Microcapsule hair extensions: Extend the Magic and Microbead

Shiny, healthy hair is a beauty and a tool for seduction. Every girl who does not have luxurious hair, at least once thought about extending their own curls. Consider the popular procedure of Microbead hair extensions. About the technology and the nuances of this method, you should learn more about it, before deciding to go to the master to change the hairstyle.

The principle of the method

The principle of operation is very simple – strands of donor curls are attached to the native strands with the help of Microbead. This method differs from the capsule method in the size of the capsules themselves: they are very small, almost weightless.

Also, the difference is that the tweezers used in the capsule method are 6 millimeters, while the Microbead method uses 3 millimeters. This significantly reduces the weight of the strands created, does not weigh down the hair, and reduces the risk of ruining the hair.

Before the procedure begins, the master chooses the donor material. He evaluates not only the color, but also the structure. The “raw material” of Slavic origin is valued higher. It always looks more natural and breaks less. With the peculiarities of the choice of natural hair for hair extensions, the pros and cons of each type of strands, read on our website.

The procedure itself is a method of hot curl extensions, the most gentle at this stage. For Microbead hair extensions, very small capsules and very thin locks of hair are used. Microbead contain wax and protein, which strengthen the strength. With this method, the hair strands are virtually indistinguishable from real hair, both visually and to the touch.

Extend Magic extensions

With the advent of Extend Magic, extensions are now even easier and more efficient. The Extent Magic doses the glue itself, and the capsule is even smoother and more invisible. Its appearance and size is similar to a grain of rice. With this device, it became possible to build up on very short haircuts. Even men began to do such a procedure, hiding bald spots.

The technique is very simple, here are its stages:

Consultation of the master. The master listens to your wishes, examines the hair, gives a consultation on the selection of color and length of donor hair. Together with a specialist, you choose the strands of the right thickness and structure, suitable for your locks.

Hair preparation. Your own hair may be dyed before hair extensions. They are washed with a special shampoo. Do not use masks and conditioners, as the capsule with the donor strands may slip from the hair treated in this way. Donor hair, as a rule, comes already processed and with a ready-made capsule. But the master himself can also prepare the false curls.

The main stage, which depends entirely on the qualifications of the specialist. That part of the head, the hair from which is subjected to the build-up, is divided into segments. A thin strand of the native hair is taken a centimeter from the skin, the donor hair is attached to it. A capsule is brought to the junction and both strands are pressed against it. The capsule is heated with Extend Magic. After curing, it takes on the color of the hair.

At the end of the extension procedure, an adaptation haircut is performed. It allows you to align all the hair, natural and augmented, so that there was no trace of extraneous interference in your natural beauty.

Capsules used to consist of keratin and resin, and were heated with tongs to 180 degrees. Now they are made of wax, which only needs to be heated to 90 degrees with the Extent Magic device. Connection with the help of such capsules remains elastic and imperceptible. For quality hair extensions with this method will need a lot more additional strands. If the entire scalp is being extended, about 200 fine strands will be needed.

Microbead hair extension method

Recently, a new method of hair extension Bellargo and Microbead has proven itself well. This method does not weigh down the hair, it is not required to attach many donor strands. It is enough to fix about a hundred pieces. The patented Termohulzen attachment is a heat-sensitive polymer, covered with pores across the surface, attaches the artificial strands to the native hair.

With the help of these fasteners, a special microclimate in the joints and nourishment of the native hair is achieved. The strands are attached very carefully with a special Bellargo apparatus. Polymer sleeves securely fasten, not allowing direct contact with the native hair.

When wearing this hairstyle, the sleeves do not break. They don’t disintegrate, and are practically invisible in the hairdo. This method is used to add from 25 to 100 pieces of donor strands. When building up a hundred pieces, the time will not exceed one and a half hours. It will take even less time, about 30 minutes, to remove the correction.

After the splicing, adaptation takes place within two days. And later, the hair grows properly, it is not deformed. After the removal of the glued strands on, the native curls will not remain creases.

Prices for micro-capsule hair extensions

The method of Microbead hair extensions is very popular and effective. Therefore, its prices are quite high. The price will be based on what type of hair will be used in the work, how many strands will be needed.

Correction and care

With the method of Microbead hair extensions, correction may be needed only after six months. The thing is that super-thin strands are used, which do not weigh down the hair.
