Tiny beads used in microbead hair extensions

Microbeading uses a small bead to attach the hair extensions to your head.  The bead is incredibly small and incredibly light. I think it weighs something around 0.0001101 pounds. There are two types of hair used in this method: loop extension and i-tip extension. This method lengthens and adds volume to your hair in the most natural way. This micro-bead technology is probably what is responsible for making hair extensions more mainstream.

The links are applied to the root of the hair. There is no adhesive, sewing, braiding or heat needed, and absolutely no one can tell that you are wearing extensions! For all these reasons, microbead hair extensions are becoming increasingly popular. Just imagine with no use of glue and no heat needed, this method is a lot less likely to damage your hair.

What is so great about this technology is how versatile microbeads are. It doesn’t feel like something foreign is attached to your head; you can shower and wash your hair just the same as you would with your natural hair. Microbead extensions also do not restrict the growth of your natural hair. This makes it a great option for those of you who are tired of your short hair and want to get a new long hair style, all while simultaneously growing out your hair.

Another great advantage to this method of hair extension is you, or your friend, can actually affix the extensions yourself. It’s pretty simple. First you slide the bead onto your hair, using a piece of hair that is the same thickness as the bead. Next up, insert the hair extension tip into the bead, and then clamp the bead shut. That’s it! Make sure your hair is tangle free, of course, before attempting to attach these extensions.

So, how much do Microbead hair extensions cost?

With all these benefits, microbead hair extensions cost more than other types of extensions. Expect to pay anywhere from $240 to $1600 for your entire head.
