Features and methods of hair extensions on the pigtail

Not every girl can boast of long, luxurious hair given by nature. Fortunately, modern technologies allow to achieve impressive results for each woman. To do this, it is enough to contact a specialized salon and build it up. All you need is a few hours of free time and money. The main thing is to choose the right technology for this procedure.

Today we will talk about such a proven way as hair extensions on a pigtail. It is also called the tress build-up, African, Japanese, French and Hollywood build-up. Thanks to this procedure, you can purchase elegant hair without the use of aggressive chemical compounds and hot tongs, which is especially important for those who are afraid of spoiling their hair.

Hair extensions on braids are performed by weaving thin braids at the roots across the back of the head. Then they are sewn tressy - wide ribbons of the hair. Each braid is attached to one such tape. This should be done as close to the root as possible, then the hair will stay in place longer. To adjust the hairstyle, the master washes the client's head, dries and weaves the braids. The main thing is not to braid them in the area where the pigtails were before, otherwise the curls in this place may thin out.

To fix the tress on the pigtail a needle is used. You should not be afraid that the master will inadvertently prick your head: the so-called sailing needle, thick and rounded, is used for sewing. With this design, it enters the hair and does not touch the skin. Sewing is carried out along the entire length of the braid.

With all the simplicity of this method to build on the pigtail you need a specialist from the salon, or at least an assistant who owns this technique. To do this on your own will not work, since the elements are attached, starting from the nape.

Moving higher, the master sews a sufficient amount of tresses, then cuts them to the desired length. Narrow strands usually go to the temporal part of the head, and widest ribbons go to the back of the head.

To create a thick head of hair with a tangled method, it is desirable to have your hair at least 15 cm long, and you can also be shorter, but not less than 7 cm. The result obtained is held for 2-3 months.

As mentioned above, this method is called safe. It does not require heat treatment and various chemicals that spoil the structure of the hair, as well as those that can provoke allergies. In addition, the technology has other positive features.

• Proponents of hair extensions on pigtails point out that thin bases with strands do not cause discomfort to their owners, unlike hair, which are attached by a capsular method.
• If necessary, the tape is easy to remove without damaging them. In this case, you can use tress repeatedly.
• With such curls allowed to go to the beach, in the sauna, solarium, use a hairdryer and curling.You can not be afraid that the glue will lose its properties and the strands will disappear, since it is not used with this technology.
• Pads do not change the length with the correction, and with careful use they can be worn for months and even years.
• This method does not apply to progressive and highly aesthetic, but at the price it is the most acceptable.

Before making a choice in favor of this method of expansion, Some minuses accompanying the procedure should be taken into account.

• The owner of such hair can not afford all the hairstyles. For example, a high tail will open pigtails and make visible attachment points.
• Due to tight weaving pain may be present in the first days. There is an opinion that wearing tight pigtails with sewn tresses is no less harmful than using other methods of hair extensions. Therefore, to call this method the safest hair for health is hardly possible.
• Due to the peculiarities of the hair attachment and the difficulty of combing it with quality, mats can occur.
• Capacity on the pigtail does not allow to combine several shades harmoniously.
• With an average hair growth rate, correction may be required in a month, or even earlier.
• Some people do not like the fact in this method that the hair is not grown with thin strands, but sewn, that it doesn’t look too natural.

To create a lush head of hair with the help of building on the pigtail, you can use different materials. Natural strands are more expensive, but they allow you to achieve a more natural result. Artificial, respectively, more affordable. In addition, synthetic strands can be painted in bright unusual colors and they do not fade when washed. They also keep their shape well, if you decide to initially create corrugated or twisted curls.

The leaders among the tress are European ribbons made of natural hair. India and China do not produce such durable products, but they are cheaper. In addition to the quality of the material, the master level is no less important for obtaining a good result.

They are the same as in other types of hair extensions. It is necessary to refrain from the procedure in the presence of:

• psoriasis, seborrhea and other diseases affecting the scalp;
• tendency to baldness;
• weak, unhealthy hair;
• hormonal imbalance during pregnancy and feeding.

1. Before you wash your hair, you need to comb the curls well. It is better not to throw back the head, but keep it straight. Use your regular shampoo and balm. Not recommended only to wash dry hair, as they contain oil.
2. Carefully wipe the hair with a towel, do not "squeeze" them, twisting the tourniquet.
3. Go to bed only after drying your head.

There is another way that is often mentioned when it comes to braiding with braids. It is done differently: the master divides hair into the smallest strands and draws artificial ringlets towards them at the very roots. This is how this technology, also called Brazilian, looks step by step.

1. All hairs are divided into 4 parts - two on the top and two on the bottom with a thin long comb. On each "tail" put on the clip.
2. The wizard begins to work with one of the halves of the occipital region, pulling out one strand of 5 mm. He puts on her double-folded artificial strand and wraps it around her.
3. After this, the usual thin braid of 8 mm is braided.
4. The master creates a knot from the patch strand and secures a micro-pigtail to them, or uses a special thread.

The name of this method was due to the Brazilian women who adorned themselves to the traditional carnival, weaving colored ribbons or hair into their hair. Now it has been adopted by masters from all over the world, and all wishing girls can try the Brazilian technology on themselves. It allows you to change the length and thickness of the hair, or simply decorate yourself for the holiday, adding bright accents to your image with the help of unusual multicolored strands.
