West Coast Hair® is a professional method in strand-by-strand hair extensions which uses a glue-free, soft bond to connect the extension hair to the natural and forms a shell, or casing, creating a secure attachment that doesn't bind to the hair like glue-based methods. This natural and non-toxic bond seeps around the hairs and quickly dries to form a lightweight and flexible attachment to the natural hair.
There is a stylist and specialist Complete Training Kit here. We have formulated an easy to learn, learn @ your own pace Training system! Use your Complete Training Kit to familiarize yourself with the West Coast Hair® products and technique. You will perform practice installs on 2 of your luckiest friends or family, and then submit the installs using our easy submit forms. Send before, during and after pictures, and after going over any questions, we will send your membership or certificate! So fun and easy!

West Coast Hair® THE BOND™
West Coast Hair® strand-by-strand hair extensions are attached with a glue-free and fusion-free bonding agent.
THE BOND™ contains 100% naturally occurring soft lipids which form around the hair without binding to the hair. This means no pulling or tearing of the natural hair for safe, damage-free wear and removal!
THE BOND™ is a specially formulated soft bond which allows for extreme comfort and ease of wear. Your hair will not experience damage! THE BOND™ contains ColorLock™, a wonderful product which keeps your bonds vibrant, just like your hair, for the amount of time you wear them. This means you’ll find discreet and blended wear of the hair extension bonds and absolutely no flaking or whitening of the bond as you often experience in keratin and fusion bonding.
The West Coast Hair® glue-free bond is a flexible and comfortable bond which keeps your extension hair attached securely for the amount of time you want to wear it, around 4-6 months. When you are ready to remove the extension, you can simply crack the WCH bond, crumble it to small pieces by hand, and easily release the complete extension without using any chemicals or oily dissolvents.
This means you can even re-use your extension hair!

I am 100% impressed and satisfied with this product. You perfected and simplified a very tedious service and I'm so thankful and excited to offer it to my clients.
Its so easy and the results are outstanding!
I have fine hair and have been growing out a layered bob for quite some time. This product is the only permanent extension product I have ever used and I love it. I researched all methods of extension prior to making my purchase because I had great concern about damaging my fine hair.
I love this product because it is easy to apply and remove. The technique is a little tough to master on my own. My mother installed my extensions the first two times and I have installed the extensions twice on my own. I get compliments on my "beautiful" hair all the time and no one has any idea that I have extensions unless I tell them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(view all)
What are strand by strand hair extensions?
Strand-by-strand hair extensions are very small bundles of extension hair that are attached to very small bundles of your own natural hair. This produces a natural-looking, seamless flow from your own hair to the extension hair giving the appearance that very long, youthful, gorgeous hair is growing from your own head.
Why strand by strand hair extensions?
Strand-by-strand hair extensions are usually found to be the longest lasting, longest wearing hair extension method. It is very time-consuming and laborious to apply but compared to many weft methods, such as sew-ins, the strands can be worn up to 5 times longer than those types of hair extension methods. Stand-by-strand hair extension methods are also typically found to be the most comfortable and most natural-looking way to wear hair extensions.
How is this different from other methods?
The West Coast Hair® method of applying hair extensions uses its own U.S. manufactured bonding product. It is a product which contains no glues, no fusion, and no adhesives which can be found in keratin, hot and cold fusion, and traditional fusion hair extension processes.
Is THE BOND™ “fusion”?
This is not fusion, nor does this product contain any of the adhesives, adhesive wax, protein, keratin or hot glues found in other extension methods. THE BOND contains naturally occurring soft lipids and is not chemically manufactured like glues are.
I am allergic to most glues and bonds, is this different?
Yes, the West Coast Hair® bonding product uses no glues or adhesives, which are chemically derived and can cause allergic reactions. THE BOND™ contains naturally occurring ingredients (found in nature) and non-toxic properties. One of these, ColorLock™, is a cosmetic-grade ingredient, therefore probably in many of the products you already use directly on your skin. THE BOND has shown no issues for those allergic to other glue and fusion processes. It is ALWAYS recommended you do an allergy test before using and installing. Also, rinse remaining bond residue from your scalp and skin after removal to guard against any irritation. (Even grass, which is natural, can be irritating when left on your skin!)
