The longest-lasting type of hair extensions are the crimped micro-linking methods, and these micro-links will last an incredible six months with proper maintenance. 

Maintenance at three months of wear will help your hair extensions to look their best throughout this six-month wear.

Not all micro links are the same and may not last as long. Different types of micro-links might have different ways of installation or maintenance routines.

Some popular versions include micro rings, micro links, microbeads, nanobeads, extend tubes, and +.

Micro-linking hair extensions.

The crimped micro-linking is the longest-lasting type of hair extension.  Not just any micro link!  The crimped micro-link is installed uniquely with special equipment that crimps the bead in half and tucks it over for a durable, secure installation.

The hair extension strands are secured to strands of the natural hair using a small copper link, sometimes aluminum but not the best.

The micro links come in four sizes and seven colours.  With a clean installation, precise sectioning, and even hair density, the crimped bead micro-linking methods will last the longest without damage to your natural hair. 

There are many variables in sustaining a hair longest-lasting type of hair extension in your head, and keep in mind not all micro links are the same.

The beveled micro link.

 

These are the crimped micro-linking systems and are the longest-lasting type of hair extension system. The copper ring has a bevelled edge on top of the micro link that allows for crimping the ring giving a secure, durable bond. With installations, hair is free-flowing and can be blow-dried, curled, or set in any way you wish without destroying the bond and losing your extensions.

The crimped micro-link hair extensions will stay in until removed professionally. However, we recommend six months only when proper maintenance procedures are maintained. When wearing hair extensions, you should support them with care. 

Many people will skip the maintenance step. If you miss your maintenance schedule, remove the hair extensions between 4-5 months of wear as the weight of the dreading and knots can cause damage.

Maintenance is when you come into the salon for your hair extension artist to go over each strand, removing the old hair bulbs that have fallen from the scalp and are attached to the hairs you usually lose that are still in the bonding system.

Many companies offer this form of micro-linking because it is durable and easy to manage. It also makes the clients happy, being the longest-lasting type of hair extension technique.

There is no need to tighten the crimped micro links, as they will stay in place until removal.

 

Micro rings for hair extensions.

Micro rings are tiny beads pressed flat when installed. These rings are flexible soft metals with a coating of colour that secures the hair strand.

Some stylists tighten these micro rings after they loosen up within 4 to 6 weeks, but I do not use these systems and do not recommend them as they can slip easily and shed.

Depending on care and maintenance, these extensions can last 10-12 weeks.

The micro ring (with an inside screw.)

 

These rings feature a grooved inside, like a screw usually installed with a hair extension tool that has a hook and is pressed flat.

 

The micro ring (silicone lined inside.)

 

With silicone lining, easy to offer a superior hold, prevents slipping and damage to your hair. These are flat pressed links and pressed flat over a nail head or i-tip, stick-tipped strand of human Remy hair.

The material inside the link is silicone in the application for i-tip, stick-tipped,  nail-head hair extensions. These tools will last a considerable time in your hair with proper care.

Natural hair’s life cycle. 

The Anagen Phase.

 

Most of your hair will be in the anagen phase of growth, and this state is the fast-growing phase lasting between 2-7 years before the follicles become dormant. Hair habits will also determine the length of an anagen phase and may affect the longest-lasting type of hair extension.

Generally, 80-90% of hair is consistently in the anagen phase. Your genetics, age, overall health, and a variety of things that may happen to you can disturb the anagen phase in your hair’s life cycle. 

The rate of hair growth can subsequently affect your hair extensions. We advise you to consider your specific situation when evaluating the length of time you keep your hair extensions in your head before removing the strands.

The catagen phase.

 

Catagen is when the hair transitions growth to a slow-growing phase. The hair follicles shrink, and hair growth slows, ending the anagen phase.   

Therefore, hair follicles retreat to the catagen stage, a short in-between phase before growth ceases.

In contrast to the anagen phase, the catagen phase will only last 2-3 weeks, and about 3-5% of all hairs are in this phase at any time.

Growth stops, and the hairs are at their longest as they have finished the growing phase and are preparing to shed.

 

The telogen phase.

 

Within the telogen stage, some of your hair extension strands may not be the longest-lasting type of hair extension. Telogen is a resting phase, a very active phase for the bulb while preparing a new hair shaft. The telogen phase will last about three months, with up to 10% of your hairs in telogen simultaneously.  

 

Telogen will be the phase where the hair bulb is waiting to fall out. Losing up to 100 hairs a day is normal, and new hair comes through the follicle and pushes the hair bulb out, causing shedding.

 

Telogen effluvium.

 

Is when stress causes hair roots to be pushed prematurely into the resting state. The effect can be acute or chronic, and some stressful trigger forces more hair than average into the telogen phase in this condition. People with telogen effluvium can lose up to 300 hairs a day.

 

During challenging times:

 

Chronic Illness, childbearing, ailments, displacement, grief, surgical trauma, high fever, chronic systemic Illness, and bleeding can all contribute to hair loss.

Also, conditions like androgenic alopecia shorten and suppress the anagen phase resulting in receding hairlines, hair thinning, part lines, and balding areas.

Thankfully, once you recover from the Illness, hair loss typically rectifies, and hair eventually returns to its original thickness.

Exogen.

 

The last phase of the hair’s life cycle will only last a day or two and marks the end of the hair growth cycle.

 

The natural hair density.

The density of hair matters for the longest lasting type of hair extension.

Hair Extensions need natural hair to have even density to be a long-lasting type of hair extension. Each panel throughout the head should have even sectioning, and even panel sectioning should be clean and without loose hairs. 

 

If you have poor density, your hair extensions should never stay for six months. If you have any problems with hair breakage or density loss, you should have maintenance at two months and removal at four months.

 

The density at the base of each strand section should have even hair follicles symmetric in each strand. The scalp of each strand section should not have balding spots or areas with sparse follicle density.

 

Stay away from hair colour near the bonds if you have breakage, loss of density, or fine thin hair.

 

The quality of hair.

Hair quality will be a significant factor in the longest-lasting type of hair extension.

With the strand-by-strand methods, you need healthy Remy hair to prevent tangling and matting. The following information will help explain the difference in hair types.

 

Remy human hair.

The longest-lasting type of hair extensions will use this hair. It is hair consisting of natural human hair with the cuticles still intact and running in the same direction. When the description says ‘Remy,’ you know it is not synthetic hair. Remy hair is collected with the still intact cuticle because it works the best, moves freely and looks natural in the strand-by-strand hair extension systems.

Single drawn human hair.

 

With single-drawn hair, it will tangle and matt faster and is harder to brush out. The longer hairs are drawn out (removed) from the hanks or bundles of hair, which can leave broken, damaged hairs remaining in single drawn bundles.  

 

With single-drawn hair, multiple lengths are mixed into the bundles resulting in thicker hair at the top and then taper from the middle with the thinnest lengths at the ends. 

Single-drawn hair is less expensive and can look fine at first but will not last long.

Double-drawn human hair.

The longest-lasting type of hair extension will be with high-quality Remy double-drawn human hair. Double-drawn hair contains the most extended lengths, up to 70% or above of the bundles’ hair lengths being long. You will get long wear out of these hairs after removing them. 

You can usually re-install year-old double-drawn hair extensions. They can be pre-tipped and re-coloured, but it’s labor intensive.

When we produce our beautiful long hair extension strands, we don’t buy the hair like it comes out after a six-month removal. We purchase bulk hair, sorted, treated, and processed for professional sales. It is treated and healthy, and redo treatments add labor and product costs.

Double-drawn hair is best for hair extension tips, including I-tips, Nail-tips and V-tips for fusion bonds and wefts. Double drawn creates a fuller and thicker look on the hair’s depth and fullness.

