The search for a new image for many girls is almost the meaning of life. The fair sex is constantly experimenting on their appearance with the help of clothes, accessories and fashionable hairstyles. Hair extensions are the easiest way out. It is worth considering the features of extensions for short hair, their types, as well as to study the subtleties of care for each of them.
Extension technologies and their features
Hair extensions are a popular modern practice of appearance correction in women and some men. In talented and skillful hands, hair extensions can completely change your bow, giving a general image of elegance and novelty.
All methods of extension are conventionally divided into two main methods of fastening: hot and cold. It is worth considering these two methods in more detail.
The hot method involves the use of heated resin. In this case, at the site of attachment of donor and new hair, a special capsule is formed (composition - keratin and resin), which performs a fixing and fastening function. Here the hot method is divided into two types of extension.
- English build. In this case, hot resin and glue are used. The tips of the new hair are placed in balls of glue and sealed with resin with native hair. This method is more gentle, it does not irritate the scalp, but with careless combing or the use of force such strands can easily pull out.
- Italian extension. The peculiarity of this type is that special resin capsules are created at the place of bonding of natural and overhead strands. This is a more painstaking procedure and will require special clamps at the attachment point. This method is considered optimal because it does not interfere with combing hair and is able to withstand heavy loads on them.
Care for such hair requires compliance with the following nuances:
- avoid going to saunas and baths,
- use hats to protect the hair from direct sunlight,
- refuse heat treatment of hair in the form of alignments and curls - capsules or balls of glue from the heat can melt and not only spoil the hair, but also damage the natural curls,
- use ordinary shampoo on a natural basis, as from some types of shampoo resin or glue can also dissolve.
It is easy to imagine what the technology of using the cold method is. In this case, the need for heat treatment is completely eliminated. Microcapsules, beads, glue and other materials are used for fastening. The cold method is also divided into several types of capacity.
- Building with tapes. The essence of the tape extension is to mount relatively large locks of hair on a special adhesive tape. The use of this type has such significant advantages as:
- quickness - with the help of a tape method, the fastest way to get a luxurious hairstyle from long, lush hair,
- This option does not exert such strong pressure on native hair, which allows the latter to hold on for a much longer period of time,
- price - this type of building is considered one of the cheapest.
- Another way to cold build - using special clips or small metal balls to the place of attachment of native and false hair. In this case, the clips perform a simple locking function. This method is a little more time consuming (although it all depends on the size of the clips and the thickness of the curls that are being expanded), but it is distinguished by a rather high resistance to external loads.
- Spanish buildup or buildup with special glue, but without the use of resin. This option is more suitable for building girls with blond hair. In this case, a small ball of glue is formed at the place of attachment of native and artificial curls, which then freezes.
If we talk about the features of care after a cold build, then you should pay attention to the following nuances:
- try to use specialized combs to care for long hair, be careful not to touch the attachment points,
- when caring for your hair, try to avoid putting oils, creams and masks on the attachment points, which can weaken the attachment structure and lead to hair loss,
- Because of the extension technology, for some time (usually 2–3 days) you will feel discomfort at the attachment points - this is a natural skin reaction to foreign material, and improper tape mounting can cause allergic reactions on the skin. It is worth remembering these two things in this case, as:
- a properly made extension should not bring much discomfort for a long time,
- over time, the skin will get used to the bindings, your native hair will grow back a little and the base of the mount will weaken.
The above views today appear before us in more fashionable names. Consider the most common.
- Diamond hair - This is a hot extension method, which gets its name from diamond microparticles in the attachment structure. In this case, the capsules are connected to native hair with a special glue (the temperature of heating is at least +120 degrees). This method will require at least 4 hours of hard work from the master.
- Dream Hairs involves the attachment of microcapsules with fortified keratin at the base to thin native curls. This is the longest and most delicate method of extension, since the procedure lasts at least 5 hours. However, this method is the most productive, because the artificial curls will be completely similar to the real ones, and the attachment points will be generally invisible. Yet this technique is often used to lengthen very short native hair (about 3–4 centimeters).
