Pros and cons of capsule hair extension

Capsule hair extension is one of the most popular types of hair extension, the essence of which is that artificial curls are attached using small capsules. This procedure takes much longer than tape build-up, however, the effect obtained lasts longer.

Italian hair extensions are rightfully called the safest way to encapsulate artificial curls. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that hot keratin build-up is carried out.

During such a procedure, the master selects several strands of the client and fixes the artificial curls with a heated capsule. To heat the capsule, special tongs are used, which cope with this task in a couple of seconds.

Among the main advantages of this method are the following:

• the exposure temperature does not exceed 170 degrees, due to which minimal harm is caused to your own hair;
• frozen capsules remain invisible, so that hair can be attached even at partings;
• keratin attachments are soft, which provides a high level of comfort during their use;

• for the procedure, strands are used, the length of which does not exceed 70 cm, but the initial volume of the hair increases several times;
• with hair extensions, you can easily go to the sauna, pool and other similar places;
• durability - the period of wearing before correction is about 6 months, which favorably distinguishes this method against the background of capsule augmentation of other types, which needs to be corrected after a couple of months.

Of course, this technology also has its drawbacks:

• the process takes a lot of time and effort of the master, which affects the cost of the work;
• choosing a master must be extremely careful, as this affects the result;

• at first, because of the capsules on the hair, you can feel some discomfort, but in a week most ladies get used to it;
• during sleep, with sharp turns, the capsules can deliver slight pain;
• do not use hot cosmetic tools to style your hair.

Another popular type of capsule extension is the English technology, a feature of which is the unique fastening technology. The hair is collected by the master in a bun of a certain volume, and a special glue is applied to the base. After that, a lock is applied to the hair, which is clamped with special forceps.

The main advantages of this method:

• the ability to quickly increase hair length and density;
• the attachments are completely invisible, the resin for the procedure is available in various colors, so you can choose the option most suitable for the client's hair color;

• affordable cost when compared to other hair extension options.

As for the disadvantages, the main one concerns resin capsules. They cannot boast impressive reliability and deteriorate under the influence of external factors. In addition, this technique should not be used for open areas.

In order for hair extensions to retain their attractive appearance for a long time, special attention should be paid to caring for them. It is worth highlighting a number of basic recommendations.

• Hair washing is allowed only in an upright position. In no case should you throw your head back forward, as this can cause displacement of artificial curls.
• When washing, you do not need to rub the skin so as not to violate the integrity of the capsule.

• Immediately after washing, do not comb your hair, but rather wait until it is completely dry.
• When combing, be sure to hold the hair with your hand so as not to accidentally pull out the strands.
• To maintain good hair condition, you need to apply various balms and masks on a regular basis, however, when applying, you must skip the roots so as not to soften the capsules.

As for the possible harm to hair, the capsule extension can negatively affect your own curls due to the influence of high temperature. It is also harmful to have hair extensions if you have brittle and weak hair. When building up, an additional load is created on them, which can lead to complete loss.

Microcapsule extension is an innovative method and has a huge number of advantages over the conventional option. The main distinguishing feature is the size of the capsules: they are so small that it is almost impossible to notice them. The essence of fastening in this case does not differ from other methods, but among the materials not only keratin is used, but also wax capsules.

Among the main advantages of microcapsule augmentation, which favorably distinguish it from the background of other varieties of this procedure, the following can be distinguished:

• this method is an excellent solution for girls who have weakened their own hair;
• ease of care and the minimum number of restrictions, which greatly simplifies the process of wearing;

• microcapsule extension can be carried out at any length of your hair, and even in this case, the capsules will remain invisible;
• durability - the correction will need to be carried out no more than twice a year;
• the minimum mass of strands, due to which the pressure on the bulbs does not significantly increase.

Thus, capsule extension is a unique procedure that allows you to increase the length and thickness of hair, while maintaining maximum naturalness.
