Outside the window, the wind howls, whether under the feet either snow, or muddy porridge, and someone has snowy mountains or storm clouds. And so want to decorate this dullness. So let's do it - let's start with a hairstyle with Kanekalon. We offer you 25 ideas of simple and complex hairstyles.
What it is?
Kaneka Corporation (株式会社 カ ネ カ) is an international corporation from Japan, which in the 60s began to produce synthetic fibers, such as nylon. Over time, acrylic fiber called kanekalon. There are two types of Kanekalon: natural algae and artificial - modacrylic fibers. At the same time, there are goods in stores, in the description of which “artificial hair with algae hood” is indicated. The greater the percentage of algae, the more natural the hairstyles look.
Natural hair depends on the color of the curls: You can pick up the strands to match your own hair or use a real color blast. Brunettes for a few hours, days or months can become blondes and vice versa.
In the past few years, bright monochromatic, multicolored, or ombre effect have gained popularity. The advantage of using bright Kanekalon is that you don’t need to dye your own hair in revolutionary colors, because this hairstyle is not suitable for any “bow”.
Features
If there is a desire to get the most natural hairstyle, then before buying you need to examine the curls close, touch, check the label on which the composition of the fibers should be indicated. On this will depend not only the appearance, but also the method of hair care, as well as the safety of the use of the goods.
Kanekalon differs according to the method of curling:
- corrugation (twisted strand);
- Zizi (ready pigtail, woven into the hair);
- Catherine Twist (strand twisted in a spring);
- curls (formed loose curls);
- pony (twisted strands with curls at the ends);
- curls (dense curly strands);
- Senegalese braids (two strands, which in the form of bundles twisted, for example, to the right, and then twisted with each other to the left).
Braids (braids) differ in the ways of weaving:
- colored braids may be of one contrasting color with respect to their hair or be of several colors;
- up to 400 pieces of Afro-braids using one or more colors;
- French braids in the amount of two to four pieces, straight or in a circle;
- various spikelets: “fish tail”, whelps, French on the side, boxing, around the head, zigzag, double, two spikelets (this is a classic of weaving);
- dreadlocks are woven not only with kanekalona, but also with the use of woolen threads (this is if you do not want to shave naked after completely natural dreadlocks get tired).
Hairstyles using Kanekalon can be done without braids:
- bobbins due to color and light negligence can be a beautiful chignon;
- bundle braided using natural or multi-colored fibers;
- You can weave colored ribbons into flagella and thus make chic new year hairstyles;
- afro-curdles perform both in one and in two colors using the ombra technique for long hair, very suitable for girls with dark skin;
- the tail can be made independently of long hair, placing it high or low, on the side of the temple or on the neck, while the hair can be smooth or curled (curls, curls, ponies).
Boxer braids (boxing braids, the common name for hairstyles with Kanekalon) are becoming more diverse due to the material used. If earlier it was only monotonous or multicolored fibers, now artificial hair with the effect of a chameleon (when the sun rays hit they change color) has appeared or the effect of fluorescence (perfect for a club, evening city or night beach). Hairstyles soothing shades can be improved with ribbons, hairpins, other accessories. They will decorate the head and strengthen hair.
Versatility, Pros and Cons
The material will be universal if it is of high quality. Determine the quality is quite simple: you need to scald new strand boiling water. If the fiber has become very similar to natural wet hair, then this is a real kanekalon 100%. Modacrylic fibers are heavier, you cannot fix them with boiling water, you cannot curl them. But almost all types of ready-made corrugation, zizi, pony, curls - this is synthetics, which is useless to check with boiling water.
In order that the hair did not push, it is burned by fire. Artificial hair must be very tightly woven into braids, otherwise they will quickly slip off the hairstyle. Strands of seaweed easily heat-treated, due to which you can create unusual hairstyles.
Thus, the advantages of Kanekalon and hairstyles with him can be called:
- the ability to increase the volume, length of hair and diversify hairstyles;
- the ability to create a festive mood due to the bright variety of material;
- hypoallergenic and natural fiber safety;
- antistatic properties;
- the ability to create a new image without drastic changes in their own hair.