Maintenance for hair extensions.

The crimped micro-linking hair extension methods require proper maintenance. After three months, you have to come in and get hair maintenance, and in this process, we untangle the base of your hair, stopping any dreading or matting that can happen.

 

Hairs we lose from our scalp have a little hook coming from the follicle at the base of the hair shaft, and this little hooked bulb can hook onto fallen hairs and create matting and dreads. We remove these hooks to stop the dreading.

 

Separating the strands during the wear of the hair extensions is necessary to have successful strand-by-strand hair extensions, and do this daily or when needed by pulling two strands apart, which helps keep dreading at bay.

 

People can sometimes ignore the maintenance procedure. If this is the case remove the strand-by-strand hair extensions between four-five months, not six.

Clients often do their hair removal, have a friend do it, or skip maintenance. Skipping these crucial steps has repercussions after months of hair extension wear when the base follicles lose their density. These steps are an essential part of how long your hair extensions last.

Conclusion.

 

Because of micro links’ durability can be rough on your hair, especially on more delicate hair. Just because the system lasts six months, there are particular instances when the client’s hair won’t take six months of the copper rings pressed tight around your hair strands. Or maybe you’re going through an extensive period in life, or you’re going through a lot of stress where you lose extra hair.

 

Thank you for reading, and please DM me with any questions or comments. I’ll be happy to hear from you.  

The Consultation 

How much do hair extensions cost is a good question! I know it’s a long spiel, and the consultation takes time. Reading all the information seems unnecessary, and you want to know how much hair extensions cost right now.

There are a lot of variables in hair extension pricing with different systems and different methods of installing them. The length of the hair extensions, the colour and the amount of hair used are important determinizing factors in hair extension pricing. 

The amount of money you want to spend can determine what hair extensions are best for you. The cost of hair extensions varies with length, color, amount of hair and the system used to install them.

You’re the one who sets the price for hair extensions. And to answer your question and get everything out of the way, let’s say $1200 up or down.

The Budget

Hair extension costs will range differently with the different hair extension systems. Sometimes, the budget determines what hair extension system to use. The prices for hair extensions can go all across the board with the hair quality, the length, the colour and the methods. Reasonably speaking, anywhere from $300-$3000 or more!!!!!

The strand by stand methods

The strand by strand hair extensions cost more and take longer to install. Stand-by-strand installations feel more natural to wear, just like your natural hair, and you can wear them with comfort and durability.  

 

Micro Linking Pricing

I have made the hair extensions cost for my strand by strand systems fundamental and easy to understand.   The crimped micro linking hair extensions will start at $300 an ounce for 16″ Remy Indian double-drawn human hair, nail head strands, and standard size crimped micro linking method. 

Every time you want to add extra length, blonde or lighter colour, multiple colors, highlighting, baby lights, Ombre’ or any additional hair service, add $30 per ounce or every 2″. 

The micro linking system is the least costly of the two-strand by strand systems I offer. 

Installation of the strand by strand hair extension systems requires top-quality high-end hair to get the most comfortable, pleasant wearing experience and look natural.

Keratin cold fusion pricing

 

Keratin Cold fusion strand by strand methods of hair extensions cost more, and they come in bundles of 25 strands. The cost would have to be done by individual calculation as it would depend on the hair used, the colour of hair extensions, the length of hair, and the number of strands installed.

Using this high-end system, you will want the most beautiful top-quality Remy human hair for the best results and natural-looking hair extensions.

Installing hair extensions strand by strand is a long process and not worth the time if you’re not going to use the best!

We recommend a personal consultation with your hair extension artist to determine your needs for all these variables. 

 

The Wefted Methods

 

The wefted methods may not always have high-end quality hair, and Wefts come in many qualities of hair which will reflect in the hair extensions cost. 

 

With the Sew-in form, with the natural hair braided tight to the scalp, the commercial hair does not have to blend in-between the natural hair. 

 

Custom-made tape-ins or Clip-ins with the absolute best hair would cost nearly the same as the other high-quality hair extensions. 

 

Clip-in pricing

 

Let us start with the Clip-ins hair extensions cost. Clip-ins are the most economical and fastest hair extension system to wear and install. 

The price will depend on the quality of hair and will range from:

 

Human Hair Clip-in Extensions Cost	$150+	$0
Remy Hair Clip-in Extensions Cost	$200+	$0
Synthetic Invisible Wire Extensions Cost	$75+	$0
Human Hair Invisible Wire Extensions Cost	$150

 

Clip-ins are toupee clips sewn on the back of weft panels of hair. These clips come in different colour and sizes to accommodate different hair textures.

Hair extension costs for clip-in can vary, and it depends on the quality of the hair. Custom-made clip-in hair extensions can be made with high-quality hair and are nicer to wear. Commercial clip-in hair extensions are purchased at a retail hair outlet store.

 

Tape-In hair extensions pricing 

 

Concerning hair extension cost, the tape-in would be less expensive. The average price of tape in hair extensions ranges between $200-$400 (an average of $300). Plus installation at the hairdresser, which is about $200. They’ll need to be adjusted every four to six weeks, depending on how your hair grows.

Tape-ins are hair extensions where glued panels of hair are placed close to the root area throughout the head. This type of hair extension is fast to install, depending on the amount of hair to install. This method will need re-installation after about six weeks of wear. Reinstalling requires re-taping or re-gluing the base of each panel.

 

Tape-Ins can be custom handcrafted. For customized tape-in hair extension costs, we must have a consultation.

Sew-in hair extensions prices

 

I do not offer the Sew-in or beaded weft hair extension methods. 

Prices would depend on several factors, including location and stylist., Typically, the installation service ranges from $100 to $600. And that’s not including the cost of the hair, which can fall anywhere between $100 to $600.

The Sew-in hair extensions will give the client the most amount of hair possible for a hair extension system. The hair quality can be all across-the-board, making the hair extension cost vary. 

Method of installation and add on:

Let’s talk about the different variations affecting hair extensions cost. The quality of hair is an essential factor and usually represents 50% of the total cost of hair extensions. 

And the colour will affect the price as the blonde levels of hair will ultimately cost more. Highlights, lowlights, baby lights, and multiple colours usually have additional fees.  

 

 Quality of Hair 

The hair quality will determine the hair extension cost, and recommended is always Remy hair. Remy hair means all the cuticles will run in the same direction.

We do not recommend non-Remy hair for hair extension methods listed in this blog.

Single drawn human hair

Single-drawn Remy human hair extensions cost less and are suitable for temporary installation. 

If it’s an updo, wedding style, or theatrical piece, the single drawn does excellent as it keeps its place well.

Single drawn will have a shorter length of hair throughout the bundle. It can matt easy and is hard to brush through. 

Double drawn human hair

Double-drawn Remy human hair extensions cost more. Double-drawn means all the shorter hairs are removed from the bundle leaving the longer lengths. This process makes the hair softer, shinier and luxurious to wear. Double drawn is the best quality of hair for the price to use in the strand by strand hair extension methods or sometimes in a wefted installation system. With hair extensions, the higher quality double-drawn hair will be easier to brush and maintain your daily routine.  

Triple drawn human hair

Triple-drawn Remy human hair extensions cost the most. The procedure is known as drawing the hair out where only the long lengths remain in the bundle, ensuring softness and sleekness.

Triple-drawn is a custom order requiring only the longest lengths in this process. The result will be effortless to brush and maintain. 

Importing has a hefty fee, and labor is lengthy with the delicate job of separating the hairs to obtain the most extended lengths. 

Amount of hair

The amount of hair you need will  affect the hair extension cost. The installation could be a full head, half head, light install, med or heavy install. Or maybe only in the front or sides. Any combination reflects the price, as does the amount of hair needed.

I can only comment on the strand by strand systems which I use.

