Tape or capsular hair extensions: understand and choose

Send

Many ladies dream about long hair. But, alas, not everyone has the patience to grow their own braids for a long time. Sometimes you want to become especially attractive and feminine to any particular event. In this case, hair extensions will save the situation.

Of course, before you spend money on the hairstyle of your dreams, a sensible young lady will certainly ask what hair extensions look better and does not harm your hair. Much in this matter depends on the experience and effort of the master, but the quality of the source material is of considerable importance.

I would like to clarify at once that it is better not to do extension at all to those who have weakened damaged hair, since in this case no master will provide you with any security guarantees.

In many ways, the appearance of the new hairstyle and the condition of your own hair will depend on how accurately you will follow the rules of care. They are pretty simple:
- do not go to bed with wet or flowing hair,
- to comb using special brushes,
- when using a balm to prevent it from falling on the capsules,
- timely carry out the correction.

In order to determine which hair extension is better, you need to have some information about the subject. So, consider what technologies exist today and what is the difference between them.

The English technology with the use of resin capsules today is almost outdated and almost never used. Hair extensions in this way do not look too natural due to the fact that the capsules are too large and are often glued together. Donor hair resin capsule holds poorly, hence their significant loss during wear.

Hot or ultrasonic build-up according to Italian technology has worked well. The procedure is carried out with the help of special tongs, which melt keratin capsules. The disadvantages of technology include the moment that a heated device can easily injure your natural hair, and the capsules are quite large in diameter.

Ultrasound extension is in many respects similar to Italian technology, only ultrasound is used instead of heat. If among the criteria by which you determine which hair extension is better, one of the first is the strength of attachment of the strands, we advise you to pay attention to this method.
It should be noted, and another minus the use of keratin capsules. Correction of such strands with a guarantee of quality can only be a specialist with extensive experience.

Glue cold buildup on the Spanish technology also has excellent reviews. Hair is not exposed to high temperatures, and therefore not injured. The adhesive has a transparent texture and is completely invisible on the hair, besides it gives a fairly strong connection.

Building on metal beads is a low-budget option, the disadvantages of which include strong combing of donor hair during wear. For a long time to show off with such strands is unlikely. Metal beads cause skin irritation and headaches. However, if you want to turn a boyish haircut into long curls, you will not have to choose which hair extensions for a long time. This is one of two options that are suitable for such a case.

The most gentle is considered to be the German tape building technology. Its only drawback is the extremely short lifetime of the strands (about two months). In addition, this method is not suitable for lovers of high hairstyles and owners of thin hair.

To date, the best hair extensions, according to hairdressers, are produced using state-of-the-art ExtendMagic technology. Flexible and transparent wax makes hair the most natural and weightless. The microlining technology allows working with hair of any length. Its only disadvantage is the high cost.

Capsular

Capsular hair extensions are used in several techniques: English, Spanish, Italian. The essence of all techniques is simple - strands are connected to artificial ones with the help of capsules (keratin, resin or glue). Depending on the polymer, capsular hair extensions can be both hot and cold:

To cold This is the Spanish technique (the capsule is created with the help of glue) and ultrasound (the same as the Italian, only keratin is melted by ultrasound). The Japanese technique, in which the capsules are metal rings / beads, is referred to as a cold capsular extension.
Hot appliances:English (capsule is created by resin), Italian (keratin capacity). In both cases, the polymers are heated with special tongs. The most popular is the Italian technique.

Tape hair extensions refers to cold methods. The whole process consists of attaching artificial strands to natural ones using special adhesive tapes / tape.

Tape building can be of several types:

Express. Curls are connected using a very wide ribbon, which reduces the duration of the entire procedure.
HairTalk (German technology). Strips are used up to 1 cm wide. This makes them less noticeable. Correction occurs with the help of polymer and correction strips.
AngeloHair. The principle is similar to HairTalk. But here the tapes are fastened on keratin, and the correction is carried out using scotch tape.

Differences tape capacity from capsular

Tape and capsular capacity increase the volume and length of the strands. Ribbon attachment to the hair is created using special strips.The procedure takes less time, and the correction itself will have to be done often: once every 1-2 months. In addition, this technique does not suit the owners of short hair. And with it you can not create complex and / or high hair. And after the build-up will be needed special treatments for which you should not use alcohol-containing means.

