Hot hair extensions capsules - Pros and Cons

The goal of any hair extensions is to give length, thickness and volume to a head of hair. The result depends on the quantity and quality of the strands that are attached to the native curls. The essence of the hot method lies in the thermal effect on the composition, with the help of which the hair becomes longer. Such a build-up is considered to be slightly less benign than the cold method, where heating is not required.

Features of the procedure

Donor strands are fixed in the root zone with the help of transparent capsules with molten keratin. The content was not chosen randomly: it resembles the material that is included in the structure of the hair shafts. Due to this, the native curls are not damaged. The fastening process is carried out with the help of special tongs. When heated to 90–180 ° C, they stick a heated capsule to a selected area of ​​hair. After cooling in the root zone, a miniature transparent plate appears, which is almost imperceptible on the hair.

The length and number of strands is a matter of taste. They can be mounted in any order, even chaotically. This is useful if you only need to thicken the top of the head or another part of the head. Hot method ensures reliable fixation. Sponged strands seem to merge with relatives - they can be combed, curled, blow-dried, laid. Correction will be needed in about 2-4 months, when your hair will begin to grow noticeably.

Attention! You can not self-correct this hairstyle or remove donor strands. You need to have at least a little experience in this matter, as well as a set of necessary tools and materials.

The price of capsular capacity depends on many factors. This is the quantity and quality of donor curls (including their length), a specific method, which with a hot method may be several, the qualification of the master, the region of the location of the salon.

An approximate guideline for those who even do not have an idea of ​​how much a service costs is from 8,000 rubles per 100 strands 40 centimeters long. The maximum amount can reach 30-40 thousand rubles. As a rule, such money has to be paid for a set of 200 strands of 70 centimeters long each.

By the way. Slavic hair is considered the most popular for extension.

Contraindications

Extend hair donor curls can not all. Discard the procedure if you:

• suffer from diseases of the scalp,
• have weakened, damaged, abundantly falling hair,
• Are the owner of sensitive skin or oily strands,
• taking antibiotics, hormones,
• treat vascular disease or IRR,
• waiting for the baby,
• have not reached the 16th anniversary. At this age, it is easy to damage the hair with any radical experiments.

Attention! Extension is possible if your native hair is longer than 5 centimeters. For individual methods, this indicator is reduced to 1–3 centimeters.

Types of technology

Any procedure for hot hair extensions is carried out using one of two methods: English or Italian. Since the advent of each of these technologies has acquired several varieties. During the procedure, which is carried out "in English", the donor bundles are fixed with a glue gun tucked in with keratin resin. In the place of fixation remains a small ball. Find out why this method is safe for hair and how to care for hair extensions.

Italian technique It is considered more popular than English. She appeared later, but already many girls fell in love with this technology, which allows them to make the appearance of their hairstyle almost perfect.The extensible strands look more natural, including due to the fact that the capsules used are adjusted to the native color of the hair. As it often happens, high quality is associated with a considerable cost of service. We will talk about other advantages and disadvantages of the Italian method, and also explain in detail the features of the technology.

One of the most laborious in the work is considered microcapsular extension. In this case, very small capsules and very thin locks are used. Due to this, the load on the hair is reduced. The risk of hair damage is minimal, so the extension technique is suitable for owners of thin curls. Extension of strands is possible with Extend Magic and Microbellargo. What is the difference between them and what kind of dirty tricks to expect from microcapsule technology - learn from our review with the training video.

Recuperative build-up with almost no restrictions is no longer an invention, but a reality made possible by Diamond Hair. In the adhesive composition there are diamond particles that strengthen the hair, improve their condition. Microscopic capsules of 1–2 millimeters in size reliably hide in a hairstyle that becomes not only longer, but also thicker. Girls who choose this method can safely visit the sauna, swimming pool, solarium. This is a significant advantage of Diamond Hair over other hot technologies. Other features of the technique are presented in the detailed material with photos, allowing to visually assess the results of building.

To extend strands is half the battle. It is also necessary to take care that they look good, do not get tangled and resemble the relatives as much as possible, rather than donor ones.. Capsules, attached by an experienced master, will hold much better if you listen to the recommendations of experts, Assess all the risks for yourself and learn the details of the technology. We suggest finding out all this information from our article devoted to keratin extensions. Read how quickly correction will be needed, and to whom this technique is strictly contraindicated.

Who should not do capsular extension?

No matter how much you want to become a long-haired beauty, you should strictly observe the precautions. Remember that building is contraindicated:

• with weak hair and baldness, so as not to aggravate the situation,
• people suffering from diseases of the scalp, such as psoriasis, fungus, eczema, seborrhea, as well as the presence of fresh wounds, abrasions, scratches,
• while waiting for the baby and in adolescence, as the hair in this period is very fragile, brittle and thin,
• during chemotherapy procedures, frequent and severe headaches, migraines, regular antibiotics and hormones.

If you have not found in the above list of items that relate to you personally, you can safely proceed to the next step, namely, the choice of capsular extension technology.

How is the process of hair extensions capsules?

Capsule hair extension technology can take from two to four hours and includes many nuances. In general, it can be divided into three stages:

Stage number 1

After listening to your wishes, the specialist will select the most suitable version of the strands depending on the desired length and thickness, prepare them and calculate the cost of the procedure. Approximately it will be from ten to fifteen thousand rubles (one hundred strands forty centimeters long are taken into account).

Stage number 2

Hair should be washed with shampoo, without using additional masks or balms. If the client wants to change the hair color, painting should be done before lengthening the curls. It is also very important to properly divide into zones - because the build-up is carried out only at the back of the head and temples, bypassing the head area.

Stage number 3

As already mentioned, the artificial strand has a small keratin, glue or resin capsule at its base.Heating it with special tools (or in hands) to a soft state, the master gets the opportunity to fasten a lock with real hair, having previously stepped a centimeter from the roots. The smaller the size of the capsules and the thinner the strands, the more convenient it will be for the client to care for the hair and the easier it is to make the desired styling.

The hairstyle made by the capsular way turns out magnificent, volume and long remains. Then, at will, the strands are removed or a correction is made.

The correction process is similar to the elongation itself and involves the removal, recapsulation of existing material and the new fixing of the strands. Most often, this procedure goes into half the cost of the building itself, but it can’t be avoided.

Failure to comply with the timing of the correction is fraught with breaking off your own hair and the formation of the so-called "bird's nests", which only scissors can cope with. And is it worth saying that capsules are visible on the grown hair, and this gives you an untidy look?

Frequently asked questions

And now let's move on to the important nuances. Let's look at what issues interest beautiful women who want to lengthen their hair with capsules, the most!

What hair extensions to choose - tape or capsular?

Lengthening hair with ribbons is considered a cold method - donor strands are attached to the hair without heat exposure. Such a procedure hurts its own curls less, takes little time, and it is easy to remove the accumulated strands. The relatively low cost is also an indisputable advantage of hair extensions ribbons.

A significant disadvantage of this method is the set of restrictions: high temperatures, balms, masks and alcohol-containing care products simply simply dissolve the adhesive bond. Another "but" - the correction will have to be done quite often, about every two months.

