Individual approach to

Capsular build-up requires observance of such an important condition as washing your head only after a day( !) After the procedure. Before washing hair combs hair comb with a double bristle, so that there are no collars. Otherwise, the care for the hair extensions on the capsules is not much different from caring for the hair extensions on any other technology, which means that a mild shampoo refuses to use a hair dryer and baths, washing the head only under the shower.

Ribbon hair extension involves the use of a comb with soft and rare teeth. To comb such hair it is necessary not more often, than three times a day, otherwise the embroidered locks can quickly be disconnected. Be sure to choose a shampoo without chemical ingredients and perfume fragrances.

With cold hair extensions, the nursing rules remain the same as with other types of build-up, but with a little relief - the hair can be dyed.

Hot Italian build-up and care

Among all technologies of hair extensions, the most popular among modern women is the hot Italian build-up. The method was invented by the Italian hairdresser David Gold. The previous English hot-build technology was good in performance, but capsules with resin composition did not hold donor( attached) strands, which often led to a repeated appeal of clients to the salon. The Italian technology of such an annoying and sudden detachment of locks in general can be avoided, since donor strands are attached to client hair using special capsules heated to 180 degrees.

It is not too difficult to take care of the hair extensions of Italian technology. Of the absolute prohibitions can be allocated a complete ban on rubbing masks and other compounds in the scalp( you can damage the capsule) and use a hair dryer, curling iron and ironing for straightening your hair.

Hair care for other types of build-up

In addition to capsular building, there are two more types of hair extensions - on tapes and on the tress. How at home to care for hair extensions for these technologies, read below.

So, build-up on tapes is an extension technology, where strands of donor hair are attached to the head of the client using a special adhesive tape. This build-up is called cold. With a ribbon build-up, the junction of artificial strands and your own hair is absolutely imperceptible, and the hair itself looks amazing after the procedure. However, there are disadvantages in the care: you can not make high hairstyles and collect hair in the ponytail, when visiting a solarium or sauna, you need to put a special cap on your head to prevent the tapes from jumping off. But shampoo and balm can be chosen not so expensive, as with the care of hair extensions for another technology.

In case of a toss increase( afro-extension, the French technique) new hair is fixed on special pigtails plaited around the head of the client. Several strands of donor hair are gathered in one wide strand - a tress - and are kept on a stripe of cloth. Care for hair with Trends is very simple: a mild shampoo, delicate combing. Refuse will only have from very high hairstyles, opening the junction of the Trends with their own hair. Also, the aphrodisplay is not suitable for short haircuts.
