Regardless of your hair type --- fine, medium, or coarse --- extensions are readily available in a selection of colors and textures. Various styling methods exist and can last anywhere from one week to several months. If you are seeking longevity, Fusion hair extensions provide you with the longest wear, ranging from three to six months. Does this Spark an idea?

Types
-
Several types of Fusion bonding are available. Cold and hot Fusion are the most common. According to nychairsalon.com, UltraSonic and laser Fusion hair extensions are obtainable, but very few salons offer the methods. Most stylists in smaller towns do not offer the hot or cold technique, so you may have to seek a stylist in a bigger city.
Process
-
Hot Fusion consists of bonding separate strands of extensions to your hair. Your beautician uses hot glue to attach the extension as close to your scalp as possible. The same method is used for cold Fusion, though no heat is required.
-
Cost
-
Because Fusion extensions last longer than other types of extensions, the cost is greater. Factors that determine cost are the amount of time it takes the stylist to complete your hair and the number of extension bags used. Although price varies, be prepared to spend more than $1,000 on Fusion extensions.
Considerations
-
Always take care of your extensions. Maintain regular grooming, such as shampooing, conditioning, and moisturizing your hair. Seek the help of your beautician if you feel you are unable to keep up your hairstyle.
Warning
-
According to LiveStrong.com, hair extensions can cause significant scalp and hair damage. The scalp can become irritated under the weight of your extensions, and your real hair can break or fall out. If you have preexisting scalp issues that require medication or topical treatment, speak to your physician before investing in Fusion extensions.
