Types of hair extension techniques

There are various techniques for hair extensions available at our beauty salon, which can be broadly categorized as hot and cold methods.

The hot techniques, also known as the English and Italian methods, were developed by master hairdressers from Italy and England. In the English method, the hair extension specialist attaches the strands using hot resin, while in the Italian method, keratin is used. These substances are melted with the help of thermal tongs and then solidify to form transparent capsules. These capsules securely hold the base and extended strands together. On average, around 150 strands are required per person, and the procedure typically takes up to 3 hours. Other methods include micro ring hair extensions and tape hair extensions, each offering unique benefits and application techniques.

Natural looking hair extensions

Hollywood hair extensions were initially used in the film industry to provide actresses with long and beautiful hair for feature films. The technique involved attaching donor strands using adhesive tape, but this method had limitations as the strands were not suitable for combing and had to be removed at the end of the day. Over time, the technique was improved.

Later on, the strands started to be attached to small braids made of natural hair on the back of the head using tresses made of natural cotton threads.

In modern times, keratin capsules are often used as an alternative to tresses. Instead of using high temperatures, the capsules are melted using ultrasound, making the procedure safe and harmless to natural hair. The resulting curls look natural and can be styled and dyed.

However, there are restrictions on certain hairstyles, and this procedure can only be performed if the length of your own hair is at least 20 cm, as the joints may be visible on shorter strands. Additionally, this method may not be suitable for individuals with very thin hair.

The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours, and the hair extensions have a lifespan of approximately 6-8 months, with regular correction required every 1.5-2 months.
