Ultrasound hair extensions: features, differences and performance
Today, any woman who decides to grow hair can solve this problem as safely as possible with the help of an ultrasound procedure.
What it is
Ultrasound hair extensions are a combination of a cold and capsular procedure. The essence of the procedure lies in the fact that a special apparatus, which is based on forceps, melts capsules with ultrasound. Hair lengthening occurs using natural strands, which can then be dyed and curled. Since laser buildup involves laser softening of keratin capsules, there is no need to use unnecessarily high temperatures.
The substance contained in the capsules is used to attach additional hair to their own hair, as well as to provide maximum protection for the hair.
Due to the fact that the effect of ultrasound is directed only to the junction points, the attachments are almost imperceptible.
The substance is a synthetic keratin from fibers, the composition of which almost completely coincides with the composition of natural hair. With its use it is possible to increase the length of hair up to 60 centimeters. Ultrasound extensions appeared relatively recently - in 2006, and before that, girls could choose either the capsular or tape method. However, in the first case, the hair structure was quite destroyed, and the second method was not suitable for short or thin hair.
The ultrasonic technique is considered to be absolutely safe and non-traumatic hair.
The cost of the procedure is a combination of several components: how much the material itself costs, how much it is used, how highly qualified the specialist is, and in which region the build-up takes place. The maximum price can be 100 thousand rubles. Since this procedure is expensive, it is important to select a proven specialist who is responsible for the quality result.
Advantages and disadvantages
We should start with the fact that no harm ultrasound capacity does not carry. It is carried out very quickly - in a couple of hours everything will be ready, although sometimes this period may increase to 4 hours. The hair is extended with the help of natural strands, creating a harmonious final picture. The capsules themselves will not be felt among the curls and create any inconvenience to the hostess. Additional strands are imperceptible, since they do not differ at all from “native” hair, and will not break down ahead of time.
The hostess of hair extensions can easily visit the baths and pools, swim in the sea and experiment with hairstyles.
It is important to mention that the procedure is permitted even for girls with a ten-centimeter haircut.
If we talk about the shortcomings, then you should start with the high cost of the procedure, for which you will have to pay at least 15 thousand rubles. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the starting price is 20 thousand rubles. In addition, the mandatory correction takes a lot of time, and many care products are banned - oils, sprays, balms and other products can simply soften the capsules, and the hairs, in turn, will disappear.
For some, it may be inconvenient the fact that the additional volume of a laser can be increased only on healthy hair. It is important to mention that ultrasound buildup is contraindicated for a certain group of people.
The procedure is prohibited for diseases of the scalp, active hairfall, as well as hormonal disorders.
In addition, one should refrain from building up during the recovery period after severe stress of the body, for example, illness or childbirth, as well as exacerbation of chronic diseases.
Another thing to add is that the period of wearing keratin on hair without consequences is only half a year.
Then the artificial strands should be removed, and the hair should be allowed to rest, while carrying out the strengthening procedures. In order to improve the health of the hair during the "rest" of the hair, it is desirable to apply nourishing masks, rinse the hair after washing with herbal infusions.
Features of the procedure
To build up a specialist, it will take an average of 120 high-quality orders — European or Russian. These should be real curls, which are treated with a special agent, and after that they are soaked in water for 30 days. After processing, the hairs will be completely transparent after the loss of pigment, and they can be painted in the desired shade. Painting is carried out by a dye intended for cashmere, the pigment of which comes under the scales. At the final stage, they are held together by keratin.
The immediate process begins with the fact that the barber creates several horizontal partitions, distributing all the hair into strands. All false hairs are attached at a distance of 1 centimeter from the roots. The ultrasonic device acts on the capsule and thereby “glues” its hair and other people. By the way, the round capsule will have to be formed independently, while the forceps themselves create a flat one.
The maximum hair length with additional strands can be 1 meter. They can be painted in any desired shades.
Technical process
Before the procedure, the master brings in the ultrasound machine important information regarding the structure of the hair of the person who will be building up. This is usually the thickness and type of hair. Based on the data obtained, ultrasonic waves are formed, and it is also determined how long the procedure will be carried out and with what power.
If the hair length is too short and does not reach the required 6 centimeters, then With the help of the same ultrasound, microlining can be done.. In this case, the thickness of the donor strand is 2 times less, and the duration of the whole process reaches 4 hours.
Care for hair extensions
Special care for hair whose length is increased with a laser is not required. It is enough just to wash your head in an upright position with a shampoo suitable for a specific type of hair approximately once every two or three days. However, the comb should be of high quality and made from natural materials. Special attention should be paid to the quality of the bristles. An alternative would be the usual comb, but with rare teeth necessarily without balls.
Combing hair, the first thing to do is to work the hair over the entire length, and then pay special attention to the roots. Before bedtime, it is important to dry the curls and, if possible, braid them in braids. If the desire or the need to use any masks or balms is still present, then they should be applied along the entire length, but avoiding the root zone. However, it should be only drugs designed for this health purpose.
Correction
Once in 2 or 3 months, it is important to undergo the procedure of correction, since the natural hair still grows. Correction is as follows: artificial strands are carefully removed and moved closer to the roots. There is a softening of the capsules with a special solution, thanks to which their own and donor hairs break up.
Following keratin is applied to the additional strands, and a new build-up is carried out. Although the procedure takes considerable time, it is necessary.It is important to mention that it is recommended to carry out it only from the master who initially conducted the extension.
Reviews
Hair extensions using ultrasound collects only positive opinions. Most women say that the additional volume is immediately noticeable, and the new curls look completely natural and even “elegant”, not standing out among the total mass of hair. Some clients, however, note that keratin capsules are felt for about the first week, but then this side effect disappears.
Capsules are absolutely not noticeable to others, and they will only get a little grope at the junctions.
A small drawback of the procedure can be called the fact that not every master copes with it.
The girls also note that the period of wearing the extended hair without correction can reach three months. There is a point of view that if you attach a large number of strands, then keratin can adversely affect natural hair, and after removing the strands, the picture will be depressing. However, this is rather an exception to the rules, which largely depends on the skill of the specialist who performed the task.