Capsule technology is a long and laborious process. To obtain the expected result, it is necessary that the procedure was carried out by an experienced master. In the most popular Italian buildCurls fall under the action of high temperatures. The strands are neat, the capsules are almost imperceptible. You can create different hairstyles, including a high tail. Correction is needed in 2-4 months. This method can be applied on very short hair (more than 8 cm), and after the procedure no special care products are required. But it should be borne in mind that this technique is not suitable for owners of weak hair.

If you need to increase the length and volume for a short time, you can resort to the tape method. This is cheaper and the procedure does not take much time. In addition, the removal will be quick and easy.

Well, when you need to get a luxurious head of hair for a long time, or you like to experiment with hairstyles, you should prefer the capsular technique.

The strands grown in this way do not need to be corrected for a long time, and the attachment points are almost imperceptible.

In addition to these recommendations, there are other features that determine what is best in each case.

Selection by hair type

One of the decisive factors determining which capacity is better than tape or capsular hair is the type of hair:

Greasy hair. Capsular hair extensions are banned because fat breaks down keratin.
Thin. The best option - tape technology. Due to the fact that the tape captures a large area of the hair when fastening, some strands are not so injured. Also with this type of cold build-up there is no tangling of strands, which is important for fine hair.
Rare. Due to the connection technique, the tape method is preferable.
Short The best choice is the capsule method.
Dense, thick. Increased capsular technique.

Cost comparison

If we are talking about the price, then the tape technique is cheaper. So, capsular capacity can cost 17 thousand rubles (100 Slavic strands), and tape - 12 thousand (40 tapes). The price is affected by the quality of the artificial curls, their quantity and length.

Important! The best material is Slavic hair, which is good in wearing, but more expensive than other types: Asian, European, South Slavic.

What is more difficult

Tape technology This is done by simply gluing the finished tapes, so the process itself does not require a high level of skill and lasts about an hour.

Capsule Method consists of a number of important stages: keratin melting, strand selection, capsule formation. It is important to select curls of the same thickness and form neatly shaped capsules. It is also necessary to choose the optimal temperature, which does not harm the hair, and the melting of keratin is qualitative. Therefore, this method is better to entrust an experienced master. The duration of the procedure is 2-4 hours.

Advantages and disadvantages of both procedures

Advantages of capsular capacity:

durability of the increased curls,
can be used in prominent places: bangs, temples, nape,
Saunas, baths are allowed,
the ability to create high hair,
almost imperceptible attachment points,
the interval between corrections is 3-4 months,
can be painted,
almost all care and laying procedures are permitted (the main thing is that there is no direct effect on the capsules).

Minuses:

high price,
work duration
mats are formed
with each correction, the length of the artificial strands is reduced.

Advantages of the tape method:

quickness of the procedure
safety (no temperature exposure),
easy and quick removal,
cost,
applied on the head of hair of any thickness
during correction, the accrued strands do not decrease in length.

Minuses:

You can not do high hair,
strands combed out
need frequent correction with an interval of 1-2 months,
can not be dried with a hairdryer. Heat exposure is allowed only at the tips of the curls,
use of special care products.

Important nuances

Whatever option you choose: tape building or capsular, the main thing is to choose high-quality material. Do not try to save on artificial strands. After a couple of washes, poor-quality curls will look artificial.
Make a correction in time. Otherwise places of fastenings will become visible, and locks will start to be confused.
You should not resort to any of the procedures in the presence of skin diseases of the head or baldness. They are also contraindicated in antibiotics, hormones, and chemotherapy.
Increased strands are best not to wear for over a year, giving them periodic rest.
You can not go to bed with wet hair, as well as combing them without drying.

To understand what kind of hair extension is better capsular or tape, you should contact the master. He will accurately determine the priority of the technique depending on the state of the native hair, and also will prompt the right decision according to your situation and preferences.

What type of building to choose

There are a dozen technologies for hair extensions. But most often use hot capsular or cold tape method. We understand how they differ and what capacity is better.

Capsular hair extensions

Italian (capsular) extension is the most popular way to increase hair length. In this technique, the strands are attached to the roots with keratin resin, which is heated with thermoscalers. A small transparent capsule is formed, almost imperceptible. An average of 150 strands is required for extension; the process takes about three hours.

The average cost of capsular capacity is 15 thousand rubles.

Advantages of capsular capacity:

You can walk with a capsular extension up to six months, then a correction is required.
Mounting strands almost imperceptibly, which allows you to make fashionable hairstyles.
Hair can be increased point in the necessary places: bangs, parting, temples.
Hair capsules unpretentious in the care, easy to wash and comb.

Disadvantages of capsular extension:

At the time of cauterization of the capsule, natural hair is affected due to the high temperature.
The strands on the capsules overload their own hair, causing thinning and loss.
The fatter the scalp, the faster the capsules will break down. Also, you can not put on them masks and balms.
Capsules need to be protected from high temperatures: with care to style the hair with a curling iron and ironing, protect it from the sun and put a hat on in a bath and sauna.

Verdict: capsular extension suitable for long-term wearing. It is better to choose Slavic hair - they keep their well-groomed appearance for a long time.

Tape hair extensions

For cold tape building use strands up to four centimeters wide, on the edge of which adhesive tape is applied. Own hair is laid between the two straps and fasten them on top and bottom with a sticky layer. It takes 60 strands to grow, and the whole process takes no more than an hour.

The average cost of tape capacity - 10 thousand rubles.

Advantages of tape extension:

The hairs in the process are not heat treated, so they suffer less.
Strands on the tapes create a uniform load and do not cause hair loss.
The glue does not dissolve from heat and water: you can bathe in the bath and sauna, swim in the pool.
The build-up is quick and easy to remove.

Cons tape build:

Correction is required in two months.
Ribbons can be noticeable, especially if you are styling your hair in hairstyles.
Wide attachment of strands makes it difficult to wash and comb hair.
Alcohol-based products (such as styling) can dissolve the adhesive.

Verdict: tape extension is more suitable for short-term wearing. For example, if you want to be transformed to a wedding or birthday party.

How to avoid the unpleasant effects of hair extensions

Trichologists believe that there is no safe hair extensions. Any method over time leads to the weakening, breakage and loss of their own hair. Therefore, it is important to give your hair a rest and undergo a course of restorative procedures (masks, wraps, mesotherapy).

And be sure to follow the guidelines for home care:

When washing you can not tilt your head forward - it hurts the hair and leads to the formation of mats. Daily washing quickly wears capsules and tape. Five life hacking, how to keep hair clean longer.
You should brush your hair with a natural bristle brush without balls at the ends, so as not to damage the attachments.
Keep hair from tangling: be sure to dry and braid in a weak braid before going to bed.
Do not touch the fastening strands when laying a hairdryer, iron or curling. Thermal protection and styling should not be applied to capsules and tapes.

What hair to build for choose

For building use natural hair, past special treatment. It is important to initially choose strands that are as similar in color and texture as possible to their own, because otherwise they may not be easily amenable to coloring and styling.

Slavic hair. Top quality and expensive. Shipped from Russia, Ukraine or Belarus. The hair is treated gently and keep a smooth cuticle on it.Such strands can be dyed, curled and straightened - they will not lose their presentable appearance. Suitable for continuous wear, service life - not less than a year.

European hair. They are of medium quality, often of Indian and Latin American origin. Strands are treated with acid and silicone, partially or completely removing the upper scaly layer. Such hair is tough, difficult to style and often tangled. Beautiful view retain up to six months.

Asian hair. Cheapest but of poor quality. Shipped from China and Korea. By production the top layer of hair is completely cleaned, then polished and covered with silicone. Such strands quickly lose their luster, tangle, break, do not stand painting and styling. Will serve several months.

The best hair extensions - a review of the most effective methods

It is impossible to answer unequivocally the question which hair extension is the best. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. The best option is selected individually, depending on your goals, the desired result, as well as the characteristics of native curls.

The master must assess the condition of the hair and, on this basis, he will advise a method that suits you. If you wish to make a decision yourself, in order to choose a suitable technique, familiarize yourself with the features of each of them.

Hot or cold appliances?

