Hair Extensions
Hair extensions are hair that can be added to natural hair to give it a fuller, longer or different texture and color look. There are several methods for adding hair extensions, and they can be used for aesthetic purposes, such as upgrading the appearance of the hair, adding volume or extension, as well as for medical purposes, such as hiding thinning hair or baldness.
There are several popular types and methods of attaching hair extensions:
1. Clips: hair bands with clips that can be attached to the hair and removed easily. This is the fastest and simplest method for temporary hair extension.
2. Soldering: hair that is connected to the natural hair using cold or hot soldering. This is a more permanent method that requires time and expertise. Trusses can be cut to connect using this method
3. Sewing: hair strips that are sewn to the natural hair, usually by braiding which are the basis for sewing the additional hair using thread and needle.
4. Ponytail: Hair extensions that are worn on a ponytail using a clip and an additional hair band to hide the connection.
All our hair extensions are from natural hair that has not undergone any chemical change -
Natural hair extensions?
Beauty hair extensions are natural hair extensions that come from real human hair and not synthetic hair. Natural extensions are considered the highest quality because they look and feel like natural hair, and can be styled in a variety of ways.
Natural hair extensions come in a variety of quality levels. The best quality hair is virgin hair that has not been chemically processed or dyed. This hair keeps its cuticle (the outer layer of the hair) intact, which ensures durability and a natural look.
The natural hair can be styled with heat (flat iron, straightener, curler), dyed and styled just like natural hair. They are durable and can last a long time with proper maintenance.
It is important to treat natural hair extensions gently: wash them with high-quality shampoo and conditioner and avoid excessive use of heat tools. Brush them gently and leave them to dry naturally when possible. -
Virgin hair extensions?
Virgin hair is natural hair that has not undergone any chemical processing, such as dyeing, lightening or other chemical treatments. It is hair cut from one donor, and keeps all its cuticles (the outer layer of the hair) in the same direction, which ensures high quality and a natural look.
Virgin hair is of the highest quality because it has not undergone any chemical processing, making it stronger, more durable and healthier. It maintains its natural shine and texture, it can be dyed, lightened, smoothed, curled and faceted without damaging the hair. It is more resistant to wear and tear and can maintain its appearance for a long time.
Virgin hair is the preferred choice for those looking for hair extensions of the highest quality, which will look natural and maintain their health over time. -
How to put on a wig?
1. Preparing the natural hair:
Braid flat braids as much as possible or collect the hair in a low, tight ponytail and, if necessary, fasten the ponytail with pins to the head. You can brush it back and use gel or spray to hold the hair in place.
2. Using a wig net (which you will receive as a gift in a special case together with the wig):
Wearing a wig net helps hold the natural hair in place and provides a more stable base for the wig. The net should be placed on the head, covering all the natural hair. Safety pins can be used to ensure the mesh stays in place.
3. Preparing the wig:
Before wearing the wig, you should brush it gently. It can be shaped as needed with a straightener or curler and even painted before use. The net should be cut as close as possible to the hairline in a zig-zag shape with small numbers. Take your time with this part for a result that you will be happy with. Can be cut even after wearing the wig
4. Wearing the wig:
Hold the wig with both hands, with the back of it (the nape) facing you. Start from the forehead and place the wig on the head, pulling it back smoothly so that it covers all the hair and the mesh.
Make sure the wig is positioned correctly so that the hairline of the wig matches your natural hairline. Use the pins built into the wig to secure it. Make sure the rubber bands on the back are adjusted so that the wig stays in place and does not move.
6. Final design:
Once the wig is in place and secured, it can be arranged and styled as needed. You can use a baby hair comb (comes in a gift box with the wig) to style the short hair in front with gel.Important points:
If you feel that the wig is uncomfortable or not positioned correctly, remove it and start over. Convenience is important.
Be sure to clean and care for the wig according to the instructions you receive to ensure that it is kept in good condition for a long time. -
