It's good to live in the 21st century!Shops are full of modern clothes, cosmetics, shoes and accessories. In just two hours you can change your image so much that your husband won’t recognize you when he gets home. And if you make an appointment at a beauty salon and radically change your hair color, you can confuse even your own mother. What can I say! Modern hairdressing technologies help turn a short-haired rebel into a long-haired beauty in a matter of hours. Moreover, the extended hair will look as natural as possible, and the hairstyle itself will be simply stunning. Until recently, hair extensions on short strands were impossible. An indispensable condition for the procedure was that the length of your own hair was at least 20 centimeters. Today, you can even lengthen your boring bangs. And what about bangs! There can be a lot of reasons to sign up for extensions:
- you have thin hair and is sorely lacking in volume;
- you are tired of a short haircut, or a new boyfriend likes long-haired beauties, and your sports hedgehog on his head does not meet these requirements;
- the hairdresser burned your hair during the last staining;
- the same (or already different) hairdresser made an unsuccessful haircut, and you want to save the situation with the help of accreted strands;
- you just have a good mood and you crave for changes in your appearance. And what can be more dramatic and impressive than accrued hair?
Now that the reasons have been voiced, let's talk about the technology of hair extensions for short haircuts.
Hair extensions: all for and against
First, look at your hair.If their length is catastrophically small, and the hair itself is very thin and sparse, then, most likely, the extension procedure will have to be postponed. Or choose medium hair length (usually women rush from one extreme to another, first deciding on a hairstyle like a boy's, and then begging the hairdresser to extend braids like Rapunzel's). Of course, modern techniques have gone far in their desire to make a woman beautiful, but have pity on your own hair. Imagine what kind of load your hair will have to carry every day, and what will happen to it after three or four months of forced "weightlifting". If your desires are reasonable enough, and the hair itself is in excellent condition, you can safely choose a hairdresser and a type of hair extension. Micro-extensions are usually used for short hair.
Micro-growth
This method of hair extensions appearedcomparatively recently and in a short period of time has already managed to win a whole army of fans. During the procedure, the hairdresser selects a thin strand of hair, passes it through a protective ring, which in turn securely fixes it. After this, your own hair is cut a little shorter, and an artificial strand is attached to the cut. The microcapsule that connects your own and extended hair can be formed either by hand or with a special device. In any case, both joints will be completely invisible to others. Another advantage of micro extensions can be considered the extraordinary comfort of wearing artificial strands. They can be easily combed, washed, dyed, curled. In a word - do everything that was done before with your own hair. In addition, such hair can be corrected not once every three months, as is the case with standard extension methods, but once every six months. The whole secret lies in the almost invisible capsules, a large number of extended strands and modern technology that makes the extension invisible. The disadvantage of the procedure is its high labor intensity. After all, in order to turn a short-haired girl into a lady with luxurious hair, you need at least three hours. Therefore, be patient if you want to have luxurious hair extensions.
Six rules for proper hair extension
This set of rules applies to absolutely all types of extensions. It does not matter whether your hair is short or medium length; when going to the hairdresser, reread the conditions for successful extensions three times.
- Healthy hair
We have already written about this above, but we will repeat it again, since failure to comply with this rule threatens the loss of your own hair. Before extensions, your hair must be absolutely healthy.
- Right to choose
If you come to the hairdresser and you are persistentlyadvise hair extensions using only one single technique, we advise you to be wary. This most likely means that the master does not have enough experience, and he has mastered only one method of how to extend the client's hair. An experienced hairdresser will definitely offer several options and tell you in detail about the features of each of the extensions.
- One type of hair
The main success of the extension procedure lies inits maximum invisibility. If everyone around knows about the extensions, then all the charm of the hair transformation is lost. In order for the artificial strands to merge with the natural ones, their structure must repeat the structure of the client's hair. Therefore, before extensions, be sure to touch the strands that the hairdresser has chosen for the procedure. Are they similar to your own? Then extend them.
- Avoid excess shine
We continue to explore hair extensions.Usually, the hairdresser offers several samples of strands to choose from. And, as a rule, women choose the shiniest hair extensions. And in vain. Practice shows that such samples are pre-polished and covered with silicone to give a commercial shine. However, after the second hair wash, such hair begins to fall out. The silicone is washed off, the capsules become weaker, and the hairstyle itself is not as luxurious as a week ago. Therefore, before you start extensions, do not give in to artificial shine, but choose only matte strands. Usually, after applying a balm or mask to them, such hair begins to simply sparkle in the sun. And most importantly, they will look absolutely natural.
- Correction first
Make corrections in time. This will make the extensions less noticeable and more comfortable. Since walking around with grown strands and trying to hide the capsules in your hair is quite a troublesome task.
- The right master
Perhaps this is the rule that can be summed uparticle. After all, a good hairdresser means a beautiful hairstyle, good material for extensions, and no risk of losing your natural hair after three months of wearing artificial ones. A competent hairdresser will tell you how to properly care for hair extensions and what hairstyles are best to choose. Therefore, before deciding on a hair extension procedure, find a good master. And most importantly: think very carefully. Do you need it? Are hair extensions really just what you need to be happy? Or is the reason for your bad mood that your loved one hasn't called for three days? Then what does hair have to do with it? It seems to us that it is much easier to call yourself than to sign up for a multi-hour hair extension procedure. We recommend reading:
