How Many Kinds Of Hair Extensions
Hair extensions can be
attached in different methods, based on the type of hair,
the amount being added, the budget of the customer, and his or her
lifestyle. When quite a lot of hair are to be attached, or the hair is
required to last for quite a long time, an expert stylist typically
should be consulted.
Clip in Hair Extensions
Smaller, temporary
extensions usually do not require the services of a specialist. The most
basic type of extensions simply clip onto existing hair, an operation
that can usually be done at home without much effort, although a stylist
may help attach them or dye the hair to better match the wearer's
natural color. Hair attached this way usually only lasts for one day or
one night, although they can be reused repeatedly.
Micro Links and Shrink Links
Longer-lasting
extensions can be put into natural hair with metal rings or keratin
tubing. During this process, the hair is attached to a small ring or
tube, which is clamped onto pieces of real hair. That is a popular
method, as damage to the natural hair is minimal, and no adhesives or
solvents are being used which could potentially irritate sensitive skin.
They can, however, be difficult to take out, add additional weight to
the hair, and can loosen after washings, releasing some of the strands.
Experts don't usually recommend this process for fine hair.
Bonding Hair Extensions
Bonding
or gluing usually involves longer wefts of hair, tracks which can be up
to 6 inches (15.24 cm) long. An adhesive is applied to the roots of the
hair before the extension is applied. This method is usually relatively
quick to do, but does not last as long as others.
Fusing Hair Extensions
A
special adhesive can also be used to fuse extensions into real human
hair. Small pieces of hair can be attached with this method. Hot fusion
may involve braiding the extension into the naturalhair and bonding them
together with a wax adhesive. Less commonly, cold fusion methods may be
used to attach the extensions.
Fusing usually takes several hours to
apply, and will usually need a similar amount of time to remove,
although it depends upon the exact technique and adhesives used. There
are products that allow fusion to be done at home but professionally
fused extensions tend to last longer and cost more.
Weaving Hair Extensions
Hair
extensions can also be sewn into the hair. The person's natural hair is
usually braided tight and close to the scalp in cornrows, and the weft
sewn into the braid. This process can take quite a long time, as the
person's own hair have to be braided first, and some people find the
entire procedure to be really painful. This method may also be very
expensive, although it usually lasts for a long time.
Making
the choice to get hair extensions can represent a substantial financial
and time commitment. Your initial cost will be increased with
professional products designed to keep your extensions, as well as the
natural hair, healthy; extensions also typically require frequent trips
to the salon for maintenance as existing hair grows out. An
inexperienced stylist can make poor choices causing hair damage, so
anyone considering hair extensions should select one who has had the
proper training and experience to maximize the investment required.
Hair
extension professionals are typically licensed cosmetologists well
trained in the many methods of applying hair extensions. When choosing a
stylist, a person should inquire about training, certification, and
experience, as well as be specific about her or his needs and concerns.
Some stylists keep a portfolio with photos of past customers, and will
offer references upon request.