The price goes by weight, and the 16″ has approximately 50 strands, 20″ about 40 strands, etc.

These examples are pictures depicting how installed hair in various amounts looks.

These pics show our model with different amounts of hair installed: a 1-ounce installation, 2-ounce installation, and a 3-ounce installation.

Colour of hair extensions

The new hair is supposed to give your hair colour without the need for using the colour bottle on your natural hair. 

Hair extensions are excellent at hiding colour and enhancing natural hair colour. Think about it, ‘How good does your hair colour look two weeks after your hair dye, anyway?’ Do you find that your hair goes gold quickly after hair colouring? Your virgin hair will not fade (only after sunbathing); virgin hair is healthier, softer, and doesn’t tangle like coloured, processed hair.

 

Highlights and lowlights

Blending and mixing colors can be an additional hair extension cost. Highlighting, low lighting, custom colouring, or ombres adds to the hair extension cost. It’s colouring your hair by adding new healthy, bright coloured hair extensions.

Conclusion

The final price will be regarding the density of the client’s hair. *client is responsible for charges on all hair used. 

Don’t forget when requesting hair be the longest possible lengths; multiple colors, highlights, low lights, or a full head of the lightest blonde that every added component will bring up the price of your hair extensions. 

The quote is $300 an ounce for the natural base colour level 3, 16 inches authentic Remy Indian double drawn human hair installed everything included; with 50 standard size strands installed. If the client wants a lighter colour, there is an additional charge of $30 an ounce, and longer lengths will be an extra $30 every 2 inches.

The quote!

The number of strands included in a $300 quote is 50 strands with the 16″ Remy Indian double-drawn human hair.

 *the number of strands will increase or decrease with the length and thickness of the hair extension strands. The finer the strands, they may require additional strands to cover the head, and the added strands will cost more.

Haircuts are an added charge. These are all added services, and it is just like getting a hair colour or highlighting in a hair salon. The same services with hair extensions, and yes, there’s added charge for this service.

Hair extensions cost add up for every additional service you require!

I recommend you see a professional colorist to colour hair extensions. But to answer the question;

Yes, you can colour hair extensions, but not all the hair in the hair extensions will dye to the same degree.

Expertise and care in dying hair extensions are needed.  

 

The problem with colouring hair extensions is that you don’t know the colour history behind the hair you’re using. While depositing colour works well on commercial hair, lifting with colouring or bleaching is not recommended. I used to bleach the commercial hair, but a good result was rare.

 

The colour history behind the natural hair taken from donors is unknown. Companies generally re-colour the commercial hair in a natural and dark brown level three for distribution. So if you try to lift this hair, it would lift unevenly. Sometimes the colour put in the hair will cover up stains that will not lift out at all.

Tones and shades to colour hair extensions!

Tones and hair shades are easy to achieve in colour hair extensions from standard human hair. 

Darker shades quickly activate with a simple 5-10% peroxide. They are altering the tone in the same Method of colouring natural hair.  

Warmer shades are straightforward, whereas the ash shades need lightening for darker shades to drab out.  

Colour hair extensions must be a gold base to achieve a colour correctly. 

After a specific time, the hair extensions have faded naturally to a goldy colour allowing for good ash-coloured coverage. 

Red coloured hair extensions can not change the colour; they can only be coloured darker with red undertones. 

How to colour hair extensions?

The best way to colour hair extensions Is to put your hair in a ponytail. Long hair can be hard to control, and the ponytail method for dying the hair is fast and easy.  

After wearing the hair extensions for a time, they may fade or need brightening up! Fading is normal and probably caused by dyes, products, sun, and other sources. 

 

When applying, use one colour unless you have professional help. Two-colour dying is not possible with the ponytail method of DIY hair colouring.

 

Start by placing your hair in a tight ponytail. Use a covered elastic to help protect the hairs from breakage. I like my ponytail high, but this is a personal preference.  

 

Place hair in a ponytail is a more straightforward application, and you want to stay away from the bond area with the dye, so the ponytail helps hide the bonds from the dye.

 

Only use 5-10% volume peroxide for standard hair extensions, 5% for darker or grey coverage, and 10% for a more resistant range. 

 

Don’t rush the timer on your hair extension color. Commercial hair takes longer to absorb the dye.

 

Are you rinsing the dye from colour hair extensions?

Take extra time when rinsing colour from hair extensions. You must not leave any residue from the dye in the hair, and rinsing the dye out will take a monotonously long time. Hang in there and do a good job!  

 

Rinse the colour hair extensions with the water facing downwards from the head. Never rinse the hair extensions by leaning your head forward. Leaning forward can cause matting and knots, which can be very hard to remove. Lean the head back and use the shower’s force from the spray like a hairbrush aiming downwards through the lengths of the hair. 

 

Try to maintain the hair strands with as little matting and knotting as possible while significantly rinsing the colour out.  

Shampoo colour hair extensions.

Rinsing colour hair extensions should be thoroughly completed before applying the shampoo. Use the shampoo for blonde-coloured or damaged hair with a pH7. Apply the shampoo to your pony and continue shampooing as required.

Do not scrunch the hair; instead, gently work the shampoo through the hair in a downwards motion. Do not stretch the hair. Squeezing the hair is good, and I like to work the shampoo in with the palm of my hands in a downwards motion.

Remove the ponytail elastic. 

Depending on how high you have come with the hair dye, you might need to open up the elastic to further remove the colour. But don’t do this until you have done a lengthy rinsing procedure or are in the shampoo stage.  

 

To remove the elastic, always cut the elastic out so that you are not breaking any hairs. Yes, cut the elastic out significantly during the tinting procedure. Pulling the elastic out can latch onto knots and pull hairs out, and it is so much easier and safer to cut the elastic out.

Rinse the shampoo out of the colour hair extensions.

Follow the same rinsing procedure to remove the shampoo out of the coloured hair extensions. It’s essential to remove all the shampoo. If the hair needs an extra shampoo, repeat the process as above and follow with a lengthy rinse before conditioning.

https://bizzarrehair.ca/blog/how-to-wash-your-hair-extensions/

Condition colour hair extensions.

Apply the conditioner to the colour hair extensions in the same manner, or a king downwards direction. 

Yes, your hair is still in a ponytail. Apply the conditioner below the bonded area through the hair lengths. Stay away from the attachment bonds with conditioners. Moisturizing on the bonds or attachments can cause the hair extensions to slip out or shed. 

 

Continue rinsing the conditioner out in the same manner, using the force of the shower as a force to brush facing downward and use your fingers as a brush trying to separate any progressing knots.  

 

Be gentle with your hair extensions during the shampoo and conditioning process. You don’t want to pull or stretch hair, damaging it when stretched too far—no more than 17% of its length.

 

After your rinse is complete, gently squeeze the hair in a towel. Do not towel dry hair in a vigorous motion; instead, use a patting technic with the towel between your hands and clap together with the hair lengths in the center. Patting the wet hair will protect the hair from further knotting and help prevent static electricity in the hair.  

 

Dry your hair thoroughly before brushing. See hair care and styling hints and tips.

Link to styling tips

Custom coloured hair extensions.

If the colour is customized, it may not be possible to colour hair extensions in the same way.  

You would not want to colour over top of a custom-blended, highlighted, or low light in your hair extensions, and it could be hard to copy the custom colour initially put into the hair extensions.

Blonde colour hair extensions.

Lightening or bleaching colour hair extensions will take significant effort and time to achieve.  

When bleaching commercial hair, the lengths bleach out patchy and uneven throughout the lengths. The results are different levels of lift in various areas in the lengths of the strands. 

 

Most colour companies will bleach large amounts of hair at a time, allowing them to sort the hair in the appropriate bundles. Or mix bundles, so they appear lighter. There are many highly technical sorting variations.  

