I used to do these 10 years ago. Be aware there are MANY different types of links sold, some are just copper links with no coating on the inside. You can also get different lengths of the links. Depending on how you treat them, or where you get them, the powder coat can come off the outside. DO NOT OVER CRIMP - it cracks the coating and makes it harder to open the link up again. If you are doing it on yourself, something I did for a few years, do a few test links first and wear then for a couple days using different amounts of hair and link type. Wash your hair. See what is holding best without twisting around at the root or sliding off easily. It would be mortifying for you to spend a day on your hair only to have it slide right off. Also you probably need a three way mirror to do your own hair. Having friends who know hair is great. Unfortunately I was that friend, and what I thought was common sense, apparently wasn’t as easy to grasp for others. So I figured out how to do my own.
Okay this is the comment of the day!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing what you know & Thank you for your advice and expertise !! Now I know for next time ❤️❤️❤️
You did a great down2earth Presentation. You stayed on point yet , flowingly entertaining .I thank you for sharing the knowledge. As they say... " Each One Teach One " And that you did.B Well
DO NOT PUT YOUR HAIR IN A PONYTAIL DIRECTLY AFTER , forgot to mention in video !!! HOPE YALL LOVE THIS VIDEO ! Share what you know about microlinks !! Let’s help each other Simmas! ❤️
I'm glad you put in the disclaimers . It's a great way to add length and volume, but I dont think most realize white ppl was doing this a decade ago, and stopped due to the risk of breakage. For some reason I just started seeing this on youtube on black women in the last 2 years. It's a great style when done safely with a professional.
Black women have been getting these for years too Janet Jackson and other celebrities for example also in illinois I had these when I was a teenager off and on. Now though you have to make sure they know what they're doing before paying that price. Make sure they know the difference between itips and microlinks. Itips cost like 1200 here in illinois and microlinks like 235
Yes because I kept asking different people about them but when I first heard about them it was like 2010-2011 and I thought they were called Eurolinks... no one, not even the black stylists I asked knew what I was talking about! I
Wigs and weaves definitely pay off when maintained properly. You not only get fuller healthier hair but you graduate to the micro-link life 🙌🏾 ! Thanks for the upload! 😍
Wow this is totally awesome and looks beautiful and natural. Not wiggy, fake or unrealistic! My edges are a hot mess so I’m not sure I’m a candidate. But watching this video gets me motivated to get my hair in shape to be able to do something like this.
I have seen this type of adding in hair but only on white women and it is great to know we can get this for our hair to. Great video thank you for posting
I got this done to my hair 10 years ago and it came out beautifully. however, as Sharice noted it is very expensive. Back then I paid around 600.00, and it was worth it.
Your very welcome !! Yes a lot of white women did this so I never knew it would be okay for our hair type when I was younger and then it was so much money lol . But after much research and seeing these kinky textures I was BLOWN away , I mean wow. It’s so cool to have options ❤️ I love it
Scofields1828 It lasted for 3 months. I had it done in Maryland years ago. I don't remember the name of the place, but Black women a small amount were doing it back then.
I finally did mine and i love it! My hair is retaining length bc i can easily keep it moisturized. I had keratin glue extensions b4 and no matter how hard I tried, I would lose a lot of hair. I can keep the gunk out of my hair and slide that link up to keep everything fresh. I watch tv and tighten everything up. I used kinky straight hair and it has been amazing. I will use these forever
Came out beautiful. I've installed this technique into all textures of hair by track & individuals. It gives a person more flexibility with styling than the average sew-ins
Just came across this! I am pretty new to extensions. I’m a white girl born with stupid thin hair and when I learned about tape ins, I was all about it. With thin, fine hair, you have to be able to wash it at least twice a week! Anyways, my guy that does my tape ins suggested hand tied wefts across the back for me so, we tried them this time. I’m living so far! Anyways, I came across your video and wanted to watch to learn about this method too. All that to say... dang girl!!!! You are gorgeous!!!!
This video is FLAWLESS thanks so much for making this ! As a newly liscenced stylist I'm very interested in learning more popular hair extensions/ treatments for the ladies today ! You made this look so easy and I've been doing hair for awhile already. So thanks so much thisvgave me the confidence to keep learning new things
Talented family. Where have you guys been all my life? This family has been blessed with gifted hands. I cannot wait for you to do my hair. You guys are more talented than all the hair salons I have watched on youtube. I went as far as calling the salon where they showed your work looking for you.
We aren't really late. Some black women have been getting these done. I wanted to do these way back then but was told to stay away because they are damaging to kinky hair textures. So, I just went for sew-ins.
Not true. Black women have been wearing these FOR YEARS. Younger girls are just discovering them and posting them on social media. We didn’t talk about our hair extensions as openly. We just wanted it to look real and kept it moving. Girls now are more open and that really helps everyone when it’s done in a positive, informative way 💕
Actually I did it for black women from 2011 back in Cyprus and it was expensive then. We had other cheaper techniques that’s why we probably didn’t pay much attention to it.
These came out great 😍. I got these done years ago (when mostly yt people were doing it lol). The versatility is great, but tbh this isn’t a protective style at all lol. You still have to flat iron your hair and your hair is just mixed inbetween the weave it’s not braided or anything and because of our hair texture applying the bead and tip can be tricky especially if you aren’t being careful or trying to rush. This style can cause serious breakage.
