Is hair extensions harmful?

Using modern methods, you can change the hair length in a matter of hours. However, the build-up procedure has not only advantages, but also disadvantages. We will talk about whether hair extensions are harmful.

Before carrying out any procedure, it is recommended to evaluate its potential benefits and harm to health. Of course, through extension, you can quickly lengthen your hair. However, this procedure is not absolutely safe. Some women should completely abandon it.

Extension of hairs occurs through the use of pre-selected bundles and adhesive base or special fastening structures. One of the methods is that the tufts of hair are attached to the "native" by means of special capsules containing resin. This method is often called by builders thermal or capsular. In order for the “bonding” of the prepared hair bundles to occur, the use of special equipment is required. This is necessary so that the adhesive based on the resin becomes sticky.

There are alternative methods of building. They are also called "cold." When using them, the thermal method is not used.At the same time, the attached hair is attached to its own using special designs. Many women say that they like this method less, because the hair does not look as beautiful and natural as when building with capsules. However, this procedure harms the hair significantly less.

Unfortunately, quite often after hair extensions undesirable consequences appear. An unsuccessful procedure can in some cases even cause excessive hair loss. And they can fall out for many months. Some women note that they were able to completely restore hair after an unsuccessful procedure only a few years later.

Trichologists note that any build-up (even conducted using gentle technology) is a kind of stress. The hairs that are used for attachment have a certain mass. Attaching such hair to one's hair makes the hair follicles begin to “experience” a large load.

Another negative consequence of hair extensions can be the appearance of split ends. Of course, the ends of the hair can be dissected even in healthy people, however, after extension, the section becomes pathological. With this problem, the hair begins to look untidy. Frequent cutting of excised ends contributes, as a rule, to the fact that to grow long hair subsequently becomes quite difficult.

Hair extensions require special care. Careless attitude to the hair can lead to the fact that the hair will look careless. It can also contribute to adverse effects - for example, excessive dryness of the scalp. Incorrect combing of hairs can cause damage to the hair shaft. This, in turn, leads to the appearance of a strong section of the ends of the hair, as well as active loss.

The origin of the hair used for extension may be different. Most often, natural hairs are used to lengthen. Such biological material, although it is subjected to special processing, can still cause the development of allergies. This should be remembered by women suffering from allergic pathologies. For the extension can be used not only natural hair, but also synthetic material. It is worth noting that its use can also lead to allergies.

The hair used for hair extension “undergoes” special treatment with chemical components. The use of low-quality products in the future can cause allergic pathologies. At the same time, adverse allergy symptoms may appear after a couple of days of “wearing” such “donor material”. It is worth noting that if allergic manifestations appeared after the extension, then the extended hair should be removed immediately. The use of antiallergic drugs without removing such enlarged curls is not effective.

It is worth noting that not all women are allergic to hair extensions. The quality of the raw materials used is very important. It is no coincidence that specialists in this procedure do not recommend their customers to buy too cheap hair.

Women suffering from allergic pathologies should consult an allergist before building up. The doctor will help determine whether it is possible to resort to such a procedure without harm to health.Extension - a procedure that must be carried out by a qualified specialist. You need to choose a wizard quite responsibly. Hair extensions by an unskilled specialist can lead to the fact that after the procedure there will be numerous negative consequences.

Trusting online reviews is reckless. Curl care professionals point out that A real friend or colleague review is better than anonymous on the net. Before resorting to this procedure, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the contraindications to its implementation. Some unscrupulous extension masters lengthen hair even with such limitations. It is important to remember that carrying out a build-up in a woman who has contraindications to its use can provoke the appearance of adverse symptoms. In some cases, such a procedure can even harm your health.

Doctors do not recommend building up during the acute period of infectious diseases. At this time, the body is actively struggling with pathogens that have got into it. Growth is a kind of stress for the body. During infectious pathologies, in order to recover faster, any stressful effects should be avoided. It is better to postpone this procedure for a while after recovery. Also, you should not lengthen hair with

• chemotherapy;
• recent discontinuation of hormonal drugs;

Hair extensions - a procedure that, of course, does not benefit the body. It is not carried out for hair care. Moreover, after building (especially frequent) adverse effects often arise. Specialists in the care of the scalp do not recommend resorting to such a procedure too often. In order for the hairs to recover after extension, they need several months. At this time, the scalp requires more thorough care.

Hair extensions require special care. If you neglect the recommendations for caring for them, then you can significantly reduce the wearing time of such hairs.
