Natural false hair: types and subtleties of care

Not all women can boast of naturally thick shiny curls. But this problem can be easily solved with false hair. For this, wigs, onlays, hairpins with strands are used. They are able to transform the appearance in a matter of minutes, while others will not even guess that your hairstyle has a little secret. Natural hair extensions are used on a variety of occasions. First of all, they are necessary for those who want to give a more aesthetic look to their everyday hairstyle. This is true for women whose hair begins to thin out with age.

For those who are uncomfortable to wear a wig every day, overlays have been invented on separate parts of the head: parietal, occipital, temporal.

False hair is used when you need to transform for a special occasion. For example, if there is a dress code in the office, you are supposed to wear a strict hairstyle, then it makes no sense to build up luxurious curls for yourself. For going out, you can use false hair, which will instantly change your appearance. Options include bobby pins, a half wig, or a separate bang patch.

Products made from natural hair are distinguished by higher characteristics in terms of appearance. They look more natural than fake ones, which is very important when using wigs and hair pieces. With all the achievements of progress, scientists have not yet been able to develop a material that could surpass natural hair in this parameter.

Since there are few people who want to grow long hair and give away their wealth for sale, this material is quite expensive. The price for a branded wig can go up to $ 1,000, while a high-quality synthetic product will cost ten times less.

There are even cheaper models that cannot boast of high aesthetic characteristics.

When buying a wig or hair piece, you don't have to worry about it being made from someone else's hair. In production, they undergo high-quality sorting and processing.

• First, they are selected according to the principle of length and thickness, while removing low-quality material with cut ends and increased fragility.
• After that, the curls are washed in a soap and soda solution, during which they are completely disinfected.
• In the next step, the healthiest hair is dyed, and the thinnest hair is left in its natural form.
• Finally, the hair is sanded to give it more elasticity.
• The resulting material is sorted even more carefully, after which wigs, hairpieces and other hairdressing products are made from the hair.

False hair is not cheap, especially if it is natural. True, some unscrupulous sellers are trying to sell artificial strands under the guise of natural ones. As a result, your purchase can be very disappointing. For example, if you wind artificial hair on a curling iron or a ceramic iron, it can melt, then your hair will be damaged.

• Appearance. Artificial ones look unnatural, the hairs do not stand out from a number of others, the shine is too noticeable. But this method does not always give high accuracy. Manufacturing innovations make it possible to create protein hair that is very similar to real hair.

• To the touch. Natural hair is softer, softer and more flexible than artificial hair.
• Conflagration. If you burn natural hairs, then you can smell the smell of burnt wool, but the artificial analog will smell like something like plastic. It is problematic to check the authenticity of the material in the salon in this way, but the seller may agree to give you a hair that has fallen out for the test.

A variety of products are obtained from natural hair, designed for modeling hairstyles:

• wigs;
• hairpieces;
• hair on hairpins;
• pads in the form of a tail or braid;

• bangs;
• half wigs;
• overlays on the parietal zone;

Wigs are used by both men and women, most often, it is a ladies' accessory. He completely modifies the hairstyle, hiding natural hair under him. Putting it on your head is not difficult; this is done according to the principle of a hat. Chignons, which were previously widely used to decorate hairstyles, also do not raise questions - they are attached to the back of the head with clips.

Let's take a closer look at the various new products in the false hair industry and tell you how they are fixed on the head.

Today, hair pads are represented by the widest assortment, and the methods of attaching them differ depending on the specific model.

The back of the head is popular with girls who want to change their image and make their hair longer. They are usually attached with clips. To fix it, you need to evenly separate the upper row of hair with a comb, pin them with a bun on the crown of the head, and comb the loose lower hairs, sprinkle with varnish and fasten the clips of the lining to them.

Overlays on the bangs help to stay at the height of fashion, because this element of the hairstyle often depends on current trends. Stylists recommend that thick bangs up to the eyebrows, then asymmetric, then combed to one side, then torn, then geometric.

For example, wrinkles that appear on the forehead, a too elongated oval of the face, the first bald patches, vortices - your own hair cannot always hide such nuances due to insufficient density. False bangs can be used to hide the result of barber failure and be worn until the hair grows back.

Such products are fixed in different ways. They can simply be attached to the headband and put on the head, they can be a slightly more complex design - on the one hand, strands are attached to the base, and on the other, clips.

Hair pins are a fashion accessory that many girls have today. They are comfortable and securely fixed on the hair, which allows you to achieve a thick head of hair without much hassle. To fasten them, you need to make a horizontal parting in the back, comb the lower strands and cling overhead curls to them. The principle of operation is the same as with the nape pads, but the latter are wider.

Not every short haircut can be lengthened with overhead strands. They will only look good if they are at least 8 cm long. Otherwise, the transition between the native and the buckled hair will be conspicuous.

The "long tail" patch will help to create a stylish and at the same time strict hairstyle for owners of any hair. It will be appropriate both in the office and in the club, fastened with Velcro, clip and tape. This hairstyle looks even more relevant if you wrap the base of the tail with your hair. If desired, you can braid a braid from it.

Weft liners have appeared on the market not so long ago. It is held on the head by a fishing line and elastic band. Thanks to this know-how, owners of short haircuts can instantly acquire long curls.

To use tress, you must first put it on your head over your hair, and then use a comb to pull your own curls out from under it to the surface.

A half-wig allows you to hide the bald spot that appears on the top of the head, which is very important for many men. It is also relevant for women, who can also disguise thinning hair under it. The convenience of using these products is that the front of the head remains open, and it is not as difficult for it as under a full wig.

An interesting innovation is the semi-wigs on the mesh. Thanks to this design, they allow you to pass your own strands through the holes and the effect of mixing your own and false hair is obtained, such a hairstyle looks natural. Even if the tone of the hair differs from yours, you can get the highlighting effect.

This is a kind of "extension" of hair, which helps to thicken the hair and hide problem areas.

The overlays on the parietal part of the head are made according to the size of the balding area, but slightly larger. They are held by a polymer material in the color of the scalp. They can be attached not only with clamps, but also sit on special glue.

The lifespan of natural false hair depends mainly on the quality of the product. How you look after them plays a secondary role. And yet, many girls are interested in how to do it correctly.

• If you wear fake curls daily, then wash them once a week. To do this, dip them in a bowl of warm water with a little regular shampoo and keep it there for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly under the tap and shake off excess water with your fingers.
• Apply some balm, avoiding the attachment area, so that after drying it can be combed out. You can wash it off by soaking.
• Drying large pads vertically is not recommended, as some hairs can fall off under the weight of water.
• Natural hair may be dried with a hair dryer.

All modern hair extensions allow you to improve your hairstyle or even radically change your image, while remaining invisible. Your task is only to choose the right shade and follow the instructions for use.