- Extend magic (refers to cold lengthening) - This is another effective method of microcapsule extension for short hair. Here, at the base of the mount, transparent very small wax balls are used. One such procedure will take at least 3 hours of work and 150–200 donor bundles.
- "Bellargo and Microbelargo" - This is the fastest method of building - from 1 to 2 hours. Strands are fastened with special polymer elements that are difficult to distinguish even on close examination. In the same technique, the least donor bundles are used - no more than one hundred.
Care and Correction
Of course, do not forget about the features of care for hair extensions after the procedure itself. It is necessary to consider in detail the care of the two most popular types of capacity: capsular and tape.
- Short hair extensions using microcapsules - this is a very unpretentious type. It does not require a large number of procedures, and therefore more common. Such hair can be combed, styled, styled and dyed with the same success. Correction, as a rule, is carried out on individual preferences, but at least 1 time in half a year. If the hair extensions in this case do not particularly need any care, then a rather responsible mission is placed on the shoulders of natural hair, because the longer the attached strands, the greater the potential load on the base.
In this case, the vitamin-mineral diet and proper nutrition are excellent.
- Hair extension tape way. This type of building will require much more attention from women of fashion. In this case, it is not recommended to do the following:
- combing strands more than 3 times a day, you should start the process itself consistently, from the very tips,
- to go to rest or sleep with undried hair, while using a hair dryer is also undesirable,
- go to places with high humidity - use of baths, baths, saunas,
- the use of cosmetic accessories with a share of alcohol in the base,
- You should also avoid unnecessary manipulations with the hairstyle in the area of attachment, the correction in this case is more necessary and is carried out at least 1 time in 2 months.
Recommendations for the length of native hair
To stem the debate about optimal hair length for elongation, We present to your attention the following recommendations for the length of hair for certain types of extensions:
- for capsular extension with resin at the base of attachment, the hair length should not be less than 15 cm,
- capsular extension with keratin at the base requires hair length not shorter than the type of square,
- Microcapsule-based technology is the most picky and can be used in skilled hands with 5–7 cm of natural hair,
- The tape version is the most “greedy”, for a beautiful build in this case, the optimal length of native hair must be at least 20 centimeters.
Advantages and disadvantages
Although the build-up of many girls has become a natural process of caring for their appearance, yet it has its both positive and negative points and consequences. Let's look at the pros.
- Security. High-quality extension of the strands does not make the natural hair heavier and does not weaken their structure; this applies to any method of extension, both hot and cold.
- Speed and simplicity. Every girl understands what efforts need to be made to grow perfectly long hair. This implies not only permanent hair care in the form of masks, firming creams, baths and other procedures, but also the duration of this process. To build hair more than 30 centimeters, most girls need to wait if not months, then years. When building this process is reduced to several days, and it is often critical if there is nothing left until the birthday of a friend, brother's wedding or the same graduation party.
- Versatility. Even 10 years ago even the most experienced master would not have taken up hair extensions shorter than 15 centimeters, then thanks to the current technologies this threshold was reduced to 5–7 centimeters. This means that you don’t have to have at least some long hair in order to get luxurious strands as a result. The main thing - to find an experienced master who dares to take on this important role.
- Some types of extension, for example, using capsules, will not limit your daily life. With the same confidence, you will be able to attend gyms, swimming pools, take hot baths and not be afraid of falling out of strands. Not to mention the fact that hair extensions can just as well curl and dye.
Important! It is a quality hair extension can not harm the hair.
It is necessary to consider the main disadvantages of hair extensions.
- Big risk of improper or unprofessional build-up. And it is still good, if the hairstyle in this case will look just untidy or scattered. Incompetently increased strands at any inopportune moment can simply fall out. As for natural hair, the latter from the wrong extension can weaken and even lose color.
