HOW DO BEAD HAIR EXTENSIONS WORK?

If you’ve ever dreamed of longer, fuller hair, then hair extensions might be the perfect solution for you. Micro-beaded hair extensions are a game-changer for anyone looking to update their look with natural, versatile and durable styling options. Let’s explore how these hair extension beads work and how they can add length, volume or a splash of colour without damaging your hair.

What are micro-beaded hair extensions?

Micro-bead extensions are either individual strands of hair called I-Tips or nano-ring extensions called nanotips. These micro hair extensions are attached with a tiny bead designed to match the colour of your hair, so they blend in seamlessly near the roots of your hair.

The application and removal process

Micro bead hair extension pieces are inserted into the beads with small sections of your hair threaded through the bead and clamped closed near the roots of your hair. To remove the extensions, the beads are simply squeezed in the opposite direction via the specially designed hair extension removal tool and the hair is released without pain or damage to your natural hair.

The extension strands are applied in neat, horizontal rows around the back and mid-sections of your head. They can also be applied around the sides of your head to balance the weight and look of your desired hairstyle.

Will the hair extension beads hurt?

The extensions are not applied on the top of your head on your crown, otherwise they would be visible and also very uncomfortable. The placement is very important to avoid being seen and to avoid stress on your hair. The top layers of your hair cover the neat rows of bonds.

The beads that are used to attach the extensions are cushioned, and the bead protects your hair while it is held in the bead from any breakage. The beads are secure and gentle on your hair, when placed in your hair correctly they will not slip out.

The benefits of micro hair bead extensions

1. Causes less damage

Micro-beaded hair extensions are preferred for their minimal damage to natural hair. They eschew heat and glue for attachment, which can stress the scalp or strands. This gentle method reduces breakage and maintains hair health.

2. They are adjustable, reusable and relatively low-maintenance

The great thing about individual hair bead extensions is that they can be re-used. You can wear them for 2 months before requiring any re-adjusting. That’s right, you don’t have to buy new hair every time you need your extensions moved up (unlike the keratin-bonded types such as Great Lengths where you have to buy new hair once they grow down too low).

3. Long-term value

During your maintenance appointment, the extensions are completely removed and then freshly reapplied with new beads and ready for another 8 weeks of wear. You can reuse the same hair extension set for around 6 maintenance cycles, that is 12 months! Great value for a hair extension system.

Are beaded hair extensions right for me?

Beaded hair extensions are best for those looking for a long-term solution that won’t damage their natural hair. These include individuals who:

• Have fine or thinning hair — Both micro and nano-beaded hair extensions are perfect for those with fine or thinning hair, as the small size of the beads seamlessly blend in.
• Have thick or coarse hair — Beaded hair extensions have a durable and secure grip that can provide robust support and volume to individuals with heavier hair.
• Play with hairstyles often — These extensions are also a great choice for anyone who frequently styles their hair in updos or ponytails, as the beads are discreet and allow for versatile styling options.