Many girls will confirm that the best hair extensions carried by hot technology. As a result of this procedure, it is possible to ensure long-lasting results. Fasteners are strong, but elastic. There are several varieties of the hot curl elongation method. The most popular are English and Italian.

When using the English method, resin capsules are used with which donor strands are attached to natural hair. This technique has several disadvantages. In particular, the procedure itself is performed for a long time. In addition, after attaching the strands, they may be a few days inconvenient to you from unusual sensations.

Italian technology is better. It was developed by Italian hairdressers in order to improve the English method. Therefore, this technology is devoid of the minuses that are characteristic of the classical English method.

With the Italian technique used keratin-based capsules. They do not cause allergies and discomfort after attaching strands. But it is worth considering that both technologies involve the effects of heat. And this has a negative effect on the state of native curls. Hot technique provides reliable locking strands. At the same time it is possible to make the mount flexible and elastic. As a result, donor bundles look natural and neat. The capsule is not visible on the head of hair.

To do this, you will need to contact an experienced master who can remove donor bundles without damaging your own curls. After building with keratin capsules, masks and balms, as well as styling products should not be applied to the attachment points. Strands need to be protected from heat exposure.

Cool way

Unlike hot, this method of lengthening the curls is harmless to hair. The best option for cold build is considered to be the German classic technique. Also common is the Italian cold technique. The use of tapes to which donor strands are connected, allows you to grow curls quickly enough. The technology is relatively simple. The result is a natural appearance of the hairstyle. But after such a procedure it will not be possible to do high hairstyles, since the attachment points of the donor curls will be visible on the head of hair.

The cold technique can be performed using metal clips or ringlets. But the tape method is considered the best, as it provides a natural look of hair. Due to the friction of the curls on the metal hair can deteriorate. After removal there is a risk of wrinkles. The method of using such metal devices is not suitable for owners of thin hair. Count on the long-term effect is also not necessary. When choosing a cold technique is better to give preference to tape technology.

Answering the question which hair extension is better, we must proceed from the type of curls. For hair, prone to fat, hot method will not work. The accumulated fat tends to melt the capsules, damaging the attachment points of the donor bundles. It is worth refusing cold building if at you too short thin ringlets.

Which is better: capsules or tape?

If we consider the method of attachment of donor curls, there are two common options. The first is the use of capsules. They can be of different sizes and shapes. There are different technologies that involve the formation of capsules. The main advantage of using capsules is that they are almost invisible on the curls. But if you have a short haircut, this technique will not work for you. It is applicable only if the length of its own strands has reached 5 cm, and for some techniques the minimum length is 7-8 cm.

With the tape method, the build-up is much faster. This procedure is cheaper. But it provides a less durable result. You will have to make correction more often than with the capsular technique. With the tape technique there is no harm to the hair. If you have loose curls, you should choose this method, because it does not imply a thermal effect on curls. Plus, the tape is easier to remove. You will do it yourself, without resorting to the services of an experienced hairdresser.

If you go to the pool or frequent the sauna, bath, it is better to opt for the capsule method. When using tapes with donor bundles, later you will have to carry a protective cap, which must be worn in rooms with high humidity.

If you want the fastening zones to be completely invisible and not even felt to the touch, choose the microlatch method. This technique is to use capsules that are half the size and thinner than usual. The procedure is quite time-consuming and time-consuming, as well as expensive. But it allows you to get a natural look of hair.

Recommendations for owners of thin liquid hair

If nature has not rewarded you with a thick lush "mane", you can fix this problem by increasing. However, not all techniques are applicable for such a head of hair.

The essence of this procedure is that the attachment strands performed with the use of keratin capsules. But, in contrast to the hot technology, instead of thermal exposure, the compounds are formed by the action of ultrasonic pulses. In this case, a thin head of hair is not damaged.

What technique provides a lasting effect?

Another criterion that will help determine which hair extension is better is how long the result lasts. If you choose a capsular Italian or English technique, expect that the strands will retain their attractive appearance for 1.5-2 months. Spanish technology provides the effect up to six months. But after 3-4 months just have to make an adjustment.

