What to consider when choosing a hair thickener?
When choosing a hair thickener, pay attention first to the form of application of a given product. Clip-in thickeners can be easily put on and taken off by yourself. As for the tape variants, they are put on and taken off by a hairdresser. So you can choose which option is more suitable for you. If you want to thicken your hair yourself and for a short time, a clip-in thickener will be the perfect choice for you. You will be able to easily remove it whenever you want. However, if you would like to permanently increase the volume of your hair, a tape-in thickener, applied in a hairdressing salon, will work better.
When choosing the right thickener, also consider the size of the product. Each thickener has a different length, and consequently, a different number of clips or tapes, depending on the size of the insert. For example, the Jacky variant (designed for women's graduated haircuts) has hair 6.5-18 cm long and is equipped with 4 clips (16x16 cm insert), and the Easy Top model measures approx. 30-40 cm and has 6 such clips (15x11 cm insert). So choose the variant that best suits your needs.
Applying hair thickeners
After choosing the right thickener, you should proceed to its application. So how do you put on a clip-in thickener? Before putting on the clip-in thickener, check where the front is and where the back is (you can recognize the back by the sticker with the color). Then apply the front clips to your hair and alternately attach the remaining ones. In this simple way, you will get more hair volume in a few moments without leaving your home!
When it comes to applying a thickener to tapes, the process is different. Before applying it, you should wash your hair thoroughly. What does applying such a thickener look like? After recognizing where the front is and where the back is, the hairdresser applies the front tapes, passing a thin strand of hair through them, and then peels off the tapes and glues them together. In this way, he alternately attaches all the remaining tapes.
