FAQ's

What are i-tip hair extensions?

I-tip hair extensions are tiny strands of extensions which are the perfect choice for a micro-link service. Commonly referred to as hair link, tips/fusion hair or simply keratin tips, these small yet powerful elements contain pre-glued keratin at their tip in much the same way that a shoelace's end is narrowed - except with delicate hairs instead! With I-tips you can enjoy both fusion and micro link services safely and efficiently. I-tip hair extensions are the perfect solution for those who are looking to get fuller hair and longer hair, with semi-permanent benefits. 

What is microlink hair extensions?

Micro links are a strand-by-strand hair extension technique that uses stick I-tip hair exensions and small micro-beads to complete the application. These links latch onto natural hair so there's less rigid movement, creating a more natural-looking effect. There's no tension or harsh chemicals required for installation - just comfort and convenience. Micro links are an incredibly safe option to enhance your appearance like never before.

Do hair extensions damage your hair?

When hair extensions are applied by a trained salon professional, they can be absolutely risk-free and not damage your existing tresses. But, it is essential that you follow the necessary steps for proper upkeep of your mane so as to maintain healthy hair growth at all times.

If I have curly hair, can I still wear microlink hair extensions?

Yes, if you have curly hair you can still wear microlink hair extensions. Even if you have curly hair, microlink extensions can still be worn for added volume and length. You can also style the hair into gorgeous curls and waves with the help of hot tools or rods. Check out this incredibly helpful blog post for tips on how to blend them with your hair!

Opting to air dry your hair with i-tip extensions overnight in twist-outs or braids can provide you with beautiful, beachy waves in the morning. Not only that but experimenting with different rod curlers is also possible without having to purchase multiple curling irons! 

How long does my hair have to be to wear hair extensions?

We recommend your hair should be at least 4-5 inches in length for the most effective results. This means that it must reach slightly below your earlobe to allow for extensions to blend seamlessly with your natural look. If you have shorter hair than this, then hiding extensions can become an issue and compromise a flawless finish.
