Loop Style Hair Extensions

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

This slick technique appeared through our Twitter feed tonight via JW Hair Design & Hair Extensions.

Loop Style Hair Extensions with I-tip strand hair. Thread the natural hair through the ring. Using the latchhook of your hair threader, hook the same hair strand again directly under the ring, bring it over the top of the ring and loop it back through the ring. Basically, you’re wrapping the natural hair around the ring and closing it off.

We’ll definitely be giving this technique a try! We can pretty much see the typical slipping associated with cold fusion installations being a thing of the past.

In this video, James Tse of Sets Salon shows us how it’s done.

Fusion Bond Maker Hair Extension Fusion Bonds

Fusion U-Tip Making Pliers and the Fusion Bond Maker have simplified making your own outstanding u-tip and square shape fusion bonds for strand by strand hair extensions. Check out the photo of the professional looking hair extension bonds you can make with these tools!

The strong composite plates delivers such a high PSI (pounds per square inch) when making bonds, they come out perfectly formed, amazingly thin and there has been no hair shedding with the tips we make.

Typically, when working with keratin-based fusion bonds, finger protectors are needed to minimize the discomfort of working with hot glue. You won’t need any finger protectors with these tools. They’re simply not necessary as you’ll never need to touch hot glue when making your bonds.

Here’s what we do – take a bulk hair strand and dip it into your fusion pot with the melted keratin chips or pellets. Coat both sides of the strand about 1/4″ down from the top. Wait a few seconds and then insert into the Fusion U-Tip Plier or Fusion Bond Maker tool. Press and wait about 5-10 seconds. Remove and presto! You’ve made your own strand fusion bond.

We also carry the Professional Fusion Removal Plier so you have the complete set!

Brazilian Hair

Brazilian Hair Extensions


Virgin Brazilian Hair
imported from the South American tropic regions of Peru, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela.

Genetically, most Brazilians have some degree of European, African, and Amerindian ancestry which is why there’s such a unique and varied texture quality to Brazilian hair and more brown shades above 1B and 2.

Our Belorio line of Brazilian hair is not gathered through the practice of tonsure like Indian hair. Our hair comes from a thriving Latin American economy. It is cleaner, healthier hair and received as original bulk ponytails.

Definition Original Bulk Ponytails: The hair is secured back into a ponytail and then cut. The ponytail is from one person and is not mixed with any other person’s hair. All hair is in original banding from when the hair was cut and guaranteed to be in correct cuticle alignment. No hair is inverted or upside down which is the true meaning of the term “remy.”

Belorio Virgin Brazilian Remy is cut directly from the donor and sent to us in correct cuticle alignment. The hair is black to off black and variations of rich brown. In some of our wefts, we’ve custom blended colors together to achieve beautiful multi-tone color. Wefts are single drawn with varying shorter lengths which requires less razoring and easier blending.

Mane Depot carries only 100% Remy genuine, authentic Brazilian hair in straight texture and glorious waves and eye-popping curls. We offer bulk hair for pretipping, ventilating and wefting or you may select ready to wear hair on machine wefting. We have one of the best custom wefts in the industry with a short return (the fold over hair at the weft) for optimum comfort and durability.

We have another new shipment in this week and offer samples of all virgin Brazilian hair currently in stock. We also have a Fotki photo album featuring numerous photos of hair we’ve imported.
