Hair Extensions Part 2 (Metal Coil or Micro Rings Ext)

Micro Rings (Micro Loops)

Micro rings or micro loop hair extensions use small 

metal rings (usually 

aluminium) lined with silicone 

with the extension hair

 attached. They are fixed to 

small sections of natural hair

 and tightened using a 

special tool that clamps the 

loop around the natural hair. 

The micro loops are designed to be small enough so that they are not visible in normal use. They need re-positioning every 3 to 4 months as the natural hair grows and the micro rings move away from the scalp. One advantage to micro rings is a lower overall cost. Although the cost of the hair extensions is similar or slightly higher, they can generally be fitted in around half the time of sewn or glued/bonded hair extensions, reducing hairdresser costs.

As they do not use heat or adhesives, these hair extensions should cause less damage than 

some types. However some users report that the micro rings themselves can be uncomfortable, 

especially when sleeping, as they press into the scalp. 




Sometimes, its only the metal coil alone and 

without the silicone. I do not personally recommend this 

type of extension since it  damages the hair and scalp after

several weeks. It's only good for short term use.

Furthermore,

it would just prevent you from growing your hair faster.
