• This extension is not recommended for young ladies with unhealthy and weak hair. If you neglect this contraindication, then you can cause them even greater harm.
• It is impossible to carry out the specified procedure for skin diseases. For example, it can be a fungus, seborrhea, psoriasis, as well as scratches or fresh wounds.

• If you suffer from frequent and severe headaches, migraines, or undergo a course of chemotherapy, then this type of extension is also better to refuse.

It is very important to use high-quality and suitable materials for proper capsular buildup and achieving a perfect result. So, donor strands in color must necessarily coincide with "native" hair. This also applies to their immediate structure. Otherwise, the hairstyle will look incomprehensible and immediately show its unnatural.

Skilled masters do not advise to add the length of hair twice the natural one. The best options will be with parameters of 40-50 cm. Visually, such hair will not go down below the belt line. It will be much more convenient and easier to care for curls of such length, but outwardly they will look very natural.

• Mainly for the average length and thickness add about 130 Slavic strands.
• For a thicker hairstyle, it is desirable to take about 180 strands. If you take more, you can simply damage your hair with the excessive weight of donor curls.
• For short, it is desirable to take no more than 150 strands.
• To make the hairstyle just seem more voluminous, it is best to attach not more than 75 strands.
• To increase the length of 40 cm, you will need from 80 to 120 strands.

For building use curls of the following valid types.

• Slavic. Such curls are chosen to work in most cases. Usually they are not subjected to staining, chemical treatment. The structure of such hair also does not change. They are harvested by simple washing, dispensing, disinfecting and combing. Such manipulations do no harm to the strands, do not violate their natural color.

• South Russian. Such strands are chosen because they are among the best in the price-performance ratio. When preparing such hair is subjected to coloring. As a rule, South Russian curls retain an attractive and natural color for a long time.

• European. Hair of the specified type is subjected to chemical treatment several times. That is why their correction is inexpedient. Harvesting of similar curls occurs in Europe.

• Asian These are the cheapest types of donor curls. Usually their length does not exceed 60 cm. Girls who resort to building for the first time resort to such hair. It should be borne in mind that tails of this type must be chosen on the basis of the growth of scales. The natural shine of the strands will last up to 5 hair washing procedures.After that, the silicone will be “left” from the surface of the curls, with which they are pre-treated.

The number of capsules will directly depend on the length of the hair:

• if the haircut is short and does not reach 10 cm, then about 140-200 capsules will be required to fix the strands (it all depends on the thickness of the hair);
• on condition of medium length (about 25 cm), 180-200 capsules will be used;
• with its length of 48-50 cm will need from 70 to 120 capsules.

There are several types of capsular extension. Different procedures have their own characteristics and key points that need to be taken into account. Let us consider in more detail what types of such extensions exist and what are the features of their implementation.

Building of this type is rightfully recognized as one of the most stable and popular. With this technique, keratin capsules are used, in which individual strands are glued. The main feature of such a popular procedure is that it can be safely used for short strands. Fastening donor hair is carried out directly on the roots. Next, the master solders the curls, floating in the course of specialized equipment, similar to the curling. After completing such a procedure, you can go home.

These types of extensions differ in the size of the capsules themselves, as well as in the thickness of donor strands. The main feature of this technique is that it is often used to eliminate bald patches in men. Microcapsules or nanocapsules make it possible to make the hair more thick. In this case, serious harm to natural hair will not be applied, which indicates the safety of the procedure.

Hot English build-up in many of its characteristics is similar to Italian, but here such a component as a resin acts as a sticky base. This type of extension is considered to be safer and more harmless than the Italian one, because not the highest temperature is necessary for heating and melting the resin than for heating keratin. Moreover, in the course of freezing keratin can take different forms. For example, sharp corners can greatly interfere with the owner of the accrued strands. Resin is a softer material, so it will not be unpleasant to prick.

Otherwise, the cold buildup of this type is called Hollywood or Spanish. Differs in the most safe technology, in which the use of capsules is not provided. Donor curls are glued to each other, using a special adhesive composition. After that, they are glued on their own hair with the same composition. In this way, never used with the design of short and dark hair. This is due to the fact that on the dark tint of the hairs the adhesive layer immediately shows itself and becomes very noticeable.

