Keratin Hair Extensions Maintenance Service

Our maintenance service for keratin-bond hair extensions is designed to refresh your style while protecting the health of your natural hair. Depending on your needs, we offer three flexible levels of maintenance:

1. Keratin Removal — We carefully dissolve and remove existing keratin bonds using a professional bond-remover solution and pliers, ensuring that the extension slides off your natural hair without damage.

2. Re-bonding — Once the bond is removed, and after trimming the tip if necessary, we re-attach each extension strand using fresh keratin, restoring secure fusion and smooth integration.

3. Full Re-application — For clients seeking a completely refreshed install: after removal and cleansing, we re-bond and re-style all extensions, as though it were a new installation — ideal for maintaining longevity, comfort, and optimal aesthetics.

This tiered structure lets us adapt the service to your hair growth, lifestyle, and how your extensions have aged — from simple refresh to full re-do.

Why proper maintenance matters for keratin extensions

Keratin-bond (fusion) extensions — whether K-tip, U-tip, flat-tip or similar — are one of the most seamless and natural methods for adding length and volume. But over time, everyday wear and hair growth can affect the integrity of the bonds: keratin can accumulate residue, become brittle, or twist; shedding hair can get trapped at bond junctions; and old keratin can harden, reducing flexibility and comfort.

Without regular professional maintenance, this may lead to:

• Tension at the roots

• Tangling or matting around bonds

• Uneven weight distribution

• Discomfort, breakage, or damage to natural hair

By offering scheduled maintenance — including safe removal, cleansing, re-bonding, and re-installation — you ensure:

• A clean scalp and bond area

• Renewed adhesion and secure fixation

• Balanced weight and natural movement

• Maximum lifespan of the extensions

What to expect at your appointment

• Professional bond-remover application at each fusion point

• Gentle removal of old keratin around each strand using pliers/tools

• Cleansing of natural hair and extension hair — clarifying shampoo / deep conditioning

• Re-bond with fresh keratin for all strands (or only those that need replacement), ensuring perfect placement and security

• Blow-dry and style to restore softness, shine, and natural flow

• Final check to confirm comfort, alignment and that no tension remains

Depending on the amount of hair and complexity, a full maintenance session can take between 2 and 3 hours.

Who should get this service and when

We recommend keratin maintenance for clients with:

• Fusion-bonded extensions older than 8 to 12 weeks, especially if they notice bond movement, residue, or tangling.

• Active lifestyles (heat styling, frequent washing, exposure to humidity/sun) that stress keratin bonds.

• Desire to extend the lifespan of their extensions while protecting natural hair health.

We suggest booking a maintenance every 2–3 months — though the exact timing may vary depending on hair growth, care routine, and wear.
