Long hair suits absolutely any woman, especially if they are thick and beautiful. Fortunately, the modern world provides an opportunity not to grow curls for several years, but to do it in a couple of hours thanks to improved extension techniques. Capsular hair extensions have become a real breakthrough in hair extension technologies. The popularity of the procedure is growing every day, and there are more and more people who want to quickly and efficiently lengthen curls. This is because, unlike other techniques, capsule extensions are sufficiently strong and durable. And also, most importantly, an easy and safe procedure. The success of such an extension directly depends on the accuracy of the connection of natural and extended strands. And this factor depends only on the hands of the master.
Who can increase?
The rule of thumb is that capsule extensions are done onhair, the length of which is not less than 5 centimeters. This technology has no restrictions on the color of the hair, it is suitable for both blondes and brunettes. The essence of the procedure is to connect your hair with donor hair using small capsules, which are made of natural polymer. The master personally forms small capsule strands at a distance of no more than 2 mm from the roots of natural hair. On average, there are about 200-250 locks per hair, the duration of the procedure can be up to 5 hours, depending on the scale of work. Many women are sure that capsule extensions are no good just because the capsules will be noticeable, but they all turn out to be the same color as natural hair, so it is extremely difficult to notice small capsules of 2 mm in size. Also, do not panic that the strands will fall off at the most inopportune moment, the fastenings between the extended and native hair are quite strong. Many people are interested in the question of how many capsules are needed for hair extensions, on average, 150-200 pieces can be dispensed with.
What capsular extension techniques are there?
Like any extension technique, the capsule method has its own varieties. The most popular, judging by the reviews, are Italian and English technologies. They should be looked into in more detail. Each technique uses natural hair extensions on capsules.
Italian technology
The essence of Italian technology is that for the procedure, strands already formed in advance are used withsmall capsules. And the extension procedure is as follows: the capsules are heated, under the influence of heat, the keratin from which they are composed becomes softer, due to which the master forms droplets that hold donor and natural strands together. If the master uses special tongs, then the capsules will be flat, if he makes them by hand, then they will be round. After the keratin hardens again, the small flat or round capsules are not visible at all and do not cause any discomfort. Due to the fact that the capsules consist of keratin, they do not harm natural hair in any way. Hair extensions using Italian technology can last at least 4 months, but the hairstyle still requires minimal correction. After capsular extensions according to Italian technology, you can not be afraid of temperature changes, or going to the pool, to the beach or to the bath. This extension technique is used on any part of the head, whether it is the back of the head or temples. With the help of Italian technology, you can also lengthen the annoying bangs. If you are wondering how many hair extension capsules you will need, then, for example, in the photo below, it took 160 capsules to complete the procedure.
English technology
This technique is the hot extension standard. And the method is quite complicated, unlike the Italian one. And if in the previous technology the strands have already been formed, then in the English master he does it manually. For this, the following components are used: organic refractory resin, which includes a largea dose of keratin, and a special glue gun. In this technique, only natural hair is used, and the strands formed by the master can be of absolutely any density - this is the main advantage of the English technology. Carefully select a master for English extension, because the result of the work depends only on the hands of a professional. Poorly fixed capsules will fall out after combing, and may even fall off at the most inconvenient time. Capsules should not exceed the size of a grain of rice. If the master did the work in accordance with the rules, then the capsules should be completely invisible even to the touch. In comparison with the Italian technology, the English one has the following disadvantages: the strands can “slide”, they are less resistant to sudden changes in temperature, so the bath will most likely have to be abandoned, and due to the fact that the master collects the strands on his own, the capsules can be different sizes. Because of this, it is difficult to increase, for example, bangs.
Microcapsule technology
The capsules used in the Italian technology are visually invisible in the hair, but they can be felt when touched. This can be a problem if your boyfriend doesn't know you have hair extensions, for example. In order to avoid embarrassing situations and reduce the load on your own hair, you can resort to the microcapsule extension procedure. For this technique, thin strands and microcapsules are used. This technology allows you to grow hair and make the junction of your own hair and extensions completely invisible. This method was especially fond of the owners of weak, thin and naturally dry curls. Feedback on microcapsule technology is very positive. The most expensive such procedure will cost residents of Moscow, but, for example, in Yaroslavl, capsules for hair extensions are much cheaper.
When to correct?
Despite the fact that the technology is completely harmless and very durable, you still have to resort to correction procedures. This is because your own hair still grows, due to which the capsules slowly but surely fall down. Depending on the rate of hair growth (this may be after 2, or maybe after 4 months), there is also a need for correction. To do this, the capsules will have to be softened again and removed. Then the specialist must carefully comb the hair to get rid of the remaining particles of keratin and resin. Then there is a re-growth. It is important before the procedure begins, rinse the hair again with a degreasing shampoo. The advantages of correction are that the same donor curls can be used several times. A complete replacement is recommended after a year and a half. Inexpensive hair extensions with capsules can be done if you turn to a beginner who is training his skills.
Benefits of capsule extensions
Like all technologies, capsule extensions have their advantages and disadvantages. Let's deal with the first:

- Suitable for any hair type, no harm or unexpected results.
- Such hair does not bring discomfort and is not felt at all, regardless of size.
- Hair looks exactly like natural hair.

At the moment, capsule extension is considered the most popular technique. You can buy hair extension capsules in Moscow at any professional store.
Cons of capsular extensions
Besides the obvious advantages, the technique also has its disadvantages:
- Native hair is exposed to heat.
- Hair needs to be combed carefully to avoid tangles.
- With the English extension technique, you should beware of too high temperatures.
- Extension should not be carried out by those who have allergies, skin diseases, tumors, which are accompanied by hair loss.

The list of cons ends here, and it clearly loses to the many advantages of the capsule techniqueextensions. If you want hair extensions that look fresh and natural, and that won't harm your natural hair or scalp, this extension technique is the perfect solution.
Consequences and feedback on capsule extensions
Like any hair-related procedure, capsule extensions can have different consequences. However, these consequences depend solely on how you monitor the condition of the strands in the process of wearing. According to the reviews, capsule extensions do no harm if the hair is carefully looked after and taken care of for their he alth.
Reviews of capsule extensions can be found very different. And, as practice shows, the satisfaction of clients with work depends only on the hands of the master. If high-quality materials were used, and the rules of technology were followed from start to finish, thick hair without adverse effects is guaranteed. Girls who got to an unscrupulous master note that hair may fall out, and extensions may be too noticeable to others.
