Extension for all: how to choose the most suitable
If you dreams, long, thick and voluminous hair, the solution would be the application of extension. Thanks to these, in a few moments, you can have a long head of hair or maybe just increase the amount of hair, especially if you have fine hair.
The extensions are natural or artificial strands that can be applied to the hair to get different lengths.
There are five types of applications, listed below:
Extension with keratin:
A very used system for the application of the hair extensions is the keratin: this is the most durable system because it allows for full integration of the strand with natural hair, guaranteeing a perfect fusion of the hair. The application is invisible, and the appearance is quite natural. The hairstylist adds strands of real or synthetic hair fixing them with keratin: a waterproof protein that hardens when heated and acts as glue. The hair to be applied, already divided into small sections, have at their end a fixing point, called bonding. The strands are welded to the root of the natural hair imperceptibly, using some sort of laser gun, which warms the bond, softens them, thereby fixing the extension.
Extension sewn hair
The method of sewn extension is not known, but many women prefer it. A weaving technique is used to sewing the strands to real hair. These extensions are in fact tied with needle and thread to the strands close to the scalp. The hair do not suffer damage and removed strands can be reused.
Hair extensions with clips
It 's the easiest and fastest way to complete the own head of hair if you want a rich volume effect and longer hair. While some extensions tend to spoil the hair and scalp, these can be used without any worry: they come hooked to the natural hair using clips which can then easily be removed. This type of extension being already equipped with the coupling system to the hair by means of clips can be reused several times.
Extension hair with double sided adhesive
This technique is much more practical, the extension can be attached with the glue already present on the double-sided adhesive strips directly to the hair root. They are not harmful because they do not heat and do not attack the hair. Last less of extensions with keratin but if they fall off, you can reposition themselves, even at home. However, if you are not well positioned or if the adhesive is not very strong, they can easily come off. Although the layer that allows the application needs to be changed at every use, the hair instead can be reused.
Extension with micro-rings
As the name suggests, to attack the strands to the hair is used a special ring to be inserted into the lock true. Once arrived to the skin is crushed with a plier. They are very natural and absolutely painless, perfect because they do not harm the hair, but on the other hand, the duration is really inconvenient.
