The capsule is attached to an artificial strand, which is then attached to the client's hair.

The junction is inconspicuous, the bunches are held tight, while not preventing the growth of natural hair. High-quality material becomes transparent and inconspicuous, cheaper, which after hardening acquires a whitish hue, suitable only for blondes.

Apply hair of two types of origin: Slavic, having a thin and silky structure and Asian, which are more rigid.

Building up keeps, depending on the quality of the connection, from 3 to 6 months, after which correction needed hair. The advantage of the gel is that the artificial strands can be reused.

Types of hair extensions:

microcapsule capacity hair. The method is suitable for short order. Small keratin capsules are attached to natural hairs with the help of special hot forceps,

spanish build up. Additional strands are attached using a special glue and special fixative. The advantage is that the adhesions are minimized, it is quite difficult to notice the joints,
ultrasound extension. The method resembles Italian technology. The difference is in the method of attachment of donor strands. Capsules are melted not by high temperature, but by ultrasound. For this reason, the method is of the cold type,
build-up on tresses. The popular technique has changed since its inception. Now accrued strands are not fastened with velcro. The basis is braids, to which donor strands are sewn. This method has another name - Hollywood hair extensions. Many consider this technology an African buildup due to the weaving of braids.

Advantages and disadvantages

On the one hand, to come to the salon with a short haircut, and in two hours to leave with Hollywood curls is a tempting prospect. On the other hand, exposure to high temperatures, the use of chemical compounds causes concern.

There is no perfect hairdressing technology. To minimize the negative impact can be the selection of the most gentle method.

Positive sides:

A modern method of lengthening strands will help correct defects after an unsuccessful short cut. If the situation is so deplorable that, apart from the ultra-short pixie, there are no options for correcting errors, you will have to build it up.

Disadvantages:

Using the hot method severely injures the hairs. The use of chemical compounds, special glue also is detrimental to the health of the hair shafts,
requires constant correction of regrown areas. Depending on the technology, you will have to fix your hair in two weeks - a month or more,
extended curls worsen the structure of their own strands: fragility, dryness,

when removing strands of hair injured no less. Ingoda requires a short haircut,
Many types of technology are taboo on selected hair. When creating a simple ponytail hairstyle, the clips are clearly visible,
The use of metal clips can be a nuisance. It takes time to get used to the presence of a foreign body on the hair,
sometimes itchy head, it is uncomfortable to sleep and comb the strands. Some girls complain of dandruff,
the closer the period of correction, the more noticeable the border between the own and donor hairs. The hair is divided into separate strands.

Technique in the salon for hair of different lengths

Each method has its own characteristics. The master is obliged to tell the client about the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Depending on the method of extension, the hairdresser uses special materials and tools:

keratin capsules
synthetic glue
tapes with extended strands,
heat gun,
ultrasonic forceps,
wax, keratin, resin,
metal beads,

Is it possible to do at home

Can I do hair extensions at home? Excellent results will be only when visiting the salon. Build up strands is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. We need a skillful hand of the master, because many cases of frustration, damage to hairs happen precisely because of the low qualification of the hairdresser.

Arguments "against" the independent conduct of the procedure:

on its head, without access to all zones, it is impossible to comply with the technology,
if you add a few strands closer to the temples still somehow work out, then it is very difficult to sew a tape with strands or attach metal rings,
for processing strands need special hairdressing tools, often of high cost. In some cases, a stove is required for heating,
Only the master can choose the right method for a particular person, given the type of hair.

2. Neat combing

After water procedures, gently blot the strands with a towel so that excess moisture is absorbed and try not to comb your hair when wet, in order to prevent brittle hair later on,
Comb the hair very carefully with a special comb, starting from the tips and holding the strands at the roots. To prevent hair from tangling, perform this procedure at least 3 times a day,
Well comb the strands in the root zone,
Remember that wet hair is extremely vulnerable. Wait until the strands dry out a bit, and then gently dry them with a hairdryer.

3. Drying and styling

Extensive hair is better to dry naturally.
If the hair is extended using hot technology, dry your head at low temperatures, do not hold the hair dryer close to the capsules, but if you already use warm air, try not to direct it to the roots,
Hair can be left slightly wet, but be sure to dry the roots to the end,
Hair styling products should be selected with pH 5.5 and without harmful additives,
If you need to make a complex installation, it is better to contact the master,
To minimize the harmful effects on hair, use heat protection agents
When doing hair, avoid tight weaving.

Additional care for hair extensions

Each building technology has its own characteristics and subtleties of care: the master will tell you about them. Feel free to ask questions. Care for hair extensions uncomplicated, but to avoid annoying mistakes, you need detailed instructions regarding care. If you do everything right, the beauty and well-groomed appearance of hair extensions can be maintained for many months.