How do these bonds benefit me?
If you install hair extensions, you will be extremely pleased with the fast application of strand-by-strand hair extensions. You will be relieved by the products ability to create its secure bond to the natural hair without any rolling, molding or pressing from you. Your fingers will thank you!
If you are a wearer, you should be so pleased with the comfort of the hair extensions and love the fact you are not using glues or chemicals in your hair. You’ll also love that you can re-wear your extension hair, if you choose, saving money and resources!
How long does my hair have to be to wear West Coast Hair®?
You can wear the extensions as long as you have hair to attach to, a couple inches at least. We have successfully added to hair as short as an inch but keep in mind that there isn't any covering hair when bonding to hair this short, and the bonds will show. A hat and scarf could be used to hide these bonds if desired. Hair that is at least 5 inches in length is optimal for blending and covering the hair extension bonds.
What can the bonds handle?
The hair extensions can be worn, washed, dried, styled and slept in day after day and night after night without the need to remove them for many months!
You'll take care not pull on your extensions while your bonds are hot (maybe from a hot hairdryer or direct sun or a sauna) but the bonds can handle what your skin can. If you place a hot hairdryer right at your skin, you will burn it. This is the same with the bonds.
How long can I wear them?
The bonds are created in a manner that they will last in the hair safely and comfortably for up to 6 months or longer with proper maintenance and care. Most, according to normal hair growth, will want to remove and reinstall the hair extensions around the 3 to 4 month point, around 15-17 weeks. By then the bonds have grown out and may have begun to peek through the hair.
How do I take them out?
Removal is easy! There are no chemical removers or tools that will pull on your hair or tear at it. You will simply bend the bond back and forth to crack it up completely until it releases the extension bundle. The residue is simply combed or brushed out.
Depending on the amount of time you have worn your extensions, shed hairs will have accumulated and be held in the hair extension bonds. At the time of removal you will come across these hundreds of shed hairs which will have tangled around the root hairs of that strand. Those shed hairs also wrap themselves around the bond leaving bits of bond residue in the hair.
Careful combing of these shed hairs and tangles releases the shed hairs and remaining bond and leaves the natural hair and new growth completely unharmed. No harsh chemicals at the scalp or oily removers to use! This means you can reuse your extension hair!
Can I color my hair while wearing the extensions?
You can color/foil any of the hair that is not bonded. Please note, you must be careful with the hair that is bonded because the chemicals you use to color can seep down the hair shaft and be held in the bonds and cause damage to the hair if it is not rinsed out. Also, be aware that hair colored while wearing the bonds will remain uncolored while held in the bonds. This will produce an uncolored area when removing the bonds.
Can I color or perm the extension hair?
The remy extension hair comes in colors and textures you can match and blend to your client. You may color or perm the extension hair we have available for this. There is more information for the stylist on extension hair you can color or perm in your Complete Training Kit.
Can the hair be ponytailed or worn in an up-do?
Easily and unnoticeably! Wear pigtails, braids, ponytails.
Do I need to use special shampoo and other products?
Your extensions can be washed normally and the bonds will withstand shampoos and conditioners. It is recommended that gels and mousses are kept off of the bonds and that the bonds are rinsed very well after washing. Non-sulfate products are best for the hair as sulfates can dry the extension hair.
Can I sleep in the hair extensions?
Yes, a loose ponytail or braid is recommended when sleeping. A silk or satin pillowcase can help guard against tangling and matting. You might actually wake up with hair ready to wear all day!
How much do West Coast Hair® hair extensions cost?
This varies by location and is according to your stylist or salon pricing. Do remember that there is an incredible amount of training and labor involved in applying hair extensions. The process takes many hours to apply correctly and with the desired natural looking result. Also keep in mind that the pricing for hair extension products can get very expensive, especially if you are looking for 100% tangle-free human hair. The better the hair, the less a pain it is to take care of it and prices will reflect as such. Plan to spend a few hundred dollars just on the hair you will wear and for quality product you can reuse, if you choose. Hair extensions are a definite investment but usually well worth the dollars as they produce an amazing end result that raises our confidence level.
