Frequently Asked Questions

Keratin hair extensions (fusion bonds) are individual strands of human hair tipped with an organic keratin protein compound. Each strand is gently fused around a tiny section of natural hair, creating a discreet, lightweight, and durable bond that moves naturally in 360 degrees.

With proper home care and routine brushing with an extension loop brush, keratin bonds typically last between 3 and 4 months. Because they are strand-by-strand, they grow out naturally with your hair and should be professionally removed or refitted around the 3 to 4 month mark.

When fitted by a CPD Accredited specialist like Maria Balan, cared for following our aftercare guidelines, and removed professionally with bond breakdown solution, keratin bonds are gentle and safe for natural hair. They distribute weight evenly without tension or pinching.

Our prices range from £200 to £800. Final cost depends on your current hair length and density, your desired length (16" to 24"), colour complexity, and the number of strands required. Exact quotes are given following a free WhatsApp photo consultation.

Yes, absolutely! One of the biggest advantages of individual keratin bonds over wefts or tape-ins is that they lie flat and rotate 360 degrees. Maria places bonds inside a clean perimeter, keeping attachments completely hidden even in high ponytails and buns.

Yes. After the initial 48-hour setting period, you can wash, blow-dry, curl, and straighten your extensions. We recommend using sulfate-free shampoos and keeping hot styling irons 1–2 inches away from the keratin bonds to prevent softening.

We strongly advise having your hair colour perfected prior to your fitting appointment. We match the extension strands precisely to your finished hair colour. While toning can be done by a professional, bleaching or lifting extensions is not recommended.

Fitting time varies based on the number of bonds. A volume boost (50–75 strands) typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, whereas a full lengthening transformation (150–200+ strands) takes 3 to 4 hours.
