About Mega Hair Ponto Americano

What is it?

The American point mega hair is a technique for stretching the threads developed in the United States, and hence the name.

With the advantages that the technique offers to lengthen and add volume to the locks, mega hair soon spread to other countries, as is the case in Brazil, since it is currently common to see this procedure being performed in several salons around the country.

The technique consists of adding a fabric with more volume and length to the locks through a seam, which resembles a crochet, leaving the result more natural, in addition to facilitating the process of washing and sanitizing the threads.

How is it placed?

If you want to lengthen your locks, we've brought you the complete step-by-step of how the procedure for placing the American point mega hair is done, so you can learn more about the technique.

• The first step for placing the extension is to comb the strands well and separate a strand at the bottom of the hair, trapping the rest of the strands upwards;
• Then, a new layer of hair is released on top of this initial strand, and the new layer is trapped in several strands;
• The extender screen is supported on the layer of trapped strands;
• With the extender screen resting on the strands, the process of attaching the screen to the threads begins, and at this stage the screen is sewn onto the trapped strands, using a technique reminiscent of crochet;
• With the extension screen already attached to the locks, the rest of the hair can be released and the stretching is finished.

 

Who is it for?

The American point mega hair is indicated in two cases – for those who want to increase the volume of the locks, and/or to lengthen the length of the strands.

In the case of increasing the volume and maintaining the same length, it is indicated to use a canvas, which will add volume to the strands.

In the case of extending the length of the locks, the use of more than one screen, usually 2, may be indicated, which guarantees more naturalness to leave the strands long.

In the case of mega hair as an option to lengthen the locks, the technique can be used to lengthen the strands by up to 30 cm.

 

Damage Hair?

Contrary to the traditional and ancient techniques of hair lengthening, which always left natural hair weaker, brittle and even fungal; mega hair dot americano does not damage the hair.

The technique does not use glue or any other chemical element to join the strands, which prevents the natural hair from becoming brittle.

Thus, the sewing procedure leaves the threads looser and easier to wash, maintaining proper hygiene of the scalp and threads, preventing the proliferation of fungi.

In this way, the American point mega hair is an option that can be used without fear, as it does not damage the wires.

 

How much does it cost? #price

Price is one of the important points when deciding which technique will be used to lengthen the strands, and in the case of the mega hair Ponto Americana, all the versatility and naturalness of the lengthening are reflected in the price, which can cost R$3.

The highest price involves the screen that will be used for extension, in addition to the procedure to place the mega hair; and let's agree that the price is salty, but if that's your wish, it's worth the investment!

 

How to Take Care of Mega Hair?

The American point mega hair is one of the best techniques in terms of care, as it is a less aggressive procedure for the hair and involves less care.

Among the few precautions required by the technique are the use of a brush with wider bristles so as not to get caught in the seam of the canvas; be careful when directing heat sources (dryer, flat iron, babyliss) directly on the mega hair seam; and the careful washing of the mega hair, avoiding damaging the points that join the extension to the natural strands.

 

How Long Does It Last? #maintenance

One of the positive points in relation to this type of technique for lengthening the locks is the fact that you can reuse the extension screen as many times as you want, which gives enormous durability to the lengthening.

Although the extender screen can be reused, it is necessary to include mega hair maintenance in the care routine, which must be done monthly or every 45 days.

Maintenance may indicate the need to raise the screen, as the wires grow, and even reinforce the stitch so that the screen does not come loose.

The cost of maintenance is around R$ 100, which is a much more affordable value when compared to the value of the procedure.
