Hollywood hair extensions: technology and features of the procedure

Hair extension was a salvation for those women who by nature they are not as thick as we would like. The technology allows you to quickly change the length of the curls to create the necessary hairstyle. Hollywood building has its differences, pros and cons, all this will be discussed in the article.

Hollywood hair extensions came to us from actresses who needed to maintain the stage image, respectively, and increase the length of the curls. The effect of a larger volume was easily achieved with the help of a special procedure, which meant first creating a braid on the back of the head, it was to them that the donor strands were attached. Sometimes this build-up is also called aproning due to the use of this kind of braids.

It cannot be said that it was convenient to wear such artificial hair, as it was necessary to fix it with the help of special threads. Neither of which combing and speech could not be, and all because the curls could be torn off from the head with a slight careless movement, so no strands were worn.

With the advent of new technologies, the method has been improved. Now used keratin capsules, through which attach donor curls. But, they alone are not enough, the process also uses an ultrasonic device.

This is a great solution for those who can not boast too thick mop of hair, or wants to quickly lengthen the curls. But not every woman can afford such a procedure, because there are contraindications, which include several factors:

• natural curls are weak, very fragile and thin;
• there is frequent hair loss;
• if there are any dermatological diseases on the scalp;
• the process of chemotherapy or the presence of cancer;
• A woman is prescribed a course of antibiotics or hormonal drugs.

Every girl wants to have luxurious hair, and most of them stop using Hollywood technology because she has several advantages:

• if we talk about the safety of the procedure, there is absolutely nothing to worry about;
• You can visit the sauna or bath, not worrying that the curls can detach;
• the attachment points of the artificial strands cannot be seen, therefore, the accreted curls look completely natural;
• the process does not take much time.

But the presented method has its drawbacks:

• it is quite expensive;
• you will need to make corrections often to keep it attractive;
• unprofessional execution leads to stratification of the strands;
• Not all types of hairstyles are available, because you can not expose the attachment, it looks unaesthetic.

If you compare with other types of hair extensions, for example, California, the capsular keeps better, the volume is just gorgeous. Only here it is impossible to build up on short hair by this method, since limiting the length of natural hair is the only obstacle. The length of the natural curls should be at least 200 mm, if less, then the joints will become visible.

If girls are afraid that the procedure may harm natural curls, then it is in vain, because the ultrasound machine uses a small temperature that is completely harmless to a person and his hair.

There are two ways of how this technique is implemented: with the help of capsules and braids. Both are not suitable for short hair, since the requirement for the length of natural hair remains unchanged. First, consider the outdated option when using tresses.

Tressions in the professional world are called donor strands, which are attached to natural hair. They need to be selected as similar in color and texture of hair as possible for each client individually. The length can be from 300 mm and up to a meter, it is allowed to add from fifty to three hundred strands in one build, it all depends on what effect the woman wants to achieve.

For thin hair, this method is one of the most acceptable, no capsules are being spoken of, based on tightly braided pigtails at the base of the scalp, tresses and threads to hold them together.

The technology is as follows:

• all hairs that are from the forehead line to the top of the head are tucked away so that they do not interfere;
• then a tuft of hair is separated under the tucked-away hairs and weaves a French braid from ear to ear, and the weaving size should be from 1 centimeter;
• by means of a special thread that undergoes heat treatment, artificial strands are woven into natural curls;
• the end of the thread that remains is simply cut off.

In an improved version of the master uses the capsules, which, in fact, makes the Hollywood building similar in principle to the Italian method, the only difference is that there is no temperature effect, only ultrasound.

The capsules are sealed on the surface, and the device itself selects the desired mode of operation, taking into account not only the structure of the hair, but also their thickness.

The whole procedure is divided into several stages.

• First you need to wash your hair well and dry it.
• Strands stand out gradually from the total mass. To make it easier to work, most professionals prefer to make longitudinal partings.
• For each small strand fix artificial hair capsule. The process uses ultrasonic forceps, while the master must control the exposure time depending on the type of hair.
• The best result in length and volume is achieved after 130 accrued strands.

As they say, beauty requires sacrifice, and this rule applies to hair extensions too. After the procedure one has to face some problems, especially if the woman fell into the hands of an inexperienced master.

Masters do not just give advice - if a woman does not want to face problems in the future, then she should listen to them.

Often, you can observe creases on natural hair. This happens when a curl is pinched too tightly, or because the girl's hair itself is very thin and weak.

When exposed to an ultrasonic device, strands may fall out at first. The whole reason is the lack of sufficient experience with the master or improper hair care, which is very important after the build-up. It is necessary to use special combs, at the ends of which there are no balls.

It is very important that the specialist uses only high-quality materials, and the girl herself did not miss the deadlines for the correction.

There is no exact time when it is necessary to remove the artificial curls, because it depends on how quickly the girl's hair grows. As soon as the roots have grown, the place where the attachment was made becomes clearly visible. But the loss of aesthetic appeal - this is not all, there are difficulties when combing and washing the head. Near the roots, curls begin to be confused, tangles appear, so correction is best carried out no later than three months after extension.

In order not to spoil the joints, a woman will have to abandon the use of masks, oils, hairbrushes with frequent arrangement of teeth. The correction process takes a little longer than the primary build-up, because first you need to remove the capsules with a special compound, and then fix the strands again. On average, it takes up to 4 hours. When using the old technology with braids, weave the braids first, then they wash, dry and braid the braids again, followed by the application of artificial hair.

The capsule is removed with special forceps, the remnants of keratin are simply combed out using a comb.

To make hairstyles, including weave pigtails, you must carefully care for hair extensions. The best comb is a wooden one with a large distance between the teeth. If nodules have formed, it is better to try to unravel them manually first, only then proceed with the washing of the head. Immediately after the procedure, the hair should not be in contact with water for two days, and on the place where the capsule is located, do not use any care products at all.

After removing the artificial curls, it will be necessary to strengthen the roots; masks from oils and other natural components that are designed to stimulate the growth of the bulbs are ideal for this. Shampoos should be gentle, it is desirable to apply balms.

Women who have already taken the opportunity to give more volume and length to hair, argue that proper care can help keep natural hair healthy. Hair dryers, curling irons and ironing should be used as little as possible, because the hair already has an additional load.

The advantage of this extension is that you can dye your hair in a standard mode, but the funds should have a low pH. If you use a concentrated shampoo, then it is better to dilute it with water, so as not to damage the capsules, otherwise the curls may simply fall off.

Wet hair in any case can not be combed or worse twisted. It is correct to comb only after the curls have dried in a natural way, starting from the bottom and gradually moving to the roots.

Women really like that when using this technology there are no restrictions on the length and volume, which means that every girl can become the owner of a chic head of hair. In places of fixation, there is no discomfort, since only a small number of girls get irritated by the Hollywood build-up. Moreover, of the majority of other methods, this is the most gentle for the hair, and therefore the procedure is expensive.
