Today, there is a trend towards naturalness all over the world. Superstars take out silicone from body parts, show no makeup photos in social networks and demonstrate body-positive in every possible way. However, this does not mean that the era of naturalism has come.
Everyone wants to look good (very), but not to show off, but as if you just woke up and already - perfect skin, hair, nails, without any tricks. But how to achieve this?
For example, long hair is always relevant and very feminine. There is nothing more natural and beautiful than a mop of long curls. But what if nature did not reward? Ramp up! Say - well, this is going to be unnatural? A million hairs go around the hair extensions, but in reality it is a great way to instantly get the perfect hairstyle and grow your hair in a short time. We turned to one of the most experienced specialists, Tatiana Brontsalova, the owner and master of one of the oldest hair extension studios in Moscow, WOW Hair. Tatyana will help to dot the I in this question and dispel the most popular myths.
Myth 1: It looks unnatural.
Quality hair extensions you will never see. Just because it is completely invisible on the head. Hair looks like its own - my own mother will not suspect a substitution. When the hair is perfectly matched in color, structure and build-up done by an experienced master (because you need to choose the right location and size of the capsules) - it can not be distinguished from your own hair. Everyone has a different shape of the skull, a different direction of hair growth, therefore, the method of attaching keratin capsules is always different. But only an experienced master with a good school knows all the details. Get to this - trust safely!
Myth 2: My man will not understand
Every man wants a woman next to him to look good. You can talk a lot about tastes and feminism, but a woman with long thick hair is a fetish. Again, good build-up imperceptibly. And if he wants to dig deeper into your head, one can say that these are special vitaminized capsules for hair growth.
Myth 3: I will ruin my hair
Hair spoils from strong discoloration and from the work of bad masters. The main thing is to properly distribute the load on the bulbs when building, to choose the desired method of installing donor hair. And yet - it is important to make correction in time and adequately care. Many specially increase hair in order to grow their own. Judge for yourself - your hair is reliably protected from harmful influences, and properly chosen build-up does not require aggressive daily styling - just wash and dry your head.
Myth 4: I take on someone else's energy
Yes, they say that hair carries a lot of information, and psychologists even recommend a haircut if you want to get rid of the negative. But this is just a welcome! How to throw 5 unnecessary things out of the house. For example, a flowered cup is not to blame for anything if you are just tired of it. And she can serve another owner for a long time and bring a lot of joy. Do not believe in grandma's fairy tales.
Myth 5: It is very expensive
High-quality build-up is really expensive. It is important not to sell anything cheap either in the materials or in the work. Since (see point 1) only really high-quality work will look perfect. But in 2-3 months socks of hair between the corrections, you save on dyeing, styling, cutting and other procedures.
Myth 6: It's hard to live with hair
Again, it is difficult to live with bad hair. And good work only makes life easier and brings joy. You can do anything you want - go to the bathhouse, swimming pool, go to the sea, swim in the salt water, sunbathe, do any haircut, use the hair cosmetics that your hair is used to and love. You can make any mask, sleep with oils. The only restriction is not to apply alcohol-containing products to the roots. But does someone put them?
Choosing the right structure
Hair is divided into children, Slavic and southern. This does not mean that the south - the worst, and children - the most good. These are all just their density, and for a quality build-up, it must be identical to your natural one. For example, if you have very soft and unpainted hair, you should fork on children's hair - they will look perfect. And if you have thick thick curls - these will look like a saddle on a cow, and it does not matter that they are three times more expensive.
Type of building
Today, there are two types of extension: cold, without using the device, and hot. The following types are related to cold: Ring Star is a build-up on rings, a tape one — it is ideal for girls with very thin natural hair, it is one of the safest technologies in building (donor hair does not lose length during correction, however, the procedure will have to be done rather often - once every one and a half to two months), Hollywood - weave a pigtail from natural hair and donor tress is attached to it (this technology is recommended for girls with medium-length hair and more. Enough for up to 3-4 months) and a capsule Linen Spanish extensions - yes, the capsules are neat and small, but when removed there is a huge risk of damaging your own hair.
Hot build-up is English and Italian technology. Italian extensions - on keratin capsules, they are quickly made, well worn and easily removed without damage to the hair. Hair after correction can be used again and again. Nobody uses the English technology for a long time already - this build-up on pitch, which is inferior to keratin, is a hundred points, and in a month it’s completely turned into chewing gum.
