Pros and cons of hair extensions

In today's world there are many women who are dissatisfied with the length or quality of their hair, and many of them resort to such a well-known procedure such as hair extensions.

What is the extension, and whether to carry out this procedure - this will be discussed further.

Hair extensions allow in the shortest possible time to grow hair to the desired length and make them somewhat larger. In other words, it is the fixation of artificial or donated hair, that is, donor hair.

Fix strands, usually in the root zone, but you can perform this work in different ways. Some methods are so simple that you can make the build-up even at home and without the help of specialists. However, about once every two to three months of work should be repeated, as the roots grow, and the hair itself should be fixed a little closer to the roots.

There are only two types of hair extensions.

• Artificial. Such material was created by artificial means and wears out extremely quickly.
• Donor Such hair is real - as a rule, the girls themselves donate it, caring for them as thoroughly as possible. Renting this material, you can get a lot of money.

The main methods of building are several options.

• Capsular. This method also has another name - Italian capacity. At the moment, it is considered the most popular and painless. It is a keratin capsule fixation.
• English technology. This technology involves the use of a special pistol that heats keratin.
• Bellargo. This is a kind of hot build. Here the strands are fixed with a special device on small sleeves. It is considered the most painful and unpleasant way.
• Tape building. This method is cold and an adhesive solution is used for its implementation.

This procedure has many advantages and disadvantages, which should be known long before the hair is subjected to this work.

The advantages include a number of factors.

• Long hair for a very short time. The most obvious advantage of this procedure lies precisely in this - to get a long hair, it does not need to grow for months or even years. In just three to four hours, the length will change, and the problem of small sizes will disappear.
• It has a much better look than wigs. Indeed, a wig, worn over the head, looks extremely unnatural and sometimes even absurd. Hair extensions (especially if they are not artificial) have a completely natural and sophisticated look.
• When re-transplanting hair can be used more than once. A great convenience is also provided by the fact that by choosing high-quality and reliable material, it is able to serve for quite a long time - a year, or even more.
• The almost complete absence of pain and discomfort. Sitting at a real professional, the client will not feel discomfort - the procedure is generally painless.

• This process will be an excellent solution if the client has baldness or weak hair.
• A huge number of affordable and fashionable hairstyles.It’s not always possible to make beautiful hairstyles on a head with short hair, but with a long head of hair it is all somewhat simpler - as a rule, most hairstyles are designed for exactly that length of hair.
• Such hair can be easily dyed in different colors or even discolored, which is also a huge plus.
• Using ironing and other tools is permissible.
• You can safely visit the baths, saunas, solariums or swimming pools, without fear that the hair will fall off or deteriorate.

Despite the huge number of advantages, there are also disadvantages.

• Not all extension methods leave a pleasant sensation. When carrying out this procedure, an inexperienced master remains extremely unpleasant and sometimes even painful sensations that do not leave the surface of the head even during sleep.
• In addition to the previous item, an inexperienced master can also burn the roots of the hair. The consequences of such work will have to clean up for a long time.
• The weight of the head. Owners of short haircuts may experience a little heaviness, because you should get used to the weight of new hair. Such a defect passes fairly quickly, but at first it is, indeed, unusual and inconvenient.
• The need to abandon the "tails" and other tight hairstyles. This is due to the fact that when assembling hair upward, capsules become visible, and this is not quite beautiful.
• There is a risk that old or even attached hair will start to fall out.
• In those places where new hair was fixed, creases are often formed.

• In windy weather, capsules or other attachment items are carried onto the upper layer of hair, which creates a not too aesthetic look.
• The need to carry out the correction at least once every two to three months. This factor is mandatory and does not depend on the chosen method of extension.
• Pretty high price. Hair extensions - the procedure is not cheap, and not everyone can afford it.
• Long time holding. As mentioned earlier, such work takes at least three or even four hours. Not everyone is able to sit such a huge amount of time.
• Handling capsules and attachment points requires increased care and attention.
• Quite often, new hair begins to be confused and collected in separate tufts, so combing them is necessary as often as possible.
• Noticeable deterioration of hair. After the extension of the hair often get unhealthy appearance and deteriorate.

Studying all the pros and cons before carrying out hair extensions is not the only thing that should be done. In addition to these nuances, you should also pay attention to possible contraindications that can cancel the upcoming session.

Contraindications include several points.

• The length is at least five centimeters. This item is of great importance, because it will be simply impossible to attach new ones to hair of a smaller length. Women with such a length should wait a little.
• It is not recommended to fasten new curls to old ones that have breakage, weakness or other damage. Such hair after the procedure will look just awful, which is why they must first be cured with vitamins or vitamin complexes.
• You can not hold the building during pregnancy, as well as at a young age of sixteen years. The refusal in both cases is connected with the fact that in the female body during these periods there is a restructuring and an increase in the hormonal level. These factors can further ruin the hair.
• Another very good contraindication is absolutely any disease of the head, be it eczema or psoriasis. In the case of fungal diseases, building up is also impossible.

• You should not build up and while taking any antibiotics or hormonal drugs, as well as in the presence of chemotherapy.
• Strangely enough, but it is necessary to abandon the attachment of new hair even in the presence of vegetovascular dystonia, migraines and too frequent headaches. This is explained by the fact that hair extensions create a strong pressure, and this, in turn, increases headaches.
• If you are allergic to anything, it is strongly recommended to test for the presence of allergic reactions to those components that will be used directly during the build-up process itself.
• If the hair is subject to abundant hair loss, then this procedure will not be able to help them with anything, on the contrary, it will aggravate the situation.
• If there are abrasions, cuts, scratches and other injuries on the scalp, it is best to wait and wait until the injuries heal completely, otherwise the build-up process will cause a lot of pain.

In general, this issue should be resolved by the client himself, because everyone can have their own contraindications or other reasons. However, most people still turn a blind eye to the above disadvantages, and receive a number of side effects and negative influences.

Many people are satisfied after the procedure, because the hair is now long and elegant, and all the hairstyles in an instant became available. It is necessary to resolve this issue yourself, having studied your contraindications and realizing that the procedure can go wrong and permanently ruin your hair.

Capacity has many of its pros and cons, and that is why it should be approached responsibly, having studied all the nuances and realized whether you need it. After all, healthy hair can grow back - you just have to wait, but damaged ones are already doomed, as a rule, they cannot be saved.