- Time consuming Hair extension is not a second process, it will require a lot of patience and perseverance from you - professional hair extensions often last from 3-4 hours or more. Not to mention the extra time you spend on trips to the master just to check the reliability of fastening the strands and the integrity of the capsules or tapes.
- Cost is a kind of scourge for building up. Separate types of this process at the expense of time-consuming and expensive materials often fly into modern fashionable women in a pretty penny. As a rule, this translates into campaigns for not particularly proven inexpensive barbers, which ultimately brings not quite the expected result.
With hair extensions, remember only one thing - Carefully approach the choice of salon and master. Before starting work, a skillful master will always carefully consider your native hair, assess their fragility, obedience and length. And only after that will offer the best option for lengthening. Remember that professional and high-quality building can not cost a penny and be done in half an hour.
And do not forget to follow the above tips on caring for your hair after the extension procedure. Successful extension and further wearing of curls also strongly depends on the haircut master, as well as on the hostess.

Features of the procedure
It is considered to be short curls, the length of which does not exceed 10, according to other classifications - 15 or even 18 centimeters. Many hairdressers are guided by the fact that the edges of such strands should not go below the earlobes. In any case, relatively recently, the lengthening of short hair seemed an impossible task.
Most of the masters in the salons were taken to work only if the hair reached 10-20 centimeters. With the development of technology, the minimum indicator has decreased to 4–5 centimeters.
During the procedure, thin bunches of natural hair are attached to your own strands using various techniques. Before this, the material is pre-treated: clean, paint. The longer stackable curls, the more expensive the service will cost the client. Sometimes hairdressers refuse to perform the procedure, but usually this indicates their lack of qualifications, lack of confidence in their abilities or unwillingness to engage in labor-intensive work.
Building up, especially on short hair, is a creative process, and the final result depends on how conscientiously the wizard approaches the task. Asymmetrical haircuts add complexity, because in this case it is necessary to fix the strands not strictly in partings, but in an irregular way.
The specialist should take care that the joints are invisible. He will probably have to shape the silhouette of his hair in a special way, perhaps making a cascade or thinning. Therefore, focus not only on the quality of the stackable material, but also on the qualification of the hairdresser.
Attention! The hardest thing to pick up donor bundles for curly curls. Read more about curly and wavy hair extensions on our website.
Length restrictions
Depending on the technology used, the initial length may be very short. Thus, the microcapsule method or Diamond Hair allows you to work with 5-centimeter curls. For strands from 3 centimeters invented the way Extend Magic.
Although this is not the limit: now even the hair that has grown just a centimeter is extended. The technique that allows this is called Dream Hairs.
If you do not know whether it is possible to increase the strands on your short hairstyle - sign up for a consultation in the salon. The master should correctly explain what opportunities for the procedure opens specifically your haircut, and also explain how much longer it can become:
- 5–7 cm long hair can be extended to the shoulders,
- hair 10–15 centimeters - up to half a meter. For longer options, a minimum of 20 centimeters of stock of own strands is required.
Luxurious curls up to the waist, attached to a short haircut, will become an exorbitant weight for the entire head.therefore do not demand from the master the impossible.
The cost of the service is determined individually. The total price depends on the complexity of the work, the thickness and length of the curls (both your own and growing ones), the technology chosen, the number of bundles of donor material and other factors. Based on this, you can meet the 5000 rubles, and you can spend 10-20 thousand rubles.
Not all salons offer extension services, including short-haired.
Contraindications
You can not lengthen the hair of any length, if they are weakened, damaged by recent dyeing or chemical perm, strongly fall out. Also refuse the procedure in such cases:
- taking strong antibiotics
- Chemotherapy,
- inflammations, wounds on the head,
- skin ailments, including seborrhea.
Tip Building up at the age of 18 years can negatively affect the condition of curls in the future, weaken them.
