Features of fixation on the back of the head
The Hollywood Hair method involves weaving donor strands , which allows you to obtain not only the desired length, but also the optimal volume.
The technology for performing the procedure involves several stages:
- preliminary cleaning of hair with shampoo;
- thorough drying;
- separation of small strands from the total volume;
- separation of strands with longitudinal partings;
- fixation of separated donor strands with keratin capsules;
- melting the capsule with ultrasonic forceps;
- hair styling.
The tresses are fixed manually by sewing curls in the root area of your own hair. Braided braids prevent strands from slipping, and their structural characteristics and length are selected strictly individually.
By the way! The curls used can be wavy or completely straight.
Features and professional secrets of extensions:
- sewing donor strands to root braids;
- absence of glue and hot resins that damage hair;
- there are no restrictions when wearing curls extended using the Hollywood Hair method;
- The time interval between corrections is on average a couple of months.
The tresses used in extensions are selected to match the characteristics of the client’s hair, so they perfectly match its shade and structure. The length of natural donor strands varies from 30 cm to one meter, and their total number can be from 50 to 300 pieces. The set of hair used in this extension technique is durable and can be used many times.
Analogues and similar procedures
There are many extension procedures. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing a method, it is important to consider contraindications and potential harm to hair.
Hairdressers offer alternatives to Hollywood extensions:
- hot Italian method . The method involves attaching donor strands to native ones using thermal tongs. The curls are fixed with keratin resin and form a transparent capsule at the junction. Wearing period – 4–6 months;
- Brazilian way . In essence, this is a simple weaving of 2 additional long strands into the original braids;
- nanotechnology . The procedure takes about 12 hours and involves securing the strands with a safe gel. Suitable even for weakened and very thin hair;
- The application of wax is absolutely invisible and looks as natural as possible. A significant disadvantage of the method is difficult care. The mop is difficult to comb, and the risk of tangles increases. Using a hot hairdryer, ironing, or visiting the sauna is strictly prohibited;
- 3D renewal of strands using a thermal sleeve . Hot keratin or adhesive composition is used as a fixing material. The minimum initial length of native hair can reach 5 cm, and the result looks very natural.
On a note! You can get the most natural result only by using high-quality material.
Advantages and disadvantages
Along with other hair extension techniques, the Hollywood Hair procedure has clear advantages, but it is also not without some disadvantages that must be taken into account when choosing this technique.
Main advantages:
- absolute safety of the procedure;
- no need to refrain from visiting the sauna, swimming pool, spa or bathhouse;
- ease of dyeing extensions;
- natural and attractive appearance;
- well hidden mounting points.
The disadvantages include the rather high cost of the procedure , the need to carry out correction work quite often, and the inability to do some hairstyles that expose areas of fixation of donor strands.
A rather thick connection can be felt, so a thick “suture” may cause some discomfort at first. Among other things, you need to remember that an unprofessional procedure often becomes the main cause of flaking curls, unaesthetic and sloppy hairstyles.