 

However, if you wanted to change the shade of your blondes, this may be possible at a 10/1 radial with an appropriate base colour in place.  

Stay away from the bonded area when dying your hair extensions and rinse the colour out entirely, spending extra time on the rinse.

Conclusion for colour hair extensions.

To conclude my advice on ‘How to colour hair extensions?’ here are a few last-minute tips. 

Drying and care tips.

Completely dry your hair extensions before you brush them. It would be best to start blow-drying the mid-lengths, then the ends and the natural scalp hair keeping direct heat away from the hair extension bonds.

 

Once the hair is dry, start brushing from the ends working up the lengths of the hair.  If you ‘run’ into knots, a hot iron will help.  The temperature will depend on your hair colour and hair texture.  For the heat, see the manufactures instructions for the correct level to use.

Run the hot iron over the knotted area and then brush starting from the ends working up; this will help remove that knot or matt.

Products to colour hair extension.

Use a product for blonde or damaged hair, a neutral shampoo ph7 to colour hair extension. Commercial hair does not have an acid mantle coating the hair shaft, as natural hair has; an acid-based product or a ‘negative ionic charged’ product will cause dryness and fizziness to commercial hair.

Use lots of moisturizing conditioners and hair oils for the lengths.

After the hair dye:

Yes! Get color touch-ups with hair extensions in coloured hair. COLOUR fading or looking dull can happen from many things like the water, the sun, swimming, and different activities. You may consider color touch-ups in between installations.

This simple rinsing process after the touch up of a deposit color:

1. Rinse the color from the hair extensions using cool water at low pressure.
2. Rinse thoroughly using your fingers to work the excess dye out gently.
3. Always maintain the water flow in the direction of the natural hair growth, with the head leaning back never forward.  

Rinsing is necessary to remove all the dye and should take a minimum of 15–20 minutes. Rinse the hair thoroughly. 

To shampoo, your hair extensions, use a positive ionic charged shampoo for blonde or damaged hair. Please stay away from moisturizing shampoos as they may harm the bonds. 

I’ll leave you some pics of the products I use. Nope! You’re not going to be spending a lot of money. 

I have other blogs that talk about this concept! For now, these products work best on commercial hair.

Not all micro link hair extensions last the best!

The length of time the micro links hair extensions last depends on what hair extension system your want installed! There are many variables like the quality of hair, the density of your natural hair, your hair texture, type or brand of hair extensions used, the quality of installation, the aftercare involved, and the products you use.  

 

Most micro linking systems are a safe way to get an undetectable look in hair extensions without any adhesives or glues, and you can also add highlights and lowlights very quickly. Micro link hair extensions are a popular technique that is healthy for your hair and durable to wear. They are the most miniature, most undetectable non-glue hair extensions technique. 

 

Micro links are a strand by strand hair extension system which combines the natural hair with the extension strand using tiny metal tubes. These methods of hair extensions are discreet and the safest by far. Micro linking is a free-flowing hair extension method of adding length or volume to your natural hair. They are the easiest way of adding thickness and length to short, thin, and fine hair without causing damage and hindering hair growth, providing versatility with easy top knots and high ponytails.

 

Micro link hair extensions last anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months. Many lifestyles prefer the micro linking method, referring to them as the best hair extensions method. Also, when we talk about micro links, there are many brands and techniques out there. But basically, there are only two different ways to install them. In this blog, let me go through some of the variables to help give you a better understanding of micro linking hair extensions.  

Two main types of installation methods

There are two main types of installation methods with micro linking in applications. These are different techniques and will significantly determine how long your hair extensions last.

 

• Flat pressed micro link. 

 

• Crimped micro link 

 

Both methods attach below the roots of your natural hair using a small circular bead, also referred to as a micro link. The idea of micro links is that they react inside your hair as part of your natural hair. You’re not supposed to notice the extensions in your hair, and they are supposed to feel light and blend naturally, just like your own hair, and are seamless with tiny beads, rendering the strands undetectable.

Various Micro links are available in 5-7 different COLOURS to match hair tones and sizes to fit other areas and hair thickness.

Another vital key to the longevity of this style has everything to do with keeping in contact with your hair extension artist, who can first achieve the best possible installation and be available for ongoing hair care needs.

Different kinds of micro link hair extensions!

The micro ring’s consistency is usually an aluminum microbead, a copper micro link, or an aluminum ring with silicone inside the beads. The aluminum with silicone bead is standard because of its extra security buffer to grip the hair better. But it is a more significant size bond.

No matter which micro link, they are all safe to attach hair extensions.

Flat pressed micro link.

The flat pressed micro link hair extensions last from six weeks – to three months with regular maintenance: detangling and washing regularly! These hair extensions are applied by taking small sections of natural hair and attaching tiny strands of hair to it with no heat or glue involved on your natural hair in this method.

These systems are pressed flat with the use of a flat plier. Most of the flat pressed tubes (micro links) are aluminum. The flat pressed micro connection is not as durable and can slip or shed depending on the strand’s preparation or purchase history.

These are not certified hair extension systems. You do not need to be a hairdresser to purchase these products. Therefore, if you may feel tightness or temporary headaches on the first day or so, it may be because of tension from the microbead installation to close to the scalp. The bonds in the strand by strand hair extensions should move with your natural hair for the free-flowing effect.

The following are some of the many micro links available:

The Micro link

An I-tipped hair strand is pushed through a micro link and is closed by pressing the link flat with regular pliers. You can purchase these at Sally’s or Amazon, and the human hair used by these methods very rarely has authenticity papers.

Micro link with silicone or Silicone Ring

The silicone lining of each link protects your hair from the metal link with a thin non-slip silicone layer inside them for cushioning and better grip. 

Micro rings

Micro rings are fine quality with smooth rounded edges in a round-shaped bead. They are a bead pressed flat to install and last 2-3 months, and these are only different names for the same thing.

Silicone Micro Beads

Silicone is very gentle on your hair as it acts as a cushion between your hair and ring. Good for hair prone to breakage. With silicone lining, easy to offer a superior hold that prevents slipping and damage to your hair.

Aluminum rings are thicker and hold tight with some types of hair. Silicone aluminum rings.

This silicone micro ring bead usually includes five COLOURS: Black/Brown/Dark Brown/blonde/Light Blonde.

Microbead 

Microbeads use the tiniest bead for installation and do maintenance at 4-6 weeks after the initial install.

Micro Loops

Looplets fit smaller extensions strands and appear flattened and generally less noticeable.

Crimped micro linking methods

This method of micro link hair extensions lasts the longest by far! This method of installation will last up to six months with proper maintenance. Furthermore, the crimped micro link is a certified system requiring a hairdressing license and certification.

The crimped micro linking hair extensions use tiny beveled copper rings that are crimped and folded to install hair extension strands. The crimped method of the micro linking strategies is a strand by strand system that links a copper cylinder to your natural hair strands without the natural hair in contact with any glue or harsh chemicals.

It is a series of tiny beveled-edged rings that give a secure grip making your hair extension system last the six months. 

The copper is thinner and softer, more comfortable against the scalp for some. Good for hair that is very fragile, prone to breakage or overprocessed. This system gives a non-bulky natural, free-flowing look and feel.

The crimped micro link hair extensions will last for six months with proper installation and care. Although the length of time in your hair may vary as it is an individual recommendation, in which case it may not be as long as six months.

Consider only wearing them for five months on finer hair, as delicate hair will need more care. These hair extensions are harmless for most hair types, especially normal-medium ones. The smaller links are best for near the hairline,

The crimped micro linking method is a certified hair extension system. It requires a certified professional hair extension artist familiar with the crimped micro linking hair installation and removal processes.

