At dawn of the modern cosmetics and hair care Ian Gutgold was the very first inventor who offered to extend hair with the help of the chemical supplies. Of course, the fashion mongers of those times were positively touched with this innovation, however after some tragic chemical burns they decided to stop using this method. Later another innovator proposed to use thermal tongs to straighten hair. Since those time a few things changed dramatically.

Hair extension of the present days is since one of the most harmful procedures, but the good news is that there are a lot of hair care supplies and programs to keep your hair good-looking even after such tough affair.

They use two major hair extension techniques: chemical and thermal. The most aggressive chemical supply is guanidine. Hydroxide is less aggressive agent, but it dries hair out. Thioglycol ammonium is the most expensive way, but very mild. Ceramic pair of tongs is considered to be more sparing than metal tongs.

The European and American hair-dressers tend to advertise healthy hair extension which is until now presented by only one technique: Brazilian Keratin Treatment (BKT). Into the BKT complex they include keratin shampoo, keratin cream and serum. In the reality, this technique is just a variant of the thermal hair extension. However, they assure that this set for hair care makes hair less damaged.

Since health and nutrition make the unity, do not forget to pay attention to your diet before and after hair extension. You're advised to eat more carrot, parsley, dill, rosehip, onions, red pepper, salad, apricots, buckhorns, tomatoes, peas, potato, beat, apples. Meat and oils are less recommended products since they are not rich for healing elements.