Ultrasound technology gives results for 8 weeks. With the tape technique, the duration of the effect depends on how quickly your own curls grow. Someone wears strands without correction for 1 month, others make adjustments every 2-3 months.

What hair to choose?

This is another important nuance, because to obtain the desired result it is not enough to choose a technique. Natural strands are considered the best. When using these healthy curls provides a natural look of hair.

The best artificial are locks of the Slavic and European type. European strands can be worn only before the first correction. Then you need to buy a new set. Asian is a budget option, but such strands will have to be combed regularly, since they tend to be tangled. Curls Slavic type of the highest quality. If you use such buns of luxury class, the hair will not be distinguished from the natural. Attached strands will look exactly like native curls.

Ulyana, 31 years old

I have increased hair in a tape way. Attachment points are not visible, but high hairstyles could not be done, since the attachment points of donor hair immediately appeared. In addition, strands often had to be combed: they quickly began to mess up if they did not use the comb for a while. Of the benefits - low cost and ease of procedure. In addition, this method does not require exposure to heat, and therefore harmless to curls.

Anna, 25 years old

Already made microgrowing several times. Capsules are so tiny that they are completely invisible on the hair, even if you collect them in a ponytail. The procedure is quite complicated and tedious. It's expensive. But the result justifies the high price. Of all the techniques that have tried, microlining gives the best result, providing the head of hair a natural look. Thin hair became bulky and thick. I've always dreamed of such a hairstyle and was glad that I discovered this technique for myself.

Advantages and disadvantages of hair extensions

The procedure under discussion has its pros and cons. To understand its main advantage, you just need to look at the photo of hair before and after. If initially it is often a short tail of thin and loose strands, then as a result of building a girl can endlessly admire the long, strong and shiny hair.

Other advantages of the procedure:

When hair extensions girl does not feel pain and / or discomfort. She can just relax in a chair and chat with the master on interesting topics.
In just a few hours, it is possible to increase the length of your own hairstyle to 70 centimeters.
Modern materials allow hair extensions to look natural and natural. After the procedure, a good master, from the side it is impossible to understand that the curls of the girl "not native."
The extension procedure can not only increase the length, but also solve other problems. For example, add hair density in a certain area (even on the bangs), use colored or streaked strands in your hairstyle. As a result, the young lady does not have to spoil the hair. Dyed strands can be removed at any time.

Disadvantages of hair extensions:

Limited amount of hairstyles available for girls. Many of the usual styling after the extension will show the surrounding places of hair with the material of the barber.
The build-up is always easy to identify by touch. Many men do not like to feel artificial “capsules” on the head of her beloved while stroking her hair.
Hair extensions are quite difficult to wash. For example, they can not be lowered down. It is necessary to wash the curls only in an upright position in the shower or each time for the sake of this procedure to go to the hairdresser.
When caring for such hair does not avoid using a special balm.And when applying it you need to strictly ensure that the tool does not fall on the attachment points of natural and hair extensions.
Curls after the procedure being discussed will be very confused. Carefully combing them with a special comb will take at least 3-4 times a day. Otherwise, the hairstyle will look untidy.
Sleeping with loose hair extensions is strictly prohibited. Before night rest strands will have to braid in a braid or to collect in another way.
Correction of hair extensions is carried out regularly - every 2-4 months. To do this, you need to allocate a few hours of free time and, of course, a tidy sum to pay for the services of the master.
The cost of the procedure with high-quality materials is always high. If in the salon a girl is offered huge discounts, she should think that there is some kind of catch in the situation. Either work will be done by a novice stylist, or low-quality, low-quality materials are used.

Some disadvantages of the procedure depend on the type of extension. So, when using metal clips during the session, a girl with a finished haircut will constantly feel the presence of unnecessary accessories in her head and feel uncomfortable because of this. The buildup with glue will limit access to the swimming pool, saunas, swimming in the lake and the sea for women.

Tips on how to choose the type of hair

Before agreeing on the extension procedure, the master must examine the type of hair and its condition from a potential client. Only after a careful analysis of the curls and interviewing the girl will it be possible to find the perfect way to increase the length and volume of the hair for her.

