What woman does not dream of beautiful and thick hair? While doctors were developing complex hair transplant schemes, a sensation occurred in the hairdressing industry a few years ago - the use of hair extension techniques began, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net It would seem that dreams have come true: although the extension procedure does not belong to the category of cheap ones, almost any woman can significantly increase the volume of hair, change their length and color - in general, become a real beauty queen.

But after rave reviews, after a while, the first negative ones appeared: women complained that after removing the extensions, they almost lost their own, that it took a lot of time and money to treat damaged hair.. Is it safe to grow hair? Or is it better to forget about this possibility and be content with what nature has given us?

Types of extensions First you need to figure out exactly how hair extensions work.. According to technology, it is divided into hot and cold, but in both cases, foreign strands of hair are attached to their own, and microcapsules similar to balls are formed at the junction..

Hot extension according to English technology is a method when the strands are attached only with heated keratin or wax. Italian technology also involves the use of special metal clamps, which are preheated to the desired temperature.. (The latest fashion is ultrasonic extension: clips are melted under the action of ultrasonic waves. ) English technology seems to be more gentle - because there is no metal in the hair. However, the strength of the hair attached in this way is not too great: they can be combed out accidentally.. So in terms of reliability, the Italian method wins.

Cold hair extensions are also carried out in several ways:.

with the help of a special tape on which the hair is distributed. It is fixed at the roots of your own hair with glue.. This is the fastest and most budgetary way to build today.;

hair is glued to your own with a special glue. This procedure is more suitable for blondes, as the glue has a light shade.;

strands of hair are attached to your own with tiny metal clips that match the color of your hair.

So, any of the available technologies involves at least the use of foreign objects (capsules and tapes), as a maximum - more glue and heat treatment.

How to choose hair extensions? This is the next but no less important question.. What's the use of extensions if \? For extensions, only natural human hair is used, in no case artificial. Other people's hair must match the structure of their own, otherwise the difference will be obvious.. And it's not about color - extended hair can be dyed or, conversely, create a coloring effect.

Before the sale, the hair is disinfected and specially treated, and inexperienced buyers are in for an unpleasant surprise.. The hair is polished and covered with silicone, it looks extremely attractive, but literally after two or three washings, the structure of such hair changes beyond recognition..

Three types of hair extensions are on sale: Asian, European and Slavic.

Asian ones are usually shipped from China and Korea. They are the cheapest, but after washing they are easily tangled, stand on end and are very difficult to comb.. (Now imagine that all this is happening in your head. ) The so-called European hair can actually come from India or Latin America and are also not of very high quality. However, if a woman has her own hard and dense hair, European strands can also be used for extensions..

The Slavic type of hair is best suited for extensions: during pre-treatment, they retain a scaly layer and they are never treated with silicone. Such hair lends itself well to styling, blow-drying, straightening with an iron.. But they are much more expensive than the previous two options..

By saving on buying cheap hair, you are at considerable risk: taking care of hair extensions can turn into real torture..

How to take care of your hair? It's better to know everything about it in advance.. To get a beautiful head of hair, three components are needed: high-quality hair, an experienced master and proper care..

Almost all types of extensions prohibit such familiar pleasure as visiting a bath or sauna: at elevated temperatures, the glue melts. The same happens when using hot air in a hair dryer - in order to avoid melting keratin, you need a warm or cold air mode..

It is recommended to wash hair extensions only in an upright position - if you lower your head, the hair will easily tangle. When applying the balm, make sure that it does not fall on the capsules.. By the way, about washing your hair. It is not recommended to do this daily, and you need to massage the scalp very carefully so as not to damage the hair attachment points..

Forget that it was once possible to let your hair dry and comb it quickly. It will not work quickly, and besides, you will have to purchase a special brush made of natural bristles, without balls at the end, otherwise your hair volume will decrease considerably. After careful washing, you should gently blot each strand with a towel (you can’t wind it on your head - the hair will get tangled), and then gently dry and comb the slightly dried hair.

At night, hair extensions must be collected in a pigtail or ponytail..

The most important thing is the timely correction of hair extensions. Do not assume that you can spend six months with them. In fact, correction may be required after a couple of months - depending on the growth rate of your own hair.. The correction procedure consists in the fact that the hair extensions are removed and reattached closer to the roots.. True, it costs a little less..

To be or not to be build-up? This is a question every woman must decide for herself.. Hair extensions are strictly not recommended for any problems with the scalp.. Brittle and thin hair will not withstand the mass of extensions. This procedure is not recommended for women suffering from migraines or vegetative-vascular dystonia..

In any case, you should think carefully: does the risk of losing your own hair outweigh the pleasure of a short-term beautiful hairstyle
