Tape hair extensions: advantages and disadvantages

Send

Sponged strands are a special procedure that helps girls and women get their hair from their dreams. There are many ways to do this: the creation of a head of hair can be carried out using hot keratin capsules or ordinary ribbons with glue. Each technology has strengths and weaknesses. To understand what exactly is suitable for you, read them in more detail.

Cold buildup: the pros and cons

The essence of hair extensions lies in combining natural and artificial strands. Donor hair is glued to natural curls - and so a long and thick hair is created. In the place where there is a joint between the strands, capsules are attached. There are two main ways of hair extensions: cold and hot. They, in turn, are divided into Spanish, Italian, English and Japanese techniques. Let us consider in more detail the cold way of building.

This method is different in that the donor strands are attached to the natural with a special glue. At high temperatures, such a substance does not melt. Glue capsules, duct tape and micro-rings are safe for hair and do not injure them. If the build-up procedure is done qualitatively, the magnificent head of hair will delight its owner for a long time.

This way of hair extensions has significant advantages:

Substances involved in the procedure of building, hypoallergenic.
The structure of natural hair is not injured.
After the procedure, you can safely curl your hair and dye it by any means.

Cold build has its drawbacks:

Procedures are contraindicated for excessive hair loss, oily seborrhea, depriving.
Some methods of building are very expensive.
The method is not suitable for girls with thin and weak hair. This group also includes owners of short haircuts.

If a woman decides to undergo the procedure, then the result of the extension will delight her from 1 to 4 months. While caring for the updated hair, you can use both shampoos and balms and fixatives.

Features of the Spanish building

Today it is the most affordable method of building. Donor strands are attached to this with glue "Rueber". This method does not involve heat, and glue does not have a negative effect on the hair.

Spanish technology involves the use of tressirovannyh hair (it can be both natural and artificial strands that are superimposed on the natural in the process of building). Curls are of European or Slavic origin. The procedure is carried out by the master in several stages:

Keratin capsules are attached to the formed strands. They are softened with a special glue activator.
Artificial strands are attached to the present at a distance of one centimeter from the hair roots.
Next is a flat connection. The glue with which this is done can be both transparent and have the color of the strands.

In 4 hours, which the procedure takes, about 200 locks are glued to the natural strands.

The procedure has many advantages. It is suitable for girls with any type of hair, safe and affordable. However, this extension has its drawbacks:

hardened glue acquires a whitish hue, which is why the procedure does not fit dark-haired girls,
curling hair is prohibited,
build-up and correction lasts a very long time
With problematic scalp and hair length less than 10 cm, the procedure is prohibited.

The result is stored for 4 months. If a woman takes antibiotics, hormones, or is undergoing chemotherapy, the procedure is contraindicated.

Japanese technique

This method is more gentle than all the others. Thanks to a wide palette of colors and gentle technology, Japanese extensions have become very popular. For a relatively small price, the customer can get a new head of hair with special elements. This may be a cascading haircut or highlighting effect. The fastening of the strands itself is done with the help of plastic rings or clips of the same material.

The diameter of the beads or rings - 3 mm. Natural and artificial strands are threaded into it with a special hook and clamped with forceps. The color range of clips is no less extensive than the color of donor strands. This helps to make them invisible to other people, and the appearance of the hairstyle is absolutely natural.

The method has both advantages and weaknesses. First, consider the advantages of the Japanese method:

the procedure is available, it is performed fairly quickly and is safe for hair,
after the extension, you can care for your hair as you like,
Rings and clips are resistant to temperature, rain, sea water,
The materials involved in the build-up process are hypoallergenic.

The weak side is that the strands can fall out due to the weakening of the attachment. It is also important to remember the following:

Increased curls can simply fall out with careless combing,
the technique is not suitable for weak hair,
if metal rings were used in building up, then when such strands are worn, a feeling of discomfort may arise.

Thick and long hair is formed with the help of 200 strands from the donor. This process lasts about 3 hours. If you have a hairstyle “under the boy” - it does not matter. For the attachment of artificial strands enough hair length of 4 cm.

Hair extensions by the English method

English build-up is done with a glue gun and using organic resin. Artificial strands are attached to the roots of natural hair. This is done with the help of a point effect, the point of connection is almost imperceptible. The gun itself is not in contact with the hair, so the procedure is safe for hair. Strands, smeared with glue, are already attached manually.