Hair extension capsules looks very natural and allows you to do any creative styling. Hair can be dyed and curled to your own taste, without the fear of using makeup cosmetics, without fear of “losing” a strand anywhere, like a Cinderella's shoe. The need to make a correction occurs less frequently, except that the process of building up capsules and the subsequent correction will be more laborious and costly than with a tape version.

So let's summarize. If you have badly damaged hair or you are limited in finances, hair extensions with ribbons are ideal. When the strands are healthy enough and you are a lover of fashionable hairstyles or want to look more natural, it is better to choose a capsular build-up.

What are the pros and cons of capsular capacity?

Let's start with the advantages:

• artificial locks are firmly attached to their own hair,
• maximum natural look of curls,
• the ability to even create hairstyles such as the ponytail, due to the inconspicuous attachment point,
• there is an opportunity to increase bangs,
• correction takes place every four to six months,
• donor strands do not weight the hair and do not weaken the hair follicles.

We turn to the disadvantages:

• It is forbidden to apply styling products containing oils, silicones and acids to their hair roots,
• hair extensions require constant and thorough combing, otherwise serious tangles near the capsules cannot be avoided,
• There are reviews of the fair sex, arguing that a hot build up spoils the hair structure.

How to dry hair extensions and how to care for them?

Care for elongated hair is a very important point, which should not be neglected:

• daily carefully unravel the artificial strands,
• purchase cosmetics specifically designed for cleansing artificial hair,
• wash your head upright
• wait until the curls are completely dry before combing them,
• apply styling products from the middle,
• when using styling devices, retreat ten centimeters from the roots in order not to melt the capsules,
• Drying is recommended in a natural way. If you need to use a hairdryer, turn on the cold air mode,
• in order to facilitate combing, purchase special sprays,
• at night, collect hair in a ponytail or braid it.

As you can see, it is quite simple to grow hair and become the owner of a gorgeous shiny haystack. However, increased curls require special care and compliance with a number of precautionary measures. But believe me, enthusiastic looks and stunning compliments are worth it to try on the image of a long-haired mermaid at least once in your life!

Is it all so cloudless - you ask. Of course, there is no here, too, to pay for beauty, with the same beauty, more precisely with the health of your hair. No matter what the builders say about the harmlessness of the procedure, this is not quite the case. Of course, strong and healthy hair with proper adherence to technology and periodic "rest" does not cause much harm.

But for the weak, prone to falling out and with weak roots - this will be an unbearable burden. Loss of your own hair is uniquely intensified and you definitely notice after removing. And what do many girls do when they notice the striking differences between “was-become”? That's right, urgently make a new build-up, so as not to see this horror. A vicious circle that will only negatively affect your hair.

What is capsular hair extension

This is the method of fastening the donor strand by means of a keratin or glue capsule, which is placed under your hair and fastened with the help of softening or clamping.

Capsular capacity is done in two ways - hot and cold. In the first case, the attachment of donor strands is performed by heating the adhesive substance of the capsule, and in the second - without thermal exposure.

Types of capsular hair extensions

Heating during hot buildup is direct or remote.

The direct method is the contact heating of keratin attachment along with the strand. This method of thermal exposure is used in the following types of capsular capacity:

• German - Bellargo,
• Italian hair extensions with keratin capsules - Euro So Cap,
• diamond - Diamond Hair,
• powdery - Dream Hair,
• microlining - Extend Magic.

hot capsular hair extensions

The remote method is non-contact heating of keratin. Based on it:

• English hair extensions gun,
• laser.

cold capsular hair extensions

Cold capsular extension is the attachment of donor strands without heat treatment. It is glue and keratin.

Glue is the formation of a capsule from a special glue or gel. This type of extension strands include:

• Spanish - Ice Extension,
• French or nano build-up - Le Cristal de Paris.

Cold keratin build-up is done only by ultrasound.

Advantages and disadvantages

There is no such procedure, which consists only of some advantages. So let's find out what qualities capsular capacity has. He has many advantages, however, you can only feel them for yourself if the procedure is carried out correctly.

1. Long term socks - 4-5 months.
2. It can be done not only on the entire form of a haircut, but also on its individual elements, for example, only on the bangs.
3. To build on the capsules are used only natural hair. Artificial strands are not used for long-term wear, as they deteriorate quickly.
4. Suitable for short haircuts. The minimum length of their hair to perform building on the capsules is 4 centimeters.
5. Does not limit the wearing of “licked” tails or collected hairstyles.
6. With proper care, one set of extended strands can be applied 2–3 times.
7. It is allowed to conduct the same procedures as for its hair - dyeing, toning, perming or straightening.
8. You can visit the pool, bath, swim in the sea, sunbathe under the sun or in the solarium.
9. Capsule extensions can be performed on the same day with staining or long-term care procedures. However, all work with dyes must be completed before building up. Since the keratin capsule does not miss the pigment, so when removing it at the place of its attachment there will be a spot of a different color.
10. The structure of donor strands as much as possible is selected for your hair type. Wavy curls can be used to build on the capsules, but you need to work with them very carefully. It is necessary to combine the direction of the curls of donor and their strands.

photo before and after

But despite the solid list of positive qualities, capsular capacity has some drawbacks.

1. The procedure takes a long time - about 4 hours when working with standard capsules and 10–12, if using micro.
2. Impossible to do it yourself.
3. Removal or correction lasts almost as long as the capsular build-up itself.
4. Need extra care.
5. Capsules should not be worn if the strands holding them have grown more than 5 centimeters, even when they are firmly hooked. Replenishing leads to thinning and tearing off of your hair, sometimes with bulbs.

Is hair extensions on capsules harmful? All types of procedures have one general contraindication - loss and signs of alopecia. Despite the very small weight of the added strand, which healthy follicles easily withstand, it pulls down weakened bulbs, which further aggravates the loss of density. Otherwise, with a properly performed procedure, the hair is not harmed.

Can I grow hair on capsules during pregnancy? Yes, since the hormonal background does not affect the durability and quality of mechanical fastening. If during this period there is no hair loss, then there are no other restrictions.

What is required for hair extensions on capsules

For each type of attachment of donor strands need different tools and materials. However, there are those that apply in all ways.

What tools are needed for hair extensions on capsules?

1. Deep Cleaning Shampoo is a cleanser that removes surface contamination, opens scales and defats hair.
2. Capsule tongs are a special metal tool that has three notches on the plates of different sizes — 5, 4, or 3 millimeters. It is used for building and encapsulation of removed hair or cuts. They are clamped softened keratin to get neat capsules of the same size.
3. A separating disk is a plastic circle with a slot in the middle to isolate the strands when building. It is used to ensure that glue or molten keratin does not get on the rest of the hair. It also protects the scalp from burns in case of accidental contact with heating tools.
4. Hairdressing clips - needed to fix the separating disc and the part of the hair, which is not accrued strands. To hold the disc using flat clips of small size.
5. Capsule removal tongs is a metal device with corrugated plates for breaking glue or keratin mounts.
6. Comb with a thin tail for the separation of strands.

But since there are different types of capsular hair extensions, so each method will require its own additional tools and consumables.

