MICRO BEAD SEW-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS (NO BRAIDS)
​
is the method in which beads are attached to the client’s natural hair. The hair extensions are then sewn to the beads. This can be used with hand-tied wefts, machine wefts or flat wefts. In some cases, you can find machine and flat wefts with the beads already attached. Typical maintenance is about every 6 -7 weeks alternating between maintenance appointments and full re-installment.
TAPE-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS
​
come in different sizes. The most common being 1-inch wide all the way to a roll, like how weft hair extensions come. These can also be customized to smaller sizes. These extensions typically are a medical grade adhesive that is attached by sandwiching two pieces together with the client’s hair in the middle.
KERATIN-TIP HAIR EXTENSIONS
are also a strand by strand method. The shape of the tip may vary from a Flat-Tip or a “U” also known as a Nail-Tip. The keratin is emulsified with a low heat keratin gun and molded to the client’s natural hair. This is also classified as a permanent hair extension method. Keratin-Tips can also be customized into smaller sizes. The difference between the two main permanent extensions is that there is no maintenance appointment with the Kertain-Tip hair extensions
MICROLINK HAIR EXTENSIONS
​
is a method that can only be done with traditional machine wefts. Natural hair is pulled in between the weft while simultaneously sliding a bead up to the root then securing. Maintenance and re-installment appointments are the same as the microbead. Depending on the client's hair texture and density, the maintenance varies from 6-8 weeks.
V LIGHT HAIR EXTENSIONS
​
offers two options of both tape and a liquid adhesive, to act alone or as a team in a dual approach that enhances stability. V-Light goes beyond by enabling the adhesive and tape to cure simultaneously with UV LED light. This groundbreaking method enables precise placement near the crown and hair line are, making it an ideal solution for fine hair clients or fine areas of the scalp with the bonus of a faster application.

MICROLOOP HAIR EXTENSIONS
​
get their name because the application is done by using the attached loop to insert the client's hair into the center of the hair extension and then they are secured shut. Just like I-Tips, they are a reusable strand by strand method. Some manufacturers may also refer to MicroLoops as cylinder or nano hair extensions.
