Product Spotlight: Sapphire Pre-Tipped Hair Extensions




One of top selling products is Sapphire Collection Pre-Tipped Hair Extensions. Our Sapphire Collection Pre-Tipped Hair Extensions is manufactured exclusively for Sunny's Hair & Wigs.

So we'd thought we give you few tips and techniques about our top selling product online.

How Many Packages will I need?
The Sapphire Collection Silky Straight Pre-Tipped Hair has 100 strands per bag and most customers use two bags for a full head of hair extensions. The Sapphire Collection Yaki Pre-tipped hair has 150 pieces per bag. If you are looking to do a full head most people purchase two bags. They don't use the entire two bags but there is usually 25 pieces remaining for touch ups and maintenance.

What are the tips like on the I-Tip?
The tips on the I Tip hair is small enough to fit into small microbeads used in fusion hair extension methods such as Hair Dreams. The tips on the Sapphire Yaki pre-tipped hair is a little larger and cannot fit in the small beads. We suggest purchasing medium or large beads for cold fusion application methods.

What are the tips like on the Keratip?
The Keratip bonds are not to large so they don't seem bulky in the hair.


What's the difference between Keratip and I Tip?
Keratip is applied directly onto the hair with a Ceramic heating tool designed for pre-tipped hair. The I Tip hair requires either a plastic shrinkie or a microbead to link the hair. I tip hair is used for cold fusion methods.

What's the best selling color?
1B is our best selling color in Yaki.
18/22 is our best selling color in Silky Straight

What are the blonde tones like?

Sapphire Collection tones of blondes tend to be ashy. If you are looking for golden blonde tones we recommend Bohyme Pre-Tipped Hair Extensions.
How long will Sapphire Collection Pre-Tipped hair last?
We recommend that the hair should not be used longer than six months. Most clients use this hair for 3-4 months and do not reuse the hair.
How does Sapphire Collection compare with Indian Hair Pre-Tipped Hair?

The Indian hair is better quality in that it is unprocessed hair so the cuticle is healthy and more resilient. The Indian hair though is not colored and for many women if you want a particular color Sapphire hair is a better option. Sapphire Hair Yaki also offers more texture than Indian hair. Many women find that their hair texture is coarse and does not blend with their hair so Sapphire Collection is the best choice.

Can I curl Sapphire Collection Pre-Tipped hair?
Yes. It also looks nice when it is roller set.

What products do you recommend for Sapphire Collection Pre-Tipped Hair?

We like lightweight products such as Keracare. The hair needs moisture and harsh shampoos with detergents are not good for longevity. If you have pre-tipped hair extensions you will want to avoid putting oils or citrus based shampoos on your hair especially where the hair is bonded to yours.

Can I apply Pre-Tipped Hair Extensions myself?

We don't recommend it. If you are looking for stylist recommendations visit Sunny's Stylists

How do I remove the Sapphire Pre-Tipped Hair Extensions?

If you have cold fusion methods you will need a special removal tool to open the microbeads. We recommend soaking your hair the night before you apply your hair extensions with the Citrus Remover. It is a gentle oil based remover that allows the hair to slide off the hair shaft.
If you use Keratip hair you will need a soft plier tool and the D Bond Gel Remover. You can try to go without D Bond Gel Remover but do so at your peril. WE LOVE D-BOND GEL REMOVER!!!! IT sits only on the bond of the hair extensions and doesn't dry out your hair with damaging acetone. You put a tiny amount of the gel on the bond and use the pliers to softly break down the bond. The hair should slide right down your hair shaft.
