Facts About Burmese Hair Extensions

By Frank Thompson


Remy and synthetic hair extensions are available in several different styles. Among the common styles are wigs and hair pieces, clip-in extensions, microlink, tape-in, fusion, pre-bonded, and weaves. Tape extensions as implied by their name are styled on the head by gluing or taping them on sides of the head. They are mostly sold when pre-taped already. They are arranged on the bases of the hairs while the glue used is melted using specialized tool. This is what Burmese Hair Extensions are all about.

When the glue wears out or becomes loose, the hairs can be removed and reinstalled. It takes about one hour to install tape-in, and the extensions can always be re-used if they are not damaged after the initial use. One has to be careful with the application of hair products because the glue can be loosened by them. It is very common for tape-in to slide off due to weakened glue.

Tape-ins must be treated using conditioners and shampoos. The conditioners and shampoos used should not be too oily and the ingredients they contain should not be harsh on the extensions. Styling is possible in whatever style one wants. However, the glue used should be watched not to tamper with it. Tape-ins are temporary and take only 4 to 8 weeks. When they start coming off, they should be removed and reapplied. The major factor that affects durability is maintenance.

The application of weaves involves weaving the hair on the head into a corn row first. The extensions are then attached to this corn row by use of needle and thread. Given the manner in which weaves are applied, they are more suitable for people with more natural hairs. The process is long and results in the head feeling heavy and uncomfortable. This makes weaves not to work well with lighter and thinner hairs.

It is the permanency of the results attained with weaves that make them popular. The extensions are sewn onto the head which makes it hard for them to fall off. However, this technique of application is the hardest to perform and most painful. It takes both experience and skill to get the weaving right. Part of maintenance of weaves requires mandatory moisturization of the nape, edges, and scalp once in a week. Also, deep condition products have to be applied.

A lot of damage is caused by weaves besides weakening hairs. Washing the had on a regular basis can help to minimize this problem. Washing should be done using special protein products. There are various ways of styling sewn-in extension. They also last longer, up to four months if one prefers. However, the advisable longevity is between 6 and 8 months.

The installation of fusion hair extension is done by bonding them to the human hairs. There are different adhesives that are currently used to do the bonding. This job takes a hairdresser up to four hours to complete. These products are not suitable for individuals whose hairs are damaged because they cause more damage to the damage that already exists.

The application is done using a machine that resembles a hot glue gun. The machine basically glues individual strands of the extension to the hairs. However, it should be known that scalp irritation can be caused by the chemicals in the glue used.