In what sequence do the procedures
First you need to do the coloring and to fit your hair exactly to the extensions in color to natural. Then build up the hair and after you have already done any treatment procedure - keratin or botox, so that the hair is like a single silky surface.
You can dye your hair already. However, it is not recommended to clarify - small particles of a decolorizing composition get stuck in the capsule, it is impossible to wash them completely, they continue their destructive effect for a long time. Because of this, during the correction, the hair may simply break.
Tips for a perfect build
A good build does not require special care. Wash as often as you want, take care of any means that do not spoil your natural hair. Brush regularly. For hair extensions do not need any special approach. And even if the length of your natural hair is only 3.5 centimeters, you can cope with this task. But it is worth being a realist - you will not make a high tail imperceptibly.
How to choose the right studio
You need to choose a master. He should have a lot of experience and evidence of this experience - a large number of photos of works, customer reviews. Chat with the master, see what he recommends. Evaluate whether you like what the master says, whether he understands you. In a good studio you will not be “bred” for money for the sake of momentary profits. It is necessary with the same cordiality to take in the studio and media stars, and the man who came for the first time.

1. ABOUT THE DANGER OF CUSTOMERS ON HAIR EXTENSION.
Masters of extensions regularly hear from customers about the fears for their hair, which are based on information on the Internet, as well as stories of friends. These rumors are taken because of the bad experience of extension (poor quality work or extension of Chinese hair). But here the matter is in the master, and not in the building itself. After all, if you, for example, have a poorly sealed tooth, this does not mean that dentistry in general is bad).
On the Internet you can see a lot of horror extensions with terribly tangled hair and huge capsules. And this may indeed be the place to be. But do not be alarmed if you have done a good master, and if you responsibly approached care, it is possible! Now we will tell you in more detail how such cases can occur.
a) Errors of masters. Hair should be increased evenly throughout the head and indented between rows and capsules. Some masters increase the entire volume of hair only on the lower part of the head, thereby placing the capsules in a dense pile and not leaving them a single chance for a normal toe, because if the hair is densely built without indents, it is very difficult to control them and prevent tangling. Strands must be distributed throughout the client's hair! It also creates additional volume and reliably hides the transition!
b) Customer errors. Some clients are either not well-informed about proper care, or they neglect these measures. And as a result, even the proper extension can be spoiled if, for example, you do not dry your hair on holiday at sea, do not use a special comb, and do not pay attention to the capsules. Specifically, about measures against obfuscation, the master should always explain when building up. If you carry out simple hair care, no mats can form, do not worry! The care is really simple.
c) Purchase of bad hair. If the hair in silicone is chosen as donor strands, then the silicone is washed off after shampooing, and you get straw that is extremely confused and does not allow you to properly comb your hair, and your own, which can also lead to the formation of tangles. But with good hair, South Russian and Slavic, this can not happen, because these types of hair do not need to disguise flaws. They simply do not have them). Silicone only Asian and European hair, this is an economy option.
So, if you have been building up a person who understands his business, if you build high-quality hair and take good care of it, then building up brings only joy! And absolutely no harm!
The fear that it is possible to remain bald: in fact, a person during correction or during hair removal watches the master combing out a decent amount of hair from his head. But this is not because the client is balding)). The fact is that THREE AREASED 3-4 MONTHS HAIR AND NOW THE MASTER CALCULATES THEM, AND DOESN'T REMOVE YOUR HAIR AND YOU ARE NOT LYZING))). By the way, it is important to arrive on time for correction for the same reason, since if the hair is worn for more than 4 months, the result is that the thin strand of your hair, which becomes thinner naturally, hangs and hair extensions, and your own, which fell out 4 months, but could not fall to the floor, and remained in the capsule. As a result, a great weight is created for your hair. Therefore, come on time for the correction, and everything will be fine)). Many clients let their hair very well under the accrued ones, since the problem that the hair does not increase in length is often that they seem to grow, but the tips break and the length does not increase visually. With the build-up, they are hidden, their tips do not break, they are not exposed to the same extent as cancer before, to the harmful effects of external factors.
