Long hair is a classic of female beauty. No matter how the woman periodically cuts her hair, she still dreams of long hair, as it is always graceful and graceful. But they don’t choose the mood, and early in the morning we sometimes wake up with the desire to braid the braid to the waist, but the reflection makes it clear that this is impossible for many, many years to come.
Fortunately, in our time so many things could come up for beauties. Therefore, to realize the desire "braid to the waist" will help the procedure for hair extensions.
What it is?
Hair extension is a procedure that is carried out only in specialized salons. It involves the addition of additional strands to human natural hair. Such a procedure is intended to give not only length, but also volume to the hair. Thanks to the build-up, the hairstyles and even the image of a person can radically change, for example, from a daring “little girl” in a couple of hours to an elegant lady.
History of occurrence
When it comes to female beauty, it was obviously not without Ancient Egypt. The history of hair extensions is no exception. It originated there. Egyptian priests and wealthy people wore wigs, which were neatly braided in braids under one length - a square. Artificial hair was combed back and fixed with tiaras, hoops or combs.
Looking at world history as a whole, one can understand that wigs and hairpieces have always been in price and popularity. They were decorated in every possible way: strewn with powder, covered with nets and expensive stones. Until the twentieth century, there was no idea of life without artificial hair.
And at the end of the 80s of the last century, smooth, shiny and long hair became the main trend. Owners of thick curls this led to confusion. Professionals began to look for ways to solve hair problems. At that time, a solution was found: the technology of strong plexus all over the braid, so that afterwards you can sew on tresses - wide strands of artificial or natural hair. The main task was to fix tresses as close as possible to each other, which in the future could be laid and even cut.
But among Europeans, a breakthrough in discovery was made by hairdresser Simon Forbes.
His hair fastening technique is still relevant in our time. Its essence lies in the fact that artificial locks are attached to their own hair (Forbes used only them, because he liked to give preference to hygiene and aesthetics) with an indent from the roots by 1 centimeter. Due to this, the hairstyle automatically increased in volume and allowed you to lengthen the hair immediately by 70 centimeters. Fake strands were attached to the hair using special means, consisting of keratin or glue. It was Simon who suggested changing not only the length and volume, but also the color of the hair.
Of course, stepping in step with the times, the technology of hair extensions has changed, but the main essence of the principle remains the same: artificial or natural strands are attached to your own hair.
Types of building
To date, what kind of techniques have not been invented in order to grow hair as naturally and safely as possible. The main ones include:
- Italian hot technology (based on capsules) is one of the safest, despite the fact that it belongs to the hot method of attachment, where the hair is exposed to high temperature. The bottom line is that an artificial one is attached to the natural strand due to the capsule with keratin, which is melted.
- Spanish (cold) hair extensions are similar to the previous technology. Artificial strands are combined with natural ones, but with the help of two components: an adhesive containing keratin, and a polymer. The components, entering into the reaction, solidify in a transparent capsule, thereby holding the extended strand.
- Extension using ribbons - the essence of the procedure is the same, the only thing is that instead of thin locks, take large strips of hair that are fastened with a thin tape with an edge treated with keratin or glue (hypoallergenic);
- Japanese method using micro beads. Here, the key component is special clips (clips). It is they who fasten the artificial strand with the natural. Strands are threaded through a bead with a special hook and clamped with forceps.
- Ultrasonic hair extensions are perhaps the most versatile technology that holds strands together with ultrasonic waves.
Ultrasound technology
Ultrasonic hair extensions are by far the most sought after Hollywood trend in the hairstyle industry. Over the years, the build-up procedure has gone to the masses and has become more accessible to the fair sex. Therefore, the line of beauties behind braids to the waist has increased literally at times.
The Hollywood hairdresser thought about how to accelerate the process of building without harming the hair. And he came up with the unique idea of combining the advantages of hot and cold building, namely: thermo-forceps, which would melt the capsules not due to exposure to high temperature, namely ultrasonic pulses.
Procedure
So, in order to purchase a long head of hair with a dizzying volume, it is necessary to go only to the salon to a trusted specialist, since this technique requires a special ultrasonic apparatus for hair extensions. It needs to be configured before each procedure.
First, the master will examine the structure of the hair, its thickness and type, in order to understand how many strands will be needed to achieve the desired hairstyle. Then, when all the components are ready, you can proceed.
- Horizontal parting is done, dividing the mass of hair into sectors.
- An artificial lock is attached to a natural strand, deviating from the roots about 1 centimeter.
- A keratin capsule is applied at the junction, which is softened with ultrasonic hair extensions.
- Securely hold them together to form a capsule.
Hair care
After ultrasonic hair extensions do not require complex care. Everything is allowed: haircuts, dyes, any styling with curling irons and a hairdryer. The only prohibition is the application of various masks and balms to the roots. The fact is that the components that make up these products are able to soften the capsules and, thereby, provoke their slipping.
Correction and removal
Despite the fact that ultrasonic hair extensions are very persistent, natural hair is still growing. Therefore, after about 2-3 months, you need to make a correction. Using a special solution, the master will soften the capsules and remove artificial strands. When re-building, keratin is again soldered to the donor strands.
