All that you need to know about hair extensions integration of artificial hair are used to add the length of human hair. Hair extensions or integration is a method of adding commercial hair to natural hair. These methods are used to conceal thinning or hair loss in concentrated areas.
Types of hair fibers
Hair extensions are made from a range of synthetic fibers and man. Synthetic fibers are Kanekalon and Toyokalon, and may differ from brand to brand. Synthetic hair is generally much cheaper than human hair, and is available in a wide range of colors and textures, natural splendor.
Integration Methods
There are many different types of hair extensions on the market, but for reasons of simplicity, we focus on two main types of application methods: strands and wefts
· Extension individual component
The individual approach is to take small amounts (maybe 20-50 strands) of extension hair (natural or synthetic, but we shall return later) and applying to small sections by weaving your own hair may be, the fusion of heat, gluing, clamping with metal rods or using waxes and polymers. All these methods (except for the clamping is explicit) involve coating your own hair with a chemical or foreign substance. These extensions usually only last a few months before having to be withdrawn and completely redone. The main problem with this method is to take hair extensions without damaging your own hair.
The misnomer of 'tracks' comes from the common, the long-term method of integrating wefts, known as "the way and sew" method. The tracks "are usually cornrows, braided in the sense of how the hair falls. Towards the front or from afar, with or without a party, the tracks lay the groundwork for how the final result will look like. The patterns then sewn onto the braids, usually with a specially designed, blunt needle-ended. The needle can be curved or straight. There are lots of different colors of thread specifically designed to choose, depending on what hair color you will integrate. dark hair ready to darker thread. Wefts can be made by machine, but the best son of weft are made by hand. A frame is like a little curtain of hair attached together at top and free that sinks to the bottom.
Edges can also be bonded directly to the customer's hair with special adhesive bonding. One must be careful not to glue the frames directly to the scalp, because it can cause sensitivity to certain customers. A test is often recommended, depending on the manufacturer's instructions
Shampoo and style integrations
Shampooing of artificial hair integrations can be as easy as shampooing hair real, with certain considerations. For example, many manufacturers suggest using a mild shampoo, or even a wig shampoo.
- Most human hair extensions can be treated as real hair, but more slowly. Since human hair extensions are usually heavily processed to obtain a uniform color and texture, a mild shampoo is recommended, with an air conditioner to reduce tangling light. Cold water is recommended when shampooing, to reduce or prevent matting and excessive tangling. Having to remove tangles and loosening the foundation of the integration and other damage to hair.
- Wash, condition and moisturize (very important) your hair every 2 to 3 days. The extensions do not receive your natural scalp oils and therefore need to have moisture added every wash. If you do not moisturize your hair extensions, they become brittle and break easily leading to split ends and shabby. We recommend a good moisturizer for hair extensions.
- treat them with respect. They will not grow back if you shoot them with a brush, burn them with the dryer, and kill them with chemicals. Be nice to them - they cost money, so make sure you get your money. <.
