Having beautiful long flowing hair is something a lot of people want, at one time or another. But thanks to today’s technology, it is very easy to find beautiful long flowing hair. There are so many different styles available today and using hair extensions is one way to get that look that you have always wanted. Most of the time these are put in by professionals and they will explain what extensions are exactly and how they work in order to help you make your own decision.
Although it looks like hair is growing from your head, it is not growing in a way that most people are familiar with. The hair extensions will actually be attached to your scalp and will give you longer tresses that are shiny and weighed down. Most of the time they are applied in a purifying process to remove all the debris and so the color of the hair will depend on the type of hair extension that is being used. The hair extensions can be curled, straightened, washed, reused or even colored.
There are 2 types of hair extensions that are available today. You can either use a clip-on style which is easily removable, or you can use a fusion method to attach the extensions. The fusion method only applies to clip-ons because they must be attached to the natural hair with glue or wax. clip-ons are much easier to remove.
There are many places where you can get hair extensions. The first would be salons and stylists, then hair boutiques, then online. Hair extensions are not particularly pricey, especially if you choose to do your hair at home. Clip-ons may be much easier to maintain, but the exclusivity of the clip-on style will last for only a short time, usually 1 month. If you intend to get hair extensions, you will want to get them done by a professional. The stylist will be able to help you decide which type of hair extensions will be best for you. Then the stylist will attach them to your hair. If you do not have any hair extensions, the stylist will simply attach the extensions to your hair.
There are 2 different techniques to attach hair extensions. They are fusion and sewn-in. In fusion, the extensions are fused with your hair using a keratin-based adhesive. The extensions will be attached close to the root of your hair. In a sewn-in style, the extensions are sewn into the tracks directly into the scalp. It is done with bone extensions and takes more time to achieve the look you want. The adhesives are based on natural substances and are safe for most people.
There are also 2 brew powders that are used to attach extensions. The first is a keratin-based adhesive that is smeared on the extensions tracks. The second is a liquid-based adhesive. This is applied with a comb and comb the extensions through the adhesive. It is smeared on with a brush and comb and is a much easier process than the previous method.
There are different clipping patterns used for hair extensions. The first is a single closed clip that is equipped with a rubber grip and is threaded through the extensions track and close to the base of the nail. The second is a double closed clip that is identical to the first, except that the top part is closed and the bottom is not.
The final result can be very satisfying. Your hair extension will look very natural and blend in great with your natural hair. When applied properly, your hair extension should last for very long time and you can even repeat it again and again, if you want to try for a variety of hair styles. Take good care of your hair extensions and they will give your a natural look that you can achieve only with extensions.
