Nail Tip Hair Extensions - To Look As Natural As Possible

Posted by Ms Diane Mead on October 1st, 2015

Hair extensions can make your hair look thicker and longer. They come in a wide range of options, and if you want a more natural look, then you should consider using nail tip hair extensions. Nail tip extensions come with keratin tips, which serve as the glue bonds. The tips are heated with a fusion heat connector before they are attached to your real hair. Keratin is a widely used means for applying hair extensions. Nail tip extensions are also called, 'u tip hair extensions'.

High-quality nail tip hair extensions can help you achieve a more natural look and can last anywhere from two to three months. They are made of 100 percent human hair and you can find them typically in lengths between 14 inches and 22 inches. Nail tip extensions come in a wide range of colours from black to brown, red, varying shades of blonde and vibrant hues to match various hair shades. Likewise, they come in various thickness levels, so you can achieve the volume you want.

When fitting nail tip hair extensions, the melted keratin has to be tightly rolled around the hair to ensure a completely sealed bond. Keratin is capable of heating and cooling quickly, so it is easy to apply nail tip hair extensions. Professionals use a comb, scalp protector, finger guards, sectioning clips, and an extension lead when fitting nail tip hair extensions. It is important to have a professional fit nail tip hair extensions to make sure that the bonds are safely and correctly fitted. Fitting hair extensions without proper training and qualifications could result to an improper fit, which may damage the hair. This is why it’s best to seek the help of a nail tip hair extension specialist.

Nail tip hair extensions are comfortable and look natural as long as they are correctly fitted. Professionally fitted u tip hair extensions should not have any visible bonds, but they should be placed far enough from your natural hairline to allow natural hair to cover the bonds. Like other hair extensions, they require a setting period for the first few days as the scalp is still adjusting to them. Hence, you could feel mild itching and tenderness. Both symptoms tend to go away on their own within a day or so, and they are most likely to affect you only if you have a sensitive scalp.
