Are you ready to dive into the technique of Micro-Ring or MicroLink extensions?
Read our article and learn everything you need to know before getting your micro-ring hair extensions applied!
Known as the most advanced version of the keratin bond application technique, MicroLink uses the technique of attaching fine hair strands with metal rings to natural hair.
In this technique, glue is replaced by metal rings (some hairdressers call them beads), in a process that does not damage your natural hair or cause any pain.
As the connection between the extension strands and the client's natural hair is not made close to the root, the hair is less pulled and therefore less likely to be damaged.
The Micro-Ring or Micro Link extension technique does not create extra volume at the hair roots and does not cause discomfort. Therefore, women who choose this type of extension adapt to it much faster.
Warning: before getting any extensions, hair and scalp must be healthy to avoid serious problems!
As we saw above, metal or plastic rings are the stars of this technique. So let's find out more about them.
The rings are compact and smooth, making them discreet.
In the past, rings were made of copper, so after a few shampoos, they would oxidize. Oxidation led to scalp allergies and hair breakage when removing extensions.
Currently, the ring has been reconstructed with advanced technology, using different materials such as carbon fiber or aluminum, completely eliminating the oxidation of the parts.
Generally, five sizes are used: large rings are chosen for those with thick hair; medium and smaller rings are preferred for fine hair and fringes.
Warning: Removal is very easy and quick, however, it is only safe and free of hair breakage when done by qualified professionals!
How does the MicroLink micro-ring extension technique work?
Extensions are attached to the hair using microlink rings, a needle, a small hook, and pliers suitable for the procedure. Attached by the connector ring, the extensions and the client's hair are joined as if they were one.
As it is a natural method that does not damage the hair, the hairdresser ensures that the weight of each strand corresponds to the micro link ring so as not to have weight problems related to excess weight in the hair strand, which could even lead to breakage of the hair root due to the extra weight of the extension.
To give extensions a natural look, hairdressers use rings of unique color and shade close to the natural hair tone.
How long does the Mega Hair Micro Link application take?
Since the process is practical, the application time is much shorter than with other similar techniques.
And how long does each application of Micro Link micro-ring extensions last?
If the person follows all the indications for the maintenance process, the extensions and rings last about 3 months. It is recommended to remove or replace the extensions within 10 weeks to avoid wear and tear and the appearance of the original hair as it continues to grow.
Although extensions last an average of 3 months, some may fall out, in addition to the fact that the hair will grow during this period and the rings will move downwards and become visible. Hence, the need for reapplication.
What about special care for the maintenance of Micro Link micro-ring extensions?
Like all hair procedures, micro-ring or Micro Link extensions require special precautions throughout the period of using the extensions. We list the main care points for maintaining this type of extension below:
* Always use neutral or salt-free shampoos, remembering that extensions and hair should be washed together.
* Pay particular attention to the scalp - wash it thoroughly and always keep it clean;
* Apply conditioner to the length of the strands, avoiding the root - it will moisturize and seal the hair cuticles;
* Use lukewarm or cold water - remember that hot water dries out your hair;
* Gently massage the strands - never rub to avoid tangling them;
* Always dry hair with a hairdryer - if you can't, use a soft towel and try to dry it as much as possible;
* Never sleep with wet hair or tie it up when it's still damp;
* For combing, use wide-tooth combs or soft-bristle brushes, always starting from the ends and gradually working your way up.
Warning: Any accumulation of moisture can lead to the appearance of fungi responsible for many hair problems such as seborrhea, sensitivity, bad odor, and dandruff.
The micro-ring or Micro Link extension technique is considered the most advanced method of extensions, making it one of the most sought-after techniques today.
In addition to giving clients more freedom, the application process is quick, practical, and does not involve chemicals.
Although it works very well on normal or thick hair, the micro-ring or Micro Link extension technique is suitable for all hair types, whether straight, wavy, or curly.
There are only two caveats: this type of extension is not suitable for very damaged or fragile hair or for Afro hair.
If you want to lengthen your hair and take advantage of the micro-ring or Micro Link extension technique, visit your hairdresser and see if you can have this type of application. It is important to consider whether this method will meet your real needs, whether it suits your lifestyle, and especially whether it is suitable for your hair type.