1. Bellargo is a hot hair extension, which is done with the help of special keratin shells. You will need a hook for threading strands, hollow keratin tubes of small diameter, electrical heating tongs with a rounded notch in the plates to clamp the sleeves and keep their shape.
2. Euro So Cap is a hot method of attaching donor strands. In addition to the basic tools, electrical heating tongs with straight plates are additionally needed.
3. Diamond Hair is a hot buildup, an analogue of Euro So Cap - the technology of implementation, as well as the tools used are the same. The difference is that Diamond Hair uses capsules with diamond microparticles to increase attachment strength.
4. Extend Magic is a hot extension method that is performed using a special machine - Extend Magic Grip. This is a tool with heating plates and a replaceable cartridge, inside of which there is a tape for feeding micro-doses of heated keratin.
5. Dream Hair is a hot buildup with keratin powder. Heat treatment is carried out with the same tongs as for Euro So Cap.
6. Ice Extension is a cold method of fastening, which uses a special two-component adhesive for building - Rueber. The first phase - forms a capsule, the second - an activator, which is used directly during the attachment of donor to their strands. For removal, a special Remover is used, which softens the glue capsule.
7. Le Cristal de Paris is a cold buildup. For fastening strands using a special single-phase gel, hardening on the air.

In addition, all cold methods of extension are performed using special ultrasonic tongs tuned to a specific frequency. They break apart keratin capsules with radiation.

And also apply their tools for hot ways, in which there is contactless heating of keratin:

• English hair extensions performed by a special gun, which is filled with keratin in the form of a pencil, and then melted and fed through a thin spout,
• laser hair extensions, performed using a special gun with adjustable beam width, which allows it to attach up to eight capsules simultaneously.

How many strands and capsules for hair extensions

To accurately determine the required number of attached strands, you need to consider several factors.

1. The length and density of their hair. The shorter and thicker they are, the more donor strands will be needed to hide the difference between them.
2. Type of capsules used, which are standard size, mini and micro.
3. Type of extension - classic for the entire shape of a haircut or zonal.
4. Hair shape. Curly and wavy strands visually voluminous straight, so often they need less.
5. Hair color. The lighter they are, the more visible all the flaws.

Therefore, how many strands you need for hair extensions capsules, is determined based on specific parameters.

What are the capsules for hair extensions? There are three sizes:

• standard - 5 ml
• mini - 4 ml,
• micro (nanocapsules) - 3 ml.

How many grams of hair is used in one capsule for extension depends on the length of the donor strand and the size of the attachment. On average, one standard strand 50 cm long with a typical capsule weighs 0.94 grams. How many grams of hair do you need to build on the capsules? For a complete classic method, you need about 100 strands with a standard capsule size. Usually, 90–100 grams of donor hair is attached.

How is capsular hair extensions done

The principle of attachment of donor strands in all ways is similar. But before proceeding directly to the implementation of the capsular extension, you need to prepare your hair. How to do it?

To donor strands firmly held, it is necessary to wash your hair with a deep cleansing shampoo from 2 to 5 times. The number of treatments depends on the degree of contamination and the type of hair. Balms or conditioners can not be applied. Then you need to thoroughly dry your head with a hair dryer with brushing in the form of a haircut.

After the hair is prepared, it is necessary to separate the areas for attachment.There is no definite scheme for how to properly grow hair on the capsules. There is only one condition - they must be fastened exactly along the horizontal partings. There should be no “chess order”, otherwise the accrued strands will be very confused among themselves. In order to make capsules as unobtrusive as possible, they are matched to the color of their hair, and also recede from a border of 2–3 centimeters.

Euro So Cap, Diamond Hair and Dream Hair

The technology of hair extensions - Italian Euro So Cap, diamond Diamond Hair and powdered Dream Hair is performed the same way with the same tongs.

1. Make a horizontal parting.
2. Separate the sharp end, worn on the ring finger strand, the same width as the capsule.
3. Thread your hair into the hole and secure the separating disc with two metal flat clips.
4. If Dream Hair is made, the donor strand is dipped into keratin powder, and then enclosed under its own and clamped with heated forceps. When building with Euro So Cap or Diamond Hair, ready-made capsules are used, so they are immediately connected to their hair and clamped between hot plates.
5. After the keratin has melted, take the forceps to form the capsules and, until it has stiffened, quickly clamp it in the slot of the required size. Fill in capsules the necessary areas on the head. If required, trim their uneven tips.

When performing a classic build-up, the parietal zone is not affected.

German hair extensions Bellargo

1. Insert a 3-4 mm thick strand into the separating disc.
2. Crochet hook and tie a knot of his hair.
3. Stretch the strand into the hole in the sleeve with a hook.
4. A donut strand of mini size (4 mm) is to be crocheted into a knot and a keratin sheath installed on top.
5. Use heated tongs with a rounded notch on the plates to clamp the sleeve above and below.

After attaching all the strands, comb your hair and trim the tips that are out of the general mass.

Microcapsular hair extensions Extend Magic

Molten keratin is served by micro doses on a special tape. When squeezed by the machine, he connects his and hair extensions, forming a microcapsule.

1. Combine the donor and its strands 3 millimeters thick.
2. Pinch the Extend Magic Grip.
3. Molten keratin, which was formed on their own and donor hair, twist with two fingers into a capsule.

Laser hair extensions

1. On a special ruler, similar to a comb, lay out the encapsulated donor strands, and on top of them your hair.
2. Insert the ruler into a special groove and turn on the device. The laser beam softens the capsule and at the same time forms a new groove in the ruler.

The device for laser extension is capable of attaching at once to 8 strands.

English hair extensions

This method is performed by a special gun, filled with keratin, which is melted and then dripped into place of attachment.

1. Insert the keratin sticks into the hole of the instrument.
2. Separate your strand disc.
3. Combine donor hair with your own.
4. Drop a small dose of keratin.
5. Clamp forceps to form capsules and hold until the material is completely cooled.

Hot keratin is viscous, viscous, so you need to make sure that it does not hit the other hair and glue it.

Spanish hair extension Ice Extension

The technique of cold hair extensions on capsules requires high speed due to the rapid curing of the material.

1. Form adhesive capsules from the cut of the hair.
2. Insert your strand in the separation disc.
3. Combine your and donor strands.
4. Drip on the adhesive capsule activator to soften it.
5. Tighten with forceps to form capsules until the material is frozen.

We must work very quickly, because when the reaction with air, the capsule hardens again. Re-softening it with an activator will lead to the fact that it does not solidify to the end.

Ultrasound extension

This is a cold way of hair extensions.

1. Your hair is separated with a separating disc and aligned with the encapsulated donor strand.
2. The mount is clamped with forceps and a capsule is quickly formed.

Ultrasonic radiation "breaks" keratin into microparticles that need to be quickly "collected." If you do not have time to give shape, then the capsule will have to change.

French hair extensions Le Cristal de Paris

This cold method is also called nano hair extensions.

1. Its thin strand is separated by a disk.
2. It is combined with micronuclei from a cut.
3. Gel is applied. Its drop should be no more than a grain of rice.
4. Microcapsule is formed by forceps.

If the crystallization of the gel occurred earlier, then you need to remove it, and then make a new mount.

Correction and removal of capsular hair extensions

The capsules that have grown by 5 centimeters need to be removed and fastened again to the donor strand. How to remove the capsular extension? This will require special corrugated tongs for crushing capsules. And also liquid for removal of building. It is available in bottles with a spray or a thin nose for point application, which is convenient for partial removal of donor strands on certain areas of the head. It is called - “Liquid for gentle removal of extended natural hair (keratin capsules)”. To remove the cold build-up on adhesive capsules, use another liquid - Remover to soften the fasteners.

