Kanekalon for short hair: weaving rules
Now it is considered fashionable for young girls to weave colored strands into their hair. They help to make quite interesting hairstyles, giving personality to the image. Such strands are called kanekalon. Read about the features of using this jewelry on short hair, as well as how to weave them into a hairstyle correctly, in the article.
What it is?
Kanekalon is a strand of artificial hair, the quality of which is as close to natural as possible. The material is absolutely harmless to the human body. It is produced from natural algae by drying and special heat treatment. This material should not be confused with completely artificial strands.
The fashion for colored kanekalon came to us from Japan, where anime girls with colored curls are at the peak of popularity. Along with the fashion for Japanese cartoons, the desire of teenagers to weave bright strands into their hairstyles has spread all over the world. Designers slightly "pacified" the overly bright character of this attribute for hair, having come up with many original hairstyles that will suit even girls with short hair.
Most often, you can find kanekalon in bright saturated shades, but you can pick up strands with a natural hair color. In addition, fake curls can be completely straight or with different types of curls. There is also kanekalon, which glows in neon or changes color in the sun.
Advantages and disadvantages
There are several advantages to using kanekalon on short hair.
- With the help of kanekalon, you can lengthen the curls without harming the bulbs, as it happens when building.
- Kanekalon is made of natural material, completely eco-friendly and hypoallergenic.
- The material does not pick up static electricity and does not frizz in the hair.
- With the help of kanekalon, you can change the color and length of the curls at least every day.
However, kanekalon woven into short hair has drawbacks.
- Its quality is visually different from natural hair, even if the color of the strands is well matched to real curls.
- Over time, the kanekalon has to be changed as it fades.
- When wet, it absorbs water strongly and becomes heavy.
- If the braids with the kanekalon are tightly braided, it is quite difficult to extract it from the hairstyle.
How to use?
In order to make a hairstyle on short hair with a bob-type haircut, you will need to prepare:
- wash your hair well with shampoo;
- blot the strands with a towel;
- dry them with a hairdryer.
In no case should you use a balm or conditioner. This will make your curls too soft and stubborn. Then we move on to creating a hairstyle.
Let's make a ponytail. This is a basic hairstyle that can be transformed into several others.
- To do this, cover the curls with wax and pin a high bun.
- We smooth the hair well so that nothing sticks out anywhere.
- We take a large strand of kanekalon and fix it in the middle with an elastic band.
- We put a hairpin on the bun.
- We separate a small curl of the kanekalon and screw it tightly into the place of attachment so that the elastic is not visible.
- We fix it with invisible behind.
Now the ponytail can be easily transformed into a neat volumetric bun or braid.
