Exploring the World of Hair Extensions
Whether you're new to hair extensions or a beauty enthusiast, there's always something new to learn. Some of our favorite types of hair extensions available at SL Raw Virgin Hair include I-tip hair extensions, wigs, tape-in extensions, and clip-ins.
However, today, we focus on our most popular choice: I-tip hair extensions. These extensions are used for Micro-link hair extension applications, also known as cold fusions.

Why I-Tip Hair Extensions?
So why would one consider I-tip hair extensions? Firstly, they are lightweight, undetectable, and offer the freedom to achieve any distinctive look you're going for. They are also non-chemical, meaning they don't require any adhesive for installation, nor do they cause any discomfort. Additionally, you have the freedom to customize these extensions however you like - whether you want them straight, curly, just for added length, or density.
You can choose the amount of hair and packs you want, catering to your specific needs. For example, if you want to add a bit of length and volume, you can opt for 150 pieces. But if you're looking for a thick ponytail or an up-and-down look, 300 pieces (six packs of hair) would be the ideal choice. You can learn more about micro link hair extensions in our blog.
Common Questions About I-Tip Hair Extensions
Are Micro Link Hair Extensions Damaging to Hair?
Good news! When installed by a skilled hair professional, microlink hair extensions using I-tips are not damaging to your hair.
Installation and Maintenance of I-tip Hair Extensions
While these lightweight hair extensions are easy to install by a certified hair professional, they can be reused as well. If you decide to purchase SL Raw Virgin Hair's I-tip hair extensions from the textured collection, you'll find that you can also install these using fusions. However, to maintain healthy hair care practices, we recommend avoiding heat and any permanent attachment to the hair.
Can You Color Your Micro Link Hair Extensions?
At SL Raw Virgin Hair, you have the freedom to custom color your I-tip hair extensions. Just remember to do a strand test before each color application, and always follow the care instructions included with your order.
What Type of Hair Textures Do I-Tip Hair Extensions Come In?

The Benefits of MicroLink Hair Extensions
One of the significant advantages of microlink hair extensions using I-tips is their longevity. Unlike sew-ins, which typically last about 2 to 2.5 months, microlink hair extensions can last anywhere between 4 to 5 months. Plus, you can reuse them as long as you take care of your extensions and follow instructions.
Preparing for Your MicroLink Hair Extensions
Before installing your microlink hair extensions, we always recommend starting with clean hair. If you have natural hair and are using our textured hair collection, ensure your hair is clean, void of heavy oils, and thoroughly blown out or silk-pressed.
Investing in I-Tip Hair Extensions
Considering the luxury and convenience offered by I-tip hair extensions, the investment is worthwhile. The cost of the service can range between $1200-$2000, depending on your location and your hairstylist's skill level. In fact, we've even heard reports of hairstylists in the Malibu, CA area charging as much as $3500 for these extensions.
Regardless of your reasons, hair extensions offer an exciting way to change your look without committing to a permanent change. Hair extensions, especially I-tip hair extensions, can be a long-lasting, reusable, and customizable option for anyone looking to experiment with their look. Finally, always remember to opt for a certified and trained professional for the installation of your hair extensions, to ensure the health of your hair is maintained.
