Hair extensions

• You can walk with such hair for up to 3-4 months, after which correction is necessary.
• The attachment is almost invisible, so extensions can be done even on very thin hair.
• This method allows you to extend hair of any texture - from fine Slavic to silky Asian.
• Hair can be extended pointwise, i.e. only in places where it is necessary, for example, on the temples, bangs, and the back of the head.
• The strands are easy to comb and do not require special care recommendations.

Disadvantages of hot extensions:

• Your hair is exposed to the negative effects of high temperatures when it is heated with a curling iron.
• The strands attached to the capsules put a strain on the hair and can cause thinning.
• The method is not recommended for owners of oily hair type, as the capsules will be destroyed faster.
• The capsules should be protected from high temperatures (protect from direct sunlight, wear a cap in the sauna, use an iron or curling iron carefully) and sea water.

Cold extensions, including capsule extensions, are performed in the salon without heat treatment. This method is considered more gentle and therefore more popular among clients.

Cold hair extensions

Cold hair extensions offer three types of attachment: chemical (Hollywood method), glue (Spanish and tape techniques), and beads (Japanese technology).

Ribbon hair extensions are recommended by beauty salons for individuals who typically wear their hair down. This technique is considered the safest among all existing hair extension methods, as it does not involve the use of harsh chemicals or high temperatures. It can even be performed during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Professional tape extensions can be applied to any hair type. With proper care and regular maintenance, the extensions can last up to 10-12 months. They can be styled, curled, and dyed. They are resistant to water and high temperatures, allowing the wearer to swim and visit saunas or steam rooms without concerns. The extensions distribute the weight evenly, minimizing the risk of hair loss. They can be easily removed whenever desired.

However, there are some drawbacks to this method:

• Certain hairstyles may be limited.
• Regular maintenance is required, typically every 2-3 months.
• It is not possible to dye the roots of regrown hair.
• Special care is needed to ensure the tapes remain securely attached.

The length is added using small-width ribbons, typically 4-6 cm wide. Donor strands are sandwiched between two adhesive tapes and attached to the natural hair. With this method, hair can be extended up to 60 cm in length. The tape method offers different techniques to accommodate the natural hair structure:

1. Hair Talk (German method): Ribbons are 4 cm wide and suitable for short and thin hair. An average of 20 ribbons is required per person. Correction is needed after approximately 9 weeks, and the strands can be reused 4-6 times.
2. Angelo Hair (Italian method): Ribbons are 3 cm wide and made of Slavic hair. They are lightweight, weighing only 1.5 g with a length of 50 cm, making them suitable for even the thinnest and weakest hair. Around 90 strands are needed per person. They do not have a length margin, so the final length will be about 10 cm shorter than the ribbons. Correction is typically required every 7-10 weeks, and the strands can be reattached up to 4 times.
3. Microtapes: Ribbons are 0.5-1.5 cm wide and can be used even with very thin hair. At least 120 pieces are needed for an average volume of hair.

The timing of the correction depends on individual hair growth. For example, with Hair Talk technology, a correction is needed when the roots have grown by approximately 4-5 cm. With microtape extensions, correction is required at around 3 cm of root growth. The correction process involves removing the tapes with a special tool and reattaching them at a higher position. The procedure takes about 40-60 minutes.
