How K-Tip Extensions Are Installed

K-Tip extensions (also called keratin bond extensions) are applied strand by strand. Each extension has a keratin tip that is bonded to a small section of your natural hair using a heat tool.

✨ The keratin softens, wraps around your hair, and cools to create a secure, invisible bond. This means no wefts, beads, or braids. They are just lightweight extensions that move and feel like your own hair.


Who K-Tip Extensions Are Best For

K-Tips can work for many different hair types, but they’re especially popular for clients with fine to medium hair or those with sensitive scalps who prefer a bead-free method.

  • They can double the density of your natural hair, which makes them perfect if you want more fullness without a dramatic change in length.

  • They’re discreet enough for clients who wear their hair up often, since the bonds are nearly invisible.

How Long K-Tips Last

One of the biggest advantages of K-Tip extensions is their longevity. With the right at-home care, they typically last 3–4 months before needing to be removed and reapplied.

✨ Unlike wefts or other methods, there are no maintenance move-ups in between — making K-Tips ideal for those who want a “set it and forget it” extension experience.

Why Clients Love K-Tips

  • Natural movement: Installed strand by strand, K-Tips move like your own hair for an undetectable finish.

  • 360° styling freedom: Because the bonds are so small, you can wear your hair up, down, or styled any way you like.

  • Low-maintenance: No in-salon maintenance until removal. Just be sure to follow your at-home care routine.

  • Perfect for events or everyday wear: Whether you want extra polish for your wedding or everyday luxury, K-Tips deliver a seamless result.


Are K-Tip Extensions Right for You?

Every extension method has its own benefits, and the best choice depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and goals. K-Tip extensions are a great match if you’re looking for a natural, discreet, and long-lasting option without frequent salon maintenance.