It is not necessary to wash your hair before removing the capsules, since it is still soiled with keratin and liquid residues.

1. Separate and carefully pinch those areas of the hair where there were no donor strands.
2. Apply the liquid to the capsules for removal. With full removal of keratin extensions, it is convenient to use a spray gun, since its treatment area is larger. In case of partial removal of keratin capsules (for example, to replace the shade of color highlighting), it is necessary to apply the liquid pointwise using a thin cone-shaped spout. If the capsules to be removed are in contact with other fixtures, they must be insulated so as not to damage the adjacent ones. To do this, you can use pieces of food film or hairdresser foil.
3. Leave the liquid for 10-15 minutes.
4. Try crushing the capsule with forceps. If she “chewed up” easily, then continue withdrawing. But when the capsule is poorly crushable, it is necessary to repeat the treatment with liquid, increasing the holding period for another 10 minutes.
5. Remove all donor strands.
6. Comb with frequent teeth gently comb through the area after removal of donor hair. With a strong entanglement, you can apply a spray or oil to facilitate combing.

After this procedure, you should immediately wash your head thoroughly, since the liquid for softening the capsules degreases the hair, which is fraught with dryness and peeling on the skin.

How to encapsulate hair for extension

When re-building the removed strands they need to be processed and replaced mount. This applies only to those methods that use hair with a finished capsule. In order for the donor strand to hold well and individual hairs do not stretch out of it, you need to wash the capsule installation site with a deep cleansing shampoo several times. To do this, remove the strands need to be fastened in the middle with a rubber band in the tail, placing all the old fasteners on one side (they do not need to be cut yet to minimize hair waste). Then wash and dry completely to avoid wet areas. When drying a hair dryer, be sure to keep the hair old capsules down. After drying, carefully untie the gum and sort the strands into long and short.

To correct the extension, which does not require ready-to-be-encapsulated hair, tie the strands tightly with rubber bands and simply remove the old fixture with an even cut.

How to encapsulate hair for extension? To replace the keratin capsule will require:

• forceps Euro So Cap,
• forceps for capsule formation,
• keratin granules corresponding to the color of their hair,
• sharp scissors for cutting off the old fastening and leveling the formed capsule.

How to perekapsulirovat hair to build?

1. Heat the tongs to 200 ° C.
2. Put on the plate keratin granules - for standard size - 3 pcs., Mini - 2 pcs., If micro - 1 pc.
3. Take a strand of the desired thickness, cut off the old capsule. The tip of the cut (somewhere half a centimeter) several times between the plates of the forceps to liquid keratin penetrated between all the hairs.
4. Place the softened capsule in the groove of the desired size and clamp it with forceps to form.
5. After cooling the material, pull out the resulting capsule and cut the keratin out of the forceps with scissors.

After replacing the keratin mounts, tie the strands at the base of the capsules with a rubber band into the tail, wash, mask or balm, dry, straighten with an iron if the extensions are initially straight. Wavy and curly simply dry and wax to give texture.

Replacing glue capsules is easier. To do this, drop the strand with glue on the cut and clamp it with forceps to form capsules.

How long the capsular hair extension will last after the correction depends on the processing of the removed strands.

Errors in hair extensions capsules

On the Internet you can find a lot of negative reviews about capsular hair extensions. But they are all related to errors when performing this procedure. Let's find out what the consequences may be due to some violations of technology.

the capsules slide off their hair

1. The capsule crawls with all the donor strand. This can occur in two cases - the head was not sufficiently flushed before the procedure or the temperature of the forceps was too low to build.
2. The capsule is in place, but a lot of donor hair is combed out of it. This happens if the forceps for the formation of capsules poorly clamp the softened attachment material.
3. When lying down, the capsule is stuck into the scalp. This happens if you too much pulled your hair while attaching the donor strand.
4. The expanded strands come off with the bulbs of their hair. Contraindications were not taken into account - the build-up was carried out with the existing signs of alopecia. When the follicles are initially weak, the donor strand will pull them out of the skin. But if there was no loss of thickness before the procedure, and the hair comes off with the roots, this means that the strand on which the capsule was attached was taken too thin and simply could not bear the weight of the accretion.

To avoid all the negative consequences, you must strictly follow the technological rules of procedure.

So that we don’t have to do a correction before the allotted time or even remove donor strands at all, they need care. Especially for hair extensions released a series of products - J-Line, which is sold in stores of professional cosmetics. It contains everything necessary for proper care:

• gentle cleansing shampoo
• split oil silicone oil,
• serum with hydrolyzed argan oil,
• light air conditioning for frequent use
• mask for powering hair extensions, which should be applied once every 7–10 days.

When hit on capsules, these funds do not weaken them.

And also it is necessary to take into account that you can wash your head with a capsular extension only by tilting it back so that the hair does not get tangled when turned over.

Differences capsular from other ways of building

It often happens that the decision to increase the length or thickness with the help of donor strands has already been made, but the difficulty is the choice of a particular method, so let's find out what are the differences between different fastening technologies.

What kind of hair extension is better - capsular, Hollywood or tape? There is no universal way that fits all equally.Capsule extension is fastening by thin strands of 3-5 millimeters. Tape - this is a wide flat strands of 2.5–5 centimeters. A Hollywood - this interweaving tress, whose width is determined by the size of the head.

photo before and after

The fastest fastening procedure is ribbons, but the correction will have to be done more often - once in 1–1.5 months. Hollywood build-up is created longer, but the correction is carried out less often - once every 2-3 months. Most of the time it takes the process of hair extensions capsules, sometimes it takes up to 12 hours, but the correction is performed once every 4-5 months.

Tape and Hollywood are more suitable for building on the average length and thickness of their hair. Capsular does not have these restrictions, it is made even on short hair, as well as on individual elements of hair, for example, to extend only bangs. Therefore, what method is better to perform depends on the parameters of the haircut on which the strands are attached.

Frequently asked questions

Capsule hair extensions are a popular procedure for adding donor strands, so it raises many questions that customers ask hairdressers. We will try to answer the most popular ones.

1. How to make capsular hair extensions at home? Can I take it off yourself? This procedure is not intended to be performed at home. To conduct it should only master, trained.
2. Does your hair ruin after building on capsules? Under the conditions of fastening and removal of donor strands, the condition of their hair does not change. What they were before building up, will remain the same. To spoil their structure is possible only with gross violations of the removal of capsules.
3. How many strands do you need to build on thin hair? The shorter the hairstyle and the smaller the size of the capsules used, the more they will be required. For fine hair, when attaching standard capsules, an average of 80 strands is sufficient.
4. How long does the hair grow on the capsules? The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the capsules and their number. Classic build-up with standard capsules takes 4 hours on average.
5. Is the capsule visible after the extension? So that they are invisible, it is indented from the edge line of hair growth - from the bottom and from the sides. And also the color of keratin capsules is selected - it should match the tone with its hair as much as possible.

