Microlinks Extensions

Everything You Need to Know Before Getting Microlinks Extensions

What Are Microlinks Extensions? Microlinks extensions, also known as micro bead or micro loop extensions, are perfect for getting that seamless, natural look. Unlike our traditional weave sewins or clip-ins, these extensions are applied strand-by-strand with tiny, almost invisible beads. This means your natural hair blends flawlessly with the extensions, giving you a sleek “Is that all her hair?” vibe. Why Choose Microlinks? Natural Look and Feel: Microlinks move and flow just like your own hair. No one will know they’re extensions unless you spill the tea! Versatility: From sleek ponytails to bouncy curls, you can style microlinks any way you want. The sky’s the limit! Low Maintenance: Microlinks are all about convenience, queen. With proper care (which we'll get to in a sec!), they can last up to 8 weeks with minimal maintenance needed in between salon visits. Longevity: With the right care, microlinks can last up to three months. Talk about getting your money’s worth! Things to Consider Before Getting Microlinks Hair Health: Make sure your natural hair is in good shape. Weak or damaged hair might not hold up well with the beads, leading to breakage. Professional Installation: Find a stylist who knows their way around microlinks. A pro will make sure the beads are applied correctly, protecting your natural hair. Maintenance Routine: Plan for regular touch-ups every 4-6 weeks to keep everything looking fresh. It’s an investment in time and money, but totally worth it! Hair Products: Stick to sulfate-free and gentle products. Heavy oils and silicones can weigh down the beads and mess with your style. Microlinks: Are They Right for You? While microlinks are amazing for many hair types, here are a few things to consider before booking your appointment: Hair Length: Microlinks work best with hair that's at least four inches long. This ensures a secure attachment and a natural blend with your extensions. Hair Health: Healthy hair is happy hair! If your hair is excessively damaged or prone to breakage, it's best to strengthen your natural strands before adding extensions. Scalp Sensitivity: If you have a sensitive scalp, microlinks might be your new best friend. They provide a comfortable and gentle alternative to braids or weaves. How to Care for Your Microlinks Gentle Washing: Use a mild shampoo and conditioner. Focus on your scalp and roots, and be gentle around the beads. Detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb or a special extension brush. Start at the ends and work your way up to avoid tugging on the beads. Heat Styling: Yes, you can use heat, but always use a heat protectant spray. Opt for low to medium heat settings to keep your extensions looking fabulous. Night Care: Before bed, tie your hair in a loose braid or bun. Sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase can help reduce friction and keep your hair smooth. Ready to rock your microlinks?
