Transparent, black and brown keratin each behave differently during melting and bonding. Transparent keratin provides the cleanest, most invisible finish, brown keratin blends naturally with mid-tone hair, and black keratin creates strong, defined capsules for darker shades — a distinction confirmed in 2024 performance tests of HAIR PRO Extension Italian Keratin Granules.

Choosing the correct keratin colour is essential for creating invisible, long-lasting fusion hair extensions. While many stylists assume that colour affects only appearance, it also influences melting behaviour, clarity and final bond integrity.

Below is the professional breakdown based on Italian keratin tests used in HAIR PRO Extension production.

---

⭐ 1. Transparent Keratin (#9.x Range)

Ideal for:

Blonde, platinum, highlighted, ash, grey and fine hair.

Key characteristics:

• Melts clean and clear with no visible residue.

• Produces the most invisible bonds on light hair.

• Slightly faster melting compared to darker colours.

• Best for micro-bonds and nano-tips due to clarity.

When to use:

Clients with very light or mixed tones who require discreet, natural-looking capsules.

---

⭐ 2. Brown Keratin (#2.x, #3.x, #4.x Range)

Ideal for:

Brown, bronde, caramel, honey and light brunette shades.

Key characteristics:

• Melts into a soft, natural-toned capsule matching mid-range hair colours.

• Offers excellent blending for both warm and cool browns.

• Provides high bonding stability (180–200°C).

• Slightly denser colour = more forgiving for beginners.

When to use:

Most European hair types, especially for volume extensions and clients seeking a seamless match.

---

⭐ 3. Black Keratin (#1 Range)

Ideal for:

Dark brown to black hair, Slavic dark roots, Afro-textures and deep brunette shades.

Key characteristics:

• Strongest visual definition — bond is structured and firm.

• Excellent choice for thick and coarse hair types.

• Most resistant to yellowing or colour distortion.

• Produces maximum bonding integrity when used at the correct melting point.

When to use:

Clients with very dark roots who prefer a clean, durable, solid capsule.

🔬 Why Colour Changes Performance

The pigment concentration inside the granules slightly alters:

• melting speed

• viscosity

• clarity

• final bond opacity

In HAIR PRO Extension’s Italian keratin, these differences are engineered intentionally to give stylists maximum control for each hair shade.
