Hair extension: features, types and design
Most girls dream of beautiful and long hair. However, growing really luxurious curls of the desired length is often very difficult, and it takes a lot of time for this. That is why many young ladies decide to resort to a simpler solution and go to the salon to build up chic long strands. This procedure has many features and nuances, which are best known before deciding on hair extensions. Today we will take a closer look at this process and all its varieties.
What it is?
Before covering in detail all the features and "pitfalls" of the hair extension procedure, it is worth answering the main question: what is it?
Hair extension is a popular hairdressing procedure, which consists in adding additional strands to the natural curls of a person.to make the hairstyle longer, thicker and more voluminous. Today, many girls turn to this service, because it greatly simplifies the task of growing beautiful and sufficiently long curls. To date, many ways have been developed to carry out such a procedure. Among them there are both simple and very complex ones with the use of specialized tools and tools.
Benefit and harm
Hair extension allows you not to spend a lot of time on the natural regrowth of strands, and the result usually practically does not betray its unnaturalness.It is very important to consider that building-up can be both beneficial and harmful.
Many girls wonder what benefits hair extensions can bring. Perhaps this procedure is useful only for its good aesthetic effect. In addition, building up has a positive effect on the psychological state of women of fashion, because they can not only radically and quickly change their image, but also become more attractive. Judging by the reviews, many ladies, after receiving this service, felt more feminine, and some even felt like real princesses.
As for the harm that can be done to your hair during extensions, everything is a little more serious here. Consider how this procedure can harm.
- If your natural hair falls out even in a small amount, then it is advisable to refuse this service. First, you need to be treated with special restorative agents or natural herbs that are sold at the pharmacy. This requirement must be observed, because donor or artificial curls always have a more impressive weight, because of which their own strands can also inevitably stretch down and begin to crumble strongly.
- If not so long ago you did carving, perm or dye, then you should know that extensions to your hair can cause serious damage. As a result, this procedure can provoke a tarnishing of color, brittleness, excessive thinness and cutting of its strands. On sick hair, not a single extension will last long, so you should not experiment so as not to harm your hairstyle even more.
- Such a procedure can cause serious harm if a not very experienced master is engaged in it. In no case contact a novice hairdresser. It is acceptable to use the services of experienced professionals for whom this work is familiar and familiar. Otherwise, after an unsuccessful build-up, your own strands may begin to crumble, become more brittle, dry and lifeless, and donor curls will not last long.
- While the donor strands are wet, the areas where they are anchored become very vulnerable. If at this time you start combing them (even very carefully and carefully), or go to bed with undried hair, you can damage not only the hair extensions, but also your own strands.
- Sleeping with hair extensions can also harm the health of natural strands. If in a dream you accidentally hit them with your hand, then together with the donor locks, your locks can easily come off. That is why, at night, experts advise to collect them in a ponytail or braid in order to protect yourself from causing serious harm to natural curls.
As you can see, even top-notch extensions can cause serious harm to the health of your own hair and scalp. Of course, you can protect yourself from many problems if you follow the simple rules for wearing such curls. It is also very important to make corrections on time. Otherwise, natural beauty can also be severely affected. After that, it will be very difficult to restore health to your hair, and it will take a lot of time.
Advantages and disadvantages
Before you go to the salon to build beautiful long hair, it is important to familiarize yourself not only with the benefits and consequences of this procedure. It is worth considering what are the advantages and disadvantages of this hairdressing service.
First, let's dwell on the advantages of this procedure.
- Many girls are delighted with the fact that hair extensions provide an opportunity to significantly save time. A beautiful and long hairstyle is ready literally in 2-3 hours from the beginning of the procedure itself.
- If the service is provided by a truly experienced master, then he will grow the hair so that the places of their fixing will be completely invisible. In this case, nothing will betray the unnaturalness of a luxurious head of hair.
- After a number of types of extensions, there is no need to resort to complex and expensive procedures for caring for donor strands. Of course, this does not mean that they do not need to be looked after at all, it will just be quite simple to do it.
