Microcapsule hair extension: features, types and tips

Hair, shining with health and beautifully shiny, is the main weapon of seduction for women. Every representative of the fair sex, who does not have thick and beautiful hair, at least once thought about how to build it up. Many of them decide on microcapsule hair extensions. In this case, it is necessary to study in advance all the subtleties of the technique for increasing the density of the hair.

The whole process of building is not particularly difficult: additional strands are attached to the existing ones using microcapsules. The difference between this method and the capsule method lies in the size of the capsules: they are microscopic and have no weight. And the forceps with the microcapsule technique are used much less than with the capsule one. This has a positive effect on the hair itself: does not make them heavier and does not cause damage to the hairline.

Before the extension procedure, the hairdresser chooses the material. This takes into account not only the color, but also the structure of the hair.

Slavic hair is a rare type, which means that its cost is too high. It makes sense to purchase them if they are soft, light, and resemble silk to the touch - then this is a natural material, and not a fake. Such hair can also have a different composition, it can be smooth or wavy, but the main thing is that it is thin and soft.

The color of such hair is completely different, but most of all there are light blond, which lend themselves well to dyeing with gentle paints. But it is better to acquire undyed strands so that there are no surprises when working with them. This type of hair is suitable for anyone with a similar hair structure.

The procedure is a hot strand extension, which more gently affects the hair at this stage. The microcapsule technique involves the use of small capsules and thin curls. The lanolin and protein contained in the capsule increase durability and reliability.

With this technique, the hair is no different from natural hair, both on closer inspection and in sensation.

When this tool appears, the whole process is much easier and more efficient. The tool dispenses a dose of glue, which makes it possible to attach the capsule even more neatly. As large as a capsule with a grain of rice. Such a device makes it possible to extend for very short hair.

This procedure has become popular even among men to remove bald patches.

The procedure includes several stages.

1. Hairdresser's consultation. At this stage, the wishes of the client are listened to, the hair is examined, and advice is given on the selection of the color and length of the hair extensions. Together with the master, the strands of the required density and composition are selected, close to natural ones.
2. Preparation for the procedure. To do this, it is washed using a special composition. Rinses and other care products are not used: this causes the capsule to slide off with the curl. The material for building up is purchased in a prepared form with a ready-made capsule. But a specialist can prepare the strands on his own.
3. The building procedure itself. This stage depends on the qualifications of the specialist. The area of ​​the head where the build-up is performed is divided into sectors. A small strand of natural hair is separated and a donor strand is attached to it a few millimeters from the skin. A capsule is brought to the point of contact and pressed against both strands. The capsule is then heated with Extend Magic. And then, when it hardens, it will take on the shade of hair.
4. At the end of the whole process, an adaptation haircut is made, in the process of which all strands are aligned (both natural and donor), so that nothing indicates the procedure.

More recently, capsules had a composition of lanolin and keratin, and a curling iron heated to 150 degrees was needed to melt them, and now they consist of lanolin, which is easily melted by Extend Magic, heated to 80 degrees.

The technique of microcapsule extension has recently gained popularity and is the most effective. Because of this, the cost of such a procedure is quite high and is closely dependent on the type of hair that is used for extension and the number of strands. This technique involves the use of any hair.

This technique has very few limitations:

• the prescribed course of radiation therapy;
• pronounced baldness;
• age less than 16 years.

With this method, the correction of the hair is needed only after six months, because the strands are rather thin, due to which the effect of weighting is not observed. When the hair grows, the capsules are not visible because they are microscopic.

As before the procedure, after building up, it is allowed to visit the pools, baths and saunas.

• There is no need to use hair washing and rinsing products that are aggressive to the hair. They must be free of alcohol and acids. Until the hair is dry, it is not recommended to go to bed.
• Avoid tangling hair, as this can lead to detachment of individual strands.
• If you need to get rid of the extended strands, then this will not be difficult. Here you need special tweezers and a product with alcohol. But it is not recommended to do such a procedure on your own - it is better to contact the master who carried out the extension. The removal procedure takes place without the use of aggressive substances and sharp objects.

There is also a cold build-up - tape. It is made on the basis of a special polymer glue. The procedure takes up to half an hour. But the hairstyle will have to be adjusted every two months.

The microcapsule extension technique has its advantages:

• it can be used on fine hair;
• applies even to short hair;
• small capsules - they are imperceptible;
• the hair follicles do not deteriorate due to the size of the capsules;
• a small effect of hot air on the hair, because a minimum of a lock is taken for the procedure;
• you can adjust the hairstyle every six months;
• after removing artificial curls, no harm is done to the hair.

There are very few cons:

• high price;
• time consuming;
• complicated procedure;
• does not increase volume compared to other techniques.

Reviews for this technique are mostly positive. Women note the following positive qualities:

• the result of this procedure is beautiful, even, long hair that looks healthy;
• the care is quite easy, and the correction does not need to be done very often.

Negative responses are also found:
