Fusion U-Tip Hair Extensions

U-Tips have a pre-formed keratin bond at the tip of each strand. Your stylist uses a special heat tool to melt the keratin, then rolls it around a small section of your natural hair. Once it cools, it forms a flat, secure bond that's nearly invisible. The whole process takes a few hours for a full head, but the natural-looking result is worth it.

U-Tips use heat to melt a keratin bond onto your hair. I-Tips use a small micro bead instead - no heat involved. U-Tips create a very flat, smooth bond that blends seamlessly. I-Tips are often considered gentler since there's no heat. Both give beautiful results, and many stylists have a preference based on their training.

Yes, when applied and removed by a trained professional. The keratin used in the bond is similar to the protein your own hair is made of. The key is proper application - not too close to the scalp, not too much hair in each section - and professional removal using the right solution. Never try to remove them yourself.

Typically 3 to 6 months before they need to be removed and reapplied. The keratin bonds grow down with your natural hair, and once they've moved about 2 to 3 inches from your roots, it's time for maintenance. The hair itself is often reusable for another application if it's in good shape.

Use a sulfate-free shampoo and condition from mid-length to ends, avoiding the bond area. Brush gently from tips up using a loop brush, and never pull or tug at the bonds. Sleep with your hair in a loose braid to prevent tangling. Keep heat tools away from the keratin bonds, and avoid oil-based products near the attachment points.

Absolutely - they're 100% Remy human hair, so you have full styling freedom. Curl, straighten, blow dry - whatever you want. Just direct your heat tools away from the keratin bonds themselves. Use a heat protectant and keep your temperature under 350°F for the healthiest long-term results.

For a full head, most people need between 100 and 200 strands. Fine hair typically requires 75 to 125, medium hair 125 to 175, and thick hair may need up to 200. Your stylist will give you an exact count based on your hair. Reach out to us if you want a general recommendation before booking.

You can, but take precautions. Wet your hair and apply a leave-in conditioner before getting in the water. After swimming, rinse thoroughly to remove chlorine or salt. Extended exposure to pool chemicals can weaken keratin bonds, so a swim cap is helpful if you swim regularly.