- With properly extended hair, you can walk for a long time. There are such types of services, after which you need to go to the correction not earlier than after 3 months, and this is a good result.
- The length of your hair may be quite short. For example, for today's ultra-popular capsule extension, a natural length of 2 cm is sufficient.
- Another important plus of this procedure is making the lady look more attractive and feminine. High-quality hair extensions will not only give away their origin, but will also attract the enthusiastic glances of others to their owner. This will definitely have a positive effect on the self-esteem of the fashionista.
As you can see, this service has plenty of advantages. Of course, a lot depends on the quality of its implementation. If the master is professional and experienced, then the result will surely please the girl and cheer her up.
But you need to take into account the fact that hair extensions have not only pluses, but also minuses. Let's get acquainted with them.
- Ladies need to be prepared for the fact that hair extensions can be quite expensive. Of course, you can save money by turning to a simpler extension using medium-quality strands. However, in this case, the result will not be so good.
- In the course of securing the donor strands, your own curls may partially crumble. This is very important to take into account so that you do not have to experience shock and horror in the cabin.
- Many types of extensions provide for aggressive heat treatment of their own curls. In this case, considerable harm will be done to them.
- Fixed donor curls will need to be combed frequently. Otherwise, they run the risk of quickly getting confused, which will negatively affect the aesthetics of their appearance in general.
- Various hair care products that contain oils and acids will have to be abandoned.
- Hair extension is contraindicated in many cases. For example, it is not recommended to apply to this procedure for pregnant women or women suffering from VSD. If a lady is undergoing aggressive chemotherapy, the build-up should also be abandoned.
- To build up, it is very important to find a highly qualified master, which is not always possible and not immediately. It is dangerous to contact students - an incorrectly performed procedure can end in disaster for one's own strands.
As you can see, there are plenty of disadvantages to building up. If you decide to use this service, then you need to weigh the pros and cons before going to the salon.
Views
Do not think that hair extension is a procedure built according to the only existing scheme. In fact, there are many options for lengthening a lady's hairstyle. Each of them has its own characteristics and nuances, which you definitely need to know about before going to the hairdresser. Let's take a closer look at what types of build-up exist and how they are characterized.
Capsule
Capsule hair extension is recognized as one of the most popular and safe today. With it, donor strands are attached using special keratin or glue capsules of different sizes (they can be both large and nano). These elements are very neatly and carefully placed under natural strands, after which they are well fixed by pressing or softening.
There are several subspecies of the popular capsule build-up. So, the first in terms of sustainability was recognized as the Italian build-up. This technique involves the use of specialized capsules that consist of a component such as keratin. It is into these elements that donor curls are glued.The main distinguishing characteristic of this technology is that it is permissible to use it, even if your hair does not differ in sufficient length.
With Italian extension, donor strands are attached directly to the "native" roots. After that, an experienced hairdresser, as it were, solders the strands using a special technique, very similar to the standard curling iron that every fashionista has in the arsenal. After all the necessary procedures, the girl can go home.
There is also a special microcapsule build-up. As the name suggests, it uses mini capsules. Based on their size, donor curls of the required thickness are selected. Oddly enough, this modern technique is suitable not only for extending women's hair, but also for eliminating bald patches in men. Due to their properties and characteristics, microcapsules are able to make the hairstyle thicker. At the same time, this procedure does not cause any harm to your hair or scalp, so you do not need to worry about its harm.
Another popular type of hair lengthening is the English method. This is a "hot" procedure, which in many of its characteristics and parameters is similar to Italian technology. The only difference is that with English build-up, the resin acts as an adhesive component.
This type of build-up is rightfully recognized as the safest and most environmentally friendly. It is more gentle than Italian, because the resin does not require an extremely high temperature to heat and melt than keratin. In addition, it must be borne in mind that keratin very often takes not the most successful forms. For example, it can kind of crystallize and acquire sharp edges. Such elements can interfere with the girl. As for the resin, this is a soft material, you don't have to prick about it.
