Capsules in hair extensions are not just a technical detail. Their shape and placement directly affect the condition of your natural hair.
In Marbella, we often see poorly done work: capsules placed too close to the scalp or formed incorrectly. In a hot, humid climate with frequent exposure to sea water, these mistakes lead to discomfort and faster hair damage.
1. Capsule shape
A correct capsule should be small, round and fully sealed.
No sharp edges, no flat or irregular shapes.
This type of capsule:
- does not scratch the scalp
- does not tangle with other strands
- keeps its shape over time
- feels comfortable in daily wear
Flat, open or deformed capsules indicate poor technique.
2. Distance from the scalp (tension)
Capsules should be placed about 1 cm away from the scalp.
If they are too close or “twisted” into the roots:
- they create constant tension
- restrict natural hair movement
- may lead to hair thinning over time
3. Correct visual result
A proper installation looks like:
- clean, separated strands
- no clumping or stiff sections
- light, natural movement
If you see stiffness, tangling or twisted capsules — the work is incorrect.
Conclusion
A proper capsule is small, round, sealed, and correctly distanced from the scalp.
In Marbella, this is especially important due to climate and lifestyle.