3. CORRECT HAIR EXTENSION.
a). Again, it is important who will build your hair. And again, do not flatter yourself too cheap prices). An experienced master knows that hair extensions are not just attaching strands in no particular order to their hair. There are a lot of nuances that affect the quality of building. Strands, first, should be matched to your hair in structure, length and volume. Everything is not so simple, you can not take and shove your hair with more volume and length by the knee, if you have sparse hair)). Or build 50 strands (this is very little) on the hair with a bob haircut. To cover short haircuts, 125-175 strands are required (again, the density of their hair is discussed). Now about the building. Strands should be at a distance from each other at least a centimeter, and 1.5 between the rows. If more often, there is a high probability that they will be very messy with each other. Also, when the extension is indented 0.5-1 cm from the roots of the hair, and not attached directly to the roots, this is a very common mistake. If you grow very close to the root, the strands grow unevenly, with “roosters”, plus the person suffers terribly from the first week, especially when trying to go to bed, as the scalp hurts from such a master's mistake. Spinning your hair ideally separates as a triangle so as not to create discomfort in the sock. There are still masters who increase almost all the hair down, and on the rest of the head there is nothing)). As a result, the transition is very noticeable, there is no volume, and the hair that has been built up below is heavily entangled, since the capsules are arranged almost without indents. Strands should be evenly distributed throughout the head! There are still many different subtleties, we have touched only the most common mistakes that we have to see.
c) .Painting on braids))). To begin with, there is simply no such technology for building up. If it were safe and practical, it would have been patented long ago. Now explain the essence. To weave hair into strands of your own hair, you will need ARTIFICIAL hair, which will need to be twisted in half, in half, and woven very tightly to the roots of your hair, by analogy with the woven hair). And in professional extension simply artificial hair cannot be used. On natural smooth hair such interweaving will not work, they will not be able to roll 2 times and weave, because for this they must be a meter long, and even if you take such hair, they will quickly unravel and crawl because of their natural smooth and soft structure. And artificial hair sock is, firstly, an unnatural appearance with a synthetic sheen, like a Barbie doll, which, by the way, is not washed off when worn, and secondly, a lot of problems with caring for them, since some types of synthetics cannot be screwed on , straightening, etc., while others, on the contrary, need to be straightened several times a day, if they are heat resistant, in order to even remotely give the hair a normal look. Naturally, the price of such a "extension" is less because of the quality of the proposed hair. And, unfortunately, people who are not knowledgeable in building up peck on such an offer, getting a cheap look for their own money and hemorrhoids in caring for such hair. Such a build-up is positioned as harmless, but you need to understand that capsular building is harmless, since keratin capsules are easily removed from the head, and in general keratin is a useful thing for hair, using it for example, keratin straightening, which seals damaged hair. The capsule when building, of course, the size of half a centimeter, and it will not bring special benefit)), but also harm, but securely secure the donor strand. Hot Italian extension is a patented technology with which you can grow good-quality natural hair, and create a chic natural look, and not synthetic cheapness).
4. Myths about nail extension.
a) Example: A very common case. After the work of an unknown master, the girl after the gel buildup begins detachment after a couple of days. And after removing the gel complains that the nails are very thin and recover extremely long. The master told her that she had an intolerance to the gel, and advised me to switch to acrylic. )))
Debunking the myth: Both gel and acrylic are durable, resistant materials that come to us from dentistry. Detachment should not be as in the gel, and with acrylic building.If they were, at the same time formed quickly, it means that the joint in the master. And intolerance to the gel is a standard excuse, which is brainwashed by the so-called Krivuchku master who does not know how to build clients. Intolerance - these are isolated cases. From here come myths and legends about the gel, and also about acrylic from those who normally could not do acrylic))). In order to avoid gel detachment, you need to remove the pterygium from the nail, file it with a file of a certain pattern or mill at a low speed, degrease the nail plate well, use a good primer, do not get into the cuticle with the gel. And on the client’s side, detachment can occur in 2 cases: it is either associated with taking antibiotics or hormones (all this filth through hair, skin and nails comes out, and can provoke detachment), or with hormonal changes in the body (pregnancy, less often - critical days).