There is also an ultrasonic capsule extension. It also almost does not harm the health of natural hair, so many ladies choose it. In accordance with this technique, the capsules are heated and then gently softened by the influence of a suitable temperature and ultrasonic pulses. For this type of extension, it is permissible to use almost any type of donor strands.
Japanese
Many ladies today choose to turn to Japanese hair extensions. Otherwise, it is called building on rings or clips. This popular technique is recognized as one of the most interesting and unusual. It was developed by the Japanese.
The peculiarities of this method are that donor and their own strands are fastened by fixing special small rings, beads or clips, the diameter of which does not exceed the mark of 2-3 mm. With a crochet at a distance of 0.5 cm from the very roots, the hairdresser passes the donor and "native" strands into a ringlet, and then clamps them with special tweezers. Due to this simple attachment, the hair is held very well and securely, without being exposed to the destructive effects of high temperatures. Since the sizes of the rings are minimal, they are simply not visible in the hair, so the result is a completely natural hairstyle.
The main advantages of such a simple and harmless extension are:
- low complexity of the procedure and the speed of its execution;
- no need to use thermal devices or aggressive chemicals;
- there are no strict restrictions and prohibitions in the care of such hair extensions;
- it is permissible to increase strands of any shades and of any length (that is why people who value experiments and vivid images so often turn to this method);
- curls extended by a similar method are allowed to be laid in almost any way you like;
- the rings are not afraid of the influence of aggressive external factors;
- in this way it is quite possible to lengthen even the bangs or to perform short hair extensions;
- such overhead curls are not afraid of the effects of a hair dryer, hot air or sea water;
- the rings themselves are made from environmentally friendly, safe materials that do not cause allergic reactions.
There are also disadvantages here:
- with strong compression of the rings, noticeable creases can remain on the hair, therefore, it is not recommended to use this method for women with too coarse and dry hair;
- with this method, it will not be possible to comb the hair up, because in this case the clips will be noticeable;
- during the socks, the clip may accidentally unclench, which is why the overhead strand will simply fall out;
- the rings will not be visible, but they are palpable to the touch.
It is not recommended to use this extension option if there are scalp diseases. Taking hormones and antibiotics is another reason for refusing this procedure. For women undergoing chemotherapy, it is also better to give up the Japanese build-up for a while.
Tape
With tape extensions, your own natural hair is not exposed to heat treatment. This royal (another name for the tape extension method) procedure is carried out by using a thin ribbon that is attached to its strands. Modern manufacturers claim that adhesives for such procedures are safe and do not cause allergies. This method is rightfully recognized as the most harmless.
Before starting extension, a good and professional master must assess the condition of the client's natural hair, as well as the level of their density. If all the work is carried out correctly and competently, then the ribbons will not be visible even if a strong wind begins to fan the hair. Even a gathered ponytail will not reveal the secrets of a beautiful hairstyle.
However, with such a build-up, the roots still experience a serious load. Your hair will always be taut, and this often leads to problems with blood circulation in the scalp. In addition, there is a high risk of natural hair loss with this procedure.
The main advantage of this method is the simplicity and speed of its implementation. Usually, experienced craftsmen take no more than a couple of hours for such a build-up. After removal, the special tape is allowed to be used again, which can be a very economical move.
Feather
In search of original ideas, many young ladies turn to unusual feather hair extensions. This method can be called partial, because natural hair is diluted with a certain number of feathers. So, about 3-5 feathers are enough for a short strand. Their colors can be almost any. There are a lot of options for this extension. It looks very fresh and unusual.
Many young ladies resort to this procedure to attend certain events or for photo sessions. With such details, the image of the girl turns out to be more original and "alive".
Brazilian
Brazilian build-up involves weaving donor strands. At the same time, your curls are not injured. That is why this type of extension is often used when other options are unacceptable. Of course, this popular technique is considered safer and more gentle, but even it can do some harm. In addition, the procedure itself takes up quite a lot of the master's efforts and free time. Since the braids have to be woven very finely and meticulously, it can take more than 4 hours to complete.