Your micro link hair extensions should not give you any degree of pain from wearing them. Contact your hair extension artist with any issues. They should be able to address the issue.

Euro Locs is an alternative crimped micro linking method.

Micro link hair extensions last best with good density and hair texture!

Hair density

If the client does not have even hair density on their scalp, their micro link hair extension will not last. Density means an even number of strands of hair growing out of each square inch of your scalp. Ensure there are no bald spots or damaged hair in the areas where you install the strands.

Hair density tells you a lot about the condition of your hair and how well you look after it. Other reasons for the low density of hair would be genetics or a medical condition. If you are experiencing any medical conditions, micro link hair extensions may not be suitable for you. Please see your specialist.

Hair quality

The best hair quality will make your micro link hair extensions last. The strand by strand system gives the best hair quality because, in each bundle, the shorter hairs are ‘drawn out,’ keeping only the longest healthiest hairs. Using only the most extended lengths makes for a soft, sleek hair extension look. Other cheaper systems may use single-drawn hair, which has shorter hairs, which can break faster, look messy and not look the length intended. 

The quality of the hair will affect the length of time the micro link lasts in your hair. Although the connection may stay in its place, you wouldn’t want to wear the hair extension system if the hair is compromised. It will affect the length of time your hair extensions system will look good and last.

Reusing the same hair!

Reusing the same hair may not save you money. When we buy hair, we purchase it in a commercial bulk form and from that, we derive at a reasonable price. Old strands have glue on the tips that will not last if reused. Re-gluing the nail head strand systems take time and extra money.

The strands can have broken pieces that need to be ‘drawn out.’ All this is a different procedure that costs professional time, and it takes longer to apply the system on reused hair, possibly making the cost more than the return. Our hair is of exceptional quality after wearing the micro link extensions.

Hair Texture

We use high-quality 100% Remy human hair in various textures with crimped micro links. It is always best to see and feel the hair before agreeing to your hair extension service. You can choose the one that looks similar to your hair, and textures would be straight, wavy, or curly. Be careful with curly hair extensions, though. Curly hair is dry and will need lots of conditioning.

The hair texture does not affect how long micro linking hair extensions last. If you have a hair type that grows fast, you might notice the extension start slip; this adds unnecessary pressure to your hair strands starting from the root. If this is the case, you may want to consider maintenance sooner than expected or removal before the six months.

Prepping or buying the hair strands will help the micro link hair extensions last.

Buying hair strands.

Having the micro link hair extensions last, a sound system for adhesion is in the commercial hair. The system will shed if the hair extension tips are dried out or old. The micro links will not last with the wrong type of glue. If old hair can be dry-looking, your micro linking hair extensions will not look good and be hard to look after. So it’s essential to have a professional hair extension artist buy the hair for you.  

I have my systems here, which I use for the hair extension systems. I import high-quality hair and products, and I will not go through the complications that hair clients bring in their hair. Human hair is one of the most complex products to buy, and it takes years of experience to recognize good hair quality.

To supply my clients with the best products, I need everyone on board to give the best price and a guaranteed quality job. To find the best suppliers with luxurious hair, I have to buy kilos of hair at a time. Unseen and with the help of trusted suppliers to send me the best quality.   I received many hair bundles that were unsuitable for hair extensions when I first began hair extensions. I have ‘practice hair’ on hand other hair extension stylists may use as their staple product. So be aware.

Trust your stylist!

Pre-tipping custom strands.

Pre-tipping the hair strands from bulk is what I do to ensure the pre-tipped strands are from fresh keratin adhesive to secure the micro link hair extensions last. I know we say no glue, but there is glue on the tip of the hair strand, and that is to ensure the strands won’t shed, and this glue does not adhere to your hair. 

The glue may dry out on old strands, and it is best with the pre-tipping procedure to on new hair.

Type of glue used on the tip of the hair results in the durability of the strands. Defective glue at the ‘tip’ of the strands can cause shedding. Once they start shedding, the circumference of the pre-tipped pre-glued tip gets smaller and will not fit in the micro link, causing the strands to start ‘shedding,’ and the sooner you lose of the strands.

The objective of the glued tips. 

The glue used to pre-tip the objective is to deconstruct the glue bond, causing more of a sticky note adhesive, then mold them inside the link as a cushion for your natural hair. You are giving additional protection from damage in the bond area. It takes the glue from a sticky adhesive to more like a sticky note so he can peel off the hair at the removal from the head.

Micro linking is a glue less hair extension system, there is glue on the tips of the hair, and this glue helps secure the hair strands inside the bond. Still, we don’t want it to adhere to the natural hair, so what we do is break down the glue, so it’s more like a sticky note, and then it’s going to bend in the link, and this is going to give us secure a long-lasting bond.

Micro link hair extensions last with the correct installation procedure.

Sectioning for Hair Extensions

Micro link hair extensions last the longest with good clean sectioning with evenly weighted distribution when installing the extensions. Keeping further away from the hairline so they won’t be noticeable when wearing up dos or ponytails.,

We shed hair every day when we wear hair extensions; we can’t brush these fallen strands out. When this happens, separating these strands is necessary, and this is done simply by splitting two strands apart. Ask your stylist!

Micro linking hair extensions last with good installation.

Installation is too close to the scalp. The micro link hair extensions may prove painful, mainly the case. Hair extensions placed too close to the scalp may cause itchiness and discomfort during the first few days or weeks of wear, and they may be slightly uncomfortable to wear. However, hair extensions are not for everyone, and it is entirely at your expense if you find discomfort in their wear.

The installation could use various sizes of the links on the same head. For instance, we would typically use regular size links that fit more extensive hair strands in the back of the head, but we may use smaller links with the sides or top of the head. The application procedure will take anywhere from one-five hours, depending on how many extensions are needed allowing the client’s natural hair to thrive.

Use clean, even sections to have the micro link hair extensions last much better for a solid micro linking set. The hair can’t be messy, and the hair has to be smooth from the root area to the bond and through the bond. It’s so important to have your section that you’re going to put the hair strand on, from the root area to the bond; each hair has to be straight down and smooth.

All the strands should hang at relatively the same length of placement. You don’t want any bulking or lift or over-directing from the root, and it has to be smooth working down in the direction of the natural hair growth.

Go to a professional.

It’s essential to have a professional hair extension artist; sectioning is crucial in having nice clean sectioning is having a nice clean natural hair extension look. Clean and precise sectioning with the hair smooths out the point of bonding. Also, it is vital to have high-end equipment for bonding! I always have plenty of tools and new fresh templates for every customer.

Hair extension Removal!

Micro link hair extensions last far longer than the due date but do not leave them in longer. The follicles can not take the weight of the copper ring and natural dreading of the fallen hairs. Leaving them in longer will cause breakage, and removing the dreads will thin out your natural hair.

The proper equipment and knowledge of the hair extension systems are essential when doing removals. It would be best if you never attempted to remove your own micro link hair extensions because you may accidentally pull out your natural hair, making for a harrowing experience.

Schedule an appointment with your stylist for micro link removal to eliminate the chance you might destroy your natural hair during the removal process.

The correct aftercare will help micro link hair extensions last!

Products for hair extensions!

Micro link hair extensions last with clients’ correct aftercare regime. Proper cleansing of the hair and scalp can promote hair growth. The consistent cleansing regimen of your hair and scalp (In addition to a well-balanced diet and adequate supplementation) can help hair grow.

Not all shampoos are good for hair extension hair.

The human hair cut from the head no longer has an acid mantel. It will now have a positive charge, so favorable ionic based products will work the best on the commercial hair. Acidified products will dry out the hair extension hair and cause matting making it hard to look after your hair extensions. 

