Modern beauties in magazines, on TV and in social networks continually amaze fans with their shiny, well-groomed hair. Recently, this trend does not go out of fashion - everyone wants to grow curls longer. True, this is not a quick deal and not everyone has the patience to wait until they grow to the waist or at least to the shoulder blades. Fortunately, modern technology offers fashionable women many options for building strands, even of the most extreme length. There are budget and expensive ways to build, they also differ in the principle of fastening strands and materials.
A good master, before advising any way, will try to take into account the structure and density of the hair.
Indications
The extension procedure is recommended in the following cases:
- their hair does not have enough volume and strength - rare strands will turn into a luxurious head of hair;
- the desire to change the image, but constant experiments with hair do not give the opportunity to grow them to the desired length;
- If you want long hair of a different color, for example, fair hair, but it is a pity to spoil yours.
Contraindications
You should not resort to such technologies, if the state of the scalp is currently not in order, namely:
- the presence of dandruff, psoriasis and other violations of the integrity of the scalp;
- allergic to glue and other compounds used in the process;
- hormonal changes that occur in some women during pregnancy and after it, when the hair changes its structure;
- too damaged condition of their hair.
Features
Hair extensions are a rather expensive procedure. If you do not have a large amount, the cold method is most likely suitable. But the price of a hot capsular can reach 10 thousand rubles or more, depending on the thickness and length of the hair. In addition, after the guaranteed period of the socks will need a correction. It is desirable to have your hair length not less than 10 cm, otherwise the attached curls will look unnatural.
Natural strands look better and more pleasant to the touch. They are easier to “mask” in natural curls and fit better. Plus synthetic hair is in their price. They are much cheaper than donors and better preserve the appearance in bad weather. With frequent use of curling or ironing, as well as with an active visit to the beach, it is better to choose a capsular build-up than cold ribbons. It is better preserved by thermal exposure. Tapes are good when you just want to change the hairstyle - you can remove them at any time.
Important! In the presence of very oily scalp and hair, these strands may stay worse.
If you want to facilitate hair care and minimize the selection of expensive products, the color of the strands you need to choose the closest to the color of your roots. Thus, a more natural hair will last longer without damage to the wallet. Talk about the harmlessness of hair extensions can not, but you can choose the least traumatic methods of their attachment. And also it is necessary to choose an experienced master with sufficient experience, the presence of a portfolio and good reviews.
An incompetent specialist may not do the work accurately enough to allow the formation of tangles, and after some unfortunate masters, the hair may even begin to fall out along with the extensions.
Hair features matter when choosing a technique.In the presence of a mild degree of dandruff, you can still resort to hair extensions, but keep in mind that it can increase. In this case, it is better to abandon the methods with capsules when they are planted very close to the scalp. For thin hair, microcapsule, ultrasound extensions are recommended as the least weighting strands.
Ways
Turning to the salon, each client wants to choose the most harmless way to build for her native hair, or at least the one that will bring her the least harm. It is not so easy to select some technology, because progress does not stand still and methods of hair extension, too. According to experts in the beauty industry, today such methods include capsular, tape and bio-hair styling.
Capsular
Capsule or Italian extension refers to hot methods. Donor hair is attached to its own due to keratin capsules and special forceps. Some experts call this method safe, others point out that hot buildup in any case is harmful, since forceps are used to carry it out. Nevertheless, fans of this method a lot, because such hair is comfortable to wear, because it does not create discomfort for their owner.
In this case, the procedure itself lasts about three hours, and the curls stay for a rather long time - up to 5 months. High aesthetic characteristics of the hair received made this technology very popular. They are unobtrusive on the head, as the strands are taken small and in large quantities - up to 120 pieces. Fastening occurs due to molten keratin capsules.
Tape
This method is also considered safe and allowed even during pregnancy. During this procedure, the hair is injured least of all, and the lack of exposure to high temperatures makes it completely harmless to your curls. Strands are attached by a special adhesive tape, which makes it possible to remove them at any time, without the help of a master. The attachment time takes less time, the price is lower than that of the caps, but the period of hair wears is only two months.
If you want to bring them as long as possible, then you have to handle them quite carefully, and limit the choice of hairstyles due to the nature of the hair fastening.
Biodiversity
The hair attaches to the biota or mono-biota. The technology has emerged as an alternative to the usual methods using heat and chemical compounds that are not beneficial for the scalp and hair. In order to grow strands without harm, biogel is used.
While this method is not as widely used as the usual tape and capsular building, but the interest in it among the masters is growing. According to technology developers, its advantage is not only in harmless materials, but also in the absence of discomfort when touching the head. The head of hair is provided with the most natural look without harm to health.
Other
There are some ways of building that are considered less popular and safe, like:
- english - keratin for attaching strands melted with a gun;
- German or Bellargo - strands are attached with sleeves;
- Japanese - build-up on the "pigtail";
- spanish - glue is chosen according to the color of the roots, which makes the joints of the strands imperceptible;
- ultrasound - This technology uses polymers that resemble the structure of the hair.
Gorgeous long hair is a symbol of femininity and beauty. With the help of modern technology, every girl can get them, you just need to choose the right technology and not save on a good master.
