Women who are looking for an alternative to their tired and dry natural hair can consider wearing a hair weave. Besides offering an instant new look, a hair weave also serves as protection to the natural hair from the damage caused by further processing. However, unlike other integrations we put on the body, hair weaves are quite difficult to install due to their intricate structure.
There's a wide variety of methods of installing hair extensions or weaves, although they share a common end: to leave no trace of installation and make the weave look natural. This seemingly impossible mission takes time and expertise to accomplish. Some popular bonding methods for hair extensions include hot and cold fusion, clip in, shrinkies, and Brazilian knots.
Hot and cold fusion involves the use of keratin. This is considered a safe method for bonding hair extensions since the hair is generally made of keratin. This means the bonding agent applied is less likely to harm the natural hair. However, hot fusion can be risky due to the high temperature required to connect the strands of the weave to the natural hair.
The hair extension can also be clipped onto the natural hair using special human clips. The result is usually a continuous flow of hair without a trace of clipping. The clips are hidden underneath and integrated into the tightened ends of the hair. Many suppliers ensure that the hair comes from a single donor to prevent shredding and tangling. Brazilian knots, on the other hand, involves the use of a special thread technique that allows for a stand-by-strand installation. The result is lighter and sturdier than other methods and is also easy to undo. Depending on the growth of the hair, the knots will remain effective for up to four months.
No matter what method is used, bonding hair extensions is a thing best left to experienced hairstylists. However, any woman can learn over time so long as she has the right resources. It will greatly help to seek the advice of experts before deciding to have a hair extension installed.
