You are literally the only person that has actually shown how to install micro links. Everyone else literally edits around the install or their hands cover the process.
I am a beauty supply store owner in Frederick Maryland. I've been here over 33 years, & in the industry for over 45 years now. As you can imagine, I've experienced a lot of different trends over the years. I just want to say how impressed I am with your whole presentation, & your MAD skills. You make it look so easy. In this day & age when ANYONE can post ANYTHING, it's impressive to see such a well produced video lesson such as yours. You speak with obvious experience, knowledge, clarity & self assuredness. It's refreshing to see, & a pleasure to watch & learn from. Keep up the great work Teresa. You should be proud of your work. You're a real pro! Cheers, David
I do this hair professionally, and I always tell my clients do NOT put your hair up until a week AFTER you've had them done. Otherwise they look good! I always do my own also.
Evelyn Ibrahim yes you can, however it is imperative to blow dry your hair - if you air dry your natural hair may tangle with the micro link and your hair could break off as a result. Hope this helped
Question how can you tighten up when its time to get a touch up ? Also how can I reuse the hair ? And lastly what is a good keep up for it when doing it myself ?
@@TeresaMichele girl I know I’m a year late with the update. Lol. I did these on myself for the past year, but it got time consuming and there are certain techniques to placing the extensions that are much better done by trained stylist. So now I just have them professionally done. It’s much more expensive, but the time(and sore arms) I save valuable. Time is money after all🤷🏽♀️
After watching other videos to apply micro beads, I got intimated and stayed with tape. Literally after watching your video, I went out and purchased all the products to install my own micro beads. Thank you for breaking the steps down for us DIY'ers.
GREAT JOB... THANKS! I am going to try installing these myself for the first time, hoping it goes well and your video really helped. Tired of spending 300.00 to 500.00 every 6 months for someone else to do and 150.00 every 6 weeks to have them lifted. Wish me luck.
You make this part look so easy! Girl, it kills my chunky arms doin the back myself.lol But for the making part, get a was melter! You can plop a few beads of glue in and leave em and just dip your hair pieces in one after another. I get that part done so quick. its the installation on myself thatl kill me.lol i have the actual glue heater that i bought at sallys and still haven't opened it (its been a year!) because the wax melter works just fine.lol tfs! subbed!
This was amazing to watch and you are beautiful. You are DIY inspiration!! Can you please share how many bundles you used to make the micro hair links and how long this took you. Thank you!!
Angela Jackson Thank you! Sorry for the late reply. I used 2 bundles to make the extensions and I used 157 extension pieces in my hair. This took me about 2 1/2 hours I think.
Thank you so much for doing this. Because the hands are always in the way I could never see how go vet the bead into. Plus I can use my crochet hook to slide the bead on. Thank you soooo much.
You did a fantastic job explaining and showing. I wonder if I can do this to my thin hair? I'm doing part one with the I tips. Thank You so much. Your hair and makeup looks fantastic :-)
Annie Lee Thank you! I have a friend that has thin hair and we just don’t go up that far in her hair so that her hair covers the beads better. You can still kinda see the beads on the side though if it’s not covered well and hairsprayed and or teased.
How many strands did u use?? Did you leave hair out on the sides so u could put ur hair in a high pony?? Oh also can u show how you do the retighten pleasw
Hey I have a question. Im going to be doing my own extensions and I've been looking at how to videos. Alot of the videos say to leave a layer of hair inbetween the row of beads as it creates a bump. I have super thick hair and need to get in as many as I can, I was going to not leave any spaces, but now I'm wondering if i should so I dont get any bumps. What do you think?
Teresa, how many bundles did you use? How many rows? I know it varies according to the size of your hair but I am about to do my mine and I want to know how long this will kind of take me.
Kayla b Bones Hello, the outside of the ones I used was metal and there was silicone in the inner part. The silicone is supposed to help prevent breakage.
