The Racoon Artistic Team unveils their interpretation of the latest hair trends with Pure Fusion.
Rooted in the timeless chic of the classic bob, Pure Fusion elevates this style with sharp lines, geometric angles, bold color choices, and polished finishes. By seamlessly blending top-quality hair extensions with expert cutting, coloring, and styling techniques, this collection epitomizes creativity and innovation in the world of hairstyling.
Bob with a Graphic Edge
Strong, bold shapes for a modern appeal.
Extensions: Apply Racoon Euro hair extensions in an arc-shaped section two fingers away from the front hairline. Ensure the extensions match the natural hair color and apply them in three solid rows using Racoon's unique micro bond technique to create a full, thick, and natural-looking fringe.
Styling: Cut the extensions in a solid line on a graduated asymmetric angle, starting from a sharp point just above the eyebrow and ending at a sharp point near the cheekbone. Soften the line with clippers to achieve a sharp, blunt edge. Finish the look with a small amount of Racoon-Xtend Hair Serum for a glossy shine.

Bob with Natural Movement
A defined shape with natural movement and color.
Extensions: Create three small triangular placements in the fringe and three triangular placements down the parting. Blend the blonde with a higher level of chestnut brown to create a bleeding effect through the blonde.
Styling: Remove the weight and length of the extensions and blend them with the natural hair, cutting into a short, sharp, slightly asymmetric bob with a sleek, blunt fringe. Use clippers to achieve a really sharp, blunt edge. Spritz hair with Racoon-Xtend Thermal Defense and use styling irons to add definition, texture, and flicks.
Side-Sweeping Fringe
Precision cutting creates pure style.
Extensions: Apply Racoon Plum Vibrant Euro hair extensions in an offset reversed triangular placement two fingers away from the front hairline. The vibrant color placement is great for creating a dramatic flash of color through the fringe.
Styling: Use a razor to remove the bulk of the weight, then blend the extensions and natural hair following the shape of the initial cut. Use a point cutting technique to create a side-sweeping fringe with a soft finish around the face. Finish with a little Racoon-Xtend Hair Serum to give the hair ultimate shine and light hold.

Face-Framing Hair Extensions
Sharp yet soft edges that flatter the face.
Extensions: Apply Racoon's Plum Vibrant Euro hair extensions in a horseshoe placement around the hairline at the nape of the neck. Then, apply three solid rows of extensions matching the natural hair color. Create three triangular placements through the back, pointing towards the crown of the head.
In the left side triangular section, apply a block section of Plum Vibrant Euro extensions for a color placement, with the rest of the extension work matching the natural hair color.
Styling: Create a thick, heavy fringe by cutting in a straight blunt line, then finish with a clipper for a soft yet sharp edge. Use a razor to thin out the extensions and shatter the ends. Layer the hair and employ a point cutting technique to blend the extensions and frame the face. Finish by spritzing the hair with Racoon-Xtend Thermal Defense and using styling irons to define the shape of the style.
Short Hair with a Glossy Finish
Bold asymmetry with a high gloss finish.
Extensions: Apply a blend of vibrant and soft copper Racoon Euro hair extensions in triangular sections on either side of the head. Create a small triangular placement on the right side, with the base at the top of the head and the point towards the ear.
On the left side, create a larger triangular placement in the reverse position, with the base at the front of the head and the point towards the crown. Applying the extensions in these placements naturally lends itself to the asymmetric style of the final cut.
Styling: Use a razor to remove the bulk of the length and weight. Razor the ends to create a perfect point and then point cut the ends in order to blend the extensions and soften the finish and lighten the edges. To achieve a really glossy and polished finish, apply a little Racoon-Xtend Hair Serum over the hair.

Bob with Point Cut Hair
Dramatic color and head-turning texture.
Extensions: Apply Racoon Euro Hair extensions in a small offset triangular section at the left-hand temple, two fingers away from the hairline. Use a deep brown for this dramatic color placement, which will frame the face and accentuate the asymmetry of the cut. Utilize Racoon's unique micro bond technique to apply this color placement.
Styling: Use a razor to remove the bulk of the length and weight, then razor the ends to create a perfect point. Point cut the ends to blend the extensions and soften the finish, lightening the edges. For a glossy and polished finish, apply a small amount of Racoon-Xtend Hair Serum over the hair.
