Every woman sooner or later wants to grow long, luxurious locks of hair, however, unfortunately, not all women have inherited the proper thickness, shine and strength of hair from birth. Modern services of beauty salons are aimed at compensating this annoying fact in every possible way. From now on, it is enough to just carry out a simple procedure, and after a few hours, the hair on the clips will help to form the desired length and volume.
The difficulty of building and maintaining
The process can be reproduced not only in a beauty salon, but also at home, because the presence of certain skills for the most part is not required. The only criterion is the desired presence of someone for help. In general, of course, with the independent implementation of the procedure, you will need to first understand how to attach hair to clips, which are small clips for connecting natural strands with donor ones.
A distinctive feature of the method is its complete safety for your hair. In some salons, such clips can also be called tresses or simply hairpins. A huge advantage of this option is the lack of the need for subsequent regular visits to a specialist for correction. It is for this reason that many ladies prefer to use hair on clips rather than build up artificial locks.
General description of the procedure
First you should carefully comb your own curls. Then you need to do a neat horizontal parting from one temple to another. The action is performed with a complete revolution around the head. After this, it is necessary to fix the hair bundle at the top with an ordinary hair clip, and also pile and fix it with any styling varnish or other similar means.
Now one donor lock is taken, located on the tress (clip). The strand should be attached to it with clamps. The middle is located along the parting line, and then the fixing begins as close to the roots as possible. Strands of hair on the clips are fixed first with a middle clip, and only then with all the others. Next, the girl makes a new parting above and completely repeats all of the above actions. The required number of donor strands is selected strictly individually in each case. Upon completion, the hair is laid in any way, but with the condition that they reliably hide the applied curls on the clips.
The main types used
The popularity of the procedure has given rise to many varieties of material. For example, today, girls often choose heat presses, the distinguishing feature of which is the ability to twist curls. On the other hand, some ladies choose perfectly straight hairpieces. The advantages of the latter include a more natural appearance and bright shimmering strands in the sun. Some false locks reach a length of 70 cm. Young people often use neon curls of bright shades, whether it be purple, light green, orange or blue. This option is best for informal parties and carnival costumes.
The false hair on the clips differ not only in the length of the locks, but also in their thickness, which is made specifically for the correct correction of volume. At the same time, the weight of such products remains relatively small and does not cause discomfort with constant use. The heaviest tresses hardly reach a mass of 200 grams. And, of course, donor curls can be natural or artificial. The first ones are somewhat more expensive: for locks with a length of 50 cm or more, they will take about 4 thousand rubles, and for 65 cm - 6 thousand rubles.
Using tail clips
Hairstyles with this element are considered classics that are suitable for any setting and situation. Each girl individually selects the optimal tail length, depending on the shape of the face and personal preferences. For example, with the oval or triangular version, the so-called fox tail is perfect. The advantage of hair on clips is that with their use you can create absolutely any image.
However, the use of tress with a ponytail is best combined, because it should be as thick as possible. An invisible hairpin makes it possible to hide any differences between native and donor hair. Experts advise trying to lay the tail to the side. Often clips for such hairstyles are combined using additional accessories like satin ribbons or hairpins.
Application for short locks and bangs
There is a widespread misconception that this method is not suitable for owners of shortened haircuts. In fact, an experienced master can easily attach hair to clips on similar curls of his own. For short hair, it is necessary to carefully select the length and color of the tresses, because the differences with natural locks will be much more noticeable in this case than with a long hairstyle.
Relatively recently, stylists invented a new application of familiar technology: it was invented to fix bangs with clips. It is enough to pre-select the optimal indicators of shape and length depending on the shape of the face. The mounting scheme looks so that the clamps are located at the very base and should not be visible to the people around. Of course, it is recommended to choose a natural version of clip hair, because they can be cut, washed, dried, laid with an iron, but at the same time they will not lose their external qualities.
Fastener styling tips
The main secret of fixing tresses is that they are located along the parting line at the very roots of the curls. Horizontal strands in the process should be located from each other at a distance of about a couple of centimeters. Experts also explain how to fix hair on clips so donor hair clips do not protrude from the side of the head. To do this, you need to start the fixing process only with the middle clamp. The basal volume for subsequent clip-on curls is created by an intense pile. Professionals for this procedure often resort to using a regular hair dryer.
In no case should you fix the side strands excessively close to the face. It is also worth considering that literally taking the rule “the closer to the root, the better” should not be. It is best to indent about 2 mm from them. As soon as the final version is formed with all the clips attached, it remains to choose the appropriate styling and decorate the result with various decorative elements.
Natural Tress Care
In general, you need to follow such curls in exactly the same way as for your own. However, you still should not go to bed with wet hair for a night's sleep. As for washing, it should be enough only once a week. Of shampoos, one should give preference to that recommended for dry hair. At the end of the bath procedure, a special nourishing balm should be applied, or go with another care product.
Consider in more detail the process of washing natural hair on clips:
- at the beginning, the curls are carefully combed;
- locks are abundantly wetted with water;
- the hair is washed with foamed shampoo;
- detergent residues are removed and moisture is squeezed out;
- all strands are carefully applied nourishing balm;
- after the product is washed off, and the remaining moisture is removed with a towel;
- hair is sequentially dried with an ordinary hairdryer;
- dry curls are thoroughly combed with a tool with rare cloves.
Features of hair clips
Company catalogs with tresses, as a rule, thoroughly describe the features of the application of this type of overhead strands. Particular attention is paid to those tresses that use natural raw materials - real human hair. Their irreplaceable qualities like a natural structure, pleasant tactile sensations for themselves and others, as well as a certain degree of liveliness in their appearance quite eloquently speak in favor of hair clips with hair clips.
Stylists believe that this option of fastening makes it possible for the widest possible experiments with style in the future, since donor strands stand out quite successfully, and their clamps, on the contrary, are hidden with the same success. Clips are perfectly combined both with everyday styling and with holiday ones. The fasteners and tailoring are more than reliable, that is, the risk in an uncomfortable situation of losing donor hair is completely absent. The silicone layer on each clip allows you not to injure your native hair when exposed to them.
Quality check when choosing
Poorly made fixtures or material can significantly ruin the end result. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to purchase hair on clips only in specialized stores with a direct personal presence. Before making a purchase, ask for a sample in order to slightly pull it by the locks and make sure that the hairs do not fall out and hold firmly on the mounting mechanisms.