I used to do it when i was a teenager (I’m 30) i was still living at home so i would get the beads and the hair would be regular tracks i cut the tracks and then used the hair glue on a little amount of hair roll it let it dry then use a string that i tied in a loop the put my hair through the string and then the fake hair and use my dad pliers lmbo i would move them around depending on hair style and no one ever knew i have the pictures still lmbo i was a kid y’all don’t get on me
Miz300zx my website is under construction right now, but you can send me an email of what you want and I’ll give you pricing and I can ship it to you. I used 2 bundles for this. My email address is teresamichele007@gmail.com. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Am so confused I-Tip, K-Tip, Flat-Tip, Stick-Tip extensions , are all these in general Micro-Links, like the umbrella name is Micto-Links , only called different names in different places , or these Tip extensions are completely different ?🇿🇦🇿🇦
Passports 2 Fitness I’m sooo sorry. I am updating my website. You can email me in the meantime with the hair you would like. My website should be up next month. My email address is teresamichele007@gmail.com.
The link to the hair doesn’t work. Please update us! And what about if u want textures like a water wave. Also, how did I make the i tips? I kno u cut them off the west but how did u bond the bar together? What can last wash after wash? How many times can you install them? So many questions!! Lol thanks for sharing
Hi! I am soooo sorry about the link to the hair. I am currently redoing my website right now. You can email me at teresamichele007@gmail.com regarding the hair. My website should be up next month. I will update you all once it it up and running. You can use any texture of hair to make these. Here is the link to my video where I show you how to make them: th-cam.com/video/oe9fwFS4qSY/w-d-xo.html I used keratin beads to bond the hair together. You can wash the hair over and over again while it is installed or while it is out. You can install them several times. The hair will last over a year. I have had mine for years. You will need to retouch the glue tips by either heating the tip back up and rolling it or adding more glue to it all together. I hope that answered all of your questions. LOL!!!
Do you still wear your hair like this? I want to do it but not sure how long I should wait? And I want to relax my natural hair for this. But love this idea better then wigs and sew ins. How do you keep them up? Can I use leave in conditioner
ladydede88 ladydede88 I haven’t in a while because I am trying new hairstyles, but I would definitely do it again. Some people just loosen the beads and slide them up so they are re-tightened. I just take them out and do them again. I think it’s all about the texture of your hair and how long you let them grow out. You can use leave in conditioner for this. I probably wouldn’t apply a lot to the roots to avoid them slipping off earlier than you would like.
ThatCamaroChik Hello, 1. They hold well. 2. They are 5mm silicone micro beads. Here is a link to where you can get them: amzn.to/39bhuRJ 3. The silicone inside the bead is supposed to protect your hair more from breakage.
Are you clamping them straight out? You need to make sure you are clamping them with the tool angling down. The clamp should be touching your head if that makes sense.
Vivian Allen Mine didn’t. It depends on how you install them though. If you push the hair too far up in the bead then the top of the hair will poke your scalp and that will hurt. You will find this out when you install them though. If you put the I tip in and move it up and down, you will know if you have this problem and you can remove it and reinstall it then.
Teresa Clay Oh, sorry about that. I am working on my website. Were you interested in purchasing hair? I’ll be updating my website soon. I’ll respond once it’s up and running.
Shia I honestly don’t know. I never counted. I think I did about 9-10 rows. I did maybe 20 - 25 at the most in one row (the middle of my head and around the top). I used the same amount of beads as I did I tips. Sorry I don’t have a definitive number for you.
You are literally the only person that has actually shown how to install micro links. Everyone else literally edits around the install or their hands cover the process.
I've done exactly what you did. Bought and made all my tips. Been installing, dying and styling it since December and I regret NOTHING!
That’s awesome!!! I’m glad this video helped you!! 😁