It should be borne in mind that carrying out such a procedure is often very expensive, especially if extensions are planned on sufficiently thick and voluminous hair, where you will have to make a large number of small weaves. The skill level of the hairdresser must be appropriate, otherwise it will be very difficult to achieve a good result.
This extension technique cannot be used when:
- any diseases affecting the skin;
- painful conditions of their own curls (excessive dryness and brittleness);
- vegetative dystonia;
- regular migraine attacks;
- chemotherapy;
- significant loss of your own natural hair;
- pregnancy;
- under the age of 18, as well as after 40;
- hormone therapy.
Today, many girls decide to turn to this particular type of extension. Its popularity is due to the following positive qualities.
- This procedure is absolutely harmless, since natural hair is not affected by high temperatures, and no harmful chemicals are used.
- If you get used to it, you can master this technology yourself, but one must bear in mind that this will take a lot of time and effort. It is still better to apply for such a build-up in a good salon.
- While wearing donor hair fixed in this way, girls do not experience any discomfort, pain or itching.
- In hairstyles with such a build-up, there are no prohibitions. Moreover, after such a procedure, you can visit the sauna or bath. With many other types of extension, this is strictly prohibited.
- Such hair looks natural and attractive.
The main disadvantages of Brazilian hair extensions are the duration of hair attachment and the high cost of the service itself.
Gel
The extension of beautiful and long curls using a special gel composition has become available thanks to highly qualified specialists studying the properties of hair. Usually donor strands are attached to natural strands using a special Le Cristal de Paris gel. Do not be afraid of this composition - it will not harm your hair or scalp. Le Cristal de Paris is a safe and environmentally friendly product that does not cause allergic reactions.
A distinctive feature of this type of build-up is that it uses effective adhesives that do not contain active chemical activators, which confirms the safety of the entire procedure as a whole. Today, many girls decide on gel build-up, since it is not traumatic and has a number of other serious advantages.
Let's get acquainted with them.
- In this procedure, instruments are never used that can damage the hair structure or scalp. Exposure to high temperatures also does not occur.
- After this extension, it is allowed to dry and style the hair in any usual (and not so) ways. There are no restrictions here.
- This build-up can be carried out on any part of the head. For example, this can be the temporal or parietal region.
- Any hair can be extended. They can even be thin and weak.
- If desired, it is permissible to lengthen even the bangs in this way.
- The strands can be of any volume and density. In addition, they can be dyed, highlighted or curled.
- Even after removing the hair extensions with the gel method, your curls will remain as beautiful and neat as before.
Gel build-up also has its drawbacks:
- the procedure itself takes a lot of time;
- it is very important to contact only a professional master so as not to harm natural hair;
- there are some contraindications.
It is worth considering a number of contraindications to this procedure.
- It is unrealistic to lengthen the hairstyle in this way if there are scalp problems. If you neglect this prohibition, instead of a good and beautiful result, you can seriously harm your own health.
- You should refuse such a service when taking certain medications that can affect the structure of your own hair, making it more vulnerable and brittle. These drugs include antibiotics and hormonal agents.
- As in other cases, you should not turn to this build-up if vegetative vascular dystonia occurs.The curls to be laid will be weak, but they will tighten their own strands, affecting the state of the vessels of the head. This can be bad for the person's well-being.
- If you have sensitive scalp, then this service will not work either.
- It is not recommended to use the gel extension service if you suffer from frequent migraines or just headaches. If this contraindication is neglected, then the situation can be seriously aggravated.
Cre Cap
Cre Cap is another popular hair extension technique. She appeared back in 1999 in Europe, where she immediately gained widespread popularity. In our country, this technology was fixed only in 2011. This type of extension has many advantages over other types of this procedure.
Let's get acquainted with their list.
- With the Cre Cap technique, the effect of aggressive chemicals on natural curls is completely absent, which indicates its safety.
- This popular technique does not require the use of glue, keratin, or resin.
- Mechanical influence on natural strands is not required here.
- With the length increased in this way, it is allowed to carry out various experiments. It is not forbidden to dye, lighten, straighten or curl your hair.
