Attaching Hair Extensions – How Hard or Easy Can It Get?
You would never allow yourself not to jump on the chance to look great in seconds, would you? There is no need to fret. We have the answer to your dilemma – hair extensions, the latest hair accessory trend in the fashion industry.
Realistically speaking, no “one” hair extension exists. The accessory can in fact be categorized according to the origin of the hair used, the color, the texture and the manner by which you attach the hair extension. This article will concentrate more on how to put in hair extensions.
The fundamental methods used in putting in hair extensions include clip-ins or clip-ons, braiding, bonding, weaving, fusion, pre-tipped (U or I shaped), and ring X.
A clip-on hair extension utilizes microclips that are attached at one end of the hair extension. You can do this at home, by yourself, without spending additional money on a hairdresser.
With braiding, you simply braid a few hair extension clusters together with your own locks so that both extension and natural hair are entwined together and securely attached. There is more than one type of braiding technique that varies depending on the hairdresser’s skill.
Other hair extensions need bonding glue to be applied at one end so that the glued tip will stick securely on your hair root. The process is called bonding. You can equate the method with attaching false eyelashes. There’s nothing complicated about it at all. Removing the hair extensions is easy, but you need to use a special glue remover designed for such purpose.
Weaving, which is the most popular form of attaching hair extensions, is when tracks or cornrows of your natural hair are made close to the scalp then the hair extensions are sewn or weaved into these tracks. Some experts assert that if you have badly damaged hair, this might be the best method of putting on a hair extension because your real hair will be enclosed in the hair extensions.
Fusion and the “hot glue gun” method mean the same thing. You use a hot glue gun to attach the hair extensions. Before attempting to fasten the hair extensions, you apply some hot glue onto them. This labor-intensive method can easily eat up 6 hours of your time.
Pre-tipped hair extensions are sold with a small amount of glue already attached to one end of the hair extension. These are attached with the aid of a special applicator.
Ring X is said to be a relatively new method of attachment. Here, the extensions already have cute metallic rings fastened to one end. You then use a special tool so that the metallic rings can be attached to your own hair.
The clip-on procedure is quite easy, but the rest are better handled by a professional hairdresser. Bear in mind that attaching the extension the wrong way can damage both your hair and the hair accessory.