Excessive scratching can cause soreness of the scalp and could be due to the products you are using. Shampoo products for hair extensions should always be at a neutral ph. For all commercial hair, we recommend Level Ph7 shampoos.

But, with styling products, this problem may not occur. Always use a good moisturizer (keeping away from the bonds) and a preventative thermal conditioner before blow-drying or the flat iron.

Avoid breakage and maintain the longevity of the extensions with proper, gentle care. The hair will last longer and look glamorous or a natural look.

Get maintenance appointments for micro link hair extensions last!

Micro link hair extensions last best when you remove the hooks from your fallen hairs! Time and time again, clients miss this step. If you ever heard someone not happy with the condition of their hair after micro link hair extensions, they probably missed this step! It is so important to have ‘maintenance’ on the strands so you can wear them for an extra three months.

Also, maintenance appointments at the three months depending on the micro link used.

With the crimped micro linking hair extensions to last six months, you need to have your professional hair extension artist perform the maintenance procedure at three months of wear. If not, I recommend you remove your crimped micro linking system.

Hair extension maintenance is much-needed in-between wear, specifically for the crimped micro links. Do not overwear your extensions, which will damage your hair, and do not color over the bonds or near the bonds, especially when bleaching. 

While the convenience of changing your look with hair extensions rapidly, the maintenance appointment may be slightly on the downside as to the inconvenience and what accompanies the removal process. That inconvenience will entail making a trip to your hair extension artist, faithfully!

The key to the longevity of this style has everything to do with keeping in contact with your hair extension artist, who can first achieve the best possible installation and be available for ongoing hair care needs.

Conclusion for micro link hair extensions.

No doubt that the strand by strand system with the crimped micro link hair extensions last the best! Although it is essential to get professional installation and maintenance for these hair extensions, they last the longest with the most effortless daily wear because of the bond’s high-quality hair and durability.

Please excuse my videos and voice overs as I am in the process of learning all these applications.

The best types of hair extensions!

 

Hair extension systems have a purpose and will serve the purpose well if installed and maintained correctly. Following the correct maintenance regiment and guidelines will preserve your hair extensions and give you easy care and long-lasting wear.

Where to go:

The best types of hair extensions are certified hair extension methods that require professional training and experience. 

The professional hair extension artist takes precise sectioning, has upgraded equipment, and keeps a clean station. They will also boost their knowledge base frequently as the hair extension industry constantly upgrades, reinventing better and more efficient methods. 

The hair used:

The best types of hair extensions are not only proven high-grade systems, but they must have high-end hair to look natural and work well within the clients’ natural hair.

High-end meaning fresh Remy hair that has been drawn out into beautiful long lengths! No shorter or broken hairs within the installation.

 

Most of the less expensive hair extensions are from single-drawn hair that may not be nice to wear, and this would be with the longer lengths drawn out, leaving shorter, older broken hairs in the bundles. 

Hair quality will always make a difference in the look and feel of the hair extensions.

 

I use the most beautiful, healthy fresh-cut authentic Remy hair imported and drawn out into beautiful long lengths!

 

Most of the less expensive hair extensions are from single-drawn hair that may not be nice to wear. Single-drawn hair has longer lengths drawn out, leaving shorter, older broken hair strands in the bundles. Some single-drawn bundles may be better than others, but most with the healthiest hairs removed.  

Hair quality will always make the difference in the best types of hair extensions. A lesser rate of hair will mat and tangle, requiring shampooing. This hair extension will also be arid and require tons of conditioners.

 

We use the most beautiful, healthy fresh-cut human imported hairs for the soft and natural hair extensions.

Summary:

You have to discover the best types of hair extensions through research and trying the methods out for yourself. All the hair extension systems are sound, and it’s all about how you wear them, your maintenance schedule, and how long you wear them? 

Classifications

The best types of hair extensions would be under two classifications. There are ‘strand by strand’ methods and ‘hair weft’ panels. When your hair extension professional purchases hair, it would come in either a long threaded panel called a weft or bulk hair ready to prepare the strand by strand methods. Bulk hair means loose hair tied in a bundle.  

 

1. Strand by strand – keratin fusion bonding, micro links and knotting (braiding).

2. Weft panels – tape in, clip in, flip in, sewn in, beaded panels.

Strand by strand methods.

The best types of hair extensions are the strand by strand methods for comfort and a natural blend. Strand by strand methods is free-flowing; they move naturally with your hair and work well in all hair types. These systems can last up to six months, and because of the work involved in the application, they are a bit more expensive. 

The strand by strand method requires the best quality hair to succeed in wear, rendering their soft silky feel. Colors can be mixed or blended, chunky or dimensional it’s like adding hair length and colour simultaneously.

 

Micro linking methods.

The best types of hair extensions for medium hair are the crimped micro linking methods. These types of micro linking require installation by a certified micro linking hair extensions technician. They stay for an incredible six months, and you can style and colour your hair as before. 

The crimped micro links are durable with free-flowing movement, just like natural hair.

There are many different micro links, and not all are the crimped method. The micro links come in various sizes, makes and colors, and the strands can be of different thicknesses or superfine. These variables will affect the length of the wear or the quality of the installation. 

Micro linking on thick hair

The crimped micro links are the best types of hair extensions for thick hair. The bonds are super durable and undetectable with thick hair, lasting until you have them removed. If you are growing your hair, shot too long, these bonds are incredible flawlessly blending the strands to new lengths and lasting the measure of time; through hot tools, shampooing, weather issues, and volcanoes. However, I would recommend doubling up on the conditioners if you have them in mind.

Thick hair requires more strands to cover a full head, but the micro linking strand by strand systems hide flawlessly in the hair. However, the thick hair extensions become pricy with high-quality luxury hair. The average number of strands in a full strand head by strand method would be 150 to 250+ strands. Thick hair can go up in strand count depending on how long the client’s hair is to begin the job. An average weight would be 3 to 4 ounces of hair for a full head, and thick hair could add more weight. 

Micro linking on medium hair

The best types of hair extensions for medium hair are micro linking because they are the most natural-looking hair extensions. They work well in all hair colors and densities, and they last longer than the other methods and are easy to maintain.

Generally the same information as the previous ‘micro linking on thick hair.’

Micro linking on thin hair

The micro linking systems are specialized for fine hair. 

 

There are special-sized micro links for thin hair. The crimped micro link has a half size that folds over ever so tiny, making them safe for fine hair.

 

However, if your hair lacks density, micro linking is not recommended.

Also, repeated wear of the micro linking on thin hair may not always be appropriate. Instead, switch it up, wear the preferred cold fusion, and intermittingly have the micro linking.

The strand by strand method can suit thin hair, with adjustments made to the systems to suit fine hair. Each design will adjust installation to fit the hair texture’s best needs. Sometimes clients like thicker strands with fine hair, and sometimes more delicate ones. The finer the strand, the finer the bond. Finer strands may require more strands in the head, or you may suit thicker strands with fewer strands in the head. Or one might say that the thicker strand helps cushion and protect the fine natural hair.  

 

Personal preference can vary from individual to individual.

Micro linking on fine hair is harmless with the right system and installation techniques. 

 Keratin cold fusion strand method

The best types of hair extensions for fine or blonde hair are the strand methods of keratin cold fusion. The cold fusion method is the least damaging to the natural hair.

The high-end cold fusion companies have a complex keratin fusion bonding that lasts six months and requires professional removal due to its durability and longevity. These systems will stay well in any hair type. A low-frequency pulse softens the keratin cold fusion strands compared to hot fusion, which is very hot and can harm the hair.

The cold fusion method is safe for the hair and gives it a secure bond for 4 to 5 months. This method is the least damaging to the natural hair, making them perfect for blonde or fine delicate hair. 