Concluding the article, we summarize. Capsular hair extensions are a method of attaching donor strands with keratin or special glue. There are many subtypes of the procedure and a separate tool is used for each. Correction is carried out when the capsules grow by 5 centimeters or after about 4–5 months. To do this, donor strands are removed, they change the capsule, and then repeated fastening procedure is carried out. To care for hair extensions created a special series of gentle action - J-Line. Capsular extension of donor strands is a good way to quickly change your image. But to make it yourself is impossible, because it requires professional hairdressing skills. All the negative consequences of the procedure, which can be found reviews on the Internet, are associated with a violation of technology implementation. Therefore, you need to trust your hair only to a proven master who has undergone special training and has relevant work experience.

Types of hair extensions

Hair extensions through capsules are carried out in a hot way, the indisputable advantage of which is to ensure durable bonding of artificial strands. Due to this, they retain their attractiveness for a long time without breaking or falling out. Therefore, reviews of capsular hair extensions in most cases positive.

There are the following types of capacity:

1. Italian Keratin capsules are used for this procedure. Strands are glued in them.With this method, hair extensions are most often carried out on short hair, since the attachment of artificial curls is made directly to the roots, after which they are soldered using special equipment. How does hair extensions look for short hair can be seen in the photo in our article.
2. English This method is very similar to the previous one. But in this case, resin is used as the glue base. The English way is safer than Italian. This is due to the low melting point of the resin compared to that required for keratin treatment.
3. Micro capsular. The main difference of this type is the tiny size of the capsules and a small thickness of the strands. This technique is often used to eliminate baldness in men. The micro capsular method allows you to give your hair extra volume and desired length without significant damage to your own hair.

Features technology extensions

The procedure can not be called very complex, but at the same time it has its own characteristics. By the time the whole process can take 2-4 hours depending on the total number of attached strands. With this technology, you can increase the length of their spans to 90 cm.

Each donor strand is equipped with a small capsule, which is warmed up to a plastic state prior to attachment to the hair on the head. During this process, it is given a certain shape - round or flat - depending on the type of natural hair that is required to grow.

The hairstyle made with the help of hot extensions lasts up to 3-4 months. After this time, donor strands are removed, for which harmless compounds are used.

Correction after building

Under the correction refers to the consolidation of new capsules and the addition of additional strands. This procedure is very similar to the extension technology. Its only difference is that before you secure the new capsules, you should remove the old ones. To do this, the master applies a special solution to the places of their fastening and distributes the strands in partings, after which he pulls out the capsules one by one with the help of a special tool. At the end of the procedure, the remains of pitch or keratin are carefully combed out.

If necessary, after removing the donor curls, a correction is performed using new strands. Reapply old ones are not recommended for the sole reason that during wear they thin out by at least 30%. But you can buy hair for building on the capsules, which can withstand up to 3-4 corrections depending on care.

Conducting capacity - 2 ways

Keratin is considered the substance that makes up female skin and hair. Keratin connects the hair pieces with each other (so, if a girl has split ends, then her body lacks keratin).

In the case of an Italian builder, the master glues a keratin capsule to the hair roots, heats it in a few seconds, and then patch curls on it.

Hairdressers fix the junction of the capsule and female curls with forceps - and as a result, keratin becomes cold - freezes, and natural and artificial hairs firmly stick together with each other.

The master's hair extensions are made using a keratin polymer. As a result, the gluing places are invisible, and the joints are strong.

Hairdressers are increasing the head of hair of girls who have South Russian (Russia), Slavic (in Ukraine) and European (US) hair types. The difference between them is rather big, therefore the cost of the procedure is 3000 - 5000 r.

Hairdressers increase only women's hair, the length of which is at least 8 cm. In this situation, the craftsmen also take into account the condition of the strands and their color.

Cold Italian tape extensions are considered a more modern and safe cosmetic procedure.

When conducting a similar hairdressing procedure, the masters perform the following actions:

• combing female hair and divide it into strands,
• glue tapes with new hairs on the parting sites,
• combing female head of hair with a specific comb.

After undergoing a similar procedure a few months later, the girls adjust their hair again.

Cold buildup has the following advantages:

• short duration of the procedure - 60 min.,
• After this procedure, the girl lives the same life - soared in the sauna, attends tanning salons or swims in the pool.

However, this method of hair removal has the following disadvantages:

1. the occurrence of discomfort. After going through this procedure, the girl feels the weight of “extra” tufts on her head,
2. after passing the procedure, the girls can not use any preparations for the care or styling (foam, balms, masks),
3. a woman should comb her hair only with a specific comb,
4. when leaving in the cold season, the girl should use a special hat,
5. after passing through such a procedure, a girl cannot do a complicated hair-style with the use of a hair dryer or ironing.

According to the professional masters, hair extensions on the capsules do not destroy the natural hair locks.

However, with a hot buildup, many women are afraid of getting a head burn. However, the place of adhesions is also heated, as are various hair straighteners.

With a cold build-up, the girl does not like the use of tapes and glue - in a similar situation, women are afraid of the appearance of allergies on the head.

But according to the masters, such a hairdresser's procedure is safe and hypoallergenic - such rumors are a relic.

Care for hair extensions

Every girl needs to keep in mind that any technology provides only with proper hair care.

So, when caring for hair extensions, a girl can perform the following actions:

• tint and paint the strands with professional paints,
• straighten and curl hair. In such a situation, the hot air should not warm up the capsule and tape, otherwise they will eventually disappear,
• visit the bath, solarium and other similar places.

However, when caring for extended hair, a woman should not perform the following actions:

1. comb out new strands. For some time after hair extensions, hair strands itch and interfere,
2. use radical masks for hair growth (primarily homemade),
3. tidy up a bad hairbrush. In this situation, the girl should use a comb, which is designed specifically for the care of the extended strands.

Masters carry out the extension of women's hair through the use of such professional tools: Estel, Great Lengths, Hair Talk, and they also use trimmers of similar brands.

These companies are engaged in the manufacture of products for extension and hair care products - shampoos, balms, scallops, etc.

As a result, hair extensions on the capsules is an expensive pleasure. However, this procedure gives a long-term effect, which fully pays for its cost.

Required Tools

The main device for hot hair extensions - heating tongs, which fix the hot capsule on the strands. The tool may have a flat work surface or rounded tips. Often, such devices are equipped with convenient functionality: a thermostat, the ability to maintain the temperature at the same level. An alternative to tongs is a glue gun, which is necessary for building up according to the English method.

In addition to this, the wizard uses:

• keratin for capsules that fix bundles. It happens transparent or color (black, brown),
• comb,
• an insulator (also known as a separator), placed under the curls,
• clamps for easy fixing strands,
• forceps and fluid to remove the extended beams - if the result is not satisfied.

You can buy a ready-made set for hot hair extensions. Approximate price - 3-5.5 thousand rubles (depending on the configuration).

How to do at home

Hot hair extensions - a long and painstaking process. Carefully performing the procedure at home is very difficult, especially if you do not enlist the help of an assistant.

If the difficulties do not frighten you, you have studied the technology on video and acquired everything you need, follow the step-by-step algorithm. In addition to the tools for hot build, prepare wax paper, glue box, scissors, ruler, and, of course, the material itself - donor strands.

