Beautiful hairstyles with kanekalon

Outside the window the wind is howling, underfoot there is either snow, or dirty porridge, and someone has snowy mountains or storm clouds. And so I want to decorate this dullness. Let's start with the kanekalon hairstyle. We offer you 25 ideas for simple and complex hairstyles.

The Kaneka Corporation (株式会社 カ ネ カ) is a Japanese multinational corporation that began producing synthetic fibers such as nylon in the 1960s. Over time, acrylic fiber was named kanekalon. There are two types of kanekalon: natural from seaweed and artificial - modacrylic fibers. At the same time, there are goods in the shops, the description of which says "artificial hair with an extract from algae." The higher the algae percentage, the more natural the hairstyles look.

The naturalness of the hairstyle also depends on the color of the curls: you can choose strands to match your own hair or use a real color explosion. Brunettes can turn blonde for a few hours, days or months and vice versa.

If you want to get the most natural hairstyle, then before buying you need to examine the curls close up, touch, check the label on which the composition of the fibers should be indicated. This will determine not only the appearance, but also the way of caring for the hairstyle, as well as the safety of using the product.

Kanekalon differs in the way of curling:

• corrugation (twisted strand);
• zizi (ready-made braid woven into the hairstyle);
• catherine twist (a strand twisted into a spring);
• curly (formed loose curls);
• ponies (twisted strands with curls at the ends);
• curls (dense curly strands);
• Senegalese braids (two strands that were twisted in the form of bundles, for example, to the right, and then twisted together to the left).

Braids (braids) also differ in weaving methods:

• colored braids can be of the same contrasting color in relation to your hair or be of several colors;
• Afro-braids in an amount of up to 400 pieces using one or more colors;
• French braids in the amount of two to four pieces, straight or in a circle;
• a variety of spikelets: "fishtail", dragons, French to one side, boxing, around the head, zigzag, double, two spikelets (this is a classic of weaving);
• dreadlocks are woven not only with kanekalon, but also with the use of woolen threads (this is in the event that you do not want to shave bald after when completely natural dreadlocks are bored).

Hairstyles using kanekalon can be done without braids:

• due to color and slight negligence, the cheeks can become a beautiful chignon;
• a bundle braided using natural or multi-colored fibers;
• colored ribbons can be woven into the flagella and thus make chic New Year's hairstyles;
• Afro-curls are performed in both one and two colors using the ombre technique for long hair, very suitable for girls with dark skin;
• the tail can be made independently from long hair, placing it high or low, on the side of the temple or on the neck, while the hair can be smooth or curled (curls, curly, ponies).

Boxer braids (boxer braids, a common name for hairstyles with kanekalon) are becoming more diverse due to the material used. If earlier it was only about plain or multi-colored fibers, now artificial hair has appeared with a chameleon effect (when exposed to sunlight, it changes color) or a fluorescence effect (a great option for a club, an evening city or a night beach). Hairstyles in soothing shades can be improved with ribbons, hairpins, and other accessories. They will decorate the head and strengthen the hair.

The material will be versatile if it is of high quality. Determining the quality is quite simple: you need to scald a new strand with boiling water. If the fiber has become very similar to natural wet hair, then this is a real kanekalon 100%. Modacrylic fibers are heavier, you cannot fix them with boiling water, you cannot curl them into curls. But almost all types of ready-made corrugation, zizi, ponies, curls are synthetics, which it is useless to test with boiling water.

Thus, the advantages of kanekalon and hairstyles with it can be called:

• the ability to increase the volume, length of hair and diversify hairstyles;
• the ability to create a festive mood due to the bright variety of materials;
• hypoallergenic and safe natural fiber;
• antistatic properties;
• the ability to create a new image without drastic changes to your own hair.

Minuses:

• significant weight when artificial fibers get wet;
• it is difficult to find a 100% close shade to your hair;
• to fix it, you need to braid the kanekalon very tightly into a braid, this will injure the hair follicles;
• the fibers fade rather quickly;
• not suitable for people with weakened hair;
• in the first 2-3 days, the head may itch a lot due to the fact that the hairstyle is very tight.

There is a fundamental difference in the created hairstyles and the materials used:

• the hairstyle is created in such a way that the false hairpiece can be removed at any moment;
• the hairstyle is created for several months.

In the first case, hairpins, clips, capsules are used. So, you need to unfasten them, disconnect them. The second case - weaving - is more complicated and longer. African braids in the amount of 120-400 pieces are weaved in two hands in a period of 10 to 24 hours, in four hands - in 8-12 hours. This hairstyle can be worn (subject to correction) for 3.5 months. Other weaves will last about 3 months. Senegalese harnesses with kanekalon tress are worn for 1.5 months.

If the hairstyle was created for more than one day, then you need to follow several rules to preserve it:

• kanekalon braids, plaits and dreadlocks do not like hot water;
• the head can be washed no more than once a week with a sponge without foaming;
• use any shampoo;
• air conditioning is welcome;
• a hairdryer is prohibited;
• of hats, only a scarf or bandana is allowed;
• at night, the hairstyle is hidden under a hairnet or headscarf;
• Before swimming in water, it is better to apply styling gel or varnish to your hair.

Those who write are right that not everyone dares to radically change their hairstyle. Long live those who decided to become brighter, more interesting, more expressive. Sometimes this is the only way to declare yourself, to draw attention to yourself. Let it be tresses to match your hair, but now loose hair looks magnificent and airy. Let it fluffy, but now you are sure to get noticed at the beach party.

Many light hairstyles can be done on your own. In some cases, it is enough to fix them with clips, thin transparent elastic bands, hairpins or hairpins, in others - weave them into your hair.

To get a beautiful hairstyle you will need:

• pastel and bright strands (the combination will look delicious);
• mirror, preferably a folding trellis;
• a comb with fine teeth to create a parting;
• fasteners in the form of elastic bands, invisible hairpins;
• wax, matte clay to style your hair.

A large number of hairstyles are created based on braids. Maybe one, two, three, and much more. Weaving can be direct and reverse.

Below are step-by-step instructions for creating braids.

• Comb the hair near the scalp a little, apply a styling product. Treat curly or very fluffy hair with wax or clay.
• Parting (parting).
• Take the right amount of artificial strands in your hand and bend them in half. Start weaving into your hair from the point of the fold. You can fix it with a transparent elastic band or hair clip.
• Weaving "on the head" is carried out according to the rule: one strand of the invoice, two of our own. It is imperative to ensure that the artificial hair is on top, clearly visible, and evenly distributed.
• The tighter the braid fits to the head, the more fashionable the hairstyle looks.
• Braids can end with only fake strands or mixed with your own hair. Overlays that are too long are cut off.
• The hairstyle must be fixed with varnish.

Hairstyles for short hair can be done from 7 cm of hair length. The principle is the same, but you need to constantly moisten your hair with water to make it neat. And much more kanekalon will be needed.

You also need to choose the right color combination:

• all colors look beautiful on dark hair;
• the choice of color for blonde hair depends largely on the makeup and the created image.

New Year or March 8, birthday or wedding, auto-parties or corporate parties are holidays where you want to be extraordinarily beautiful. Kanekalon is a great way to achieve this. But here, most likely, you cannot do without the help of a professional master.

• Bright colors for youth hairstyles are in trend.

• For long hair, use large curls, curls and decorate with flowers, headbands or hairpins.

• You can make a bun or a bun with false curls yourself. Complete with pigtails, flagella, and accessories - and the evening hairstyle is ready.

• Not sure about the beauty of your own hair - kanekalon will always come to the rescue.
