Digital Keratin Bonding Iron

Which iron is better, standard size or mini?

It all depends on the size of the bond you're creating. For the best installation, the tip of your iron should not be smaller than the tab you are heating.

Standard size irons, like this one, have heat plates to melt full size k-tips tabs in one press. This allows you to heat the tab evenly which creates the strongest, cleanest bond. With a standard size iron, you avoid having to move the iron to heat different areas of the tab when you are installing full-size k-tips or larger arrow bonds.

On the other hand, mini irons are excellent for creating small pearl bonds or baby bonds. When you need to install the smallest bonds in thinner areas, a standard full size iron will work but a mini iron is the best choice for precision placement. The smaller tip allows you to see and control exactly where the bond is being placed. It's hard to avoid messy weak bonds, when using a mini iron with full size k-tip tabs. A smaller iron tip also does not overlap beyond the keratin as much so you avoid heating the surrounding hair. This is especially important around the hairline where the hair is more fragile.

If your work includes both full-size keratin tip installs and precision baby bonds, you will want to own both this iron and our mini iron.

Always use a heat shield to protect your client's scalp.

This is the same tool you see other extensions companies putting their brand name on and selling at a higher price. It's a nice tool and it works well. It won't last forever though. Depending on how heavily it is used and how it is cared for, you should expect it to last one to three years.

Many educators will suggest always having a backup iron available during an install.
