Different Types and Styles of Clip in Hair Extensions Sheffield – Techniques and Effects
There are several different kinds and styles of hair extensions, each
with a length and effect designed to fit an occasion. Long ornate hair
extensions for example are ideal for bridal hair and special occasions.
A modern hair extension “look” can be created in a single appointment,
using every minute techniques and technology. The majority of hair extension
appointments should be expected to take at least a couple of hours and for
extensions looking to create a specific hairstyle effect, the customer should
expect between four and six hours of attendance at the hairdresser’s chair.
The basic idea of modern clip in hair extensions Sheffield is to make
the customer’s hair look drastically different from normal, but also to look
natural. This is the reason why a large number of appointments take a
reasonable amount of time to complete. The hair extension material is normally
made of natural human hair to give the natural look, which may or may not be
treated to appear in a certain way or to respond to hair styling preparations
such as mousse and spray.
Clip in Hair extensions Sheffield have differing degrees of permanence.
Clip on (or clip in) hair extensions are the least permanent and therefore the
quickest to do. A simple clip in extension can even be done at home by the
wearer, which can be removed every night before sleeping. The clip in hair
extension is clipped to the existing hair near the root, which is sectioned and
the clip is affixed to each section.
A bonded hair extension effectively glues the hair to the existing hair.
Bonded hair extensions take longer than clip-ins to complete, and are semi
permanent. The hair stays glued in for as long as four or six weeks, at which
point the customer must return to the hairdressers for a maintenance
appointment.
Sewn in hair extensions also known as a weave, are done with lace or net
caps, which are inserted into the existing hair; the extensions may be sewn
onto them. By sewing natural human hair onto a net or lace in this way, the
hairdresser can closely mimic the natural length and direction of growth in
“real” hair. Thus, deliver a completely different look for the customer without
the tell-tale clumping or odd directions of a transplant or a wig.
Normally hair extensions are conducted using premium hair. This is real
human hair that lasts a reasonably long time but often tangles due to the
cuticles catching on each other. Premium hair is also available which are chemically
treated and doesn’t tangle easily.
Artificial hair may also be used. While natural looking and easy to work
with, artificial hair doesn’t last as long. The reason behind this is it is adversely
affected by friction and general wear and tear. Artificial hair has no cuticle
protecting it from fraying, as it rubs against other strands of hair.
Hair extensions can be done quickly or slowly depending on the end
requirements and will give a completely natural looking cut.