And the nails were restored for a long time, as this miracle master sawed through the nail plate. This is not normal, the nail should be completely filmed, but quite a bit so that it becomes rough for better adhesion with artificial material.
c) The myth that the build-up destroys the nail, that the nails do not breathe, etc. )))
Debunking a myth: A nail to “breathe” is perfectly enough to have a millimeter or two left when building near the cuticle (it doesn't close to the cuticle so as not to provoke the appearance of detachment). When the nails are under the gel, they can really get a little thinner after the socks. But this is not because they feel bad, and they are destroyed)). And because before the extension the nails performed a protective function for the finger and had to be strong and dense in order to protect the sensitive finger tips from external exposure. And now they are under protection, under a layer of gel. It is like a shell that protects the natural nail. And now the nails lose their protective function, and no longer need to be tight. They grow fine for themselves under the gel, do not break off, and can become a little thinner. And when the extended nail is removed afterwards, it’s stress for the people, and they must be restored anew. But after a good build-up, they return beautifully to their original state in a week or two), but they do not recover for several months, as dissatisfied girls say after building up for 500 rubles. have "wonderful masters")).
c) The myth about gel coating, which says that your nails are strengthened).
Dispelling the myth: Your nails really grow better under the gel and do not break. But this is not due to the fact that they are strengthened, but because they now have an additional layer of gel shell. And the nails are denser. But not natural nails, and nails in general, with gel). And when the gel is removed, your nails are the same as they were). Gel fortification is a figurative name). This is essentially the same as building. The nails undergo absolutely the same treatment, only with a build-up, you can make smooth nails, create a curved arch, and when you cover with the gel, your own nail, which often grows unevenly, is only denser than before the coating.
More than 2 years with hair extensions. The whole truth about hair extensions + how capsules look + varieties of hair + care for extension hair + 8 myths about extensions + frequent mistakes of masters
Very much information. Get ready)))
All my life I dreamed of gorgeous long hair, like all my girlfriends, but somehow I was not destined to have such happiness, so I had worn natural false hair for a long time. But. Damn, not this. Without strands, I tried not to particularly wear loose hair, because they do not look very good, and a short haircut terribly does not decorate me.
Photos of my natural hair with simple styling.
______________________________ About my hair. __________________________________
Somehow it happened that I did not inherit the chic thick black curls that absolutely everyone in our family, but I got quite ordinary hair. The density is average, strongly fuzzy, not very thin, the humidity is just terrible, very porous. I think it is clear that it is impossible to grow a "braid to the waist" here.
______________________________Decision. __________________________________________
In December 2014 I just climbed in VK and came across the page of a girl who is a master of hair extensions and I swam. There were several thousand of her works on the page and I was delighted with everyone! It was then that I realized that this is exactly what I need)). I read reviews in the internet about this service and all reviews are extremely contradictory, but that did not stop me. I signed up for building up in advance, I picked up the hair color from the photos (I live in Gomel (RB), and the master in Chernigov (Ukraine)).
___________________________ Hair selection. ________________________________________
Remember. GROWING ONLY NATURAL HAIR.
Generally there are 2 categories of hair for extension:
In turn, Slavic hair is divided into VIP, Double drone and ordinary Slav.
In general, there is no such thing as a European hair, it is just so called, supposedly it sells better. All this is Asian hair, past processing and coloring. Such hair is tight, thick, usually very smooth and shiny, well. Like beautiful geisha from pictures, I think you understand what I mean). Such hair is suitable for many in structure, but it does not have the best quality and durability. This cut is unlikely to sustain you more than one period of socks, but this hair is very cheap.
This is for us) These hairs are collected from Slavic nations, they do not undergo chemical processing, they are soft and gentle, the structure is natural, most often these sections are not stained. Here, the choice of structures, thickness and hair color is extremely large. This hair with proper care looks good and worn for a very long time, almost not cut.
In category VIP only 5% of Slavic hair fall. Here are collected the softest (including children's hair), the most rare hair (natural blond, light blonde ashy), etc. In this category of selected hair there are no excised tips (an exception is children's hair and natural blond hair - there is a “live” tip in these tails). This hair is rightly called Slavic gold. Of course, this is an exclusive for discerning clients and this hair can not be cheap. But they really are worth their money, as they rush for a long time (from a year or more) and have a pristinely chic look. This hair has the highest AAAAA international classification.
Double drone - This is a double combed hair line. The hair is moved manually and divided into lengths - i.e. in the tail of the Double Drone, all the hairs are of almost the same length (a difference in the length of the hair is allowed no more than 5-7 cm). The density of the hair is the same from the beginning to the end of the tail. This category is not suitable for building the entire head (the weight of the strands is large and can overload your hair), but Double Drone is not replaceable when building a large volume or hair length from 60 to 80 cm - as it will allow to have thick hair along the entire length.
To obtain 100 grams of double drone 60 cm long, the technologist needs to sort through 1-2 kg of hair manually, and to obtain 100 grams of double drone 80 cm, it is already 4-5 kg of hair.
