What Are the Benefits of Microlink Hair Installs?Updated 5 days ago

Microlink extensions are a go-to for women who want natural movement, volume, and flexibility—without the bulk of braids or glue. Unlike sew-ins or wigs, microlinks are installed strand-by-strand using small beads, allowing your own hair to remain mostly free and breathable.

Whether you’re wearing curly textures, sleek I-Tips, or blending with your natural locs, here are the top reasons microlinks are worth it:


1. Undetectable, Natural-Looking Results

Microlinks blend seamlessly with your real hair because each extension is attached individually. There are no bulky tracks, no visible wefts, and no lace to hide. The result? Extensions that mimic your own natural volume and flow—even in high ponytails or half-up styles.

2. Reusable for Multiple Installs

When properly removed and maintained, microlinks can be reused up to 3+ times. That means more value per bundle and less frequent buying. Our Raw Indian I-Tips and Curly Microlinks are designed to withstand professional reinstallations with minimal shedding or matting.


3. No Glue, Thread, or Braids

Microlinks don’t require braiding your natural hair or applying adhesives. That means:

  • No tension on the scalp

  • No heat or chemicals

  • Easy access to your scalp for cleansing

  • Less long-term breakage or buildup


4. Long-Lasting but Lightweight

Microlinks typically last 8 to 12 weeks per install, depending on your hair texture, maintenance routine, and growth cycle. And because they’re lightweight and move like your own hair, they’re more comfortable than traditional methods for daily wear.

Tip: Re-tightening around weeks 4–5 can help maintain a fuller look between installs.


5. Versatile Styling for Professionals & Everyday Wear

From boardroom styles to date-night curls, microlinks offer styling versatility without compromising your real hair’s health. Many stylists love them for:

  • Blending with relaxed or pressed hair

  • Creating volume at the crown

  • Custom parting flexibility

  • Layered, movement-rich styles


Once installed, microlinks can last up to 3-5 months—depending on your hair growth cycle and how well you maintain them—before being professionally removed and reapplied.