If your hair is oily, the cold fusion method may not be the best. Oil can deconstruct a fusion bond, causing slippage and loss of your strand. Do not put conditioner on the bonds, only on the hair lengths, not the fusion bond.

With the DIY systems, if you use hot tools and do a lot of hair styling cold fusion, these may not be the system for you.

Keratin cold fusion on thick hair

Oils from the hair shaft can affect the keratin bond or loosen the hairs inside the micro copper ring, so frequent shampooing keeps the bonds free from oils. 

The thicker the hair, the more hair strands.

Keratin cold fusion on medium hair

Keratin Cold Fusion is also one of the best types of hair extensions for medium hair. They are strand by strand systems that look natural; they work well in all hair colors and textures. 

Colors can be mixed or blended, chunky or dimensional it’s like adding hair length and colour simultaneously. The free-flowing movement is like your natural hair, now fuller and longer.

Keratin cold fusion on thin hair

The best types of hair extensions recommended for fine thin hair are the keratin cold fusion system, and these bonds are the gentlest on natural hair. 

 

Some companies with stronger bonds offer six-month wear on their Keratin Cold Fusion hair extension methods, but if natural hair lacks density, hair extension strands can slip out. If the natural hair density is patchy, they can also slip out in those areas.

 

The DIY Keratin Cold Fusion

lasts me approximately four months, and I install them myself with the most beautiful hair I sort and draw out. I love my hair extensions!

These techniques are braiding and knotting.

Weft Methods

Sample of clip-in and tape-in hair extensions in single-drawn human hair.

 

The weft methods will take the hair from an already threaded weft (or, in this case, also a glued panel) and apply the extension systems. 

The wefts can come in different forms of threading, depending on the distributor or your request.  Sometimes there are hand-tied wefts; some wefts are double strips, sometimes single strips.  Threads are the same colour as the hair blending in well. 

Clip-In Weft methods

 

Clip-Ins are the best types of hair extensions for many hair types. Not only because they are the fastest and most affordable, but also great for adding colour or extra volume.  

When wearing clip-ins, you would install and remove them each day. Sleeping with this type of hair extension could cause damage to your hair. Clip-in hair extensions are meant for temporary use to extend your hair.

Clip-in extensions are fast and so simple – you don’t even need a hairstylist to put them in.  The toupee clips come in different sizes and are attached to hair wefts; then, you clip them in your hair.  It’s an excellent option for when you are not ready to commit to wearing extensions on a more permanent basis.  

Clip-In weft methods on thick hair

The toupee clips add a lot of bulk, and already thick hair may be cumbersome. You may need to double the panels required in a complete set of clip-in extensions or maybe use extra panels.

 

It would be best to try the different sizes of toupee clips to see which ones better suit your thick hair. I had a client come in with extremely thick hair, and she liked the tiny ones. She bought many tiny ones and placed them directly beside each other on the weft panel, and they stayed best for her that way.

  

Also, installing so many Clip-ins daily and removing them at night is a big job, so make sure you are up to it!

It’s an excellent idea for a one-day event like a wedding or a special night out. It is long hair instantly without committing to more permanent hair extension methods.

 

Clip-in weft methods on medium hair

Clip-in hair extensions work great on medium hair types. Easy to install, easy to hide, and very comfortable to wear. 

The average number of panels sold in a complete set is suitable for medium-weight hair. With careful installation and daily removal, the clip-in method of hair extensions is ideal for medium hair.

Clip-in weft methods on thin hair

Clip-In hair extension methods on thin hair might only be a half head application- with half the number of panels recommended for a complete set, it can sometimes be plenty for the ‘fine hair’ client.

You wouldn’t want to place them too close to the hairline, too high up, or too close. Fine hair might have a hard time covering up the attachment panels.  

 

A minimal amount of weft panels should work well in the fine hair, but you need to test the different sizes of toupee clips. The smallest size may not work in fine hair, and there might be a need for a larger grip to clasp more of the fine hairs together for a more secure hold.

Tape-in weft methods

Tape-In hair extensions are not from a weft but the same concept; pre-glued hair panels are used, not threaded panels as in the weft. Tape-ins are a comfortable hair extension system that is fast to install and easy to maintain. 

 

Tape-Ins might be better suited for some hair types better than others. But the tape width and lengths can be adjusted, which may help with your hair and kind.

The tape-in hair extension systems will last approximately 4-6 weeks in your hair before you will need to remove them. They can be re-installed once the panels have been re-glued with a specialized double-sided adhesive. 

Tape-in weft methods on thick hair

The best types of hair extensions for thick hair probably are not tape-ins! With tape-ins, the thick-haired client would experience the same problem as the Clip-ins with a lot of bulk at the base of your hair, especially with the number of panels needed to cover the thick-haired client’s head. Depending on the placement of the tape-in weft panels, you may need double the recommended amount of panels to cover the thick natural hair.

 

Tape-Ins are wefts sandwiched between two panels of the hair extensions and the natural hair. 

The tape-in panels adhere with double-sided polyurethane-coated tape. Installed close to the root, it can give a natural look that will last about a month before needing replacement. The panels can be re-glued and reused as long as they are not left in the hair too long and with proper hair extension maintenance.

Tape-in weft methods on medium hair

Tape-ins are also one of the best types of hair extensions for medium hair. Like Clip-ins, they hide seamlessly and usually work well with a complete head installation.

Tape-In weft methods on thin hair

Tape-ins are the best types of hair extensions for fine hair. So other people say, and I’ve read it online, that tape-ins are the best type of hair extensions for fine hair, but I don’t think so. 

I think you can see the tape-in attachments through fine hair. Even when the tape portion hides after installation, it seems to pop through at some time during the wear. I always say ‘no’ to tape-ins when it’s in fine hair.

 

I know people who swear by them, but they have a baseball hat over their hair when I see them. Because not long after wearing tape-ins, the sides of the glued panels can lift and start looking sloppy. Be careful with that! It might help if you buy your double-sided tape to fix the problem immediately if you continue to wear tape on hair extensions.

Sew on Weft Methods

Weft installs are one of the older methods of hair extensions. Sew-on weft methods are commonly a weft sewn to braids or sometimes attached with beads or micro links to connect the wefts.  

 

 

 

Weft installs are one of the older methods of hair extensions. Sew-on weft methods are commonly a weft sewn to braids or sometimes attached with beads or micro links to connect the wefts to the natural hair.

 

Sew in weft methods on thick hair

These are the best types of hair extensions for thick hair! Sew in weft methods are ideal for coarse or thick hair.  

The wefts have a more significant amount of hair than the strand by strand methods. When installed, it helps blend into the thick hair client’s head. Also, when needed, install double wefts for extra thickness.  

 

The Sew-in methods are a thick weft of hair sewn onto braids at the base of the hair. A good part of the extra bulk from the natural hair hides in the braids. This method lasts approximately three months and will very in hair quality.

Sew in weft methods on medium hair

The Sew-in weft methods are also one of the best types of hair extensions for medium hair. It hides well and will and will give comfortable wear. 

Read the previous paragraph on ‘Sew in weft methods on thick hair for more information.’

Sew in weft methods on thin hair

The weft methods are not the best types of hair extensions for fine hair, and fine hair would slip out of the connect and not hold the hair panels in place very well or slip out completely.   

Right knotted thread is not good on fine hair. The tight threads can cause breakage, mating, and dreading.  

The stress on the scalp from the weight of the extension is harmful and can cause hair to fall out.  

Conclusion

The best types of hair extensions are ultimately going to depend on four things, the natural hair type, the budget you have for hair extensions, high-quality Remy human hair, and a certified professional hair extension technician.  

Let a certified professional hair extension technician recommend the best system for you.

The most popular hair extension methods are notably the crimped micro linking systems. The crimped micro connecting systems are a strand by strand method favored for durability and long-lasting wear.

