I-Tip and U-Tip: Two Types of Hair Fusion Techniques

by | May 30, 2012 | Health

Many women who have tried clip in hair extensions are dissatisfied with the final result because, even though they are a cheaper alternative, they may find them less durable than they desire. In fact, some prefer to visit a salon and allow a professional to apply extensions to their hair through the use of cold or hot fusion techniques that attach the human hair extension to your real hair. The two methods that make use of cold or hot techniques are usually sold as part of the hair, either as I-Tip (cold) or U-Tip hair extensions (using heat).

If you are looking for hair extensions that give a natural and more permanent look than clip in hair extensions in order to modify your hair style, the most popular and effective technique is through the use of fusion. This means finding the tips of your human hair wig and fusing it to appropriate places on your skull, such as the hairline, in order to give your wig or extension the look of being part of your own natural hair. This is accomplished through the use of a substance called keratin, which fuses the I-Tip or U-Tip hair extensions to your head.

I-Tip hair extensions link your extension to your hair using instruments that allow you or a professional to attach your hair into a loop one strand at a time. The ring is then compressed with pliers. The cold ring fuses the hair from the extension to your real hair so that the hair is in place, effectively lengthening your hair. Once your hair begins to outgrow the extension, you will need to use the pliers to reshape the micro-ring I-Tip again in order to disconnect your hair from the extension. One of the benefits of using authentic human hair is that it can be reused in further applications. The rings themselves are available in a multitude of colors to fit your own specific needs, including black, auburn, blonde, and gradations of lightness and darkness.

Using U-Tip hair extensions is a somewhat different process. The primary instrument to fuse the extension to your own hair is a heated iron. When you buy U-Tip hair extensions, they will be pre-treated with keratin tips. These are melted in order to adhere to your hair, bonding your strands with those of the human hair extensions. Once the keratin melts—a process that only takes a few seconds—it is attached to the strands of your own hair and rolled with the human fingers. The keratin does not retain the heat so is not hot to touch, nor is it a substance that will stick to your fingers.