Jessica Francis you're welcome!! I'm glad you can do it now!! 😁
Hi how long did this last & did u get any shedding ? X
i like the latch method rather than the other tool. much easier. Thank you
Thank you so much for doing this. Because the hands are always in the way I could never see how go vet the bead into. Plus I can use my crochet hook to slide the bead on. Thank you soooo much.
Glad it was helpful!

Annie Lee Thank you! I have a friend that has thin hair and we just don’t go up that far in her hair so that her hair covers the beads better. You can still kinda see the beads on the side though if it’s not covered well and hairsprayed and or teased.
I love how simple yet detailed your videos are
Ryan Thank you!!! 😁
I am growing out my pixie and my hair is like four inches at the top. How did you do the top for your part and stuff 🥲 I miss having hair

Did you leave hair out on the sides so u could put ur hair in a high pony??
Oh also can u show how you do the retighten pleasw
Can anyone tell me how comfortable these are ? Are they painful for tender heads? Thanks
They are comfortable so long as they are not put on too tight and the tip isn’t poking out of the top of the bead.
Where do you get your bundles
You made this look so easy. I can’t wait to try it!!!
This was really great
Hey I have a question. Im going to be doing my own extensions and I've been looking at how to videos. Alot of the videos say to leave a layer of hair inbetween the row of beads as it creates a bump. I have super thick hair and need to get in as many as I can, I was going to not leave any spaces, but now I'm wondering if i should so I dont get any bumps. What do you think?
I think it’ll be fine to not leave spaces.
I used this technique to add on a loc that broke off.
D. White Oh that’s awesome!
Very good tutorial! You are so pretty 😍
Sss H Thank you 😊
@Teresa Michele do i need to be regularly relaxed inorder for this to work I'm one of those texlaxed girls
Hi. No, you don’t. This will work 😊
No
could you tell me the mm of the micro beads? great work btw
You: When you go take your hair down?
Me: NEVER!! 😆
Period 😂😂
How many bundles would you recommend on short hair(collar bone length).
I would recommend 2 bundles
Teresa, how many bundles did you use? How many rows? I know it varies according to the size of your hair but I am about to do my mine and I want to know how long this will kind of take me.
Vivian Allen I saw in the comments that she used two bundles and it took her two hours. & about 9-10 rows.
@@thedejahdenise Thank you, I have purchased all the stuff, made my own hair and installed it.
I used about 2 - 2 1/2 bundles. It took me about an hour and a half.

Are the micro rings supposed to be hard plastic? Or are they supposed to be soft silicone texture

I have a few questions.
●How well do these hold?
●What mm of micro beads?
●Do the micro beads with the rubber liner inside them hold better?
ThatCamaroChik
Hello,
1. They hold well.
2. They are 5mm silicone micro beads. Here is a link to where you can get them: amzn.to/39bhuRJ
3. The silicone inside the bead is supposed to protect your hair more from breakage.
I'm definitely going to figure out how to do this even if my mom have to help me so I can start wearing my real hair
charleus5281 Yeah girl! Do it. Just be careful when taking them out. They should just slide off your hair, you shouldn’t have to tug at it. 😊
I’m doing these on my hair now 😩 what is causing my hair extension to stick out ?
Are you clamping them straight out? You need to make sure you are clamping them with the tool angling down. The clamp should be touching your head if that makes sense.
See 2:13 in the video.
Thank you sm girll 💕
@@jewlzzxo2048 You’re welcome! ☺️
About how many extensions did it take to do your full head?
Kelsey Edwards I am not sure. I used 2 bundles of hair weave and cut the hair off the weft and made the extensions.
I loveeee your video...how many packs is needed
Thanks!! 2 - 2 1/2 packs of hair 😊
thank u for your quick response. I'm ordering now. lolllll
only thing...I cut all my hair off...its short hopefully it'll look good like yours.😘😘
It'll look good. You probably don't need to take it up as high.
You're welcome!! Okay cool!! 😁
How much do you think that you saved by making your own extensions? I know that you must have saved a lot on the install.
Hi great job👍
Luisa V. Thank you!!
What is the length and how many grams
Gennesie De Dios 30” and I don’t know the amount of grams. I used 157 pieces in my hair.
How long does it last??
Jessika Reyes It lasted me about a month.
@@TeresaMichele do you use the same hair when you redo it? Just new beads?
How many peices would I need to do my whole head?
Kamryn Stargell I used 157 pieces.
Wow! Your way is much much easier
how many rolls did you do?
UrbanTrademark I think I did about 9-10 rows.
Do these hurt while you sleep? Are they uncomfortable in anyway?
