Extension: è vero che rovinano i capelli?

Extensions: do they really damage your hair?

Many women decide to resort to extensions, artificial additions of human hair or synthetic fibres, to make their hair longer, thicker and therefore more attractive.

Before going to the hairdresser, one of the most frequently asked questions is: will my hair get ruined ?

The answer, as in the case of other cosmetic treatments (color, permanent , lightening etc.), is not unique and there are numerous variables which must be taken into consideration.

First you need to consider the texture of your hair.

Applying extensions to hair that is too fine or thin is, in fact, a complicated operation in which you risk making an incorrect application.

For this reason some hairdressers advise their clients not to have extensions done when the hair fiber is too weak and compromised .

Secondly, the type of application must be taken into consideration. In fact, there are two types of extensions:

  • the extensions made by heat , thanks to the application of a special keratin-based glue on the roots;
  • the extensions made cold , thanks to the use of knots or clips.

Hot extensions are the most long-lasting, but they are also those that involve a technique that risks the most damage our hair .

An incorrect application of glue, in fact, could significantly compromise the resistance of the hair fibre, thus damaging the structure itself of the hair.

The last aspect that needs to be evaluated is also the competence of the hair salon who we decide to turn to.

It is essential to go to experienced industry professionals who are able to establish first if our hair is really able to withstand extensions.

What to do in case of hair damaged by extensions?

Sometimes it may happen that one or more of these variables are not taken into consideration with the consequent result of ruined hair .

In these cases, our hair appears weak, with a tendency to break or, in more serious cases, fall out.

When we find ourselves in these situations it is important, first of all, not to underestimate the problem and avoid undergoing new "risky" cosmetic treatments (dyes, permanents, etc.).

In fact, with already damaged hair, we risk seriously compromising the health of our hair.

To counteract the damage that the hair has suffered during the application of extensions and to give the hair shafts new vitality , I present to you a restorative treatment and products for the hygienic phase.

The treatment allows you to deeply nourish undernourished, thinning and weak hair, also improving the quality of the scalp and hair shaft.

The action of the products for the hygienic phase is aimed at protecting the hair and scalp while giving it new elasticity , softness And hydration to the hair shafts.

Not only that: by nourishing and hydrating the hair, this type of product is also able to strengthen, repair and protect it from external aggressions.
