Hair extensions with ultrasound
Recently, at one of the women's forums, I read: I sell a device for ultrasonic hair extensions. The price is 5000 rubles. Remained in stock 3 pieces. And further detailed description is given. Literally: the device works on ultrasound, is able to transform acoustic vibration into mechanical energy, allows you to make capsules for building more subtle and imperceptible. Capsule fastening guaranteed high quality. I decided to independently study what ultrasound hair extensions are and share my knowledge with our readers. I hope, grateful reviews will not take long to wait.
The secrets of hair extension technology by ultrasound
Technology hair extensions using ultrasound appeared thanks to one Hollywood hairdresser who wants to improve the existing technology extension. Thinking, he decided to combine the capsule and cold technology, taking from them the best moments. From the hot, he took the thermoclippers used in the Italian building, and came up with new ones in which keratin melted under the influence of ultrasound waves. So in 2006, ultrasonic hair extensions originated.
Ultrasound hair extensions are capsule technology and are essentially cold. The name of the method itself speaks about the method of attachment of hair extensions with donor. The keratin capsule (fixing bond) is affected by ultrasound pulses emanating from applicators forceps. Having reached the capsule, the energy of ultrasound is converted into heat and reliably closes it, thereby achieving the effect of reliable armor or protection. Thanks to a clear automatic system for controlling the power and time interval of the device, the ultrasonic hair extension passes rapidly with the result of high quality. This cold building technique is used only on natural hair.
After such material, read in one of the articles, I thought Yes, really progress on the face and does not stand still. From childhood I dreamed of having beautiful hair, but not all of this was given by nature. Including me. Stress at work, childbirth: all this in a compartment does not give time to relax and do your own hands with a reliable haircut not for one month, but for a year. Going to the hairdresser, I did not leave vague doubts. After all, many salons to attract customers go to different tricks. For example, our ignorance in this area, and their professional training in this procedure, they say, will make it completely safe. If you think carefully, what is ultrasound? This is a terrible weapon. Ultrasound, still from the lessons of physics, is capable of destroying not only keratin molecules, but everything that is close to it, including the hair roots.
Despite such dangerous things, they will simply be silent about them in the salon and vice versa, they will greatly embellish ultrasonic hair extensions. Simply, this is another, newfangled chip, the cost of which reaches 100 thousand rubles. With such gloomy thoughts and remembering that beauty requires sacrifice, including financial, I sat in the working chair of the hairstyle master. To my question: where did they get their hair for ultrasound extensions, he answered briskly that their hair was brought mainly from India, where girls, according to their ancient customs, cut their hair into the temple as a gift. Then, according to a special technology, they undergo sanitary treatment for two weeks. The main thing, the master explained, do not fall for the dubious offers of masters unknown to you who are ready to make a chic building at home for two or even three orders of magnitude cheaper than in the cabin. Remember: good hair, and also high-quality building are not cheap.
Technique of ultrasonic hair extensions
Before the procedure, the specialist inserts data on the client's hair condition into the device, that is, fixes their thickness, type and, based on this data, the ultrasonic hair extension apparatus produces waves, determines the power and duration of the procedure. All these nuances and make this process completely harmless. Ultrasonic waves emitted by the device act only on the capsule without causing any harm to their own curls.
Let's return to the work of the master:
- To begin with, he divided his head into horizontal partings.
- After the keratin melted, the tongs went into action. With their help, he formed a flat capsule that securely held the hair together.
- Similarly, he walked all over his head. The number of accrued strands was at least 120 pieces.
- When the procedure was over, I was surprised to find that the volume and length increased significantly. The ultrasonic extension took me about 3 hours.
By the way - the length of hair can be increased to one meter. My hair looked completely natural, not a single capsule is visible and now I can make any haircut. For some time after the ultrasonic extension, I still felt capsules on the scalp and for some time they disturbed me, but after a week I got used to them, and then stopped paying attention to them at all. However, the warranty period socks, as I explained in a barbershop, depends largely on the correct care.
Rules care for hair extensions
There are no special restrictions in this procedure, but still we will go through the rules of care for curls at home:
- Wash your hair upright only.
- No need to sleep with wet hair. Before bedtime, it must be thoroughly dried.
- All nourishing masks and balms are desirable to use along the entire length of the hair, but not in the root zone.
- Before bed, be sure to braid your hair in a braid or collect it in a ponytail.
- Comb strands only special comb with wide teeth without balls at their end.

Correction procedure
Further hair correction is required in 2 - 3 months. The procedure will take place in the cabin and consists of several stages. The capsule will be softened with a special liquid, and then removed glued strands. The difficulty lies in the fact that keratin must be soldered to each strand in a new way, and only then the build-up itself will occur. This procedure may take 1.5 - 2 hours more than the first.