Usually this category is not distinguished, but, nevertheless, it is. My master says that sometimes girls come to her with their hair cuts, so. This is an ordinary Slavic hair, which has not been thoroughly combed and has not been moved by hand, has split ends, etc., in short. Ordinary hair).
Ascending prices cut positions are set as follows:
The most expensive is the double drone.
In general, there are other classifications and divisions, but I tell you about those with whom I know myself)
_______________________________ Wizard selection. _____________________________________
Honestly, I didn’t immediately decide to go to another country for the procedure, I searched for masters in my city and I was not impressed by something. Having contacted the girl in VK, she told me about the duration of the procedure, about hair care, about the timing of socks, etc. And I decided. And did not regret it))
________________________________ Procedure. __________________________________________
As I mentioned earlier, the cut was matched in texture and color in my photos and it fit me perfectly! For the first time I was building up a 65 cm long VIP class hair. Because my hair is curled, then the master picked up a hair of medium thickness, with a slight wave, besides, he also fuzzed, in short it is difficult to distinguish from my texture)).
The extension itself is made on dry, freshly washed hair without the prior use of oils and all that. The duration of the procedure at my master is 1.5 hours. 1.5 HOURS, CARL. In general, it is very fast) In addition, the girl works very carefully)
The build-up start to do from the head.
- Strands of natural hair are separated
- inserted into a special plastic clip plate,
- the keratin bead is taken with special forceps, melted and the hair strand is sealed into a capsule
- strand of natural hair is soldered inside the strands of hair extensions
Thus, several rows are made on the head. In fact, the skill of a specialist plays the most huge and important role here, because It is important not only to properly form the capsules, but also to choose the right areas for extension so that it is impossible to distinguish from your hair.
________________________ After building up. ______________________________
As soon as I came to the mirror, I began to squeak and jump with delight. They are unreal simple. Thick, soft, luxurious, long, straight nymph!))). The master arranged the capsules very correctly and it was simply impossible to notice the fake !!
The first 3 days it was painful for me to sleep on the pillow on the back of my head, because the capsules are still simply not "settled down." You can wash your hair or expose it to different procedures no earlier than 2 hours after the extension, but in general it is better not to touch the first day.
Photos were taken completely at different times and even in different years.
___________________________ Care. __________________________________________
Because extended hair does not receive nutrition from the inside, no matter how silly it may sound, then they require just a lot of care! Believe me, you will have to care for them a thousand times more than natural ones. Almost before every wash, I made oil masks, bought heaps of prof. Cosmetics, heaps of oils, non-washables and serums.
Iiiii. Yes, for extensible hair requires a special comb, which does not injure and does not touch the capsule.
I also regularly visited salons, where I was a bit “cleaned up” by the split ends and did various masks and hair care procedures.
- We do not use fatty oil shampoos, some professional lines produce such. Personally, I used the usual "Shamtu" or "Clean Line". Fits me perfectly
I'll show you my "remnants of luxury")
In reality, this is somewhere in the 5th part of what I had in the beginning CONSTANTLY and which I constantly used. Since 9 months have passed since the moment of removal, then during all this time I have not acquired a single new hair care product, I use all the deposits). Let me explain in order, what my hair liked and what didn’t.
1) Balsams from the CL and Belita were purchased for mixing the HEK, only for this they are suitable.
2) Mask from Fitokosmetik sooooo much! Hair became dense, soft, elastic, gentle and smooth.
3) Mask from Numero for hair extensions, no. Does nothing at all.
4) Mask from Kaaral-beauty. This is the third bank! Shine, softness, silkiness and smoothing.
5) Jojoba, almond and avocado oils were used for oil masks before washing. Starting from the middle of the length and to the ends, I applied a hot oil mixture, wrapped it in a bag and under a shower cap. Periodically heated hair dryer.
6) The balms from Pantin and Fructis were very popular with the hair)) If there was not much time, I applied one of them for a minute, carefully rubbed it into my hair and washed it off. Smooth and silky hair was provided to me)
7) Sprays from Gliss Chickens and Belita. The first one acted quite well, softened and gave shine, the second did not fit terribly! Dry your hair even more. For natural hair, he normally goes to me.
Remnants for tips. Faberlic was the coolest! A small green tube) I immediately ordered 3 pieces. Shine, softness and smoothing protruding tips)
9) Even in my constant “arsenal” there were a couple of masks from Estelle, sprays from Capus (blue and pink), Dove and Elsau balsams, be sure to have Concept capsules, HECs and a lot of oil.
