Adding Length the DIY Way with Micro Loop Hair Extensions

Micro loop hair extensions lengthen your locks without heat or destructive glues and bonds. They're made of 100% human hair, so they give you a natural aesthetic that's easy to maintain. Simply source your extensions on eBay and then care for them as you would your own tresses.

If you're wondering how to apply micro loop hair extensions yourself, you'll find the process straightforward. When you buy micro loop hair extensions 200 strands will cover a full head of thick hair, while a hundred is usually sufficient for thinner locks. Here's how to apply them:

• Straighten your hair and pin away all but the section you want to work on.
• Feed 15 strands through the loop of your nano ring hair extensions.
• Pull your hair through the loop and bead until the segment is half an inch below your hairline.
• Clamp the ring with pliers to secure it, then crimp both ends.
• Each bundle should be about half an inch apart. Your front hairline should be free of extensions to hide their bonds.
• Continue to attach your extensions in layers until you get to the crown.

When you buy micro ring hair extensions, you'll be able to maintain them far longer than you can bonded alternatives. You can adjust them monthly to accommodate your hair growth. The ring can be opened with the help of pliers, so all you need to do is slide the strip towards your scalp and realign the bead. Wash your extensions as you would your own hair and brush them with a wide-toothed comb, taking care not pull at the bonds.

Your extensions should match the texture of your own hair in order to achieve a natural look. You can use them to create highlights or accents, but your colour should match your skin tone. Not everyone can pull off grey micro loop hair extensions. If your skin and eyes have a light tone, a dark colour will suit you best. Rosy skins suit warm colours, such as red, brown, and honey tones. Warm, light colouring can carry off almost any colour.

Tape extensions are the fastest to apply, but they only last about five weeks. In contrast, micro ring extensions last months if they're maintained. Your hair must be longer than your jawline, so shorter locks require bonded alternatives.