There is also a special ultrasonic hair extensions. It also harms the natural curls to a minimum. With this technique, the capsule is heated and gently softened with the help of appropriate temperature and ultrasound pulses. With such a build-up, it is permissible to use almost any strands, from Slavic to Asian. The uniqueness of this method lies in the fact that curls fasten 1 cm below the roots.

Many girls who have never applied for a capsular extension service are often interested in how long the donor curls will last if the procedure is carried out according to all the rules. According to most experts, the procedure will have to go at least once every 3 months. In the course of hair regrowth, you will need to come to the correction, since it is necessary to re-encapsulate, you can not neglect these procedures in any case.

If you decide to turn to capsular buildup, then you definitely need to consider what problems and consequences may arise after that. Let's get acquainted with their list.

• Often ladies are faced with slipping capsules. If only a few pieces crawl, then it's not scary. If they descend in large numbers, this indicates that the capacity technology has been broken. One can not face such a problem only if we turn to a truly experienced and qualified master. Also, these consequences can lead to improper hair care. It is not allowed to place cosmetics on the attachment points, as well as to influence them at considerable temperatures. It is advisable to abandon shampoos and balms containing acids or silicone.
• The capsules themselves may be too big and caustic. This problem also indicates the inexperience of the master.

• Often accrued strands are confused. To avoid this, they should be more often and carefully combed using specialized cosmetic compositions. A little experience of the master and the use of not the highest quality materials can lead to confusion.
• Pandas may be formed. If the hair falls out in small quantities, then there is nothing to worry about. In the case of capsular extension, fallen hair is placed in the capsules themselves. Over time, they inevitably become confused, because of which there are mats. In order not to face such unpleasant consequences, we must not forget to scratch the accrued strands and at the right moment to go for a correction.
• Areas with fixed elements may be more noticeable. Most often, unsuccessful extensions result in such consequences. The more experienced the master, the less such places will attract attention.

Also, based on the type of specific technology such effects can occur.

• With English technology, strands often stick together due to the use of low-grade resin. You should use the products of a famous brand.
• When the Spanish technique in the process of removal can be damaged natural curls. This is due to improper care, not the time of the correction, the wrong procedure.
• In the case of an ultrasonic extension, the strands may get damaged and then start falling out. Many girls are faced with the fact that strands inevitably climb and made very thin. All the fault may also not be the most experienced master or the wrong care. It is recommended to use a special comb that does not have smooth balls at the tips.
• With the technique of cold buildup in the course of removal on their own strands can form creases. This is due to an incorrectly performed procedure, when the rings are clamped too tightly. It is advisable to refer to the use of special silicone rings with special liners. They will avoid injury to the hair.

Whether it is possible to dye hair that is extended in a capsule way is another common question for girls who have applied to such a popular procedure. Of course, you can paint strands in this case. However, experts advise resorting to applying a paint of a darker color or gently change the existing shade. Lighten hair extensions are not recommended.

For extended curls need to properly care. Consider what you need to consider when doing this.

• When washing the head it is desirable to use a shower.Do not tilt your head down, otherwise the fasteners moving forward can become tangled and even deform.
• Apply shampoo exclusively to the scalp, not to the hair. Massage the roots, not the length.
• Balms and masks should be applied along the entire length. You need to moisturize hair extensions, as well as natural, otherwise they will differ from each other in appearance.
• Do not use care products that contain alcohol, otherwise the capsules will soften.
• Buy a comb with rare teeth, so that the adhesions could pass between them without hindrance.

• Combing attached strands only in the tail, starting from the tips and moving to the roots.
• Be careful with curling hair or a hairdryer. Spikes should not overheat.
• Before you go to sleep, collect strands or braid pigtail.
• Do not go to bed with wet hair. Be sure to dry them after bathing.
• After completing the 3 correction, give your hair a rest. Conduct oil recovery procedures.
