Preparation

- locks for hair;
- special separator of strands;
- resin for fastening the lock (depending on the technology of building);
- a shaver for leveling the borders;
- tongs to secure the strands.
Before you grow hair at home, you need to check the ends of the hair - they should not be cut off. Staining should be carried out before the immediate building procedure, and not after. Before the procedure, the hair must be washed with a mild shampoo and dried.
Hot method
Before you
grow hair at home using the hot method, they should be separated with a special separator around the entire circumference of the head. The diameter of the strands should be less than eight millimeters. You should start moving from the frontal part of the head to the back of the head. Next, select a strand and at a distance of one centimeter from the tip of the hair, attach an artificial one with a keratin capsule at the end. The joint between the strands needs to be clamped with forceps that will melt the capsule and hold the ends of the strand together. After you have finished the hair extension at home using the hot method, the joints of the strands should be treated with a shaver along the entire length. Keratin capsules can be replaced with wax, silicone or hot resin. The use of these materials can cause very rough joints, which always need careful processing by a shaver. The disadvantage of this method is the thermal effect, which adversely affects the health of natural hair.
Cold method
