Hair infusion
Hair infusion is a procedure created to add length, volume and color to the hair. Synthetic or real human hair is used in the hair infusion process. The different between both radiates basically that synthetic hair is much less costly, but the benefits of real human hair justifies for far the additional disbursement. By using real human hair, the hair infusion color can be changed, and the natural appearance cannot be compared to synthetic hair.
It is also considered a less aggressive hair extensions technique, because hair infusion avoids the pulling out or breaking down of the person’s own hair as it may happen with other traditional methods. Furthermore, hair infusion does not use any metal to be attached, and does not use heat avoiding the burning of hair.
Hair infusion is reusable and it is barely noticeable to the touch. It is also safe for people who may have allergic reactions to chemicals,since hair infusion can add highlighting effects to the person's hair without using artificial substances.
