what is fusion (weaving) and how is it different the traditional weaving?

Answer 1

Thermal Head Bonding (also called Fusion or Modulation) - This technique is used to apply strand bonded extensions. extensions. The bonding material is a wax-like material formulated to withstand mild heat. A thermal heat appliance is used to melt the material. The adhesive quickly hardens into a firm but flexible bond. The adhesive is safe for all hair types. The bond is removed with a heating appliance.

Thermal bonding adhesives resist softening from shampooing, conditioners and oils. Strand bonding is an industry favorite. There is no bulk at the scalp leaving the hair to flow freely.

Weaves can also be sewn in using a Basic Cord Tracking Technique (also called pinch weaving, micro weaving, track locking). With this method, thin tracks of hair are positioned horizontally on the scalp and reinforced with weaving threads in a lock stitch. The tracks are positioned to follow the clients natural hair pattern. The tracks go in close to the scalp to support the weave piece. The weave piece is then attached with weaving thread and the clients natural hair is combed to cover the tracks. This technique results in long lasting great looking extensions, however, it can place stress on the scalp and hair if not done properly. Cord weaving can be used with natural, permed or relaxed hair. Again, care should be taken to limit the amount of stress on the hair and scalp.

They also have Strand Bond Weaving, where strands of hair are attached to the clients existing hair with specially formulated hair adhesives. This method is used for long wearing extensions which can be worn up to 6 months.

And 2 different other types of bonding other than Fusion Weaving.

Adhesive Bonding - Bonded hair additions use specially formulated adhesives to attach the hair. Adhesive bonding products are usually wax based or Keratin based. The Keratin based products are harder and come in medium or hard hold. The wax based product (Fusion) come in regular hold (Pro Fusion) and in medium hard hold (French Fusion). Fusion adhesives do not require acetone to remover and tend to be easier on the hair. With proper care, the French Fusion product can hold up to 3 months. Keratin adhesives are harder and can last up to 6 months.

Liquid Bonding (also called cold bonding) - This is a liquid adhesive and comes in two types. Liquid Gold (for lasting hold) and rubberized products which may be found in local beuaty supply stores. The rubberized adhesive is meant for temporary extension lasting only a few days. It breaks down easily with oils and shampoos.
