Color curls choose identical to the main, so that the difference was invisible.
This procedure has contraindications. These include hairline disorders associated with diseases of the scalp. If the hair is prone to oily seborrhea in need of treatment, or, conversely, especially brittle and fragile. Obviously, with abundant loss instead of the procedure of building it is necessary to strengthen the roots and improve the scalp. Cosmetic procedures will have to leave for later.
As a rule, the situation with noticeable hair loss is observed with endocrine disorders, it is also possible with regular use of hormonal drugs. Hair "does not like" when the body has a lot of antibiotics and active chemicals. From this they deteriorate and become dull and brittle. It is not shown to build up strands when the vascular and nervous system suffers, VSD or hypertension are diagnosed, migraines are frequent.
For pregnant women, building up is not completely prohibited, but if necessary, expectant mothers will use the most benign methods. Although doctors tend to think that it is better to wait for the moment of birth of the child. The same applies to girls under the age of 18 years. Female hormonal adjustment of the body is the time when it is better not to experiment with the appearance, preferring the elegant hairstyles of natural hair. Complicated operations to create intricate hairstyles and frequent change of image more to the face of fashionable lady from the age group of 25+.
There is such a moment as the aesthetic rejection of other people's hair on their head. The idea that the hair belonged to another woman can nullify all efforts to decorate hair.

A theme that may be of interest and deserves attention sounds differently - why do some hairs serve more reliably and longer than others.

Have an attractive appearance, soft and shiny. Many women like South Russian hair of natural shades.
Produced in Europe also earned a lot of positive feedback. They are obtained as a by-product after the manufacture of Slavic strands and are used predominantly once. Asian is subjected to all methods of exposure - a cardinal staining and discoloration, however, their quality is lower, the hairs are thinner and often confused. The material obtained in China and Vietnam is consumed actively in the production of dummies. Often used by craftsmen when learning to build.
Artificial hair also has its advantages.The fibers are practically not torn, it is difficult to damage them mechanically.
How to choose a method?
There are several extension methods, which one is better, it is up to you to decide, it depends on many factors - price and complexity, for how long you need to increase the length and volume. The operation is expensive, the correction will need to be carried out every 4-6 months, raising the place of consolidation higher due to the natural regrowth of the roots.
Usually in the beauty salon use a variety of ways.
- Hot "sticking". A common method that requires a heated resin or glue, gel or capsules. The method is considered unsafe for the hair structure and may cause premature loss. The substance is melted by hot tongs, connecting the pad with its own head of hair.
- Capacity ribbons. They are called tressami. In each sewed hairs of a certain length. Stripes can be sewn with thread. Duct tape also firmly connects your own and donor hair. The design keeps from one to two months.
- Fastening metal strands with beads - Japanese technology. The rings are made of metal-ceramic, with compression, the effect of connecting the hair to each other is achieved. The disadvantage of this method is that when removing the little ringlets, the native curls are often damaged.
- With the help of lining of the hair, fixed with hairpins. Simple method that does not guarantee long-term use.
- Hypoallergenic glue - the so-called Spanish method. At the same time, it is only possible to find a junction by touch. The number of added pryadok reaches 200-230 pieces. Pressing and flattened adhesive capsules after drying, acquire a whitish hue. Therefore, well-proven for blondes, girls with dark hair, this method is not suitable.
