In this article I want explore the differences between the two main hair extension methods in the market today.
They
both have the positive and negative sides. I hope this article will
help explain and give you a better understanding to make a better
informed choice.
Bonded Hair Extensions
Background
These
were the very first way in which hair extensions attached to existing
hair. Because of this they have seen lots of development over past
years. The way in which bonds applied has changed so has the bond
material.
In
the earlier days of extensions bonds where simply hair friendly glue
that the user rubbed around the hair. Resulting in messy heavy bonds
difficult to remove and easily seen. Sometimes this type of application
is still seen and applied by un-reputable stylists.
This
changed and small keratin bonds developed. Keratin is the main
ingredient of our hair this protein is first choice to combine both
hairs.
Instead of the application being made with the fingers this change to heat gun well know today in extension application.
A
major problem for bonds is patches that occur on the scalp. This is due
to the weight of the bond and hair pulling out the hair. To fix this
hair weaves are hung in the hair to correctly distribute the weight this
and better bonding techniques helped stopped the risk.