- To remove hair extensions, do not use chemicals that can harm the strands or the scalp.
- The attachment of donor strands here can be absolutely anything. Their sizes are different. These elements are selected in such a way that they "get accustomed" to the natural strands of the girl as much as possible.
The extension technology itself is quite simple and has the following subtleties.
- To fix donor strands, a specialized thermal sleeve Cre Cap is used here. Applying it, the master holds natural and additional strands together. The connection takes place under the influence of slight heat. When the temperature rises, it only affects the sleeve itself, without touching the girl's own curls. Thanks to this feature, girls suffering from hair loss or thinning can resort to this procedure.
- Correction of extended curls is quite simple and takes a little time. To do this, the master will need to remove the sleeve under the influence of slight heat. After that, it is easily removed from the base.
The good news is that this procedure has practically no restrictions. You can use a hairdryer, curling iron, go to the pool or sauna. Typically, this procedure requires about 70 strands.
Diamond
This popular technique is also called Diamond Hair. This name was given to a similar procedure by adding special diamond microscopic particles to the adhesive composition. In addition to the usual technical use, precious grains contribute to a significant strengthening of the hair follicles, and also have a beneficial effect on the state of their structure.
The developers of this technology delight women of fashion with pleasant bonuses. They added specialized additives to the glue mixture, which make it possible to visit the bathhouse, sauna and solarium without fear of loosening or deformation of the extended strands.
Diamond build-up is done in a hot way. Small capsules, which are only 1-2 cm in size, are attached to the donor strand using a special refractory glue. Small capsule sizes make it possible to make your hairstyle really beautiful and natural. They are not striking and do not give out extended strands in any way. In addition, thanks to this technology, the hair becomes much more voluminous and luxuriant. That is why today many girls who want to add extra shine and volume to their hairstyle turn to this particular procedure, although it is not cheap.
There are a number of contraindications to the use of diamond build-up.
- The minimum length of your hair should be at least 5 cm. It is simply not possible to stick capsules on a smaller hair.
- Severely damaged, thinned and weakened hair is a serious reason for not using diamond extensions.
- As in previous cases, contraindications are vegetative-vascular dystonia, frequent headaches, excessive sensitivity of the scalp.
- It is also undesirable for pregnant girls to extend their hair in this way, because during this period there is no necessary hormonal stability, because of which hair can begin to actively fall out.
The main advantages of the diamond procedure are:
- instant effect;
- noticeable healing effect;
- absolute invisibility (of course, subject to high-quality build-up by an experienced master);
- good strength characteristics;
- fairly simple care;
- the ability to wear hair extensions for a long time without correction.
There are also disadvantages here, which ladies should be aware of, who want to resort to this procedure:
- diamond build-up is quite expensive;
- in windy weather, it is not very convenient to wear such hair;
- doing tall hairstyles can be quite difficult.
What types of hair extensions are there?
Currently, both natural and artificial strands are used for extension. To achieve a good and sustainable result, these materials must be of high quality and environmentally friendly. You should not save on such a procedure. Poor quality curls will not last long, and they will most likely look unnatural.
Today, different types of hair are used for extensions.
Slavic
Perhaps these are the most aesthetic, attractive and high-quality strands that are often used for extension. Of course, they cost a lot, but their looks and stability are worth it. Usually only the best, soft (almost silk) strands are used, which simply do not need any processing. They are not exposed to highly effective chemicals because it just doesn't make sense.
Beautiful Slavic strands can easily serve 3-4 corrections, if you treat them carefully and follow all the rules for wearing hair extensions. It is worth noting that throughout the specified period of time, such curls will retain their natural look.
South Russian
Such strands are collected in the southern regions of Russia. They are characterized by a characteristic rigid structure. In addition, such donor materials turn out to be much denser and thicker than the Slavic variants. They are sanitized, washed and well combed out.
Subject to proper care and respect, such curls can easily serve their bearer 2 corrections.
European
European curls are collected according to all the rules and standards. There are no “shifters” in them. However, such strands necessarily undergo special treatment so that their structure becomes softer and silky. It must be borne in mind that absolutely any treatment is simply washed off over time. Basically, for European curls, the correction is either not done at all, or not more than once.
