Hair Extensions: What are the latest trends?

A precious remedy for those who do not naturally have thick and voluminous hair, Healthy Hair Extensions Dublin is now within everyone’s reach, even for those who simply want to change their look in view of an important event.

Have you ever seen an elaborate hairstyle or a full, flowing mane and thought how can you have such hair?

The answer is: you can have them!

While Mother Nature may have been more generous with some, it’s also true that the enviable looks of influencers and actresses are often achieved with the help of Healthy Hair Extensions Dublin provided by skilled hairstylists.

The first love of professionals: Keratin extensions

The first extensions that came onto the market and are still the most used are keratin. This is a technique that allows you to lengthen your hair using a keratin polymer that binds your natural hair to the extension strands. The polymer is heated and modeled so that it is as invisible as possible. They last about 3/4 months and when your hair grows, it is necessary to remove the keratin and replace the extensions.

Fast and invisible: double-sided tape

The second most used technique to add volume and length to the hair is double-sided extensions. These are two strands that are applied one above and one below the hair that you want to lengthen or thicken and are fixed with a natural double-sided band. They last about 2 months and are applied in a very short time.

“Replacing” Your Hair with Weaves

The weaving method consists of creating braids with your own hair and then sewing the extensions onto them with the help of a needle and thread. This allows you to double the volume of your hair in a short time. Weaving Healthy Hair Extensions Dublin can give you the appearance of having entirely new hair, as the applied skein is quite generous (a single skein weighs 100 grams).

New trends: micro ring extensions

Let’s talk about the latest arrivals in hair extensions and microring extensions. Microring Healthy Hair Extensions Dublin eliminates the need for heat tools, adhesives, or needles and thread, using small rings to secure the locks of hair, and then, with the help of pliers, everything will be fixed. This application method, which must be entrusted to a professional, makes these hair extensions one of the least invasive techniques on the market.

Which hair extensions are applied with this technique?

In a tuft

Double band

Weaving

Let’s start with the micro rings per strand: these are applied one by one with extreme precision. The rings that hold the hair to the extensions are very small and exert light pressure (to remove them, simply open the rings and remove the strands). The result will be natural and uniform on the entire scalp.

Double band micro ring extensions are ideal for those who don’t like spending a lot of time at the hairdresser! The same method of applying the locks is used but using a 12 cm wide band. The band has a super thin and flexible rubber attachment that can guarantee maximum comfort on the nape of the neck. After approximately 3 months (or approximately 3 cm of hair regrowth) it will be enough to replace the rings to be able to reuse the double bands.

Finally, you have weaving, whose application has always seen the aid of braids and needle and thread. Today, the new frontier is that of an application via microring. With this system, a band of weaving is placed on the nape of the neck and, with a special crochet hook, two locks of hair are taken that will be positioned one above and the other below the weaving, and finally both blocked with the ring. In this way, the extension will be perfectly adherent to the nape of the neck and therefore invisible.

In conclusion

All the methods listed so far are valid, tested, and safe for your hair. It is advised to always turn to a professional who can best evaluate the needs of your hair.

The important thing is to always prefer Healthy Hair Extensions Dublin produced with natural hair of Remy quality, which has the particularity of having all the cuticles facing the same direction, thus avoiding knots between them.

The extensions will thus be identical to natural hair both to the touch and to the sight, and you will be able to style or tone them as you like, without the risk of damaging them.
