Long luxurious strands, of course, give the female image of romance and mystery and sexuality. Unfortunately, nature has not given all rich and dense hair, so recently the immense popularity is gained by the procedure of building up.
Types of hair extensions
In principle, there are only two main types of procedure under consideration - hot hair extensions and cold. In the first case, the attachment of strands occurs with the help of thermal exposure to high temperatures. The cold method assumes a more gentle effect, the build-up is carried out with the help of special adhesives.
Naturally, there are several subspecies of the hair extension techniques presented above and increasing their density. Let's consider each of them in detail.
Ultrasonic hair extension
This technique has appeared relatively recently, but, despite the novelty, has won the location of professionals and customers. The method is based on capsular hair extensions, but the fixation of the strand is performed by ultrasonic forceps. A scalable material is attached to your hair with a keratin capsule. Then it is affected by an ultrasound wave, which is converted into thermal energy upon reaching the bond (capsule). Thus, the accreted hair is securely fixed and does not harm its own strands.
Among all types of ultrasound hair extension has the longest result - the effect persists to 6 months.
Hair extensions on thirds
This method is also called African build-up. It is based on the mechanical attachment of whole strands to the native hair. Pre-plait the plait on a straight horizontal parting on the head. To her is fastened a tress - a long lock of hair, which are fixed at the base with a thin ribbon of fabric. Thus, the volume and density of the hair is instantly increased, and the hair is not subject to either thermal or chemical effects. It should be noted that this method of building allows you to do chemical perm, hair coloring and frequent styling.
Among the disadvantages of the tresses is frequent correction (about once every 2 weeks) and the inability to grow the upper strands. It is necessary to hide the fastening points with your own hair.
Italian microcapsule hair extension
The presented technique refers to the hot kind of build-up. The material used is good quality hair with a keratin capsule at one end. In the zone near the roots to the natural strands are attached scalable hair, after which the keratin is heated with the help of special forceps with adjustable temperature. The intensive thermal effect lasts no more than 2 seconds, during this time the keratin melts and reliably binds the native hair with artificial strands. The latter is preferable to use for building up in the bang zone, since they are completely invisible, even while holding a hand through the hair.
Do the hair get damaged after building up?
In fact, even a hot procedure to increase the length and volume of the hair does not do more harm than the daily hair styling with a hairdryer or ironing. And cold methods in general are absolutely safe.
You can damage your hair in the following cases:
- an unprofessional master who performs build-up;
- poor-quality materials and equipment for the procedure;
- improper home care for hair extensions;
- untimely or incomplete correction;
- Ineptly executed procedure of removal of the increased strands.