Asian
These are strands that are meticulously collected by hardworking Asian women from combs and hairdressers. This type of natural hair is rightfully recognized as the cheapest. Many girls turn to building with such materials as their first experiment. However, it must be borne in mind that cheap strands are prone to frequent confusion, because neither the top nor the bottom is observed in them. A large number of "shifters" leads to the appearance of many scales, regardless of the frequency of brushing.
Design
A competently carried out hair extension can radically change the image of a girl who turns to an experienced master for such a service. There are many options for the design and execution of donor strands.They can be not only ordinary, having a shade suitable for the natural color, but also multi-colored, iridescent or gradient.
So, recently, an interesting design of extended strands called ombre has been wildly popular. This is a kind of gradient in the hair. It is advisable to turn to such a design solution if you already have an ombre on your own hair. It may not be there. In this case, it is desirable that your curls have at least a light brown or chocolate shade. Only if this condition is met will it be possible to achieve the most smooth transition from natural strands to extended ones.
Many girls nowadays prefer the ombre color, but hairdressers advise you to apply for build-up in this design only to experienced masters. This is due to the fact that such a technique is rather complicated and must be implemented as carefully and scrupulously as possible. Errors are unacceptable here.
Extension using colored strands is another popular and fashionable solution., to which courageous girls turn to, who want to emphasize their bright individuality. You can dilute both dark and light hairstyles with multi-colored strands. For example, in a shock of dark silky hair, curls of blue, red, purple, blue or white look very bright and expressive. There can be a lot of colored strands, or maybe just a few for the whole head.
No less popular today is the build-up of streaked strands. As a rule, these are light shining "striped" curls a little darker by a couple of shades. Some girls prefer black and white highlighting rather than classic. All of the above options, when properly executed, look aesthetically pleasing and neat. In addition, stripes of different tones on a long hairstyle visually make it even longer.
There are a lot of options for the original and striking performance of hair extensions. You should go to the salon, having decided in advance what kind of result you want to get. It is possible (and even necessary) to consult with the master before starting hairdressing procedures. He will help you find the perfect solution for you, answer any questions that interest you.
Criterias of choice
The following important criteria directly influence the choice of a particular extension technology.
- The length of your hair. There are techniques in which a client's natural hair can be of almost any length. For example, for very short strands, it is permissible to use the popular Japanese or even feather extensions. But there are also procedures for which the hair length must be at least a certain value. So, only curls no shorter than 5 cm are suitable for diamond extensions. It is better to discuss such questions with a master so that he can help you choose the optimal technology based on the length and condition of your hair.
- Density. The degree of hair density is different for all girls. Extension is very often used on rare hair, because in this way you can hide this flaw and make the hairstyle more voluminous. For example, you can achieve a higher density thanks to the gel extensions that are in demand today. Of course, just about any type of hair extension usually makes it less sparse.
- Hair condition. In many cases, too thin, lifeless and dry strands are not at all recommended to be supplemented with donor curls. It is better to first restore the structure of your own hair, put your head in order. Only after that you can safely contact the salon. Of course, there are such types of extensions that can be used even with the condition of sick "native" hair. These types include gel build-up.
- The condition of the scalp. Do not forget about this criterion. If there are any diseases of the scalp or damage, scratches or sores, then you should not resort to building up.There is no such technique that would not cause unnecessary harm to vulnerable skin. Experimenting and taking risks is not worth it.
- Style and image. In choosing a suitable extension design, it is very important to decide on the style that is closer to you. For example, if you prefer a business style of dress and work in a serious organization, then bright and colored extensions will not suit you. It is better to give preference to something more restrained, serious. If you are a bright and positive person who loves bold and daring images, then you can decorate your hair with colored strands or even original African braids.
For hair extensions, it is recommended to contact only experienced masters, whose professionalism is beyond doubt. Of course, the services of such hairdressers are always more expensive, but in the end you will get a good and lasting result that will not disappoint you. An inexperienced master can not only grow hair poorly, but also cause serious harm to natural strands. As a result, you will spend a large amount both on the alteration of the extended curls, and on the restoration of your own strands.
