What are keratin bond extensions?

Keratin bond hair extensions are the most advanced hair extension method using tiny keratin protein tips to attach individual strands of premium human hair to your natural hair. Unlike tape or glue extensions, keratin bonds use the same natural protein found in your hair, making them completely safe and invisible. At FAKE, we hand-tip each keratin bond extension in-salon and colour-match them perfectly to your hair for seamless, undetectable results.

How to care for hair extensions with keratin bonds?

Caring for keratin bond hair extensions is simple: brush gently from mid-length to ends with a professional extension brush, sleep with hair in a loose plait, avoid pulling on the bonds, and use sulphate-free hair products. Book your 12-week maintenance appointment to keep them looking perfect. Our North England clients receive detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support to ensure your keratin bonds stay beautiful throughout the entire wear cycle.

How do you wash your hair with keratin bond extensions?

Wash keratin bond hair extensions 2-3 times per week maximum using sulphate-free shampoo. Wash in downward motions, never rub or scrub the bond area, condition from mid-length to ends only (avoiding the bonds), and gently squeeze out water with a microfibre towel. Always blow-dry on low heat from roots downward. This gentle washing routine maximises the lifespan of your keratin bond hair extensions.

How do you apply keratin bond hair extensions?

Professional keratin bond application involves: detailed hair analysis and sectioning, custom colour-matching and bond preparation, heating the keratin bond to activate the protein, bonding the extension strand to your natural hair, and shaping the bond for invisibility. This process takes 2-3 hours for a full head and requires specialist training and equipment. DIY application is not recommended as incorrect technique can damage your hair or cause poor bond adhesion.

How long do keratin bond hair extensions last?

Professional keratin bond hair extensions last 10-12 weeks before requiring removal and refitting. The actual hair can be reused multiple times over 8-12 months with proper care and professional maintenance. During your refit appointment, we remove the old bonds using a gentle keratin remover solution, re-tip the hair with fresh keratin, and reapply. This reusable system makes keratin bonds excellent long-term value.

Our keratin bond hair extensions are considered the best because we specialise exclusively in this method, using superior materials and professional application techniques refined over 13+ years of experience.

Are keratin bonds good for fine hair?

Yes, keratin bonds are the best hair extension method for fine hair. The tiny bonds distribute weight evenly across your scalp, reducing stress on individual strands. They lie completely flat against your head and are virtually undetectable, even in very fine hair. At FAKE, we customise the bond size specifically for fine hair clients, ensuring maximum comfort and natural appearance without any damage to your delicate hair structure.

How are keratin bonds removed?

Keratin bonds are removed safely using a professional keratin remover solution that dissolves the protein bond without damaging your natural hair. The process takes about 1 hour and should only be done by trained professionals. Never attempt to remove keratin bonds yourself as improper removal can cause hair breakage. At FAKE, removal is included in your refit appointment, and we always examine your natural hair health before reapplication.