In general, during the time of wearing extensions, I tried a bunch of all kinds of care products! Vosnovnom, prof.
__________________________Correction. ________________________________________________
Personally, I wore my hair after correction for 3.5-4 months, during which time they managed to grow by 3.5-4 cm, did not interfere with me, and the regrown capsules could not be seen. In general, the term of wearing the same cut with proper care is great (I’m talking about high-quality hair), but keep in mind that during the process of wearing, some of the hair is combed out and you need to buy more and donate new strands. Personally, at each extension, I changed or added from 20 to 50 grams of hair, considering that my entire cut was 100 grams (100 strands). During the correction, I added not only VIP-class hair, but Double Double drone, especially if I needed to lengthen and thicken the hair.
How was the correction.
- The capsules were moistened with special liquid, squeezed a little with forceps and pulled down. This may not be very nice.
- After removing all the capsules, their hair was carefully disassembled with fingers and carefully combed out the remnants of keratin.
- then re-accumulated, pre-old capsules with strands cut off
- after the end of the correction, the lower cut was slightly trimmed with scissors
The duration of the correction is approximately 1.40 hours.
___________________________ What does the slice and capsule look like ________________________
And yes. This is my hair) For more than 2 years I have grown about 350 grams of hair. Here in a cut 250 capsules in total. Here and double drone and VIP. About 100 capsules I sold, a long time ago)
________________________ Why did I take them off. ____________________________
I wore my hair extensions for over 2 years and I am delighted with the procedure !! And I took off my hair, because it was assumed that I would need to undergo hormone therapy, which does not very well affect "my darling")). Then I decided to walk without hair. Honestly, the first time without hair, I felt terrible, just ugly and inconspicuous. Now the threat of treatment has passed and I already dream of a long, beautiful mane.
_________________________ After removal. _____________________________
Honestly, when I took the capsules, I was terribly afraid! I was so afraid that I almost did not pray. I was afraid that I would have to get a haircut ((The master soothed me and encouraged me and it was all over, I asked me to take a picture of me from behind).
Did you see something terrible and terrible in the photo ?? Bald head, falling out tufts of hair or fluff on bald nape? Not?? So I did not see! This is my usual hair, drier than usual and with split ends. The master carefully combed her hair, trimmed her tips and I went home.
Hair in 4 months.
Hair after 8 months.
The structure is creepy, furious straight. My hair curls when they want, and they do not care about the fact that they were sticking over them for 40 minutes at the mirror with an iron and a comb ((
____________________ Do I still have to build ?? ?? _____________
DAAAAAH. Building up allows me to feel more confident and feminine))) In addition, long thick hair easily stays and allows you to create a lot of hairstyles). Despite the time-consuming care and high cost of the procedure, I don’t want to leave the buildup)
________________________________ Cost. ______________________________
I think you understand that this is a very expensive procedure, but the cost of the service depends on local rates. At the first build-up, I bought a VIP-class Slavic hair cut for $ 140 and 600 hryvnia ($ 25) for the work of the master. Increased 100 grams of hair, divided into 100 strands. For such work it is extremely and extremely low price. Many of my friends make hair in my city and give about $ 300, taking into account the fact that the build-up has been made worse, and the hair has lower quality, and time is wasting more.
The cost of correction depends on the number of strands and the number of "new" hair. With the correction for the work, I gave 800 hryvnia ($ 30) + $ 30-80 for the addition of hair.
Some girls manage to wear the same cut several times without adding new hair and as a result they walk around. Shabby rat tail (((. This procedure does not tolerate savings !!
_________________________ Myths about building up. ______________________
Myth number 1
Extensive hair is always visible.
True.Hair should be carefully selected for the structure, color and quality of the material. Also, the master must choose the right zones for extensions and then NO ONE will be able to distinguish the extensions from yours until he touches your head. In addition, you need to understand that if you have your hair sparse, then the bald top and thick nape will look extremely strange and implausible. It all depends on the skill and skill of your master. My master can even level the car, making it even long hair.
