Execution technique
With the help of a special activator, the master makes the keratin capsules already applied to the prepared strands softer. It is necessary to attach curls at an approximate distance of 1 cm from the roots. Usually, craftsmen make a special flat connection by hand. Outwardly, it looks more like a capsule. So that the connecting areas are not conspicuous and invisible, it is permissible to reduce the size of the capsules. However, it must be borne in mind that with such actions, the Spanish buildup becomes less stable.
A specialized two-component glue used during such a build-up can have both a transparent structure and repeat the shade of the strands. As soon as the adhesive component is completely dry, a small light capsule will appear at the attachment points, which will not be noticeable.
