Making hairstyles with false hair

Today, it is possible to improve and transform your hairstyle with the help of a large number of various materials. Among such a list, it is worth highlighting false hair, with which you can create a casual or solemn image, regardless of the initial length of natural strands.

False hair, unlike wigs, cannot solve the problem of complete hair loss, but for many women, such products are very useful for daily use or for creating a festive look. This is due to the features of the strands to simulate the hairstyle and its length, without resorting to an expensive extension procedure.

To date, the following types of false hair can be found on sale:

• artificial;
• natural;
• mixed.

The latter type is rarely produced by manufacturers. The products from natural raw materials are certainly most in demand, since they are of high quality in comparison with the first variety. In addition, it is several times easier to work with them even at home, since the strands will be more pliable for curling, straightening, washing and drying.

As for artificial materials, high-quality curls will be slightly inferior in appearance to natural strands. In addition, products will be more affordable.

Synthetic hair extensions are also divided into several groups. Acrylic, nylon and vinyl options are on sale. The main visual difference from real hair is the thickness of the threads, thanks to which the synthetics will be much easier. But, despite the thinness of the threads, the material is durable and durable, but more sensitive to high temperatures. Proceeding from this, hairdressers do not recommend drying or styling a hairstyle with artificial strands using a hot air stream, or curling them or straightening them with devices that will heat the material to shape.

Taking into account the type of raw materials used to create the product, hair care technology will also vary. For natural curls, the use of ordinary shampoos and rinsers is allowed, and as for synthetic fibers, they will need to purchase a specialized care product.

You can also divide false hair into groups according to their purpose and attachment options.

• There are products that are fixed to the hairstyle using various hair clips. Most often, curls are attached to a clip or a “crab”.
• The second most popular type of curls, which can be attached using tape or textile strips.
• Also, false hair can be sold in the form of a tail with an elastic band or a chignon with a tie.
• A fairly popular variety of overhead strands are products in the form of bangs. As a rule, such a small bundle of hair is attached to the main hair with a comb located on one end, or with a clip.

Such a variety of overhead strands significantly expands their functionality. In addition, from all of the above products, you can create the desired image and do-it-yourself hairstyle.

There are also two types of tresses based on thickness:

• products with thin beams;
• varieties with a wide range of material on the base.

Typically, a set of tresses consists of 4-8 strands of different lengths. The fastening begins with the largest product, and then the rest are placed in the selected area. Hair styling or weaving is done after all the strands from the set are placed on the head, and all hair is combed.

In the process of selecting an accessory with false strands, the fundamental moment is also the choice of the shade and color of the hair, which will be in harmony with natural hair as much as possible. The most correct way is to focus on your own shade, but strands on hairpins will look good as a “highlight” of the future image, with a difference in tonality of 1-2 positions in the dark or light side. This also concerns the issue of length - on medium and short hair, longer strands can be used.

When planning a hairstyle with tresses, you should also familiarize yourself with their main features.

• Modeling hairstyles using such accessories is not harmful to health. Unlike the accrued material, the scalp does not suffer while wearing overhead strands. In addition, the entire hair follicle remains intact.
• Strands stand out for ease of use. As a rule, to create a simple hairstyle with minimal dexterity, the product can be fixed in just a few minutes, regardless of the type of fixation.
• Thanks to false hair, you can quickly and economically change your image, and the operation process will be completely painless.
• The fasteners on the strands are minimal in size, so the extra hair in the hairstyle will be securely hidden under other strands.

With overhead strands, you can make many different styling and hairstyles. Conventionally, all created groups can be divided into two types.

Fixing straight strands to increase the volume or to change the length will help a quick option to give your image a new touch. This option will be the simplest, so it is recommended that girls use it without practical experience in operating tresses. A positive aspect of this idea is the fact that even when using the artificial appearance of products, visually additional curls are quite difficult to distinguish from real ones.

The next option for everyday styling can be a high and smooth tail. For these purposes, you should purchase a product with hair of a desired length with a color of raw materials that harmonizes in texture and shade.

To make a ponytail, you first need to collect your hair on the back of the head and attach the selected product using the lock to your bun. To hide the hairpin, you can wrap the base of the hairstyle with one strand of the total mass and secure it with invisibility.

An easy option for transforming with overhead strands will also be braiding. There are a lot of options for braiding, so you should choose the one you like most. You can add additional curls to your hair that is light or different from the main color, and then weave, focusing on additional strands to make the work of art more voluminous and beautiful.

For celebrations when creating an image with overhead strands, you can resort to using the idea with overhead curls. Curls with hairpins can be hidden under the main hair, increasing the total length and volume. In this case, you can lay on one side, fixing the strands with beautiful hair clips or ribbons, and also collect a low tail from curls on one side. A similar version of the hairstyle will be appropriate for the bride, graduate or friend.

An image in the Greek style with numerous and voluminous weaving will be appropriate at any celebration. Such a feminine styling is suitable for any girl, and additional strands will only emphasize the richness and luxury of hair. To create such an image, you need to place the required number of overhead strands on the sides and on the back of the head, after which the hair can be collected in a careless "fishtail" with broken strands or split the hair on the sides and wrap them in bundles, securing them from the back.

Thus, you can select the upper part of the styling, and leave the lower curls free. You can also collect all the hair in a volume roller, decorating styling with rhinestones, flowers, a diadem and delicate curls of strands of different lengths.

If a horse’s ponytail turns out to be an idea of ​​a strictly office look, then a tight braid or a plait of false hair can be used to create a festive styling. The product should be fixed at the base of natural hair and laid out on the head with a rim. In this case, the hair can be of any length, they can be left loose or collected in a shell or a tight bundle.

False hair is considered a universal option for modeling hairstyles, regardless of their length. The original idea of ​​transforming long, but sparse natural hair will be to use overhead strands to match the main color. To create a hairstyle, make a tail on the back of the head and place an additional insert in the middle of the tail.From the resulting volumetric beam, you can braid a "fish tail" or a back braid, stretching the strands slightly along the weave to create volume.

For short haircuts, you can also use overhead strands. In this case, stylists and hairdressers recommend contrasting strands to create highlighting or use several multi-colored options suitable for the occasion.

False curls will allow you to collect a voluminous shell even with short hair. To do this, comb your hair as smoothly as possible upward, make a bun, if the length allows, or make the shell using the “donut” completely from additional strands, in which case you will choose a shade similar to natural hair.

• Thanks to additional strands, you can create a unique styling for the bride by combining natural hair in a voluminous bundle with curls of different colors. A similar image will be feminine and light, and the decor of natural flowers will help to hide hairpins. You can also give the hairstyle a fabulous and elegant look, while the lower curls are better left to fall on the shoulders of the bride.

• You can make something new with the help of false hair even if the girl has an extraordinary color of strands. The original solution will be to use long curls to add volume and increase length. An unusual color in combination with a lush mop of naughty strands will give the image femininity and brightness. The idea itself will be universal, therefore suitable for any occasion.

• Even short haircuts can be decorated with overhead strands. To make a playful and feminine styling, it will be enough to supplement your volume with curls of natural or artificial hair to match. With the help of several curled strands, you can adjust the styling or completely change your image.