Next, proceed as follows:

1. Wash your hair without using conditioner, balm.
2. Divide the hair into several zones. Decide where you will attach the strands.
3. Form small bundles of hair for extension. Thin will look especially natural. To the hairs are not stuck and not confused, do the work on wax paper.
4. Prepare keratin glue. How to do this - tell the instructions.
5. Put the tips of the strands into it. Pulling them out, lightly press the edges with glue, forming small capsules. Place all bundles on wax paper, leave to dry. Depending on your goals, you will need 70–200 strands.
6. Pierce the part of the hair that may interfere with the extension.
7. Put an insulator on your own curl. It looks like a round plate that prevents burns in the root zone. If necessary, secure it with a clip to free your hands.
8. With forceps, heat the tip of hair extensions, which is smeared with glue.
9. Attach the bundle to your own strand, which is wearing an insulator. At the same time make a small indent from the roots.
10. Squeeze both curls with forceps so that the capsule is fixed on the head. It should cool down.
11. Repeat the same with the rest of your hair. For convenience, use a large mirror that will allow you to see your nape.

Council To please you with the result, do not forget the simple truth: your own curls should be well maintained. Before the procedure, cut the tips, make a few nourishing masks, if necessary, dye your hair. With how to properly care for hair extensions, you can find on our website.

Capsular hair extensions: technology procedures

Build-up is a hair salon procedure that involves adding artificial, longer curls to natural hair. Capsule hair extension technology is hot and cold, which option is more suitable for your hair, the master will determine.

The essence of the procedure is that the hairdresser - the stylist fixes the artificial strands with a keratin or resin capsule, which he melts with hot forceps (at a temperature of 180 ° C) or with a special compound (with the cold method). While hardening, the capsules become completely transparent and invisible on the hair, so this method is applicable to any color of hair. Capsules can be of any shape (flat, round), it all depends on the wishes of the client and the option of capacity. Capsules are fixed at a distance of 5-10 mm from the roots, the hot technology is developed in such a way that their heating does not cause any harm to the natural strands. The procedure lasts from 2 to 4 hours, during this time the master builds up about 150 -200 artificial strands.

The popularity of capsular extension lies in the fact that natural and donor strands are connected so neatly that the updated hairstyle looks the most natural way. This ensures the durability of artificial hair, simplicity and security when attaching or removing.Keratin capsules are completely imperceptible and invisible, they provide a strong and reliable attachment and do not require special hair care. Hair extensions look vibrant, soft and silky, they are easy to comb, just like natural curls can be washed with shampoo, cut or dyed in any color.

The number of accrued strands largely depends on the desired effect. It all depends on the original length and density of natural hair. The unique technology allows any experiments, so you can grow hair with strands of different shades and thus get a stunning highlighting effect or in one evening transform from a fragile girl with a short haircut into a languid beauty with long, shiny curls to the waist.

Extended hair needs to be corrected every 2-3 months, since as the hair grows, the capsules with donor strands fall below. During the corrective procedure, the master will transplant the capsules closer to the hair roots.

Varieties of capsular hair extensions

The definition of capsular extension refers to several techniques, which include both hot and cold procedures. Today, beauty salons offer the following types of extensions using capsules:

1. Italian hot build - the most preferred variant of the procedure. It is performed even on short hair (length from 8 cm). The master selects the color and structure of the donor curls in tone to tone with the main hair color. Artificial strand with a keratin capsule at the end is applied to the natural, and clamped with hot forceps heated to 180 ° C. Under the action of high temperature, the capsule melts and becomes flat and inconspicuous. Thus, in 2-3 hours of hard work, a specialist can increase the required number of curls. Usually, 70 donor strands are enough to create volume, for general hair lengthening - from 150 to 200. With the help of Italian technology, even problem areas (in the temples, parting or bangs) can be extended and closed, since keratin capsules become flat and completely invisible. They provide a secure fit, so you can paint and stack accrued strands in any way, feel free to visit the pool, sauna, solarium, without fear that the strands will disappear. At the same time, it is necessary to abandon the use of cosmetics for the care of hair containing silicone, acids or oils in its composition, since their use can destroy the capsule and cause the release of artificial strands.
2. English build. This technique is based on the fact that the stylist collects donor curls by hand and attaches them to slightly heated capsules consisting of organic resins. The English version of the build-up is more complicated in execution, since everything depends on the skill and experience of the master, who must assemble an artificial strand from individual hairs and properly fix the capsule on it. From this will depend on the final result and appearance of hair. If the strand is collected carelessly, the hair will look sloppy. The capsule must also be securely fastened, otherwise the hair will fall out and break off at the attachment points when you first comb it. Another disadvantage of the English method is the shape of the capsule in the form of a grain, which, unlike the Italian flat encapsulation, can make the place of the junction of artificial and natural strands visible. In addition, resin capsules are very sensitive to sudden temperature changes. Therefore, if you go from a frosty street to a hot, heated room, some of the artificial curls can separate.
3. Spanish building. This technique involves the use of ready-made strands, the ends of which are enclosed in capsules of glue.In contrast to the hot Italian extension, the capsules are softened not by hot forceps, but by a special activator fluid. Thus, the Spanish encapsulation is a cold building technology, the advantage of which is that the reliable fixation of the strands is carried out without the use of high temperatures. Glue, placed in capsules, has a stable formula, it is completely safe for skin and hair. The only negative is that when it freezes, it acquires a whitish tint that will be noticeable on dark hair. Therefore, the Spanish extension is used only for blond hair.
4. Ultrasound extension - This is the most modern and safe procedure, which is an improved version of the cold Spanish technology. Only in this case the capsule is melted not by the activating liquid, but by the ultrasonic waves generated by the device operating in the safe range for humans. First, the wizard applies an extensible strand to the hair and with the help of a special ultrasonic nozzle melts keratin, then the forceps, which form the flat capsule shape, are used. This allows the extended strands to look natural as the keratin capsule becomes completely invisible.
5. Microcapsular capacity - This technique is ideal for thin and short hair and allows the procedure even in the area of ​​the temples and bangs. With the usual build-up, the encapsulated strands can feel quite heavy and provoke a feeling of tightness of the skin. Over time, such exposure can lead to thinning, weakening and loss of natural hair. The advantage of microencapsulation is that the strands used are 3-4 times smaller than the standard size, respectively, and the keratin or resin capsule is quite small and light, but the strength of the connection remains high. Using this technique, you can artificially extend the bangs and the connections will be completely invisible. Thus, microencapsulation is the best option for owners of rare, thin and brittle hair.

Features care for hair extensions

Hair after capsular extension need special care. Stylists recommend to treat the updated hairstyle and follow a few basic recommendations:

• Before washing your hair, carefully unravel the hair with your hands or comb it with a comb with sparse teeth.
• Do not brush the strands with a regular comb or brushes with rounded teeth, as this may damage the capsules. To care for hair extensions, it is best to purchase a special comb.
• For shampoos, use shampoos that contain no silicone or fatty component.
• Masks and hair balms based on oils (natural or synthetic) should not be used; this can dissolve the keratin capsule and provoke the rejection of artificial strands.
• It is recommended to wash the head only in an upright position, without tilting forward, that is, under a shower. You can not go to bed with a wet head, otherwise the hair will become tangled and combing them in the morning will be impossible.
• Do not brush wet hair, wait until it dries naturally.
• All cosmetic and styling products (balsams, gels) should be applied to the hair, backing away from the roots, so as not to damage the capsule.
• During hot styling (hair dryer or ironing), exert an effect 10 cm away from the scalp, otherwise the capsule will melt under the influence of high temperature. Hair styling hair styling is prohibited.