The advantage of the procedure is its simplicity and relatively inexpensive prices. Also worth noting the following advantages:

capsules attached to the hair, let in air and moisture,
for the procedure suitable hair of any type
The selection of strands and capsules is individual, they do not contrast with natural hair and therefore look natural.

The procedure has its drawbacks. If you are not sure whether you should do it, then check them out:

capsules soften from exposure to high temperatures, so visiting the bath and sauna will have to be abandoned,
after the procedure, hair dyeing is unacceptable due to the probability of destruction of the resin,
it is forbidden to apply balms and other means on the capsules,
hair dryer is also excluded due to the above mentioned exposure to hot temperatures,
Extreme caution should be taken when combing - do not touch the capsules at the roots.

If you are not afraid of the above disadvantages, feel free to contact the hair extension masterwith.

Search for a specialist

Finding a specialist is not an easy task. In doing it, you need to focus on reviews, photos of work and work experience. Before you come to the procedure, you must ask questions about the features of hair extensions and care. Preliminary consultation will show whether to contact the master or not.

Before you start work, a specialist will check your hair and assess its condition. This is necessary in order to understand how safe this procedure is for you. Further, he will select for you the length, the number of strands to be increased and the color of the curl, identical to your natural.

Please note that the master has a diploma. If a specialist does not show it to you, and also does not offer anything other than directly increasing it, this should alert a potential client. Really experienced and good masters are ready to carry out much more actions with the received strands, for example, a curl or straightening.

It is worth paying attention to the photos in the portfolio. If you like them, you should take one more step - ask the master to advise you on hair care. If the specialist is really experienced and knowledgeable, he will clearly and specifically answer your questions.

Hollywood and tape building

At first, hair extensions were made only by famous film actresses, hence the name of the technology. It was used immediately before the shooting in order to give the hair a natural look compared to a wig, for example.

Strands attached adhesive tape to their hair. It is clear that the method is not convenient or convenient for a short time, because the hair after such a procedure is difficult to comb.

Interestingly, the Hollywood build-up still exists, but this technology has undergone changes and has become much more convenient to use. Curls are attached to the braided by hand small braids of natural hair - Braid.

Brades weave in several rows on the back of the head, temples, very close to the roots of the hair. Then, tresses are neatly sewn onto these pigtails (specially sewn hair, which is a ribbon with dangling hair).

This method does not use the hot method or glue, the slipping of the strands is excluded, since the tress fasten securely.

To date, Hollywood extensions are the safest and most affordable way to acquire luxurious long curls. In this case, the hair is not separated into strands when worn, but look like a homogeneous mass.

This is achieved through tress, which covers braided pigtails, making them invisible. Therefore, you can not be afraid of windy weather, when hair is spreading in different directions. The disadvantages include the inconvenience of scratching, because as the roots grow, tress will shift downwards.

Tape extensions are made by connecting two curls of ribbons, between them there is a natural strand. This technique has its advantages:

load on hair is evenly distributed,
tapes do not leave unpleasant feelings
the procedure is carried out very quickly, not more than an hour,
removed by spraying special means
hair is used several times during the correction, only the tape changes,
low cost method.

But there are also disadvantages:

hair is worn for no more than two months

Building forceps in the cabin with capsules

Build-up and do with the help of capsules, which are education in the form of peas, consisting of keratin protein or resin. Most often used keratin capsules.

Capsule method refers to hot. The donor curl is equipped with a capsule, which is heated for several seconds with electric forceps up to 260 degrees and glued to a natural strand. A capsule formed after heating may be flat or round, as decided by the master.

Recently used microcapsules that are suitable for weak and sparse hair. Donor hair merges with natural, the joints are difficult to notice.

The capsule technique is more modern, has the following advantages:

The joints between the natural and donor strands are almost invisible: you can do any hairstyle.
Simple hair care.
Capsule technology not only lengthens the hair, but also adds volume, if necessary, because the capsules are located all over the head.

Opponents of the methodology have the following disadvantages:

High heat is harmful to the strands.
The procedure is long and expensive.
Capsules are firmly connected to the hair and then difficult to remove.

Clip strand extension

This build-up is sometimes called Japanese, it is carried out without heating, so it is harmless and does not cause discomfort.

The technique consists in attaching donor strands to natural ones using metal-ceramic rings with a diameter of two to three millimeters.

Insert their own and extensible strands into the holes of the rings and clamp them with forceps in the root zone. The junctions of the strands are invisible. The master selects the rings or clips so that they are combined in color with natural curls.

