of Attachment |

So small, you can barely see
them! The color of the bond matches the hair color too! |

Large bonds that turn powdery. |

Large, itchy, and the ring's
paint chips revealing the shiny metal through hair. |

Big, bulky tracks sewn onto
your hair that is braided tightly against your head in
cornrows.

Big, bulky tracks that sag and
painfully hang by 1" sections of hair. |

Attachment Method |
Best
100% Keratin Bond, a natural
Protein Polymer that bonds with heats less than 150°. |
Good
Bonds weaken under heat and
come out easily or stick to loose hairs creating mattes. |
Bad
Clamped to hair using tiny
metal rings. Bacteria and oil can can seep into and/or be
trapped in these rings. May cause breakage and/or slip off
often. |
Very Poor
Natural hair is braided tightly
against scalp causing constant tension that may cause
alopecia, a hairloss disease. Bulky, noticeable, uncomfortable
rows are sewn onto braided cornrows.
|
Worse
Natural hair must be teased at
the root to attach tiny metal comb-clips. May cause alopecia,
a hairloss disease from concentrated tension. Bulky,
uncomfortable rows. |
