Microlinks Extensions - Micro ring hair extensions
what are microlink extensions?
Microlink Extensions, also known as micro ring or micro bead extensions, are a popular method of adding hair volume and length without using glue, heat or braids (conrows). Microlink extensions are individual hair bundles that are attached to your natural hair using small metal rings or beads. These rings usually have a silicone layer to protect your natural hair and prevent damage. These hair extensions shape require regular maintenance. The micro rings may shift over time and may need to be adjusted. Microlink extensions are a great option for those looking for semi-permanent hair extensions without the disadvantages of glue or heat.
If you follow a training at Yalou Academy, you will learn, among other things, how to apply microlinks extensions: by thoroughly washing and dividing the hair, placing micro rings with a hook or loop tool, and firmly attaching the extensions with a special pair of pliers.
