Thermal Bonding Application and Tools
We have a great selection of Thermal Bonding Tools. From Keratin Hot Pots, Keratin Glue Guns to Heat connectors. Depending on your preferred tool, we have the correct bonds to use with them.
Use the Heat Connector to apply American Dream Pre-bonded U Tip Hair Strands and to re-apply them using our Keratin Replacement U-Tip packs.
Use the Glue Gun & Glue Sticks to create your own pre-bonded micro ring I-Tip Strands or to simply attach strands of extensions directly to your client’s hair.
Use the Thermostatic Glue Pot with our Keratin Pot or/and Keratin Pearls to create your own pre-bonded micro ring I-Tip Strands or to simply attach strands of extensions directly to your clients hair.
Thermal Bonded extensions can be worn up to 12 weeks. During this period a 4 weekly touch up is recommended as strands will loosen and drop as the natural hair sheds and grows.
Extensions should always be applied and removed by a professional. All American Tools are for professional use only.

Please follow the care instructions relevant to the type of extensions and accessories you have. How you care for human hair, Thermofibre and synthetic products varies:
HUMAN HAIR EXTENSIONS & HAIR PIECES
WASHING
1. Extensions should be washed as infrequently as possible for best durability and to prevent damage to the hair’s protective silicone coating. AMERICAN DREAM recommends washing once a week with its low pH Soft and Silky or Manhattan range shampoos. 2. Lather shampoo in your hands then gently apply to the hair, taking care not to massage vigorously in particular around the bonds/attachment points. 3. Rinse gently but thoroughly with lukewarm water. 4. Apply our Soft and Silky Conditioner or our Manhattan Conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends, not on the bonds or the scalp. 5. Rinse gently but thoroughly with lukewarm water.
STYLING
Silky Straight – 1. Brush or comb using our lonic Brush or Comb specially designed for hair extensions. 2. Leave to dry naturally or blow dry using a mid-heat. 3. To keep your extensions looking new and glossy every day, use our Soft and Silky Spray to detangle and add shine.
Wavy – 1. Push hair upwards to reform the curl. 2. Leave to dry naturally or for extra volume and speed in drying use a diffuser. Use a wide tooth comb to style. 3. To keep your extensions looking new and glossy every day, use our Soft and Silky Spray to detangle and add shine.
