Fusion extensions, also known as bonding, or pre-bonded extensions, refer to hair extensions that are glued directly onto the individual strands of your hair with keratin. While these extensions tend to be a little expensive and they only last 2-3 months, they’re still incredibly popular. That’s due to one major benefit—fusion extensions look way more natural than other options out there, and they’re easier to care for, too. If you want to know more about keeping your extensions looking clean and fresh, we’ve got you covered.
