Cold Fusion Hair Extensions @ ColourNation

ColourNation London Hairdressers have been applying hair extensions for many years in London. We are always keen to embrace the latest technology in order to bring, you our customers, the best possible service. We are therefore very pleased to announce the introduction of Wonderful Hair Extensions using Cold Fusion Technology (CFT) to bond hair extensions. We believe this is quite simply the best bonding system on the market and years ahead of the competition.

Hair Extensions: how long can you wait?

Typical human hair growth is 1cm / month so to achieve lengths of 50cm or more will take more than 4 years. Most people just don't have the time to wait to achieve this look. In addition many people's hair is not capable of surviving the stress and strains needed to achieve these lengths. Thankfully there is a solution. In a matter of hours we can give you the length you want.

Hair Extensions: The old Bonds

Traditionally there have been two main systems for attaching hair extensions. The first Micro Bead consists of small, normally, metal beads to which the hair extensions are 'sown'. This system is time consuming, and the beads could be quite irritating against the scalp for some clients. The second is Keratin (a natural protein in hair), a used as a ‘glue’ which is heated and bonded with the client’s hair. To form a strong bond the hair extensions often have to be 'rolled' with client hair to ensure a tight, integrated bond. Recently we have seen innovation in both these systems but they are essentially just a an automated versions of the same original Keratin Heat / Micro bead system.

Hair Extensions: The NEW Bond - Cold Fusion Technology (CFT)

Cold Fusion Technology (CFT) is different, 30 years in development, it is designed to eliminate the two biggest causes of damage to your hair, Heat & Glue. It uses ‘cold’ ultrasonic pulses to bond ‘V’ shaped keratin tips around your hair. The bond is flat so that it will sit comfortably against your scalp while being virtually invisible and easily forgotten once wearing. You'll also notice that this flat bond will spread the hair out giving a flat even spread of hair where as traditional 'rolled' extensions can make the extension more of a 'tube'. In this way the hair extensions remains firmly fixed while in use and then in two easy steps can be slid off without damage to your own hair by your stylist.

Hair extensions should last around 3 months depending on how well you care for them.

Hair Extensions: Hair Quality

We use 100% Indian hair for our extensions. This is the most commonly available and easiest to manage hair extension hair. It is also more cost effective for many clients. (European russian hair is also available but is generally much more expensive.)

To maintain the high standards we require for all our hair, each lock of hair is carefully selected by specially trained technicians in a purpose build facility in Italy. To maintain the integrity of the hair we supply our strict screening process ensures that all hair comes to us in its natural state with no chemically treated or coloured hair being accepted.

The chosen system for processing the hair is the REMIS system. This technique protects the hair cuticle keeping all the scales facing the same direction, which helps to maintain a more natural look. The REMIS system is the only system that respects the natural flow of the hair keeping its properties unchanged.

On the top of each lock of hair we attach a thin sheet of keratin. As keratin is a natural component of human hair it ensures that the hair extension blends perfectly with the natural hair, improving the application process by making it simple yet precise.

We make sure the keratin bond is the same colour as the hair lock and it has a particular shape which has been designed specifically for use with our patented hand held applicator. This ensures the sealed bond remains completely invisible, without flaws and without damaging the clients hair.

A wide range of colours is available from neutral tones to more vibrant options. Choose in salon from our wide range of colour samples.

Hair Extensions: Our Prices

If you've never considered hair extensions (perhaps thinking it's only for movie stars and the like) we offer a range of options which should suit most budgets. We offer only offer 100% real human hair because we found that cheaper synthetic alternatives and mixes while good for isolated fashion effects quickly became tangled and matted - not the look you want. We offer a wide range of hair colours and then the additional advantage if necessary of the 270+ colours offered by our ColourFactory technology.
