FAQs — I-Tip Hair Extensions

Installation & Maintenance

Q: Can I cut I-Tip Extensions?
No — each strand is pre-bonded with keratin and cannot be cut. Trimming should only be done after installation to shape the final style, not through the tip itself.

Q: How are I-Tips installed?
Each strand is secured using a small micro ring or copper tube. The client’s natural hair and the I-Tip strand are threaded through the ring, then clamped in place — no heat or glue required.

Q: Are I-Tips suitable for beginners?
Not recommended. Accurate placement and tension control are required to ensure a secure fit and avoid discomfort or slippage.

Q: Can I choose which type of bead to use?
Yes — I-Tips can be applied using a range of beads (silicone-lined, copper, or aluminium). If you have a preferred fitting method, feel free to note it at checkout or message us before ordering.

Q: Can I reuse I-Tips?
Yes — with proper removal and re-bonding, I-Tip hair can be reused several times. Make sure to use new beads for each fitting and follow correct aftercare between installs.

Colouring & Styling

Q: Can I-Tips be coloured or toned?
Yes — they can be coloured or toned by a professional. Always perform a strand test first and avoid applying colour directly on the keratin bond.

Q: Can I use heat tools on I-Tips?
Yes — the hair is heat-safe up to 180°C. Always use a heat protectant and avoid applying direct heat to the bonded tip.