Correction and removal of extended curls

Every three months, as hair regrowth, a correction should be made. Capsules provide a very strong connection, so donor curls hold on for a long time.Gradually, the area of ​​joining artificial and natural strands falls and the junction becomes noticeable to others. During the adjustment master with the help of special formulations dissolves the capsules and detaches the accumulated curls without harm to the hair. To eliminate the remnants of keratin, natural hair is carefully combed out with a comb with frequent teeth. Then new capsules are attached to the donor strands, and they are fixed anew closer to the roots. Such correction can be carried out up to 4 times a year, everything will depend on how quickly natural hair grows.

Remove the capsular hair extensions can be in the salon or independently, at home. Do this procedure in several ways:

1. The most effective option involves the use of a gel-revomer designed specifically for this purpose. This tool costs about 500 rubles and is sold in specialized stores. Each capsule must be processed destructive gel, and then break the forceps and gently remove from the hair. Carrying out such a procedure yourself is problematic, it is best to contact the salon, where an experienced master will correctly and correctly carry out the procedure, which will help avoid negative consequences for the hair.
2. At home, it is better to put on the capsule vegetable oil, a mask on a fatty basis, or fat cream, and gradually, as the capsules soften, remove them from the hair.
3. This method consists in heating the capsules with a curling iron or a hair dryer. As a result, they soften and can be removed. But this is a rather dangerous option, because if misused, it can cause damage to the hair and burn the scalp.

After all the capsules have been removed, the hair should be carefully combed, the head should be rinsed well with shampoo and medical balm should be applied to the hair.

Types and technology extensions

There are the following types of capacity:

1. Italian or hot,
2. English is hotter too
3. Spanish cold
4. Ultrasound.

Italian considered the most popular and durable. This technology uses keratin capsules, in which strands are glued. A special feature of capsular keratin hair extensions is that it is often used for short strands. The attachment is made directly to the roots (keep this in mind when going through the procedure - many unscrupulous craftsmen attach the capsule much lower). After the master solders the curls - for this, special equipment is used - the tool looks like a curling iron. After the session, you can go home.

Besides the classic hot, there is also microcapsule capacity. It differs from the Italian capsule size and thickness of the strands. A unique feature of this technique is that it is even used to eliminate bald patches in men. Extend Magic Micro-Wax allows you to thicken your hairstyle, remove balding patches and give length to curls with minimal damage to natural hair.

Photo - Microcapsules

English very similar to Italian, but here resin is used as a glue base for curls. This type of building is safer than Italian, because for heating and melting resins a lower temperature is required than for heating keratin. In addition, when frozen, keratin forms various forms. Sometimes sharp corners can cause discomfort. The pitch is softer, so it does not prick the scalp.

Hot build looks good and holds, but requires special care:

1. You can not warm the capsules, otherwise they will melt and curls fall out,
2. It is forbidden to go into the steam rooms and saunas, to wash your hair with very hot water,
3. It is necessary to avoid flattening, curling and some styling procedures.

Capsuleless Spanish or Hollywood build-up is the safest technology. From the title it is clear that it is made without capsules.Others strands are glued together with glue to each other, after which they are glued on their curls with the same composition. This method does not increase short (even elongated bob) and dark hair, because the glue becomes noticeable when it hardens - it brightens. Naturally, this is also the reason for some restrictions on choosing hairstyles.

Ultrasound extension minimally spoils the natural hair. Here the capsule is heated and softened with the help of temperature and ultrasonic pulses. Due to this curls are not in contact with the hot tool. It is made for all kinds of strands: Slavic, Asian, European and others. The uniqueness lies in the fact that the curls are mounted on a centimeter below the roots. Buy tools for ultrasonic extension can be in professional cosmetic stores. Their average cost is up to 100 y. e.

Incremental build-up

The method of building all kinds of similar.

Technology of hot Italian micro hair growth:

1. Before you grow hair, you need to cut them. This will remove the split ends, which can stick out from under the healthy extensions. The master does not remove the length, but only gently eliminates the section,
2. After that, the curls are washed out. You can not use balms and oils, because they negatively affect the attachment of the capsules,
3. All hairs on the head are divided into partings, the procedure starts from the lower back part, gradually moving towards the crown. The capsule is slightly warmed up and attached to the roots, after which the curling iron is soldered to them,
4. The whole process, depending on the number of strands, takes from 40 minutes to 2 hours.

If you have the opportunity to buy a heating apparatus, the procedure can be performed independently at home. We also recommend that you watch a step-by-step video before starting a session.

Correction and removal of hair extensions

Depending on the speed of hair growth over time, correction or removal of capsules is necessary. The correction technique is very similar to the extension, just before you re-attach the capsules, you need to remove the old ones. This can be done by any beauty salon that provides hairdressing services, but we recommend adjusting the hairstyle exclusively with your master.

Instructions on how to remove extended curls:

1. It is necessary to apply a special solution to the attachment points of the capsules. Often used the drug, which includes acetone, which is very harmful. So watch what the master puts on the strand,
2. After the strands are again divided by parting. The barber takes a device that looks like a pliers and just pulls out the capsules,
3. In order to save money, it is better to carry out the removal or correction at home - to a good master no matter where to grow hair,
4. Together with the capsules, a certain percentage of native hair is pulled out - this is inevitable,
5. After that, the remains of keratin or resin are combed from the curls of a thick comb.

Theoretically, you can take your own capsules with your own hands, but on the back of your head this is not very convenient. It is better to ask for help in a specialized salon - so the loss of natural curls will be much smaller.

The master prepares new strands, and then sticks them to the roots using standard technology. There are no restrictions on extensions and correction - each girl decides for herself whether to stop or not.

What is the best hair extensions: capsular or tape

Naturally, girls are very interested in this question. The answer depends on the goals. For example, a tape hurts its strands less, but not all hairstyles can be made with it - the ribbons can be seen with a high tail. Moreover, it is rarely performed on curly hair.

Capsular is more practical, although it costs more. Capsules are so small that they are often invisible even with careful examination of the head.But because of the heat, this technology harms curls more. You also need to remember that the care of the capsule strands more scrupulous than the tape.

Separately, you need to say about the removal and correction. The bulk of the hair suffers precisely when the hairstyle is updated, but tape build-up in this regard is more careful. In order to peel off the tape, you do not need to use drugs with acetone or ammonia - it is enough to lather your head with a special shampoo.

Italian

The master in his work uses capsules already with the available small strands. Such capsules are keratin "beads", which, after applying natural hair to a strand, are strongly compressed either with special forceps or manually. In the first case, flat fastenings are obtained, in the second case - cylinders, but in any case they will be invisible.

According to the Italian technology of capsular extension, you can count on a six-month period of wearing donor strands. At the same time keratin, which is “melted” and firmly combined with natural hair, does not harm them at all - the substance belongs to natural and safe.

English

This method of hot capsular build-up is more complex and time-consuming, only an experienced master will be able to perform it with high quality. The specialist independently forms donor strands, then fastens them to natural curls with the help of a special glue gun, in which the resin is present.

The disadvantages of the English technology capsular capacity - a high risk of incorrect attachment of donor hair, different sizes of beams and the inability to increase bangs.