There are two main ways to attach strands: hot and cold. In the first case, the bunches are attached to the native hair with the help of molten resin, similar to candle wax. The cold option eliminates thermal effects on the hair. It uses glue, beads, small capsules. Any of the methods is divided into technologies (English, Spanish, Italian and others), but not all of them are optimal for concise haircuts.
Here are the characteristics of the techniques that lengthen the short strands without problems. They are called microcapsules, as tiny particles are used to attach donor bundles:
- Bellargo and Microbelargo. The technique does not weight the hair, because it does not involve fastening a large number of overhead curls. As a rule, they need about a hundred. Strands are fixed by special polymers that are difficult to see even on a short head of hair. The extension process lasts quickly, about 1.5 hours.
- Diamond hair. Refers to the hot method. Small capsules are attached to native hair with glue heated to a temperature of 120 ° C. The name of the method was not chosen by chance: there are diamond microparticles in the adhesive composition, which improve the hair structure. The duration of such a procedure is about 3-4 hours. Read more about Diamond Hair diamond hair extensions on our website.
- Dream Hairs. If you look at the implementation of this technology from the side or in the video, then surely compare the work of a hairdresser with the skill of a jeweler. The waxed strands are attached to very thin native curls with the help of microcapsules, which include fortified keratin. The work is long, painstaking and time consuming, but the result is worth it: it’s almost impossible to see the attachment points. Due to this, the technique is used even for bangs or hair that has grown no more than an inch, in the area of the crown and temples. The number of donor bundles is approximately 200–250 pieces.
- Extend magic. It is considered cold technology of microcapsule building, because the heating temperature of the adhesive does not exceed 90 ° C. For the procedure, take a transparent wax, which eventually adapts to the desired hair color. Capsules are very small, like a grain of rice, and invisible. One procedure requires from 100 to 200 extensible strands. The method is applied to the hair length of 3 centimeters.
Effect duration
New microcapsule technologies that make the results of the procedure invisible to others, make it less likely to resort to correction. On average, a hairstyle update is required every 3-5 months. Much depends on how fast your haircut grows. Sometimes you have to visit the master every 2-3 months. During the correction, the hairdresser will remove the donor bundles and, after processing, attach them again.
Attention! Independently remove the overhead strands is strictly prohibited. This should be done only by an expert.
Advantages and disadvantages
Building with microcapsule technology has many significant advantages:
- quick transformation
- cardinal image change,
- the opportunity to visit the pool and sauna, swim in the sea, which can not be done in the case of some other techniques,
- natural appearance
- weightlessness of capsules, ease of wearing strands,
- sparing effect on native hair,
- the ability to lengthen even very short curls,
- long effect, no need to come to the salon often for correction,
- minimum list of restrictions
- application in any part of the head.
But even these modern ways have their own limitations:
- very high cost, including the complexity of the work,
- the duration of the procedure sometimes reaches 5 hours,
- the presence of contraindications and restrictions on care,
- the impossibility in some cases to give additional volume to the head of hair.
Before you decide on the procedure, look through thematic reviews with photos.
With the right technology and careful care, the false curls will not cause you problems. The main thing is to prevent their confusion in a timely manner. New microcapsule methods will allow to treat the strands as if they were their own: to paint them, to lay them, to dry them with a hair dryer. However, it is worth to ask the master, who will lengthen your hair, specific rules of care and a list of restrictions.

Before and after pictures
See how women are transformed after hair extensions on short hair: photos before and after.
If you choose the right wizard who will build you up, and the appropriate technology - hardly anyone would guess that the curls are not yours. And what, in principle, the difference? The main thing is that you feel beautiful and confident, then a waste of time and money is worth it.
Of course, on short haircuts, the artificial lengthening of the strands can be noticeable, but here the talent of the master and the right hairstyle come to the rescue. The second disadvantage that a woman may encounter is the need for constant styling and carefully carry out procedures for the care of hair extensions.
