In this blog, I'll introduce one of my favorite types of hair extensions - pre-bonded extensions, and I'll explain the pros and cons of using these extensions to help you decide if they're right for you.

What are Pre Bonded Hair Extensions?

Pre-bonded hair extensions are attached to the hair by using a heat gun. The adhesive is made from keratin, a safe natural adhesive that won't cause any damage to your hair. Make sure you buy hair extensions from a trusted retailer, as inferior hair extensions are made of adhesive and are harder to remove without damaging your hair. Pre-bonded hair extensions are one of the most popular types of hair extensions that have survived despite the introduction of newer hair extensions such as micro loop extensions,I-tip hair ,U-tip hair,flat tip hair and nano ring hair.
