Keratin Bond "K-Tip" Extensions
Keratin bond hair extensions, also known as k-tips, use keratin to bond extensions to natural hair, providing volume and a low-maintenance style suitable for various hair types.

Lifestyle & Maintenance
K-tip At-home Care
Do NOT wash hair for at least 24-48 hours to allow your newly applied extensions to adhere completely.
Brushing
- Using a wet brush with boar bristles, brush daily to remove any knots or tangles.
- Gather the hair into a ponytail and securly hold to the scalp. Begin brushing from the ends, carefully working your way up toward the scalp.
- Brushing your hair before it gets wet will keep the hair from tangling more while washing.
- To ensure bonds stay separated the duration of wear, gently brush at the scalp and between rows. Gently pull extensions apart with your fingers to keep natural shed from tangling together.
Sectioning
Gently separate the rows daily with your fingers to ensure no hair gets trapped or tangled between the wefts. This helps prevent matting at the roots.
Styling
- Use heat protectant spray before using hot tools such as straighteners, curling irons, or blow dryers. Keeping heat styling to a minimum will prolong the life of the extensions.
- Bellami hair extensions are safe to use with thermal tools like curling wands, flat irons, and blow dryers.
- The temperature setting depends on your natural hair. You may use between 270 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit on your extensions as long as you apply proper heat protectants before styling.
- Keep all hot tools away from the point of attachment to ensure extensions do not melt or fuse.
Products
- Use sulfate-free, paraben-free, and alcohol-free products to protect the integrity of the extensions. Harsh ingredients can dry out the hair and cause the bonds to weaken.
- Avoid alcohol-based products close to the point of attachment as it may compromise the bonding agent and cause sliding.
Washing and Drying Routine
Brush extensions thoroughly before washing to remove any tangles.
Now that you have more hair, you can divide the hair into two sections and shampoo or create multiple ponytails and go section by section.
Shampooing
- Use a shampoo recommended by your stylist.
- Beginning at the top of the head, massage shampoo into the hair, carefully making your way towards the nape. Do not use a circular motion or flip your head upside down to avoid tangles.
- Part hair and rinse thoroughly. If you used the ponytail method to wash your hair, rinse one section at a time. Follow up with a final rinse.
Conditioning
- Use a hydrating conditioner.
- Apply conditioner from mid-shaft down to the tips of your hair and leave on for 2-3 minutes. NOTE: Adding conditioner at or near the point of attachment may lead to tapes sliding out.
- Rinse completely.
Drying
- Towel or air-dry your hair as much as possible before using a blow dryer.
- To protect your extensions, it is recommended that you use leave-in conditioners, heat protectants, and treatment oils from mid-shaft to ends.
- Using a blow dryer, power dry the hair.
- Start at the ends and work your way toward the scalp, round brush the hair.
Sleeping with Extensions
Braid
- Before bed, gently brush your hair and put it into a loose braid to prevent tangling while you sleep. You can also use a soft, silk scrunchie to avoid breakage.
- For added protection, consider wearing a silk or satin scarf or sleeping on a silk pillowcase to minimize friction.
- Do not go to bed with wet hair, as it can cause tangling close to the scalp. If this occurs, schedule an appointment with your stylist.
Swimming
Swim Prep
- If you’re swimming in chlorine or saltwater, protect your extensions by applying a leave-in conditioner or hair oil beforehand to create a barrier. Always tie your hair in a low braid or loose ponytail.
- Rinse your hair immediately after swimming to remove any chlorine, salt, or other chemicals. Apply a leave-in conditioner.
