Maintenance For Micro Ring Hair Extensions!
Maintain Your Micro Ring Hair Extensions
Your micro ring hair extensions (also called micro link hair extensions, micro loop hair extensions and micro bead hair extensions) can last for several months. How long they last is in part down to how they are treated or rather, how you maintain them.
Whilst the appeal of micro ring extensions is that they are part of the group of extensions that don’t require glue or heat to be fitted, they do require extra time to be cared for properly.
The fact of the matter is, if you choose micro loop hair extensions you have to be prepared to spend a little extra time styling and washing your micro link hair extensions. Heat styling micro link hair extensions should also be kept to a minimum and done with the use of thermal protection serums.
Let’s face it, if you’ve spent all that time and money getting micro ring extensions, then it’s worth spending the extra time to make sure you prolong their use; look after your hair extensions and they’ll make you look good.
Who Can Wear Micro Ring Extensions?
