Micro ring hair extensions, also known as micro loop or micro bead extensions, are a popular semi-permanent method used to add length, volume, and fullness to natural hair. They involve attaching small wefts or strands of extension hair to your own hair using tiny, silicone-lined metal rings—completely free of glue, heat, or chemicals.
The process begins by threading a small section of your natural hair through a micro ring, then inserting the extension strand into the same ring. The ring is then clamped tightly using a special tool to hold both hairs in place. This technique is safe and non-invasive, making it a great option for people concerned about hair damage.
Micro ring extensions are loved for their natural look and flexibility. Since they don’t use any adhesives, they are less damaging than glue-based methods and can be reused multiple times. They also move naturally with your hair, making them almost undetectable when applied properly. Best of all, they can be adjusted or repositioned as your hair grows.
This method works best for people with medium to thick hair, as finer hair might not hold the rings as securely. They’re ideal for clients seeking a long-term solution that doesn’t require frequent salon visits. With proper care, micro ring extensions can last up to 8–12 weeks before needing maintenance.
