The extensions are placed 1 cm from your roots and fixed using different techniques. Depending on the hair salon where you plan to put your extensions, learn about the methods.

The break time of the product is between 15 and 25 minutes for optimum effect. In this way, the keratin penetrates deep into your hair: it feeds them, sheaths and gives them a shiny side. The care will provide flexibility, redefinition, and nutrition without frizz or weigh down the hair.