The client will often have to visit her master, because with this method of extension, donor strands are often simply combed out, fall out and need regular correction. Nevertheless, if the procedure was performed correctly and efficiently, the joints of natural and artificial strands are almost imperceptible, and a drop of resin, which is used as an adhesive material, will be the size of a grain of rice.

Microcapsule

Practically no different from Spanish technology, only keratin capsules on donor hair are small and light. Such a build-up is best suited to representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, who have too thin, dry and weak hair. Microcapsule technology allows you to increase the curls even on bangs and with a short hairstyle of the client.

The choice of a specific technology of capsular hair extensions depends not only on individual preferences! The master should carefully examine the condition of the client's natural strands and recommend the safest method.

For capsular hair extensions, see this video:

How to use keratin capsules

The process of capsular hair extensions is not difficult, although for its proper implementation you need to have some professional skills. First, the specialist separates the zone of the future extension. As a rule, this is the occipital part of the head, the line along which the temporal areas will also be captured.

Then you will need to heat the capsules with already attached donor hair. This is done either with special tongs or in the hands. As soon as the keratin capsule becomes soft, pliable, it is attached to a separate strand on the line of general growth and compressed by the heated “curling” for 10 - 20 seconds.

Hair on keratin capsules

Keratin capsules are so tightly wrapped around natural hair that even with aggressive combing is unlikely to tear them off. Capsules with donor hair are fastened at a distance of 1 cm from natural roots. If the procedure is carried out correctly, the client's natural hair does not break or dry out with a heating device.

For information on how the procedure of hair extensions on keratin capsules, see in this video:

Capsule or tape - which is better?

According to the masters and clients, capsular capacity is more practical. After all, with this method of hair extension, it is allowed to stay in the sun, visit the sauna, and do various styling, change the hairstyle, curling on curlers. But the tape buildup is a continuous restriction, since even a small amount of steam, oil, dye can lead to the dissolution of the adhesive layer on the basis - donor strands simply disappear.

In addition, tape building requires frequent correction - every 2 months, while the technology under consideration allows you to maintain a perfect appearance for 5 - 6 months.

Capsule layout

Skilled craftsmen begin their work on capsular hair extensions from the temples, then descend along the dividing line to the back of the head and, if necessary, go to the top of the head. It is this order of work that makes it possible to understand how many capsules with donor strands are needed to complete the process.

Artificial curls can be placed both in a row and staggered in two rows - it all depends on how much the client wants to increase the volume of hair. But an experienced master will always recommend to stop your choice on building one. So donor hair will not weight their strands, they look natural.

Capsule arrangement for hair extensions

How many capsules do you need

The question is purely individual, but you should count on 100 pieces on average. In general, the number of capsules per one extension varies and depends on the thickness and length of the client’s own hair. For example, if natural curls are thick and long, then 200-250 capsules will be needed, but if these parameters are not so pronounced, then 100 may suffice.

When correction is required

Every 5 - 6 months, but in some cases a repeated procedure may be needed after 4 months. The master will definitely recommend the client to appear on the “survey” in a couple of months. Then it will be clear how strong capsular build-up in a particular case, when it is worth making a correction.

In fact, the correction is a repeated hair extension, for which the same donor strands are used. Compressed keratin capsules are dissolved with a special solution and the strands are simply removed. Then the master carefully washes the client's head with shampoo, dries and sticks the same material again, retreating from the previous attachment point closer to the roots. In general, donor strands with timely correction can be used 3-4 times.

What does natural hair look like after

The girls who did the procedure were very pleased with the result. The fact is that capsular build-up does not make the client's own hair heavier, does not break it, and does not cause drying or brittleness. Of course, after getting rid of donor strands, you will need to help your hair a little to recover. And make it a mask of natural products, professional cosmetics with vitamins and oils.

A) Regrown strands after extension, B) Scalp after removal of strands

Procedure cost

It is really rather big and always variable. It all depends on the length of their own and donor strands, on the number of capsules, on their attachment points. On average, hair extensions with lengths of 30 - 40 cm to increase the volume will cost 8,000 rubles (about 2000 UAH.). This price corresponds to 150 to 200 strands for extension.

Many masters increase the cost of their services if the client needs to increase too short hair, bangs or dry / thin curls. This is their right, since it is very difficult to work with such “source material” and no one will give any guarantee of a positive result.

Capsule hair extensions are a sought-after procedure. It does not harm its own strands, retains their strength and structure, can not only lengthen the hair, but also make the hair more bulky.The only condition for obtaining the desired result is the professional work of the master.

Is it possible to increase hair at home?

Capsular hair extensions at home can be done if you have the necessary skills and experience. Now a lot of various videos have appeared on the Internet with step-by-step instructions explaining in detail how to build up the strands on your own. The procedure in the cabin will cost an impressive amount, so if you are confident in your abilities, you can try to build a house. The only condition is the exact observance of instructions and the purchase of quality materials for hair extensions in specialized stores.

It should be understood that the procedure is quite time-consuming, requiring patience and accuracy. It is necessary to strictly observe all the nuances of technology, otherwise you can seriously harm the hair. For home procedures, the best option would be a tape extension. This is a simpler and safer procedure that does not require thermal treatment and reduces the risk of hair damage.

It is better not to experiment with hot methods of capsular extension at home, otherwise it can end badly for the hair. Remember that only experienced professionals in a good salon can make high-quality capsular capacity. Therefore, it is better not to save on your own appearance.

How much is?

The prices of capsular hair extensions are determined based on the cost of one strand. On average, it is 40-50 rubles per strand, the final cost will be formed from the number of donor curls and stylist fees.

Reviews of capsular hair extensions are mostly positive, women point out the numerous advantages of this technology and say that with its help they have become owners of luxurious hair.

Reviews of the procedure

Review №1

I have long wanted to grow long hair, but I lacked patience. And then I saw a long-time acquaintance and was surprised by her chic hairstyle, all the more I knew that before that she had thin and sparse hair. The secret of transformation was simple - capsular capacity. She took the stylist's phone from her and decided to do it too. The procedure in the salon took almost 3 hours. The master carefully selected the shade of artificial curls, then sealed each capsule. As a result, 75 strands were used, I paid almost 4,000 rubles for the service. But the result was worth it. Now I am the owner of gorgeous, thick and long hair.

Review number 2

The one who has thought up capsular hair extension - it is necessary to put a monument! I finally managed to fulfill my dream and turn my thin and sparse hair into thick, long and voluminous hair. Many complain that hair extensions create additional problems, but for me some of the limitations are completely irrelevant, the main thing is the result. I did the microencapsulation procedure, the joints are completely invisible and the hair does not tighten at all. Although many complain that the roots, burdened with capsules, get tired, there is a feeling of tightness and headaches. I had nothing of this. Hair can be washed, styled, combed, as usual. It is only necessary to observe certain precautions in order not to damage the capsules.

Review number 3

Last year did capsular hair extensions. In general, I liked it, the procedure is quite expensive, but in the end the hairstyle looks just gorgeous. It is a pity that my hair grows quickly and in 2.5 months it took a correction, but it also comes at a price. Therefore, I refused to build, artificial hair was removed, after that I had to treat my hair, because they got out strongly, they became brittle and dry. So this procedure has its drawbacks.