You can wear such hair for about two months. The advantages of such a procedure is a quick and painless adjustment, the possibility of using different styles.In addition, the Japanese technology has been successfully applied to short hair and to increase bangs.

Sometimes after applying this technology, the hair becomes weak and brittle. In addition, the rings are not visible visually, but are noticeable when touched. Also, the clips are sometimes unclenched and the overhead strand falls out.

Prices for various types of capacity

The cost of the procedure depends on the type of extension, hair length. The curl density is also important in order to calculate the number of strands.

If Moscow is meant, then here the cost of building ribbons ranges from 12,000 to 16,000 rubles with a hair length of 40-70 cm.

Prices for a hot capsular procedure are somewhat higher, for the same parameters 17,000-18,000 rubles.

Japanese build-up will cost about 12,000 rubles.

Master selection

If the elongation of curls occurs for the first time, then it is better to do this in the salon of a professional master. To do this correctly, you need to adhere to the following principles:

You should not be recorded to the first master. It is better to consult with friends who did build up and were satisfied. If you have in mind a good salon, then you can ask what kind of experience masters have, what materials they use, see education documents and diplomas.
Good, quality hair you need to buy yourself. If a specialist in the salon refuses to carry out the procedure and insists on his material, then it is better to turn to another master. Which will not impose its own conditions.
Be sure to ask the barber portfolio of his work, where there will be photos of the process itself, as well as before and after the build-up.
Immediately it is necessary to clarify the time that the procedure will take. If we are talking about four hours or more - most likely the master is not very experienced, it is better to turn to another.

Following these simple rules, you can protect yourself from a poor or inexperienced specialist, and therefore from poor-quality build-up.

First you need to study the condition of the hair, listen to all the wishes of the client, and only then can be announced what number of strands will be needed.

For owners of hair of medium length and thickness, the optimal number will be 125 pieces. In the process of building this amount may vary.

How much is hair extensions tape and capsular ways

To grow long thick hair is not all women get, someone does not have natural data and the hair structure is thin and sparse, but someone just does not have enough patience. In order to solve this problem and make the dream of luxurious long hair a reality, professional stylists have developed various technologies for hair extensions, each of which takes into account the initial length of hair, their condition and structure. In addition, the price of the procedure depends on the selected technology.

In this article it will be described what is the procedure of hair extension with the help of ribbons, as well as fashionable women will learn what is the extension of additional strands with the help of capsules. In addition, the answer will be given to the question: how much does hair extension cost and what does the price of the procedure depend on?

Tape technology

The tape method is based on the fact that the additional strands are attached without using any special tools. For their attachment, thin ribbons are needed that allow the strands to be fastened even on short, sparse hair.

Stylists agree that today the technology of hair extensions using ribbons is the most secure due to the fact that hair is not subjected to chemical or thermal processing. For the duration of the procedure is fast enough, on average, it takes about an hour to secure the desired number of strands.

As for the minuses, it is worth noting that some hairstyles cannot be made from hair grown in this way, and careful care and frequent correction are required.

Compared to other methods, hair extensions using ribbons are a relatively inexpensive procedure. Average cost is about 5,000 rubles and depends on several factors:

the quality of the material from which the strands are made, and their length, it can be up to the shoulder blades, up to the waist, below the back,
the number of ribbons, depending on the initial thickness, requires a certain number of strands.

The price of removing the extended strands depends on how many strands must be removed, and how strongly the hair is tangled at the junctions. The average cost is 2000 rubles.

Capsule method

Capsular hair extensions are based on the fact that additional strands are attached to natural hair with the help of capsules, which can be keratin, resin or glue.

According to the Italian technology strands are attached to the hair, at the base of which small keratin capsules are already pre-attached. Under the influence of heat, keratin melts and seals natural and artificial curls.

According to the English technology, capsules made of hot resin are used and they are fixed with the help of a glue gun.
Spanish technology involves the connection of natural and overhead strands with a special glue.

This technique makes it possible to lengthen the hair at any length. Capsules do not harm the hair and do not cause discomfort. After the hair extension procedure, any hairstyle can be made, and frequent correction is not required.
However, the disadvantage of this method is that the hair is subjected to heat treatment, the capsules themselves do not withstand high temperatures, so it is undesirable long stay in the sun. In addition, the strands must be constantly combed.
Due to the fact that the capsules are made of expensive materials, and the procedure of extension is long and complicated, the price of hair extension with the help of capsules is obtained high - starting from 6000 rub.

It is important to note that the correction costs about 3,000 rubles.
