How to distinguish and remove hot fusion and cold fusion hair extensions?

September 11, 2020

In the hair extension series, we have produced several different types. One of the very popular products is Pre-bonded. As we all know, pre-bonded is divided into two different types, hot fusion (Stick tips, Nail tips, V tips, K tips) and cold fusion(Flat tips, Fan tips, Nano tips). As the name suggests, hot fusion is required For the types of heated hair extensions, cold fusion does not require heating, only a micro ring is needed for fixed types of hair extensions. Then, what is the difference between cold fusion and hot fusion, let’s read on!


1.How did they produce?

Hot fusion, also known as keratin hot fusion pre-bonded hair extensions, is one of the advanced methods of hair extension. The difference from most extensions is that keratin hair extensions are injected with keratin in advance and pre-bonded, that is to say, Let the glue be pre-installed on each strand of hair, and you do not need to buy glue separately. The glue is also made of keratin, which can effectively prevent hair damage and make it easier to attach to our hair. On the contrary, cold fusion does not require glue and only needs to be fixed with a micro ring during the installation process.


2.Advantages & Disadvantages between cold fusion and hot fusion

Advantages-

On the one hand, the duration of both is relatively long, which can last for 5 months or even longer. The specific service life should refer to how you care, and both can be perfectly integrated with your own hair, which is very natural. Simply put, hot fusion is easy to attach to your own natural hair. Relatively speaking, cold fusion is safer and gentler to use, and there is almost no damage to the hair.

Disadvantages-

Hot fusion needs to use glue. Its tip part has pre-installed glue. During the installation process, a heating tool is used to melt and adhere to your own hair. At the same time, professional technicians are required to install and cannot be reused.

3.The differences between hot fusion and cold fusion

There is still a big difference between these two products. Hot fusion(Nail tips, V tips, K tips/ Flat tips) is also called keratin hair extensions. Heating tools are needed during the installation process. A small part of the top of the product is keratin glue, which is fixed by keratin. This fixing method is gentler and safer than fixing with ordinary glue.

However, cold fusion(Stick tips, Fan tips, Nano tips, Micro loops) is very different from it. Cold fusion is a kind of pre-bonded hair extension that can be installed without heating. It only needs to be fixed with a micro ring, and we provide a variety of micro rings in different colors. To adapt to different hair colors, because there is no need to heat during the installation process, there is almost no loss of hair in this way.


4.How to choose

Many people may be very distressed to see here, so which one should I choose? We recommend that you conduct thorough research on your target market and group before ordering and make an assessment between cost and profit.

5.How to Remove Glue-in or U-Tip Hair Extensions?

If your extensions are shedding and/or falling apart, it's time to remove them. Since these are usually the longest-lasting locks, removal is tricky. You can do it all on your own, but a second hand would help tremendously.

Removing Glue-in or U-Tip Extensions with Pliers and quality keratin extensions remover.

There are some gels to break down glue, but they usually don’t work that well. Here’s the fastest and safest way to remove glued-in extensions.

Locate the bond between your hair and extensions. Use a mirror if necessary.

Take pliers and squeeze the bond hard. This will start the glue breakdown process.

If bonds don’t give in, squeeze them on the side, then roll between your fingers.

At this point any adhesive will turn into small grains, releasing extension strands.

Repeat this for as long as necessary. Play your favorite music to make it somewhat fun.

That's it! Enjoy refreshed and lighter head.
