The most popular and in-demand is Italian, or hot hair extension.
Features of hot extensions
Hairdressers use hot extensionsKeratin is a hot-melt adhesive that holds the strands in place. A special capsule is created that is not noticeable and is completely unnoticeable even on thin hair. When working on Italian extensions, a hairdresser must have a certain amount of experience, because such work is painstaking, “jewelry-like”. The hairdresser separates identical parts of hair and, applying additional strands to his hair, fixes them with a special device using a keratin capsule. The hairdresser must correctly distribute the extended strands so that the overall appearance looks natural. There is also micro-extension - for this, very thin donor strands are taken, but this requires the highest skill.
Pros and cons of hair extensions
For Italian extensions they useexclusively natural hair - artificial material can be damaged when heating keratin and creating a capsule. And if earlier the strands were brought from Italy, now the technology of their processing is used in Russia, which has reduced the cost of the procedure. But, like all procedures, hot extensions have their "pros" and "cons". For example, when caring for such hair, you cannot use curling irons or tongs - you can damage the keratin capsule and the strands will simply fall off. If you act extremely carefully, have a certain skill, then you can use heating devices. You should also be careful when using balms and hair masks - they cannot be applied to the roots, and you can forget about chemical curling altogether - it is too fraught with the loss of all the extended hair. On the other hand, it is the hair extended using the hot method that is easy to remove. The keratin remaining on the hair is washed off with just warm water, they look perfect, almost invisible even to the touch. With the hot method, you can extend strands with round and voluminous hair, or you can extend flatter strands. Your hairstyle will depend on this - straight flowing strands or lush hair. The Italian technology involves hair correction once every 4 months, but hair extended using the cold method will need to be corrected much more often. And the correction will not be too long - only about half an hour (and the extension itself lasts from 2 to 4 hours), and the hairstyle will always look neat and flawless. Hot hair extensions also have a therapeutic effect - the capsules contain keratin and, gradually freeing itself from the capsule, it nourishes the hair roots, thereby saturating them with vitamins. Donor strands hold very securely, you can do absolutely any hairstyle - ponytails, braids, curls. In any case, the strands will withstand everything, they will not be noticeable. But it is better to refrain from dyeing such hair. The effects of chemicals in hair dyes can be detrimental. It is better to dye your hair first and then choose the color of the donor strands - you will preserve the health of your hair and the donor strands will look natural. And you can re-dye it during the correction - the specialist will do everything perfectly. Hair is the adornment of any woman, it is her pride and care.
