admin Beautiful hair is a must for most women. When our hair looks good, we feel good too. Good hair style makes you be confident. Unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with naturally long, luscious locks and in order to get the hair you really want some of us have to cheat with hair extensions.
Nowadays, hair extensions are really advanced and most people won’t even be able to guess that your new long locks aren’t your own. These extensions exist in varying shades, textures and sources. There are also various ways of attaching the extensions to your own hair. You can weave, braid, fuse, bond or clip on the extensions.
Clip on or clip in. These are hair extensions with micro clips at one end that allow you to clip on the accessory to your hair. You can save your money if you clip on the accessories by yourself. You can finish the task yourself; even not by the expert handling.
Braiding. Some hair extensions aren’t equipped with micro clips and need to be braided along with your own hair. This kind of extensions is called "braiding". There are several ways you can braid your hair. A skilled hairdresser should be able to execute a variety of styles.
Bonding. Other hair extension techniques require the application of bonding glue at one end of the extensions so that the glued tip will stick securely on your hair root. The process is referred to as bonding. Bonding is as easy as sticking on a false eyelash on your eye lid.
Weaving is the best known method of hair extension attachment. You must utilize your natural hair to create tracks where you will have someone weave or sew the hair extensions onto. For satisfactory results, it is essential that you make the tracks as close to your scalp as possible. Because the hair extensions conceal your own hair, experts recommend this method if you have severely damaged tresses.
Fusion. Some other hair extensions can be attached following the "hot glue gun" method. The extensions are fastened to your hair using a hot glue gun. The hot glue is applied to the extensions then attached to the root of your hair. This will keep your hair labor-intensive and can take several hours of your time. There is a method called”cold fusion”. This method uses a keratin-based polymer to attach the extensions to the root of your hair. It is gentler on your hair and the use of a hot glue gun is no longer required.
Pre-tipped hair extensions are marketed with a small amount of glue already attached to one end of the extensions. You then attach the extensions with the help of a special applicator.
