K-Tips

K-Tips are individual fusion extensions, each finished with a small keratin bond at the tip. Your stylist heats each bond and rolls it around a small section of your natural hair, one at a time, for a flat, flexible finish.

Each bundle is 25 pieces at 0.5 grams, or 12.5 grams of hair. For the front corners only, 1 to 2 bundles. For fullness on fine to medium hair, 4 to 6. For fullness on thick hair, 6 to 8. For length and fullness on fine to medium hair, 8 to 12. For length and fullness on thick hair, 12 to 14.

Most people wear K-Tips for 3 to 4 months before removal. Thicker hair can go a little longer and finer hair a little shorter, since the bonds grow out with your natural hair.

A few pieces around your face or part can take under an hour. A full head usually takes 2 to 6 hours, depending on how many bonds your stylist places.

When they are placed, cared for and removed by a trained stylist, K-Tips are one of the gentlest methods, because each bond is small and light. Damage usually comes from bonds that are too heavy for the section, skipped appointments, or pulling them out at home.

Your stylist applies a bond remover to soften the keratin, then gently slides each piece out. Never pull, cut or peel them out yourself.

K-Tips are usually replaced with a fresh set after removal. Re-tipping is possible but slow, so most stylists start new.

Yes. K-Tips are made for hybrid installs. A common pairing is K-Tips around your hairline and part, with Redefined Wefts or Tape adding fullness underneath.

Wash with a sulfate-free shampoo, keep conditioner and oils off the bonds, brush daily with a loop or soft-bristle brush, gently separate any bonds that start to stick together, and sleep with your hair in a loose braid.
