How are I-Tip extensions applied?

Most commonly, I-Tips are applied using micro-beads, where your natural hair is threaded into a bead with the extension and clamped in place—no heat needed. Alternatively, they can be heat-fused, melting the keratin tip for a longer-lasting bond, much like U-Tips.

Are I-Tip extensions safe for your hair?

Yes. The micro-bead method is gentle and avoids heat, making it a great option for many hair types. The keratin fusion method is also safe when applied by a professional and provides a strong, discreet bond.

How do you care for I-Tip extensions?

Use a sulfate-free shampoo, avoid oils near the roots, and brush with a loop brush. Sleep with your hair in a loose braid to prevent tangling.

How long do I-Tip extensions last?

With bead application, I-Tips typically last 8–10 weeks and can be repositioned. If installed with heat, they may last longer (up to 3 months), though they’re more permanent and less adjustable.

What’s the difference between I-Tip and U-Tip Fusion Extensions?

I-Tips are strand-by-strand extensions with a small keratin tip. They can be applied two ways: using micro-beads (cold fusion) for a heat-free method, or using hot fusion, where the keratin is melted and bonded directly to the hair. U-Tips, in contrast, always require heat and come pre-shaped for melting.