After you have increased your hair, pay attention to them, nourish with masks and balms and do not forget about regular correction. On short haircuts, as they are overgrown, the build-up becomes noticeable faster than on medium-length haircuts.
If you carefully care for your curls, they will retain an attractive appearance for a long time and allow you to grow your own length without any problems.
Once again, see the result of hair extensions before and after the video.
Is it possible to make for a very concise haircut?
The task of the master is to make your haircut as natural and attractive as possible, therefore, owners of a short “hedgehog” are recommended to grow it up to 5-7 centimeters. With a capsular extension, the appearance of the hairstyle will be spoiled if the attachment points are noticeable.
It is very difficult to hide the capsules on small strands. The stylist will need to attach them to small tufts, which is considered almost a piece of jewelry. Therefore, come up with a special attention to the choice of stylist and salon, in which you plan to conduct the procedure.
Do curly strands grow?
When building curly locks, the hairdresser has to face some difficulties, because with many procedures it will be very noticeable to combine his and others' strands.
The length of the original hairstyle should be 6 cm or more. In any other case, no master will undertake the procedure. Another nuance is the choice of material from which the curls are made. For girls with short haircuts fit natural wavy hair that has undergone treatment with Double Drown.
They will look unnatural on strands of small length. It becomes immediately noticeable that these are not your curls.
Carefully consider the choice of the master, because wavy hair extensions are much more difficult than straight ones. The procedure should be trusted only leading hairdressers.
The stylist will select a technique that is suitable for the type and structure of hair.

This type of procedure is preferable for a length of at least 20 cm, i.e. kare. The procedure is a sticking of prepared strands of donor strands onto your hair. It is impossible to glue the tape for a short time. It will be immediately noticeable, with the naked eye.
If we take into account the fact that the “hedgehog” grows faster than long ones, then when it is expanded using the tape method, it will be necessary to make a correction about 2 times a month.
Separately allocate microlensing capacity. The main difference of the technique is the use of tapes of small width (about 2 centimeters), and therefore this type of technology is possible for short hair.

Correction should be done in 4-6 months. The hairdresser removes the extension material, with its good condition it is attached again. If the strands are not suitable for another extension, use new ones.
For removal use a special solvent that removes the capsules.
Microbellargo
The donor material is attached to its hair with special polymer sleeves by heating. Wherein Microgilz are used, which are completely invisible under the hair. The temperature at which they are attached is 120 C - not as high as with other methods. When removing or correcting it is not necessary to use any solvents, which is only beneficial for the scalp.
The technology is suitable for owners of fragile, thin hair. And also, if it is necessary to partially fill in the missing volume in certain areas.
Correction occurs by heating the sleeves, which contributes to their softening, easy removal. It must be done every three months.
As with other types of lengthening indications for removal is the poor condition of your own curls.
Diamod Hair

Brad about "just treating them after" "look disgusting." This is said either by people with unsuccessful experiences, or by those who have never done such a procedure at all. Judging by myself. I have long picked a place where to do, found. As a result, at work they decided that I “pulled the hair out of the iron”, although they were on the shoulders (barely), became lower than the shoulder blades - they were so much like mine) I don’t paint my own; it is difficult to get a natural color when painting. In general, this is me all to the fact that if you do well, it will be very beautiful and will not regret. About the damage of their own. all individually. When it took off, it seemed to me that there were fewer mine. It took a couple of weeks - and I don't seem to understand,))) But the fact that mine remained shiny and silky, as before the build-up, for sure. In general, it is necessary to find a good place where they would grow well and, not least, removed normally. But 2-3 cm. - I'm afraid this is not an option. At 12, it is difficult to increase (not everyone can even), and only at 2-3. It will be easy to see. Although, where I did, he somehow managed to make up something on the haircuts (also not at all), but I was not interested - I had enough length.