Myth number 2
Hair extensions fall out
True. If you have your hair thin, weak and exhausted, then, naturally, the weight of the extension hair will not affect them in any way positively. Weak natural hair may start to fall out. But, if your hair is in normal condition and you do not have problems with them, then everything will be fine with you. After removing the strands in the keratin capsule, you will see hairs with roots, many get scared and think that it is their hair that falls out, but. Let's think adequately! Our hair falls out every day and this is normal, so we are updating our hair). And here just all the hairs that have dropped out remain sealed in capsules.
Myth number 3
This is artificial hair
True. Once again I repeat, only NATURAL hair is increased!
Myth number 4
Hair collected from corpses
True.Ummm And where do you get so many corpses with gorgeous, thick long hair ?? Or companies engaged in the collection of hair specifically track and shoot girls with a gorgeous mane ?? This myth is as old as Mother Earth, but for some reason I hear it regularly. All this is rare raving.
Myth number 5
Spiked hair quickly becomes tough and badly split.
True.Nuuuu. If you buy cheap Asian hair, then, naturally, it will instantly turn into a loofah. It all depends on the quality of the material and on your hair care.
Myth number 6
Extensive hair can not be dyed and subjected to parts of the procedures.
True. You can not touch the capsules, put paint on them, face masks and various compositions for sealing, glazing, etc. The very length of the hair, this rule does not apply.
Myth number 7
Extensive hair almost does not require care
True.Aha !! Now!! Hair need to be cherished and cherished! It will take a lot of care products and procedures. In detail what and how I described above, in the chapter "Care".
Myth number 8
Before correction, a huge Kaltun is formed in the head, which does not comb.
True. If you do not braid your hair for the night, you will not comb it and you will make a late correction, then anything is possible. Again, it all depends on the qualifications of your master and from you personally. This myth came from the Internet, where we walked pictures with creepy examples of extensions. Well, what to do, if many want to save money and go to Krivorukov masters.
Uffff. Fearfully?? : D: D These are the myths I've heard often).

_________________________ How I look without hair. _____________________________
Not good and not bad, usually I look. The first month I was terribly shy, it seemed to me that I was a freak, so I went with spikelets and bunches, but then I got used to it and adapted. The point is in the contrast. After a luxurious mane, I received my usual terribly irritating hair of medium thickness.
_____________________ Frequent wizard errors. _____________________________
- Incorrect hair structure. For thin hair, you need to build up a thin and soft Slav, and heavy and smooth hair will ideally suit the heavy double drone + VIP. You also need to correctly select by "fluffiness", wave intensity or perfect smoothness. There are many criteria, but the cut must be chosen as close as possible to your hair.
- Incorrectly selected areas to grow. You can often see how long “patles” look out from under a short car, this is strange and ridiculous. The master should be able to properly distribute all the capsules on the head, so that the volume of the extensions looks correct and natural.
- The desire to do more and thicker. If the hair is sparse, then you can not build up a large amount! For I have already mentioned above, how bald top and extremely thick neck looks ridiculous and improbable. And this can be seen not so rare.
- Large strands. Now it happens not so often, but my master says that such instances are found. A specialist on a thin strand “solders” a really thick and heavy strand of hair. Capsules are large and uncomfortable.
- Extension of strands to the same place during correction.Many of the masters in the correction do so: remove the strand, cut the capsule and back on the same strand of natural hair build up a new one. It’s wrong to do this; this technique weakens the hair roots. At each correction, the capsule should be put on a new place.

Common mistakes when choosing hair
- hair is tough, although they are called Slavic. Many believe that Slavic hair is only thin, soft, etc., and can never be porous. Answer: very often people think this way, and do not understand that people living in “Slavic” territory have different hair structure). Choose the hair structure you need and do not complain that the donors who donated this hair were not sufficiently Slavic :)
- South Russian hair fell off after swimming in the sea. Answer: the hair fell off not due to the fact that they belong to the South Russian category, but because something the master's work on fastening of the capsules was not performed professionally enough, or the keratin was of inadequate quality. Hair is not to blame.
- The extended hair does not hold a curl when curling. Answer: it's like with any hair. Some are more amenable to perm, some are worse. Depends on the natural structure. Porous hair holds curl better, straight and smooth worse,
- it is often said that I want Slavic, because South Russians (and so on) quickly tangle, fall off, etc. The answer is: it’s wrong to think that South Russian and Asian hair cannot be worn for a long time and be of good quality, but quickly fall into boots. The quality of the hair is not in their origin, but in the manufacturer’s good faith, compliance with the treatment standards,
- For many, European, South Russian hair is a synonym for poor substandard hair, and Slavic is synonymous with quality hair. Answer: the quality of the hair is not in their origin, but in the manufacturer’s good faith, in compliance with the treatment standards,
- girls do not always understand that the color should be selected under the ends of their hair, and they do not always understand that hair should be selected according to the structure.
