According to a poll conducted by online hair and beauty expert Hairtrade.com, 38% of women use hair extensions as part of their beauty routine. The growing popularity of the hair extension industry has made getting quality extensions more affordable and has led to more innovative methods of installing hair extensions. With techniques ranging from keratin extensions, wefted extensions, and microbeaded extensions, many people may not know which option they prefer. If you are looking to try extensions for the first time, or if you’re curious about trying a new technique, microbeaded extensions may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Check out these four benefits this technique has to offer, and decide for yourself if microbead is the hair extension you’ve been searching for.

No Heat, No Problem

Unlike keratin extensions, the microbead technique does not use heat to attach the extensions to your hair. Heat can cause irreversible damage to your hair by making your luscious locks dry, brittle, and dull-looking. So why stress when you can avoid the mess altogether?

Avoid a sticky situation

The microbead technique secures the extension by squeezing micro rings into your natural hair. The adhesives used in tape-in extensions can weaken your hair and restrict your lifestyle since you cannot wash this type of extension for up to 48 hours after application. Tape-in hair extensions are also not recommended for women with thin or medium hair, whereas microbeaded extensions can add length and fullness to all hair types.

Perfect For Any Occasion

In addition to keeping your hair healthier, the microbead extension is more adjustable and doesn’t steal your hair’s natural bounce. The lack of adhesive also means you don’t need to change your styling routine. Keratin and tape-in extensions restrict you from applying heat near the bond site as you could potentially undo your extension. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, consider talking to your stylist about getting microbeaded ombré extensions for a stylish look with minimal effort.

Spend Less, Get More

Not only are microbead extensions generally cheaper than other types of extensions, but they can also be uncrimped and reused. These extensions can last longer than other types of hair extensions because they are more durable. This also means it is easier dye a microbead extension, and easier to maintain the health of the extension hair.

Final Thoughts

Microbeaded extensions are perfect for anyone looking to add volume and length to their hair. These non damaging extensions are affordable, reusable, safe, and easy to install or remove. Satisfy your curiosity and ask your stylist if this hair extension technique is right for you.
