All three are keratin bonds: hair pre-tipped strand by strand and attached to small sections of your own hair. The difference is the size of the bond — and that changes how the hair falls, how flat it sits and where it can go.

K-Tip — for lasting volume

The classic bond. K-Tip suits medium to thick hair and gives the most volume per strand. It’s the natural choice for a full install when your own hair can comfortably hide the bonds.

Baby K-Tip — for a softer fall

Smaller bonds sit flatter and move more freely. Baby K-Tip is a good middle ground when you want volume but also want the hair to move like your own, especially if your hair is medium to fine.

Micro K-Tip — for fine hair and hairlines

Our smallest bond. Micro K-Tip is made for fine hair, hairlines and partings — the places where every detail shows. Many installs combine Micro K-Tip at the front with K-Tip or Baby K-Tip at the back.
