Tools for Hair Extensions

Choose hair extension tools to suit your fitting method

The right tools start with the way your extensions attach. Tape, hot fusion, micro ring and clip-in extensions use different fittings, so choose your attachment supplies first, then add the tools you need for sectioning, brushing and removal. This collection brings together hair extension tools and accessories for both salon work and home styling.

Match your supplies to your extensions

• Micro rings for fitting without heat: Micro rings with silicone lining are designed for cold fusion extensions, including I tip strands. A cold fusion needle with a hook helps draw your own hair through the ring during fitting. Brown, black and blonde rings offer a choice of shades to blend with your hair.
• Keratin supplies for hot fusion: Keratin beads and glue sticks provide bonding supplies for hot fusion extensions. A hot fusion connector heats the keratin so the bond can be formed around the hair. Plastic shields help keep surrounding hair out of the working area, making them a useful addition to your fitting setup.
• Double-sided tape for tape extensions: Extension tape is designed for tape attachments, rather than clip or micro ring fittings. It is a practical choice when you need fresh adhesive for your tape extensions, with the tape applied to clean attachment strips.
• Bonding glue for glued attachments: Liquid hair bonding glue is suited to attaching hair wefts. Choose it for a glued fitting method rather than treating it as an interchangeable alternative to tape, rings or clips. Keep a suitable bond remover in your kit for taking out glued extensions.
• Loose clips and thread for custom extensions: Loose extension clips let you create your own clip-in pieces, while extension sewing thread can be used to sew clips onto wefts. Both are available in black, blonde and brown, helping you coordinate the attachment with the hair colour.

Add tools for sectioning and everyday brushing

Neat sections make it easier to organise your fitting work. The TBC antistatic pin tail comb is suitable for dividing hair into sections as well as styling, so it is a useful companion to your chosen attachment tools.

For everyday upkeep, the TBC extension brush uses small loops and is designed for brushing hair extensions. A dedicated extension brush gives you a convenient way to keep your added lengths looking tidy between styling sessions.

Plan for removal as well as attachment

Attachment supplies and removal products have different jobs. Liquid hair bonding remover is intended for removing glued extensions, including tape, nail tip and hot fusion attachments. If you are putting together a kit for one of these methods, include removal supplies alongside the tape or keratin rather than focusing only on fitting.
