Pros and Cons of Capsule Hair Extensions

Capsule hair extensions are one of the most popular types of extensions, the essence of which is that artificial curls are attached using small capsules. Such a procedure takes much longer than tape building, however, the resulting effect lasts longer.

The Italian extension is rightly called the safest way to capsule fastening of artificial curls. Its feature is that hot keratin build-up is carried out.

During such a procedure, the master selects several strands of the client and fixes the artificial curls with the help of a heated capsule. To heat the capsule, special forceps are used that cope with this task in a couple of seconds.

Among the main advantages of this method, the following can be distinguished:

• the exposure temperature does not exceed 170 degrees, due to which minimal harm is done to your own hair;
• frozen capsules remain invisible, so that you can hold hair even at parting;
• keratin fasteners are soft, which provides a high level of comfort during their use;

• for the procedure, strands are used, the length of which does not exceed 70 cm, but the initial volume of hair at the same time increases several times;
• with hair extensions you can easily go to the sauna, pool and other similar places;
• durability - the wearing time before correction is about 6 months, which favorably distinguishes this method against the background of capsular build-up of other species, which needs to be adjusted after a couple of months.

Of course, this technology has its drawbacks:

• the process takes a lot of time and effort of the master, which affects the cost of work;
• you need to choose the master very carefully, as this affects the result;

• at first, because of the capsules on the hair, you can feel a certain discomfort, however, in a week most ladies get used to it;
• during sleep during sharp turns, the capsules can deliver slight pain;
• Do not use hot cosmetic tools to style your hair.

Another popular type of capsule building is the English technology, a feature of which is the unique technology of fastening. Hair is collected by the master in a bundle of a certain volume, and special glue is applied to the base. After that, a lock is applied to the hair, which is clamped using special forceps.

The main advantages of this method:

• the ability to quickly increase the length of hair and its density;
• the fasteners are completely invisible, the resin for the procedure is available in various colors, so you can choose the most suitable option for the client’s hair color;

• affordable cost when compared with other options for hair extensions.

As for the shortcomings, the main one concerns the resin capsules. They cannot boast of impressive reliability and deteriorate under the influence of external factors. In addition, a similar technique cannot be resorted to for open areas.

In order for hair extensions to maintain their attractive appearance for a long time, special attention should be paid to caring for them. It is worth highlighting a number of key recommendations.

• Wash your hair only in an upright position. In no case should you throw your head forward, as this can cause the displacement of artificial curls.
• When washing, you do not need to rub the skin so as not to violate the integrity of the capsule.

• Immediately after washing, you can not comb your hair, but it is better to wait until they are completely dry.
• When combing, be sure to hold the hair with your hand, so as not to accidentally pull out strands.
• To maintain a good condition of the hair, you need to regularly apply various balms and masks, however, when applying, it is necessary to skip the roots so as not to soften the capsules.

As for the possible harm to the hair, capsule extension can adversely affect your own curls due to the influence of high temperature. In addition, it is harmful to grow hair in cases where you have brittle and weak hair. When building on them, an additional load is created, which can lead to complete loss.

Microcapsule building is an innovative method and has a huge number of advantages compared to the usual option. The main distinguishing feature is the size of the capsules: they are so small that it is almost impossible to notice them. The essence of fastening in this case does not differ from other methods, but among the materials not only keratin is used, but also wax capsules.

Among the main advantages of microcapsule building, which distinguish it from other varieties of this procedure, the following can be distinguished:

• this method is a great solution for girls who have their own hair weakened;
• ease of care and a minimum number of restrictions, which greatly simplifies the process of wearing;

• microcapsule extension can be carried out at any length of your hair, and even in this case, the capsules will remain invisible;
• durability - the correction will need to be carried out no more than twice a year;
• the minimum mass of strands, so that the pressure on the bulbs does not significantly increase.

Thus, capsule extension is a unique procedure that allows you to increase the length and density of hair, while maintaining maximum naturalness.
