Micro bead extensions, also known as micro link or I-tip extensions, are a revolutionary advancement in the hair extension industry. These extensions use tiny beads to attach individual strands of hair to the wearer’s natural hair, creating a seamless and natural look. Among the various types of extensions, 100% human hair micro bead extensions stand out due to their quality, durability, and versatility.
Micro bead hair extensions are a type of hair extension applied strand by strand using small, undetectable metal beads. The beads are used to secure the extension to the natural hair without the need for glue, heat, or sewing. They are favored for their natural appearance and lightweight feel.
Types of Hair Used in Micro Bead Extensions
Synthetic Hair: Made from man-made fibers, synthetic hair is more affordable but less durable and less natural-looking.
Human Hair: Sourced from donors, 100% human hair provides a realistic look and feel. It can be styled, dyed, and treated like natural hair.
Structure of 100% Human Hair Micro Bead Extensions
These extensions consist of high-quality human hair strands with a keratin tip at the root, designed for easy attachment with the bead. The beads are often coated with silicone to protect the natural hair from damage.