Care
Hair extensions must be properly cared for. Only if this condition is met, one can expect stability, durability and an attractive appearance from donor strands. Let's take a closer look at how to handle extended curls.
- It is advisable to replace a conventional comb with round nozzles on teeth with a comb with sparse teeth. In most cases, such a tool is used when styling naughty curly or curly curls. The special arrangement of the teeth will allow not to injure the scalp and hair, and also will not touch the attachments of donor hair (for example, capsules or special sleeves).
- It is advisable to wash your hair using a special shampoo. These products are sold in professional cosmetics stores. These shampoos will not harm natural or extended curls.
- To make combing easier (and you will have to do it more often so that the curls do not get confused), you should stock up on a good conditioner. Of course, before that, you should find out if it is possible to apply such funds to the extended strands of your choice.
- Do not wash your hair with hot water. Warm liquid will suffice.
- Always dry your hair after washing, but do it right. With some types of extensions, the hair dryer cannot be used due to the hot air. In such situations, a good towel should be used, which will quickly absorb the water.
- Don't forget to go for corrections. These procedures cannot be neglected. If the correction is not done in time, then the extended strands may lose their original attractive appearance, and along with them, their own hair will suffer. It is advisable to go for correction procedures to the same master who did the extension.
Reviews
Today, many women of fashion, instead of growing their own hair for a long time (and not always successfully), turn to different types of extensions. This procedure allows you to significantly save time for the transformation of the image. Due to the popularity of building, a lot of useful reviews are left about it, looking at which it is easier to make a decision.
Based on the huge number of reviews left by the girls, the following positive aspects can be distinguished, which they noted in building up.
- Correctly extended hair looks very beautiful, especially if it is high quality Slavic strands.
- From hair extensions, you can create a wide variety of hairstyles, from simple to original. The technique can be very different. Diamond, capsule and other types of extensions are acceptable.
- Most girls note that the strands extended by a good master do not give themselves away. They can be seen only if there is a strong wind outside (this applies to strands attached with large capsules or sleeves).
- Thus, it turns out to save the situation with naturally sparse hair. With the extension, the hairstyle of many ladies has become much more voluminous and richer.
- The weight of hair extensions is not always felt. For example, girls who have turned to capsule augmentation claim that they hardly feel the gravity of donor curls.
- Beautifully lengthened hair lends self-confidence.
- Many ladies were pleased with the fact that it is possible to build up not only simple, but also colored strands or chic curls made in ombre color.
- The girls claim that under well-extended hair, their own strands continue to grow normally and do not deteriorate.
However, the ladies who turned to such a procedure revealed not only advantages, but also disadvantages in it.
- Some were disappointed that their own hair after extensions deteriorated badly (however, it is not known here what condition their hair was in before the procedure).
- The clients did not like the fact that hair extensions are often tangled. They have to be constantly combed.
- The cost of this service upset many girls if it is provided by a good master in a good salon.
- Some people came across not the best masters, whose work did not suit them at all, so they strongly recommend not to save money, but to go to experienced professionals, even if their services are expensive.
- Washing hair extensions is not so convenient, you will have to get used to this process.
- Even in a dream, you have to be neat, which does not suit many fashionistas. At night, hair extensions can be accidentally pulled sharply. This is not good, so at night you have to collect the whole shock in the tail.
- In some girls, hair began to fall out along with the fixed capsules.
- It can be difficult to comb the extended strands.
- The hair extension procedure itself takes a long time.
Of course, many of the shortcomings noticed by clients may not be encountered at all. It all depends on what condition the hair was in initially, what kind of master worked on it and how the girl cares for it. If everything is done correctly, then there should be no shortcomings. Of course, you will have to get used to some new things (for example, to the fact that you cannot use the usual means or go to the bathhouse), but a quick and effective transformation of a lady's image is worth it.
An example of capsule hair extensions is in the video below.
