BEGINNER QUESTIONS
FAQ's
Answers to common questions women ask before choosing their first hair extension method.
What are I-Tip hair extensions?
I-Tip hair extensions are individual strand extensions with a small tip at the top. They are commonly used for microlink services and can add fullness, length, and natural movement without glue during a microlink install.
What are microlink hair extensions?
Microlink hair extensions are a professional strand-by-strand method where I-Tip extensions are attached using small beads. This method does not require glue or heat during application and is best installed and maintained by a trained stylist.
Do hair extensions damage your hair?
Hair extensions should not damage your hair when the method, weight, installation, and maintenance are right for your natural hair. Damage can happen if extensions are too tight, too heavy, neglected, or removed improperly, which is why professional installation and proper care matter.
How long does my hair have to be to wear hair extensions?
For most extension methods, your natural hair should be at least 4 to 5 inches long so the extensions can blend and anchor properly. If your hair is shorter, a wig or a custom recommendation may be a better starting point.
How long do hair extensions last?
Wear time depends on the extension method, your lifestyle, your stylist’s installation, and your maintenance routine. Many professional installs require maintenance every few weeks, while premium human hair can often be reused with proper care.
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!
