Integration is a type of hair extension that involves wearing a cap of hair extensions. It is like a nylon web that goes over the scalp, and the natural hair is pulled through it and blended with the synthetic hair. This type of hair extension is usually done at a hair salon and is not as common as other types. Hair integration is usually done for women who have thinning hair or who are going through some sort of cancer treatment and are losing their hair. This is not always the case, however.
