Everything you need to know about hair extensions: Methods, care and durability Do you dream of longer, fuller hair? Hair extensions could be the solution, but it's important to choose the right method and quality for your hair. Here's your complete guide to extensions so you can make the best choice for your hair. Choose the right method for your hair The braiding method is one of the most popular and gentle application techniques. This method involves making small, flat braids close to the scalp, where braids of 100% real hair are sewn in. The great thing about this technique is that it does not require the use of heat, glue or chemicals, which minimizes wear and tear on your natural hair. A typical application with 150 grams of hair takes around 90 minutes and is ideal for all hair types - from thin to thick hair. The result needs to be touched up after 6-8 weeks. The Invisible Bead method is specially designed for those with fine or normal hair that may have been exposed to wear and tear. Here, micro rings are applied along the scalp, and the braids are sewn directly onto these rings. Because the method is completely free of glue, heat and chemicals, it is extremely gentle and gives your natural hair time to recover. This method is especially good if you have difficulty hiding extensions with other techniques. Mini Bonds are the ultimate solution for thin hair and so-called "problem areas". The ultra-small extension tufts are so discreet that they are almost invisible and blend perfectly with your own hair. The application takes 2-4 hours due to the great precision, but the result is so natural that no one will be able to tell the difference. Mini Bonds can also be combined with other methods to achieve the perfect look. Hair quality - an investment that means everything When choosing extensions, quality is crucial for both appearance and durability. European Luxury Remy Hair is top quality that lasts up to 1 year with proper care. This hair has a fine texture that fits perfectly with Scandinavian hair and feels natural and exclusive. It requires minimal care and responds excellently to styling. Premium Remy Hair is a more economical option with a shelf life of approximately 6 months. Although it also has a fine texture, it requires more care and more frequent replacement to keep it healthy and shiny. Care - the secret behind beautiful extensions Proper care is essential for the longevity and appearance of your extensions. Extensions do not receive natural moisture and nourishment from the scalp, so you need to add this manually. Daily care: Always use a small dab of oil before combing, especially in the morning, as bed linen dries out the hair. Always comb through the hair before washing and use a wet brush designed for extensions. Wash: Wash your hair 2-3 times a week with your head up. Avoid tangling your hair - instead, gently massage shampoo and conditioner in. Use a hair treatment once a week and always finish with conditioner. Rinse with cool water at the end for extra shine. Styling: Blow dry and smooth on low heat below 160 degrees. Always use heat protection and finish with a little oil or leave-in treatment. Special situations: When on a beach holiday, use sunscreen and conditioner both before and after swimming. It is advisable to braid your hair tightly before swimming to protect it. With the right method, quality and care, extensions can give you the hair of your dreams for months to come and become a natural part of your beauty routine.
