Also referred to as the floating weft extension method.  Single weft Microlinks traditionally uses 1-1.5 bundles, very lightweight, and minimum to no tension is experienced. This is a perfect method to add volume and length to shorter hair.

They are favored for their quick and easy application time and for their natural-looking finish. Recommended for women with thin, medium or thick hair density. High Ponytail Approved

 

Which install method is the best for me?

All methods are beautiful, easy, versatile and flexible. The method chosen is determined by YOUR natural hair (the weight, density, thickness, etc). If the correct method is selected for your hair, your results will be optimal. 

 

Unsure which method is best to choose?

Schedule a FREE 15 min. phone consultation with us. We’ll ask you a couple of questions to determine which technique would work best for your hair and lifestyle.

 

Is there a certain hair texture or length that Microlinks are better suited for?

Microlinks are great for all hair textures. A texture match can be performed to accomplish your style goals. Microlinks are best suited for clients with hair at least 4-5″ long to ensure there is enough hair to cover the microbeads and weft/ITIPS and pass the ponytail test.

If your hair is short, you may not have the same versatility as someone with longer hair, but you can still get Microlinks.

 

Is there a big difference between Single, Double or I tips Microlinks?

Each method can provide a different outcome. We sometimes combine these methods when installing to provide our clients with the look and feel they are looking for. All three methods are different and suited for clients based on the health, weight and density of their natural hair.

 

How often should I do a Refresh/ Tightening? 

A refresh is when we move the hair extension back up. On average our hair grows about half an inch every 4 weeks. By 6 weeks there is a separation between your scalp and the hair extension. We first will move the hair extension to its original place, this will prevent any tangling or breakage between the new growth. We proceed by washing and styling your luxury microlinks. This process feels like getting a new install after we are done, but done in half the time.

If you have thin hair, we recommend that you come back every 4 weeks. If you have medium to thick hair we recommend you come in 6 weeks.  

Tape in hair extensions: we are unable to move the hair extension back up without starting from scratch. With tape in hair extensions we have to remove, replace the old tape and reinstall. 

 

Micro link extensions are an excellent way to protect your hair and give you the hair extension transformation you deserve. Generally, hair extensions provide this unique flexibility that allows you to wear amazing hairstyles that twists and braids can’t even give.

Today, we can agree that hair extensions are rapidly taking over the world’s hair industry.

Most women get these extensions to improve their natural hair growth and strength. Others look out for more hair length and volume. In the end, it all boils down to the overall beauty of a person.

With many hair options like natural Indian hair, Brazilian, Peruvian, and many others, it may not be easy to know the right hair extension style that best suits you.

Luckily, whether you want a style that involves micro links and the infamous ponytail test or free-flowing tresses, this guide covers it all. What to know about micro links, the various types of hair extensions, and how you can apply them without damaging your natural hair.

What Are Micro Links?

There are different variations of Micro Links. There are the original Micro Links, Braidless Micro Link, Double Weft Micro Link, Single Weft Micro Link, and L A Weave. What makes all these different variations a family of micro links is the use of micro links. These links are like tiny copper rings that anchor the hair extension in place.

Micro links, also known as micro rings, are among the most popular yet the smallest hair extensions attached to natural hair. They are great for adding length and volume for achieving a hair extension transformation.

All these techniques have one thing in common; it allows you to apply hair extensions to the hair without braiding your natural hair. The Braid-less Micro Link and the Double Weft Micro Link are essentially the same technique with different names. Place a line of Micro Rings in the hair as an anchor. Wefted hair is then sew-in on top of the rings with a thread and needle. The Single Weft Micro Link and L A weave is the same technique. No need for a needle and thread for this installation. The micro rings hold the wefted hair in place.

Types of Hair Extensions

There are several types of hair extensions in the market today. These hair extensions are here to give you that full, lengthy, and beautiful hairstyle you desire.

It may be difficult to find hair extensions that blend well with the texture of your natural. Fortunately, there is an overview of hair extensions that may help you make a choice.

#1. Natural Indian Human Hair 

This type of extension looks more natural and more versatile and blends beautifully with ethnic hair. It can be easily dyed, straightened, bleached, and curled.

We only recommend natural Indian human hair extensions because they are made from natural Indian hair. This sustainable practice supports Indian women and their communities. We use natural Indian human hair because of the premium quality and do not require rigorous maintenance.

Natural Indian hair extensions are known to be very easy to style. The waves of natural Indian hair can be straight or curly.

Lavish hair extensions are thick and yet, does not tangle easily. They blend well with our hair texture.

#2. Synthetic Hair

Synthetic hair extensions are mainly produced in Japan. It is hard to manage and preserve this type of hair extension. Because the strands are plastic, you cannot apply heat, color, and it does not fall like natural hair. Your only option is to wear it the way it is purchased. They easily get tangled when given little or too much care.

How To Attach Micro Link Extensions To Your Hair

If you are looking towards reviving your loose or thin curls, the micro links are your best bet. They are also ideal for those who want to add length and volume to the hair.

  • Before you attach the micro ring extension, start by washing your hair. It’s much more comfortable without the extension.
  • Whether you plan to do a micro link ponytail test or a regular fix down, you need to section your hair into rows. It becomes easier to fix the extensions.
  • Collect a few strands of your hair, divide and insert the links. Clamp them together before moving to the next section.
  • Do not attach the extensive micro links to the edges of your hair, especially for ponytails.
  • Continue till you complete every section, and you are ready to style as you desire.

How to Remove the Micro Link Hair Extension

To remove micro link hair extensions safer, use the help of an expert. This process will involve the use of hair pliers to break the bond.

Begin with separating your natural hair from the hair extension. Be sure to work on these sections one step at a time. Use the pliers to squeeze each micro link in the direction from how to attach.

Use the tail end of the comb to loosen the balls and comb the hair properly. Then comb it thoroughly.

Micro Link Hair on Ethnic Hair

Individuals with curly hair can also utilize the micro link extension. Lavish curly hair extensions are made specifically for those with curly hair.

Women who perm their hair can also attach the micro link hair extension to achieve any desired hairstyle.

Having a lot of natural hair also works well for the micro link hair extension, as it makes it easier to blend the hair properly, and the extensions provide length.

Pros and Cons of Micro Link Hair Extension
