What Are Microlink Hair Extensions?Updated 9 hours ago

Microlink hair extensions—also known as microbead or micro-loop extensions—are a strand-by-strand method that attaches individual hair strands using tiny, copper or silicone-lined beads instead of glue or thread.

Each microlink is clamped securely to your natural hair, allowing for flexible movement, seamless blending, and low-tension wear that doesn't require braids or chemicals. This makes microlinks a popular choice for women seeking a natural, lightweight extension method that allows full access to the scalp for washing and styling.

How Do Microlink Extensions Work?