Thus, the tape extension of the Japanese type is well suited to owners of dark, hard hair. In the process, donor curls are attached to the hair roots with miniature metal accessories (for example, beads). And fair-haired ladies will be better suited to the same method of building, but according to Spanish technology, in the process of which an adhesive composition is used, diluted with black or white dye depending on the shade of the client's hair. Building places will be hardly noticeable even for blondes.

Hollywood extensions are forbidden to hold on very weak thin hair. If the client's hair temporarily falls out, for example, after a recent birth, she will need to wait until this process is completely stopped. You can not choose a Hollywood building and owners of sensitive skin.

The choice of material for building

It is very important to choose the right strands for building, given the type of curls. Owners of Slavic appearance with soft hair are well suited so-called "Slavic hair." They are the most popular among Russian masters and at the same time the most expensive. Strands have a smooth structure and look great even without any processing.

"European" hair is of lower quality. They are imported from India and Latin America. Curls before sale are treated with acid, then painted in the right shades and filled with silicone. As a result, such hairs cost less than Slavic ones. They are well suited for owners of tight, thick hair with porous hair.

Owners of “southern Russian” hair can boast a good combination of price and quality. Such curls are always obedient, soft, elastic and unpretentious, but not too voluminous. These strands are not suitable for girls with thick and thick hair.

“Asian” hairs enter the world market from China and Korea. Outwardly, they initially look gorgeous. But in order to preserve the attractive appearance of such curls, they need to be very carefully looked after. Selected strands are the most budget. They are also treated with a special compound that removes hair scales, then they are painted and covered with silicone.

In addition to natural donor strands that look natural, they are suitable for dyeing, curling, straightening, and are worn for quite some time. Masters of modern beauty salons offer their customers more and artificial hair. They are light, they shine beautifully, they are cheap, but at the same time they exclude almost all procedures for laying and coloring, they are easily deformed and serve the girl only for a short time.

Of the additional materials, the stylist uses, for example, keratin, resin, or glue stickers. They are selected and acquired by the hairdresser himself after, together with the client, he was able to finally determine the method of hair extensions.

What type of extension to choose, description

It is difficult to say unequivocally which hair extension is better. To find the answer to this question for yourself, it is worth examining each individual method carefully and in detail. The main methods of building the master select five.

Tape building refers to cold methods. During the session, the curls are not thermally affected. The main advantage of this method is its amazing speed. In just 1.5–2 hours, the girl gets a new, chic hairstyle with long hair. It will be possible to pass with it up to 12 months if the master did everything correctly and used quality materials.

After this build-up, there is no particular restriction in daily life with hair. You can safely swim, walk in the solarium and sauna. The method without the use of thermal effects on the hair almost does not harm them.

True, hair ribbons are clearly visible with a sharp gust of wind or with a high complex hair. Individual strands from time to time can fall out, tearing off and living healthy hairs. This is usually the fault of an inexperienced master. Used in the process of fixing hair extensions glue has a negative effect on the scalp. Severe irritation may occur.

Tape building is Spanish and Japanese. The first type involves the "sticking" of hair on a special composition. The second is fastening with small metal accessories - beads, clips, clips.

Hollywood

Technique of Hollywood extensions today also falls into the list of safe. She appeared about a decade ago in Hollywood. The procedure was used to quickly change the images of actresses for films, without using wigs.

Initially hair extensions were attached to the "live" special threads. Therefore, there were serious problems with combing. Today, tresses are replaced by keratin capsules.

The main disadvantage of the technique is the ability to build up only on already sufficiently grown hair. Their length should be at least 20 cm. Otherwise, the connection of donor and own hair will be too clearly visible.

Building up this way is a painstaking process. It takes about 3 - 4 hours and requires a high level of skill from the hairdresser.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound extension combines all the advantages of capsular and tape techniques. On the one hand, it does not spoil living hair with high temperatures, and on the other, it allows you to attach strands to the shortest hair.

Artificial curls are also attached to the natural with keratin capsules. Here they are only melted by ultrasonic waves. The whole procedure takes up to 4 hours. The shorter the original head of hair, the harder it will be to make the build-up and the more time it takes.

The main disadvantage of this version of the procedure is its high cost. The price of an ultrasound extension starts from 25 thousand rubles, and in some salons it may even exceed 100 thousand rubles.