Examples of typical mistakes when choosing a hair
"My hair is very porous and wavy, it is pushed straight. ((And I want to increase hair. Please advise how to be, I don’t want to build myself porous hair, I don’t really want to look like a dandelion. And if I’m straight, I will be there to buy out my own in order to straighten it? and the wavy one? After all, it will also need to be twisted like this? Anything else that is not magnificent. "
Answer: If your hair is porous and you do not want to spend time constantly smoothing and straightening it, then you need to build up porous. Otherwise, the difference in structure will be visible. If you are ready to constantly iron your hair with an iron, then you are welcome - buy smooth and straight.
“My hair is wavy, even curly probably, but I want to build a straight line so much! How will I look after this? or is it still build up too wavy? But they say after washing, he then shoots, I'm confused! ”
Answer: The answer is the same as in the previous question. The main thing is that in the end the structure of the hair on your head should be the same. Either curl the extensions (if you increase the straight lines), or increase the wavy ones, or pull yours out, if you increase the straight lines.
"How to dye artificial hair?"
Answer: If you plan to dye the hair extensions, then this can only be done with natural. The same applies to curling, etc. Not every artificial fiber can be heat-laid.
And one more recommendation: Before you go to the store for hair, consult with the master about the number of strands and their length. This is especially important when there are questions about color - highlighting, coloring.
Study portfolio
On the Internet you can find a lot of photos of hair extensions in the public domain. Inexperienced masters who do not have many grateful clients behind their shoulders may well use other people's photos for their portfolios. You, having admired someone else's work, you risk to take a bait, and then you regret about it. How to understand that the photos are authentic? Look closely at the background - it should be the same everywhere. Do not be lazy, go to the salon or the place where the master works, make sure that the situation is the same as in the photos.
Hair extensions: become a meticulous customer
How else? You want to get an idea of the procedure? Do a mini-test by talking to the master on the phone. It is important for you to find out a few details:
2. What kind of hair is used when building, what color palette is available,
3. How is the hair extension procedure,
4. Lead time
5. What are the contraindications
6. The size of the capsules used (it should not exceed 4 mm),
7. Rules of care.
Pay attention, an experienced specialist will not shirk questions, but will clearly and competently advise you. After talking with the master, you should not have a sense of understatement! Received comprehensive information - analyze it!
Hair extensions: material
By the way, an excellent indicator of skill or lack thereof, is the consent or refusal of the master to work with the hair you purchased. As a rule, would-be experts offer their clients lower-quality hair, posing as the best. These are considered to be curls Slavic or southern Russian "origin", they are the most expensive.
Value time
The skill of the builder can be assessed by specifying how long it will take him to build. For an experienced hand, 3-3.5 hours is enough to build 140 capsules using Italian technology. If the master promises to complete the build-up in 4 hours or more, you can be sure that his hand is not yet full.
Hair extensions: think about contraindications
Or rather, listen to what the master tells you about them. If he claims that the buildup has not harmed anyone yet, turn around and leave. Building is prohibited if you have:
· Short hair less than 5 mm (wait until it grows),
· The condition of the hair leaves much to be desired (hair splits, badly damaged by paint or chemistry, broken),
· There are hormonal disorders,
· Often headaches occur,
· There are diseases of the scalp.
Building up is not done also by those who are undergoing chemotherapy or taking antibiotics.
Hair extensions: focus on the spot
So, the master passed your first testing. Do not relax, and pay attention to the following points:
1. Weight. Long and short strands weigh the same, because it affects the load on the roots. That is why the extension of length requires a greater number of strands, since long strands are inferior to short ones in volume.
2. Run your fingers along the artificial strand towards the capsule or tape, and then back. Peculiar pile should be easily dealt with.
3. Ask to show samples of high-quality and low-quality hair, an experienced master has them.
4. If you notice that the hair for hair extensions is very shiny, be sure to clarify why. Sometimes to enhance the shine, silicone is used, which is washed off through several applications of shampoo, and then the hair begins to be confused.
5. Pay attention to what density hair extensions. Ideally, one should match the density of your hair. If you have thin hair, the use of thick strands can significantly damage the roots.