These systems are like wearing your natural hair with the strand by strand installation. The strand by strand hair extension methods requires exceptional human hair for the most effortless wear. The procedure is to double or triple draw hair for a smooth and tangle-free extension that meshes seamlessly with the natural hair.

This blog includes other popular hair extension methods like clip-in, tape-ins, Sew-ins, and keratin fusion systems. Not included in this blog are techniques such as braiding, crocheting, or others.

Certified hair extension systems.

Not all micro links are the same! The crimped micro linking methods are certified installation systems that require professional training and experienced installation. 

The hair installed is essential, and poor quality hair gives poor results in the wear of the hair extensions.

The crimped micro linking systems.

The crimped micro link method requires certification training. Unique tools are needed to install and remove the links without ripping the natural hair. So make sure you go to a certified hair extension technician for these services.

They stay for an incredible six months without shedding and with very little maintenance.

The hair used for the crimped micro linking methods will use a nail head strand with high-quality double or triple drawn Remy human hair. The nailhead hair is round circular tips placed inside the micro link with the client’s hair strands and secured with the crimp.

Our flared micro links come in four sizes and seven different colours. We use the flared micro links for the crimped micro linking methods.

The crimped method takes the nail head strand with the client’s hair strands and threads it through the tiny copper ring. You attach the hair extension with a crimp and secure the extension strand in your hair.

There are half sizes for fine or blonde hair. Commonly is the standard size, medium size and Nano size.

You can see how tiny the half size is. There are lots of different kinds of micro links. Knowledge and correct installation make the difference in their longevity and comfort.

Our hair extension methods.

Micro linking is not cold fusion. With micro linking, there is no glue fusing your natural hair to the bonds. The adhesive on the pre-tipped strand of hair used in micro linking is more like a sticky note glue, and it’s not capable of fusing to your hair.

Here are the nail head tips created by Betty Bizzarre! And the cold fusion ones! The strands are free-flowing and work seamlessly within your hair, making them popular hair extension methods. 

 

The keratin cold fusion hair extension system.

This strand by strand popular hair extension method is safe and comfortable to wear. The hair used is top-quality Remy human hair, and the technique softens the glue blond without the harsh melting procedure. The highly complex equipment sends ultrasonic pulses allowing the adhesive to soften, not melt, and the technician forms bonds attaching the extension hair to the natural hair.  

Alternative popular hair extension methods.

The cold fusion bonds are pre-tipped to form various shapes, mostly preference. I prefer the keratin glue V tip.

The advantage in creating your personalized hair strands is colour within the individual hair strands and quality control of the hair within the strands.

The keratin cold fusion system lasts four to five months and is soft and comfortable to wear. The colour of the bonds transforms to the client’s natural hair colour. They are easy to remove and can easily be removed by others.

I’ve been doing this hair extensions method in my hair for over twenty years. I wouldn’t wear any other form.

The cold keratin fusion costs more and doesn’t last as long as the micro linking, but it’s healthier on natural hair, especially for fine-haired clients.

Non-certified popular hair extension methods.

Micro links are popular hair extensions by DIY as they are usually readily available for sale to the public and do not require training. They come in all sizes, and variations can be ordered from other companies or online or bought at Sally’s or other supply outlets.

Micro rings, microbeads and micro links.

These non-certified micro links are pressed half into a flat bond, not crimped, and removed with pliers. 

Sometimes called micro rings, micro beads and micro links come in different kinds and sizes. Some micro links come with silicone inside, or you can get them with an inside screw or ridges inside the micro link for a tighter grip.

Clip-ins 

The most popular hair extension method for people beginning to wear hair extensions and the most straightforward approach is the clip in’s. Clip-ins are sections from a hair weft, also known as weaves, attached toupee clips.

From a weft, you cut your section and place your toupee clip on the back of the weft. Adhere by gluing and or sewing the attachment. A comb-like grip at the back of the toupee clip; this comb goes outside the weft. The toupee clips grip the hair locking the hair extensions in place.

You can have a complete set of these extensions or have individual pieces throughout your head.

Remove the clip-in hair extensions before bed. Sleeping with the clip-on in your hair can cause breakage or damage to your hair.

Adhere by gluing and or sewing the attachment. A comb-like grip at the back of the toupee clip; this comb goes outside the weft. Which grips and clips the hair during installation locking the extension in place. You can have a complete set of these extensions or have individual pieces throughout your head.

The toupee clips come in four colours. I’m missing my dark brown; one little dark brown left!

They come in blonde, light brown, black, and dark brown.

The hair you can buy in the weft comes in different qualities like single drawn, double drawn, triple drawn, etc. Hair extension qualities should always be Remy meaning the cuticles all run in the same direction.

Avoid fallen hair, non-cuticle, and single-drawn for natural-looking hair extensions.

Clip-ins are inexpensive and do not need professional installation, making them a popular hair extension method.

Tape-Ins

Tape-ins are popular hair extension methods they are like the wefts only without thread attaching the hairs its glue!

These have; you can see, it’s got polyurethane-coated panels with double-sided tape attached on top with the hairs directed downward resembling the strands coming from a scalp. Usually, the hair used for tape-ins and clip-ins is single-drawn which is less expensive, and is low-quality hair.  

 

Custom orders can use high-quality hair for both systems. The method of application for tape-ins can be in different ways. The most common is to take a section of the client’s hair and sandwich the two glued pieces on each side of the hair section. Other methods may sandwich one panel with a glue strip, depending on the manufacturing.

 

Clip-ins, tape-ins, and Sew-ins systems may be bulky at the base of the hair, but thicker or longer layered hair can hide this. Care is needed to cover up with fine or delicate hair. This method is inexpensive and installed fast, making them popular hair extension methods.

Sew-Ins 

Sew-ins are also popular hair extension methods because they are relatively fast to install and less expensive than the strand by strand methods. 

The quality of hair can vary, making the price range as well. Sew-in hair wefts have many different attributes, lengths, and colors. Sew-ins are installed by placing cornrows or braids and sewing the weft onto the braid.

Wefts can also be installed in the hair using micro links bonding the natural hair strands to strands from the weave. The micro links used in this installation are usually the flat pressed kind.

It was first suited for black hair types, now worn by all hair types. These are popular hair extension methods to have thick hair at a medium price range with minimal time on installation.

Other Companies 

Here are some of the samples I have from other hair companies.  This first sample is from a high-end cold fusion line. The keratin fusion bonds are the same colour as the hair strands, and these keratin cold fusion bonds blend in with the client’s hair colour.  This hair extension line is costly and a brand name with requirements on ordering.  

Alternative flat keratin fusion strands

These are very thick from a company that sent me samples, and it’s not a brand I use, and the bonds would turn out far too cumbersome. 

Here I have some samples of some less expensive fusion brands. Each company seems to do their version of strands with various shapes, some being good and some not so good.

These are the U-tipped ones I’m showing first. For fusion tips, we use a press as I have here. On the hand, I have the U-tip press, the I-tip press, and the V-tp press. The shape of the press has no reflection on the system, and it’s only the installer’s preference.

The keratin fusion will come in many sizes, shapes, colors and formulas. The flat, clear, and golden bond is more complex, and the other is a softer keratin bond in a larger gold form.

Which one you like better is going to depend on preference. You have to try and see for yourself! That’s the only way to know!

Also famous is the black keratin glue for dark hair, and the flat pellets are for the cold fusion.

Great Lengths

The Great Lengths bonds last six months in the client’s hair without shedding or slipping. Any professional GL Salon can remove these strong bonds, and the cost is extra, and the remover is pricey.

Other companies Nail head strands.

These nail head strands are from companies that have sent hair samples to me. These have very long tips, and all the pieces are about half a gram thick.
