About Italian Gel Keratin
Premium Italian gel keratin is the industry standard for professional K-tip hair extension bonding - used both for pre-bonding new K-tips and for rebonding strands through a second wear cycle. The formula delivers a secure, long-lasting hold (3 to 6 months) without damaging the client's natural hair. Italian-made keratin has been the gold standard for decades, which is why premium extension brands specify it by name. Our italian gel keratin is the same one used in every pre-bonded K-tip we ship. As a standalone product, this keratin for hair extensions lets salons build custom bundles, rebond reused K-tips, and handle specialty color requests - italian keratin bonding done the right way.
How It Works & Application
The workflow is simple: apply keratin to the tip of the strand, then heat with a keratin iron (280 Flat or 360 Loop) until it melts and fuses into the bond. Once cooled, the bond is strong and clean - but fully reversible with a keratin remover during takedown. The keratin is heat-activated and needs no mixing, no additives, no wait time. This k-tip bonding keratin performs consistently at 160-180°C / 320-356°F - the working range for the italian gel keratin format - and our professional keratin for extensions bonds the same way every time.
Who It's For
Target audience: professional hairstylists, extension specialists, and salons that create custom K-tips or offer rebonding services. Available in multiple shades to match the client's hair, so the bond disappears into the strand. PRO accounts receive a 20% discount on every order of italian gel keratin. This is the exact hair extension keratin glue used by HerHairExt on every pre-bonded K-tip we ship - which means salon rebonds match the original bond's quality, because they use the same k-tip bonding keratin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this the same keratin used for the pre-bonded K-tips?
A: Yes - identical formula. HerHairExt uses this exact Italian gel keratin on every pre-bonded bundle we ship, which keeps rebonds consistent with the original bond quality.
Q: At what temperature does the keratin activate?
A: The working range is 160-180°C / 320-356°F. Most professional keratin irons (280 Flat, 360 Loop) hold that range precisely - consult the iron's specs to confirm.
Q: How long does one pack of keratin last in a salon?
A: It depends on volume - a single pack typically covers 2-4 full-head installs or 5-8 rebonds, depending on strand count per bundle and bond size.
Q: Can I use this for rebonding reused K-tip extensions?
A: Yes - this is the standard rebonding keratin. Apply to cleaned strand ends after removing the old bond, and heat-fuse with a rebonding iron.
Q: Does the keratin damage natural hair on application?
A: No - applied correctly (no closer than 1 cm from the scalp, with proper iron temperature), Italian gel keratin bonds cleanly to the tip without affecting the client's natural hair.
