Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Fusion (Keratin-bond) extensions
Fusion extensions, also known as keratin-bond or pre-bonded extensions, involve attaching individual strands of extension hair to the natural hair using a heat-activated keratin adhesive, creating a strong and discreet bond.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Tape-in extensions involve sandwiching sections of natural hair between two adhesive wefts.
- C. Micro-links use small metal beads to clamp extensions to natural hair, without heat or glue.
- D. Braid-and-sew involves braiding natural hair and sewing wefts onto the braids.

A hair extension method where individual strands of extension hair, pre-tipped with a keratin bond, are attached to sections of natural hair using a heat connector to melt and fuse the bond.
- Uses keratin adhesive
- Requires heat for application
- Creates individual, discreet bonds
- Can last 3-5 months with proper care
Memory trick: Fusion's keratin bond is heated to extend your hair beyond.
