Microlink FAQ’s

Microlinks are small silicone lined microbeads, used to attach hair extensions to the natural hair.

Our salon hair extension specialist is trained and certified to safely install the micro link hair extension that will help our clients achieve a natural flowy style that they desire.

Microlink Sew-In is also known as the Braidless Sew In. The silicone based micro beads are place on to the client’s hair, creating a secure foundation. Wefted hair is custom measure and sewn onto the micro link. Portions of the client’s natural hair will cover the weft of the extensions. An average of 5-7 strips are installed to achieve a full head of extensions.

Microlink Strand by Strand technique: The silicone microbeads attach the pre-tipped hair extensions to small section of the client’s natural hair. The pre-tipped extensions are installed in a custom, detailed pattern that will allow the client to achieve their natural, blended style. The number of strands installed will depend on natural fullness of the client’s hair, size of the head and or the desired style.

Silicone lined micro beads are used to install micro link extensions. The silicone inside the bead, is a protective barrier between the micro bead and the client’s natural hair. The client’s natural hair is left out throughout the install and blended with the extensions. These techniques will add fullness, length and or color to the client’s natural hair. Microlinks extensions will give a natural, seamless finish, and most installs will allow the client to wear their hair in an updo or ponytail as well.
