The most popular and most common method of applying extensions is the bonding method. The hair is applied to your own using an applicator fed with hot wax and last up to 3 months once applied. Wax is used not glue, so the hair can easily be applied and removed preventing damage to your own hair. The most popular type of hair we use is euro for its silky smooth texture and amazing quality. Other hair we use is standard and fibre. Standard hair is a lot cheaper but a lot more fragile than euro as it has had its cuticle stripped. You can not colour standard hair. Fibre is not made from human hair. Great for kids on their school holidays wanting to add a few crazy colours to their hair without the damage caused from colour. Suitable for people who do not apply any heat appliances to their hair.
This method is superb for creating longer fringes and great for lengthening and thickening the sides of those thin, flat bobs.
Once the hair has been applied it can be re-used depending on the condition it is left in.
