Micro loop hair extensions, also known as micro ring or micro bead extensions are basically distinct sections of real hair with plastic hooks at the root. These types of hair extensions are a popular choice among those looking for a long-term solution to provide length, thickness, volume, texture and add colour to their hair.<\/p>\n

They come in varying lengths and shades and are suitable for all hair types. They are secured to your natural hair with the help of a small loop or ring that is slipped up the strands of your hair until it is very close to the scalp. The loop is then pressed close, securing the extension to your hair without the need for adhesive, glue, heat or solvent.<\/p>\n

The result is extremely secure, non-damaging, natural-looking and enduring hair. This type of hair extensions are considered to be the best form of extensions. They look natural even in the finest hair.<\/p>\n

They are also particularly long-lasting and usually last 4 to 6 months without needing any maintenance. Best of all, they can be fitted to hair as short as 4 inches. Read on to learn more in our comprehensive micro loop hair extensions review.<\/p>\n

How long does it take to fit micro loop extensions?<\/h2>\n

A full head of micro loop hair extensions can be fitted in approximately 1 to 2 hours. Keep in mind that other hair extensions can take up to 5 hours to attach. So you can see how efficient micro loop extensions can be as they are far much quicker and cost less.<\/p>\n

It might be tempting to try and cut the costs by fitting the extensions by yourself at home. After all, the extensions cost upwards of \u00a3500. If you think you can fit the extensions on your own, go ahead.<\/p>\n

However, for you to get the best results and achieve longevity while avoiding unnecessary damage to your hair, you should consider going to a professional salon. A qualified stylist will use their experience to ensure you get correct positioning. Getting the right positioning will ensure the extensions last the longest possible time.<\/p>\n

How long do micro loop hair extensions last?<\/h2>\n

With the right maintenance, micro loop hair extensions can last from 4 to 6 months. Natural hair has oil from the scalp that keeps it soft, supple and healthy. Extensions do not have this, so you must moisturise as often as possible for longer lasting extensions. Basically, how long your micro loop extensions last has a lot to do with how they are washed, dried, moisturised and combed.<\/p>\n

How much do they cost?<\/h2>\n

A full head of hair starts from approximately \u00a3500 depending on the amount and length of extensions required.<\/p>\n

How to properly maintain your extensions<\/h2>\n

Micro loop hair extensions, regardless of how well they are fitted or how fine the quality of the extensions are, still require proper maintenance so that they can last 4 months and beyond. As you can see, they are quite expensive, so you\u2019ll naturally want to ensure you take every measure to preserve their appearance and longevity.<\/p>\n

We suggest a 5 to 6-week salon maintenance appointment. This is because new hair continually grows and part of the salon maintenance process is to open the loops, comb out any loose hair, then re-position the loop closer to the scalp approximately 1cm from the root of your hair. Salon maintenance takes about 30 minutes and starts from \u00a350.<\/p>\n

The time required will depend on how well you have maintained the extensions. Here are some ways to properly maintain your micro loop hair extensions:<\/p>\n
