Unsuccessful haircut or the need to suddenly make a luxurious hairstyle makes women urgently appeal to a beauty salon. Thanks to quality modeling, you can just make any curls in a day. Sometimes it is more difficult to do, but a qualified specialist will cope with a difficult task.
Types of hair extensions
The optimal starting level of the hairstyle for performing the manipulation in question is 10-20 cm. To build hair for a short haircut it looked natural, without noticeable boundaries of natural and acquired curls, this figure should exceed 5 cm. If this value is lower, you will have to wait several months until they slightly otrastut.
Hair extension to short hair is done in several ways:
- tape ;
- capsular ( Italian ) or microcapsular;
- Hollywood (African).
Ribbon build-up on short hair
The elongation technology described is the gluing of prepared strips. They already have neat strands of the desired size and color. This method less than others spoils the natural hair rods, but gradually loses its popularity due to several disadvantages. The most important disadvantage is the onerous care of the styling. Life is divided into 2 periods, when there is an extension to short hair - before, after. With glued tapes you can not:
- tie a tail on the vertex, braid the braid;
- make masks for scalp, apply nutritious and moisturizing balms, lotions;
- to be exposed to high temperatures (steam room, sauna, solarium);
- create complex weaving.
The presented version is suitable only for the owners of the classical square (not shorter than about 20 cm). If the current figure is less, the attached strips will be strongly visible to the surrounding even with a gentle breeze of the wind. Given the growth of natural braids, you will often have to pay for the correction. Most clients of beauty salons are required to visit the master every 2 weeks.
Capsule hair extension for short hair
This technique involves the attachment of purchased treesses to keratin. At the end of each acquired segment is a small ball, which melts under the influence of high temperature and reliably adheres to natural strands. It will be easier to care for such hair, artificial elongation is less noticeable than the ribbon, but the method in question has limitations. Hair extension with capsules on short hair is carried out only for haircuts at the level of the earlobe and below, the ideal option is the carot. In the presence of more "boyish" hairstyles keratinous fastenings will be noticeable.
Microcapsule build-up on short hair
The considered method is the most successful choice for women who want to acquire a smart scythe. This hair extension for short hair is also carried out according to Italian (hot) technology, but very small keratin balls are used for it and gluing is carried out on as narrow areas as possible. Thanks to this, the fastening points are invisible, and the artificial materials look like native ones.
By means of the microcapsule technique, even the bangs are extended to short hair, provided that it is dense and reaches the line of growth of the eyebrows. The minimum size of the basis for this method is 5 cm, but manipulation involves several disadvantages:
- thermal damage by hot tongs;
- high cost of the session;
- It is allowed to look after only special cosmetics;
- laborious process of combing.
Hollywood build-up on short hair
The most sparing and quick variation of the elongation is the sewing of the cracks on a thin French braid pre-braided at the roots. With its help, the safest build-up of short hair is performed - before and after photos show that even prolonged wearing of donor strands does not damage own hair. Tresses can be removed without special cosmetic products.
Hollywood or African hair extension for short hair looks completely invisible, it's easy to care for. Allowed:
- do "horse" tail and intricate weaving, different braids;
- apply masks and balms;
- to be painted, clarified;
- to visit steam rooms and saunas;
- sunbathe.
Hair extension for short thin hair
Attachment of foreign strands is an additional burden on relatives, especially at the roots. Before you can build up short hair for volume, and increase the density of rare or thin horny fibers, it is important to consult a master and choose the most gentle option of manipulation. If you pick up a very aggressive technology, natural hair rods can be damaged, become brittle and begin to fall out intensively.
Due to the danger of increased load, there are restrictions on the additional size:
- If the existing level does not exceed 5-6 cm, after the procedure it will increase approximately to the shoulder line or 2-4 cm below.
- Having a length of about 10-11 cm, it is allowed to build up to 50-52 cm.
- If you want to get smart strands on the waist will have to wait and grow your hair up to 20 cm.
Hair extension for short curly hair
The increase in volume and length is done for all types and strand structures. To select donor materials for waves, large rings or pronounced small curls is more difficult, therefore their cost is impressive. It is important to perform only a qualitative increase in curly hair - the photos before and after the visit to the professional salon are very different from the results of the self-taught work. The described form requires a special approach, assuming a highly qualified master. Curls have a more porous and brittle structure, are prone to drying out, so they should be strengthened with sparing techniques.
There are special rules for hair extension for short hair with curls:
- Use blanks with a natural wave, and not after chemical treatment.
- Selecting raw materials strictly in accordance with the natural color, it is undesirable to subject them to staining or lightening.
- For styling apply only foam, comb and fingers, do not use a curling iron or ironing, do not twist on curlers.
- Carefully comb it twice a day. You can not snap a tape or capsule with a brush, they can come off together with a bunch of live hair rods, including bulbs.
- Daily lubricate the tips with nutrient oil or sprinkle them with vitaminized spray.
Can you build very short hair?
The permissible own length, at which the hairdresser's service looked natural and satisfies all aesthetic requirements - 5 cm. In extremely rare situations, professionals perform the procedure in more emergency cases (about 3-4 cm). Extension to very short hair can be done, but it will be possible to see the places of attachment of the stripes, so such procedures are not carried out. It is important that the areas of connection with donor materials are reliably hidden.
