How Much Do Hot Fusion Hair Extensions Cost?

K-tip extensions are very popular among hair stylists and their clients due to the optimal price-quality ratio. 

The main advantages of this technique are a natural look of the hairstyle, a gentle method of curls fixation, and quite a long wearing time. 

Another advantage of k-tips is their versatility. This beauty treatment is suitable for almost all clients: with short or long hair, thick or thin curls, curly or sleek strands, etc.

Of course, there are some cons. This type of extensions can be installed (and removed) only by an experienced hair technician. Otherwise, you risk damaging your hair.

In addition, this beauty treatment takes on average 3-3.5 hours to install per 100 grams of hair.

To understand whether this type of extensions is good for you, please read our article about fusion hair extensions pros and cons.

Now let’s move on to what affects keratin hot fusion hair extensions cost:

  • Hair type

To date, the market has a huge selection of hair types that you can use for your hair extensions.

Let’s start with the products to avoid. This includes all kinds of synthetic bundles: they are too heavy (therefore may provoke headaches and hair loss), visually different from natural strands, and can not be dyed or styled. 

Yes, synthetic hair is much cheaper than natural bundles. However, wearing such a hairstyle won’t be a pleasure for you. As a rule, it is single-use hair.

In addition, we do not recommend using cheap Asian hair. In most cases, this natural hair is thicker and heavier which may cause discomfort in wearing and be noticeable in the hairstyle. 

Such bundles undergo aggressive processing, which destroys their structure. To hide the damage, strands are covered with silicone. As a result, you will get a hairstyle that looks good only until the first hair wash: once you wash your hair and the silicone is washed off, the locks become tangled and impossible to comb. 

The only advantage of Asian hair (Chinese, Indian, etc.) is the price. But, as you have already understood, such investments will not always pay off. It is important to carefully approach the choice of supplier.

So what type of hair to choose?
To date, there are 3 types of quality materials on the market, which undergo delicate processing according to all quality standards.

The main differences are in hair texture:

  1. Slavic hair is the perfect option for clients with natural, soft, thin undyed strands. Each time you get bundles of unique colors and sizes. The average cost of such products is $550-$750 USD per 100 grams of 18-22" long hair.
  2. Russian hair features a rich palette of shades and structures and is optimal for clients with slightly thicker hair. 18-22" Russian fusion hair extensions price is on average $350-$400 USD per 100 grams.
  3. European hair is the longest and thickest hair. For the same length and weight, you have to pay $330-$360 USD.

  • Hair texture

The thinner the hair texture, the softer and more expensive hair extensions are. 

This texture is usually found in Slavic hair, but the extension material is not suitable for all, it fits only for clients with similar density of natural strands.

Customers with medium texture (or fine-to-medium), choose the appropriate material among Russian or European hair. 

Some clients prefer denser hair with thick hair texture. 

Both of these options cost less than thin soft curls.

  • Hair structure

Hair with a light natural wave, wavy, or curly always costs more than straight hair. 

Only 11% of the world’s population have curly strands, respectively, there are fewer donors with such raw materials.

Additionally, it is important to choose not just any curly hair but strands with a curl that will fit your hair structure, which complicates the task of finding the right material. 

  • Virgin or dyed 

Virgin hair is much more expensive than dyed hair. Especially if we are talking about Slavic hair or baby hair.

These strands are undyed and are not subjected to aggressive chemical treatment. This keeps them in their natural state and they will serve you as long as possible.

  • Hair color 

The darker colors, the cheaper. Blondes and Ombres are always more expensive because they are more complex in coloring. The procedure of coloring is performed by an experienced colorist who knows how to lighten the bundle so as not to damage the curls and maintain its original quality.

Also, note that blonde and ombre require special care. Read more about it on our blog.

  • Weight of bundle

The more the material weighs — the more expensive it will cost. Consult with your hair tech, about how much hair you need to buy for your hairstyle.

In some cases, if you have too thin and soft curls, do not use too much weight. It can weaken your roots and cause hair loss.

  • Length of strands

Here the principle is the same as with hair weight. If you want very long hair, be ready to pay top dollar. 

  • Type of bonds

You can choose from standard bonds (100 pcs. per 100 grams of hair), micro bonds (120-160 pcs. per 100 grams), and nano bonds (160-250 pcs. per 100 grams).

The choice of the right tip size depends on your personal preferences, the texture of natural hair (for very thin hair it is better to use micro- or even nano bonds), as well as the professionalism of the hair stylist (not everyone can deal with micro and nano bond hair extensions).

In some cases, hair techs combine two types of keratin tips: use standard-size bonds all over the head, and on temples or other areas where the hair is naturally thinner, use micro bonds.

The cost of such services is accordingly higher.
