Cutting/Styling

After attaching your Nail Hair extensions it can be good to cut them to create a seamless and natural transition between your own hair and your extensions. To achieve a great transition, angle the scissors and thin out the extensions starting level with your own natural hair. If you are unsure how to do this then please contact us or your own hairdresser.

Extensions with Nail Hair can be styled using hot styling tools just like your own hair. When using curling irons, flat irons, hairdryers or any other kind of hot tool on your hair then you should protect your hair with a heat protector. Rapunzel Heat Protection gives you heat protection which surrounds and protects each strand of hair from all types of styling using heat. The heat protector gives silky soft and healthy hair and protects the hair against drying out from all types of heat styling, it works just as well on dry or damp hair. When you style your hair using heat you should also avoid the bonds, in this case the Nail bonds that are keeping your extensions attached. Heat on the bonds will melt them - just as it did when you attached them - and make them fall out.

Keratin extensions?

Many refer to Nail Hair as Keratin extensions or extensions with keratin. Rapunzel’s Nail Hair bonds however, do not contain keratin. Keratin is a sulphurous protein which is the base of, amongst other things, hair, nails and horns. All real hair therefore contains a certain amount of the keratin protein just as does real hair in extensions. Keratin can also be found in wax and therefore also in some types of bonds. Keratin in wax is originally very hard and is often produced from animal products such as horns. The amount of keratin in bonds is generally speaking very low. Rapunzel uses synthetic ingredients – not keratin wax in our bonds. The bonds are instead developed to be both effective and gentle to attach and remove using remover and the special Nail Hair pliers.
