Pre-bonded Hair Extension

Fusion hair extensions with proper care and maintenance can last longer than bonded hair extensions, typically up to 4-6 months. However, they can also experience shedding or breakage if they are not cared for correctly. Avoid using excessive heat, brushing the hair too vigorously, and making tight hairstyles that can pull on the extensions.

The cost of bonded and fusion hair extensions depends on these factors:

1. Quality of the hair
2. Length of the extensions
3. Location of the salon 
4. Experience of the stylist

On average, the cost of bonded hair extensions can range from $200 to $800. The salons are charging upwards of $1,000 or more for a full head of extensions. 

On average, the cost of fusion hair extensions can range from $500 to $2,000 or more. The salons are charging upwards of $3,000 for a full head of extensions. 

For high-quality extensions, do your research and find a reputable manufacturer. High-quality bonded and fusion extensions presented by a reputable manufacturer like ours last longer and look great.

Both bonded, and fusion hair extensions can be damaging to your natural hair if they are not applied or maintained properly. Improper application and maintenance can cause breakage, hair loss, and scalp irritation.

Bonded hair extensions are applied using a bonding agent that is melted onto your natural hair. If the bonding agent is applied too close to your scalp, it can cause discomfort, irritation, or even hair breakage when it's time to remove the extensions. If the extensions are left installed for too long or not removed properly, then extensions cause damage to natural hair. 

Fusion hair extensions are applied using heat to melt the bond onto your natural hair. If the heat is too high or the extensions are kept installed for too long, it will be damaging to your natural hair. Furthermore, if the bonds are not properly and evenly placed on the hair, extensions become too heavy for natural hair, which can lead to hair breakage and even hair loss. 

So, opting for an experienced stylist is as important as purchasing high-grade extensions. Experienced stylists take necessary precautions to minimize the risk of damage to your natural hair. On a personal level, following proper care, not missing regular maintenance appointments, and using gentle products are the best things you can do for a better experience of wearing bonded and fusion hair extensions.
