Hair Weaving and Hair Grafting

cheesy on Dec-17-2009

What is hair weaving?

It’s the science of weaving or braiding human or synthetic hair to the roots of existing, healthy hair so that it grows along with natural hair, thus giving the impression of a thick growth. It’s also called hair integration or hair intensification. It’s a procedure appropriate for people with thinning hair. It’s not something that requires a hospital visit; it’s usually done in salons as a temporary procedure.

How does it work?

Two or three shafts of hair natural or synthetic are woven into the root area. Some of the natural hair is woven or braided together to act as an anchor, to which the add-on tufts are sewn, woven, knitted or glued. The extensions have to be repositioned every five or six weeks as the natural hair grows out.

Sounds Complex.

It is. Apart from the sheer tedium of repeated ‘surgeries’, the procedure stresses the existing hair as well. Also, keeping the scalp and hair clean is a problem, as vigorous washing could loosen the new hair. The American Hair Loss Council advises the procedure only for people with plenty of healthy hair, and that too, for periods not longer than a few weeks. A patch test is essential to ensure the person undergoing the procedure is not allergic to any of the adhesives or implants used.

Implants for the hair

A non-surgical implant is the dressed-up term now used for a simple procedure that has been upgraded over the years. Actually, a non surgical implant describes the attachment of a hair system to existing hair with surgical glue, and subsequent trimming to ensure the add-ons blend with natural hair.

What about more long-term solutions?

Hair Graft. This is the most popular surgical method, but it can be done only on people who are partially bald. The results are permanent and can be achieved in four or five sittings. The procedure involves removing hair follicles from the back of the head (where the growth is the most persistent) and implanting them on the pate. This hair grows naturally, requiring no follow-up action. It’ll never resemble a thick mane, but it’s presentable.

Tissue Expansion

It involves implanting silicon balloons with hair bearing skin on either side of the head. The implants are inside the skin over the ears so that the hair bearing part of the head expands. The expansions are then re-grafted in front of the head, so the hair appears to grow naturally from there.

This calls for two surgical procedures, one at the time of implantation and the other for re-grafting.

Any drawbacks to the surgical procedures?

There may be swelling, bruising or mild pain inhibiting normal activity for a couple of days after the procedure. There may also be numbness on the back of the neck, from where a strip of skin is removed. Also, it’s important to remember that individual hair types and characteristics- such as wavy or curly hair- affect the results.

Which Hair Extension Style Do You Want?

cheesy on Jul-16-2009

Within each hair extension category there are many different types of hair extension pieces that you can choose from. Also with this variety come different techniques that you can use. Some techniques allow you to attach it to your own hair and other techniques allow you to glue or bond to either the hair extension or to your actual hair.

Glue/Bond Based Attachment:

1. Invisible hair extensions.
You can use this type hair extension style if you have fine baby hair already. This type extension resembles skin and you must allow a period of time for the extension to hold firm to your scalp. This time period usually lasts between 5-8 weeks.
2. Mega hair extension.
This type extension is completely opposite of the invisible hair extension because it requires
that you have a thicker base of hair in order for the extension to meld into.
3. Raccoon hair extensions.
This technique seems to be the middle of the road selection because it uses a bonding material specifically for hair extensions and has proven to be credible for strength, durability and ease of removal.

Non Glue/Bond Based Attachment:
1. Micro cylinder hair extensions.
This is a most economical way of having hair extensions applied to your hair. This is a simple and hassle free procedure and does not involve glues, heat or chemicals as the glue/based technique requires. This style has a lot of variety selection with sizes, colors and quality of hair as well.
2. Invisible strands technique.
This technique takes a while to complete due to the labor intensive effort involved but the rewards allow you to treat the hair like your normal hair and can last up to a year if taken of properly. The extension of hair is laced into your real hair using dental floss, then the floss is removed leaving the invisible strand. A sealant is then used on this strand to insure that the extension piece is sealed properly and looks natural. The whole process of this technique can last from 4-8 days with a specialist working on your hair but as stated before
you will not have to worry about this extension much and you can treat it like your own real hair.

Emo Hair Styles

cheesy on Jul-3-2009

Emo hairstyles are usually spiky and shaggy a definition of how you felt at that time. It’s an all over the place crazy style so use gel and hair glue to your advantage. Emo hair is as complicated as the term Emo itself. Emo hair is meant to be emotive like the Emo kid wearing it. The hair is expressive and asymmetrical.

Highlights are often used to show conflicting emotions within the emotional hairstyle. Emo kids have hair with bangs that are either hanging in their faces and covering their eyes or brushed to one side.
It usually requires a great deal of hair products to hold it into place, and this is kind of metaphorical for the subculture. Emo hairstyles have jagged edges that go in many directions. It does not have to be long hair to be Emo. It can be black, dark brown, or any other deep rich shade. It can be blonde, but blonde that is very jagged and out of control like the emotions raging inside most Emo kids.

Coloring Your Hair

cheesy on Jun-24-2009

Coloring hair is very fashionable these days. You can easily see people of all age groups going for hair coloring. People are experimenting with all kinds of colors to look fashionable. It is no longer just natural black or golden people are going for, but they are experimenting with even red, green and blue and coming up with new hair coloring ideas.

Hair coloring has been in use since the ancient times. Ancient Greeks used to color or lighten their hair, which identified with honor and courage. They used harsh soaps to lighten or color their hair. There is evidence that ancient Romans also used to color or lighten their hair.

Now-a-days, coloring hair is very much popular throughout the world. According to some reports around 75% of women in the U.S. color their hair. Now people do not go for hair coloring just to hide their grey hair but to make a fashion statement as well. Young people experiment with many hair coloring ideas. The market for hair colors is huge spreading all over the world.

There are many products for coloring hair available in the market. There are permanent as well as temporary colors. A patch test should be conducted before using any coloring product to see if the person is allergic to the color or not. In the case the person is found allergic to chemicals used in hair colors the use of the same should be stopped immediately.

Some people lighten their hair, which is also known as bleaching or decoloring. This process involves the diffusion of the natural color pigment or arificial color from the hair.

Permanent hair coloring products contain oxidising agent and an alkalizing ingredient. These chemicals raise the cuticle of the hair fibre so the color can penetrate in the hair fiber. They also facilitate the formation of tints within the hair fibre and bring about the lightening action of peroxide.

In the case of temporary colors the the pigment molecules are large so they do not penetrate the cuticle layer. It allows only a coating action that may be removed by shampooing. Temporary hair coloring products come in various forms like shampoos and gels.

Normally temporary colors are used to give brighter colors to the hair. It is because temporary hair colourants do not penetrate the hair shaft itself. Instead, these dyes remain adsorbed to the follicle and can be easily removed with a single shampooing.

The use of color can cause damage to hair in some cases. It is always better to visit an expert to for coloring hair to avoid any kind of harm done to hair. Coloring hair in some cases can cause breakage of hair strands, hair fall and dry scalp.
