Ultrasonic hair extension: features, differences and conduct

Today, any woman who decides to grow hair can solve this issue as safely as possible with the help of an ultrasound procedure.

Ultrasonic hair extension is a combination of cold and capsule procedure. The essence of the procedure is that a special apparatus based on forceps melts the capsules with ultrasound. Hair lengthening takes place with the help of natural strands, which can then be dyed and curled. Since laser augmentation involves the softening of keratin capsules with a laser, there is no need to use unnecessarily high temperatures.

The substance contained in the capsules is used in order to attach additional to your own hair, as well as to provide maximum protection to the hair.

The substance is a synthetic keratin made of fibers, the composition of which almost completely coincides with the composition of natural hair. With its use, it is possible to increase the length of the hair up to 60 centimeters. Ultrasonic extension appeared relatively recently - in 2006, and before that, girls could choose either the capsule or the tape method. However, in the first case, the structure of the hair was severely destroyed, and the second technique was not suitable for short or thin hair.

The cost of the procedure is a combination of several components: how much the material itself costs, how much it is used, how high is the qualification of the specialist and in which region the build-up takes place. The maximum price can be 100 thousand rubles. Since this procedure is expensive, it is important to select a trusted specialist who is responsible for a high-quality result.

It's worth starting with the fact that ultrasonic extension does not carry any harm. It is carried out very quickly - everything will be ready in a couple of hours, although sometimes this interval can increase to 4 hours. The hair is lengthened with natural strands that create a harmonious final picture. The capsules themselves will not be felt among the curls and create any inconvenience to the hostess. Additional strands are invisible, since they do not differ at all from the "native" hair, and will not fail ahead of time.

The owner of hair extensions can easily visit saunas and pools, swim in the sea and experiment with hairstyles.

If we talk about the shortcomings, then you should start with the high cost of the procedure, for which you will have to pay at least 15 thousand rubles. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the starting price is 20 thousand rubles. In addition, the obligatory correction takes quite a long time, and many care products are prohibited - oils, sprays, balms and other products can simply soften the capsules, and the hairs, in turn, will fall off.

For some, it may be inconvenient that the laser is allowed to build up additional volume only on healthy hair. It is important to mention that ultrasound augmentation is contraindicated for a certain group of people.

In addition, you should refrain from building up during the recovery period after severe stress of the body, for example, illness or childbirth, as well as during exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Then the artificial strands should be removed, and the hair should be allowed to rest, while carrying out strengthening procedures. In order to improve the overall health of the hair during the period of "rest" of the hair, it is advisable to apply nourishing masks, rinse the hair after washing with herbal infusions.

To build up, a specialist will need an average of 120 high quality strands - European or Russian. These should be real curls, which are treated with a special tool, and then soaked in water for 30 days. After processing, the hairs will be completely transparent after loss of pigment, and they can be dyed in the desired shade. The dyeing is carried out with a dye intended for cashmere, the pigment of which goes under the scales. At the final stage, they are held together by keratin.

The immediate process begins with the hairdresser creating several horizontal partings, distributing all the hair into strands. All false hairs are attached at a distance of 1 cm from the roots. The ultrasonic apparatus acts on the capsule and thereby "glues" its own hair and those of others. By the way, the round capsule will have to be formed independently, while the flat ones are created by the forceps themselves.

Before the procedure, the master enters into the ultrasound machine important information regarding the structure of the hair of the person to whom the extension will be done. This is usually the thickness and type of hair. Based on the data obtained, ultrasonic waves are formed, and it is also determined how long the procedure will take and with what power.

If the hair length is too short and does not reach the required 6 centimeters, then using the same ultrasound, you can carry out microwelling... In this case, the thickness of the donor strands turns out to be 2 times less, and the duration of the whole process reaches 4 hours.

No special care is required for laser-lengthened hair. It is enough just to rinse your head in an upright position with a shampoo suitable for a particular hair type, about once every couple or three days. However, the comb must be of high quality and made from natural materials. Particular attention should be paid to the quality of the bristles. An alternative can be a regular comb, but with sparse teeth, be sure without balls.

When combing your hair, the first step is to process the hair along the entire length, and then pay special attention to the roots. Before going to bed, it is important to dry the curls and, if possible, braid them in braids. If the desire or need to use any masks or balms is still present, then they must be applied along the entire length, but avoiding the root zone. However, these should only be preparations intended for a given health-improving purpose.

It is important to undergo a correction procedure every 2 or 3 months, since natural hair will grow back anyway. Correction takes place as follows: artificial strands are carefully removed and moved closer to the roots. The capsules soften with a special solution, thanks to which their own and donor hair disintegrates.

Next, keratin is applied to the additional strands, and a new build-up is carried out. Although the procedure is time-consuming, it is necessary. It is important to mention that it is recommended to carry it out only from the master who initially carried out the extension.

Ultrasound hair extensions collect extremely positive opinions. Most women note that the extra volume is immediately noticeable, and the new curls look completely natural and even "gorgeous", not standing out among the total mass of hair. Some clients, however, note that keratin capsules are felt for about the first week, but then this side effect disappears.

The capsules are absolutely invisible to others, and you can only feel them slightly at the joints.

The girls also note that the period of wearing extended hair without correction can reach three months. There is a point of view that if you attach a large number of strands, then keratin can negatively affect natural hair, and after removing the strand, the picture will be depressing. However, this is rather an exception to the rule, which largely depends on the skill of the specialist who performed the task.
