Advantages Of Micro Loop Hair Extensions

The micro loop hair extension is the newest addition to hair extension and hair weave products. These extension strands are attached to the natural hair via micro loop hair extension that secure each strand. Micro hair extension strands are attached at about a distance of 0.4 inches from the scalp.

This type of extension does not need any adhesives or glue to attach to the hair thus preventing hair damage and scalp irritation. Also, since no adhesives are used there is no need to iron the extensions thus maintaining the integrity of the natural hair is preserved.

Most of the time, attaching micro loop hair extensions are left to the stylists. Others though prefer to do it themselves but doing so may result in uneven or crooked rows of hair extensions.

Stylist ensure that extension strands are attached via straight sections. They begin first at a single section and using a comb ensures that the line or row of hair is straight. The stylist begins by getting a small section of hair, twisting it and putting it through the plastic loop of the hair extension. The stylist then pulls the plastic loop tab until the natural hair is threaded and free from the micro bead. Afterwards, the extension hair strands are pulled towards the scalp while clamping down the beads with a pair of pliers. The stylist then moves to another section and carefully attaches each row making sure everything is aligned and even.

Micro loop extension hair requires the same care as that of natural hair. They should be cleaned with shampoo and conditioned for proper moisture. Without proper moisture from conditioning, hair extensions have the tendency to become dry, matted and lifeless. Regular cleaning, combing and moisturizing is important – basic hair hygiene. Usually stylists require hair to be at least 3 to 4 inches before micro loop extensions can be attached.

What’s good about hair extensions is that they can be styled without damaging the natural hair. With normal styling processes, the hair gets dry, frizzy and brittle because the nutrients are all drained plus the strands get damaged. Plus, hair extensions cost a lot less than natural hair styling and treatments.