Minuses:
- significant weighting when wet artificial fibers;
- It is difficult to find 100% close shade to your hair;
- for fixing, you need to very tightly braid Kanekalon in a braid, hair follicles are injured from this;
- the fibers fade pretty quickly;
- not suitable for people with weak hair;
- In the first 2–3 days, the head may itch very much due to the fact that the hairstyle is very tight.
There are many photos of little girls on the Internet with bright Kanekalon braids. It is not recommended for children up to 7 years old to weave artificial hair, as theirs can suffer very much from this, stretching and becoming thinner.
How much they keep and how to care?
There is a fundamental difference in the hairstyles and materials used:
- the hairstyle is created in such a way that the patch hairpiece can be removed at any time;
- hairstyle created for several months.
In the first case, used hairpins, clips, capsules. So, you need to unbutton them, disconnect. The second case - interweaving - is more complex and long. African braids in the amount of 120-400 pieces in two hands weave for a period of time from 10 to 24 hours, in four hands - for 8-12 hours. This hairstyle can be worn (subject to correction) for 3.5 months. Other types of weaving will last about 3 months. Senegalese kanekalon tressions are worn for 1.5 months.
If the hairstyle was not created for one day, then you need to follow a few rules to save it:
- Kanekalon braids, plaits and dreadlocks do not like hot water;
- head can be washed no more than once a week with a sponge not foaming;
- shampoo use any;
- air conditioning is welcome;
- hair dryer is prohibited;
- from headgear only a handkerchief or bandana is allowed;
- for the night the hairstyle is hidden under the hair net or kerchief;
- before bathing in reservoirs, it is better to apply gel or styling varnish on the hair.
Bright hairstyle is freedom
They are right who writes that not everyone dares to drastically change their hairstyle. Long live those who decided to become brighter, more interesting, more expressive. Sometimes this is the only way to express yourself, to draw attention to yourself. Let it tressy to match your hair, but now loose hair looks luxuriant and airy. Let it be flur, but now you will definitely be noticed at a beach party.
But whether to use a bright image for work, school or university is up to everyone to decide for themselves. Bright is not always stylish and appropriate. Before using unusual curls or pigtails, think over your “outfit” (bow, image) well. Here is an example of the fact that even bright Kanekalon will not be able to hide the bad taste.
How to do it yourself?
Many light hairstyles can be made independently. In some cases, it is enough to fix them with clips, thin transparent rubber bands, pins or hairpins, in others - to weave them into your hair.
For a beautiful hairstyle you will need:
- pastel and bright strands (the combination will look delicious);
- a mirror, preferably a folding trellis;
- comb with fine teeth to create a part;
- fasteners in the form of gum, stealth, studs;
- wax, matte clay to put hair.
A large number of hairstyles are created on the basis of braids. Maybe one, two, three and much more. Weaving can be direct and reverse.
Below is a step-by-step instruction for creating braids.
- Hair near scalp slightly combed, apply a styling agent. Curly or very fluffy hair to process wax or clay.
- Parting (parting).
- Take in your hand the right amount of artificial strands and bend them in half. Start to weave in your hair from the point of the bend. You can fix a transparent rubber band or barrette.
- Weaving "on the head" is carried out according to the rule: one strand is the consignment note, two are your own. Be sure to ensure that the artificial hair was on top, well viewed, evenly distributed.
- The tighter the braid is adjacent to the head, the more fashionable the hairstyle looks.
- Braids can end only with artificial strands or interspersed with their hair. Too long linings trim.
- Hair must be fixed with lacquer.
Hairstyles for short hair can be done from 7 cm length of hair. The principle is the same, but you need to constantly wet your hair with water to give it neatness. And kanekalon need much more.
Still need to choose the right color combination:
- all colors look beautiful on dark hair;
- The choice of color for blonde hair depends largely on the makeup and image created.
Today dreadlocks (dreadlocks - frightening curls) - this is just an interesting hairstyle. And if natural dreadlocks are created over the years, then artificial can be done in a few hours. And you can buy and ready and attach yourself.
