MicroBead Hair Extensions

Micro Bead/Loc/Link Extensions are claimed to be one of the safest ways to go when it comes to long term extensions. There is no heat, no glue, no chemicals. its just hair and a metal clip(bead.) Brands available: HairLoc, Babe, Microlink.

"HairLoc" bonds

Hair is sectioned off into rows and the extension is applied to a piece of hair the same size as the extension. It is secured with a metal clip(bead) that is crunched holding the extension and your hair together. Many brands have a silicone coating on the inside of the clip(bead) to protect your hair.

After 3-4 months its recomended to come in for maintance and get the clips moved up. The clips are easily loosened and moved up then tightened. If maintaned correctly Micro bead/loc extensions can last up to a year!! Also since the hair is not damaged in application you can reuse it; great for people who are color changers.

Before

After

I have a few friends who have done this method, they love it because the clips lay flat against the head and are metal so its smooth against the hair. People who use this method swear by it.

My feathers were applied with this method and it was SUPER easy and quick, no mess whatsoever. I wont lie the first day they were applied it was a little strange (this is from someone who has never had long term extensions) but now a week later, i'm totally used to it and want more!

I look forward to fully trying this hair extension application soon and see what I actually think. 

Also I would like to thank www.hairangel.net for the photos she has a great before and after gallery.