You should go for it my teacher told my class it's like getting your eyelashes done once you start you can't stop I'm almost done school so I'll be getting one of my classmates to hopefully do an install for me as well for graduation day congratulations btw😄
WHITE women have been using these before BLACK women knew about weaves ...black MEN always DISRESPECTING BLACK women because of weaves and WHITE women been wearing FAKE HAIR FOR years 👀
I had this done many years ago. It's actually called strand by strand method. Though some do call it micro linked hair too. It was installed a little but differently. There was loose hair in between the parts, which is commonly how it's done. My natural hair was very long and the extra hair was 4 inches longer. So I was doing it more for volume. It came out well and looked extremely natural. However it does put a lot of stress on your natural hair. I ended up removing after two weeks because strangely I felt my scalp all the time. It took my hair a week to recover as the stylist told me the hair goes into shock. So I looked like I lost a lot of hair even though I actually didn't. I do know some women that did have it much longer and did loose some hair. I knew one woman that swore by them and seemed to be fine.
There’s a circle in the pliers used to smash the bead flat. The circle is to clamp the bead the opposite way and make it a circle again then you can slide it out of your hair
I wish that I knew a friend that did hair. You are a lucky one. I am that friend and everybody always wants to come to me to do their hair. She did a wonderful job.
My mother used to use these extensions more than 20yrs ago. I completely forgot about this technique. Your aunt did a wonderful job and hair looks beautiful. Do you have a link for the hair you purchased?
I did this 15 years ago. It looked great and natural but when I got it removed it damaged my hair. Just make sure the person knows what they are doing when they take it out.
@@charlettejeter583 I think the beautician was inexperienced. Also this thing clips onto the root of your real hair so I don’t see how it can be safely removed without damage but maybe with a skilled person it can be done. I think it’s better for people with thicker hair.
They're not supposed to clip onto the root of your real hair as that's what damages it. I used to have thick, thick, hair and unfortunately due to my lupus it's now brittle and fine. My hair lady installed these and for the first time my hair actually grew the microlinks in. She said it was because you're not supposed to install it further away from the root so that it doesn't pull. I think it really does depend on the knowledge and the experience of your stylist.
Hi! This video is lovely and gave so much wonderful information, but the title misled me a little! - I definitely watched for a long time hoping you were actually installing them yourself 😪 But an amazing job to your aunt! And I'm glad to have learned so much about this style!! Feels like something I might pick up learning how to do, especially if taking them out doesn't prove too difficult.
I l🥰ve this look on you! I’ve been wanting to try microlinks for a min now because ever since I went natural, sew in’s have my scalp on fire 🔥🔥😩. Definitely going to look into finding the right texture hair and materials to do this style. Great video! 🥰🥰
Wow I’ve never heard of this before! It does look like it would cause a lot of tension though, just like you said. I think I’d rather just wear a hd lace wig tbh
If you don't want to add heat or a little heat, then go with extentions that are your own texture, curly or kinky straight. If the hair is curly, then you should be able to put the links all the way to the top of your head. The links will be hidden by curls. Then all you'll have to do is wash and go. No heat! If you go with kinky straight, you can get away with a wash and blowout! Just keep up with your deep conditions, and always use the silicone lined micro links!
I worked at a high end extension store for 2 yrs (white people extensions) and my manager installed the i tips on me (for free) and now im jonesing to have them again! This time ill do a less silky texture i just need to find an affordable stylist 😌
I'm sooo in luv with this... Thank you 4 sharing. I've always wanted 2 know how they install the hair like this way back.. Now I know. Ur the bomb sis 😍😍😍💯
Never mind! I paused at the receipt! I thought 3 bundles would be enough and that’s what I saw!! Awesome! Last question, pls where did you get the beads from?
It looks great, your aunt did a great job. One suggestion, I would probably add a few layers, as you can see the hair strands look isolated towards the ends. Does that make sense? It hair strands look stringy or clumped together.
Hi Simone, Where did you buy the micro links and the pliers that you used to close it? I also love that hair. You and your family (Aunty) have very blessed 🙏🏽 🙌🏽 hands. Extremely talented. God bless you both.
Wow I don't know if I could do my own hair. This is different with a bead, Back in the day we used a plastic circle to protect & separate the hair, & put the wax link on.
My mom used to put these in my hair when I was in 6th grade. I’m 26 now 😂. Idk where she got the idea back then. But baby them thangs was haaarrddd to take out. I would literally have a few pieces in my hair months later lol. I’m also sure she ain’t know what she was doing for real.
That seems so cool and VERY interesting!!! Are these metal pieces? If we were to go thru the metal detector at the airport, would our heads light up like a Christmas Tree?? 😳😳😳 Highly curious! Lololol 😆
I had to get a cat scan or mri cant remember but they showed up all in the film😬😬😩 lol they had me take out my earring but i had to explain i had”metal pieces” in my hair😅 embarrasing. And almost made it come out inconclusive 😶
It won’t, I’ve been wearing both Microlinks and i-tips for years and never have had an issue traveling both domestic and international, the detectors have never went off:)
Hello, I hope you may be able to give me some good advice. I always wear my hair in braids and I am so tried of it. But I don’t like the natural look as well my hair is not that long so when I twisted up sometimes it’s really really short and it make me look like a boy sometimes I don’t like that. I have been considering the micro links because when I do my micro braids I like the feel of having human hair in my head and having it down and being able to style it anyway I would like to. My hair is really really soft however I feel I have a 4C hair so I want to know which micro links will really be best for me ? I really want to try and keep it natural I don’t really want color or anything like that I just want to stick to being natural as possible.
Can you feel them pretty good wien running ur hands thru the hair? Or is it almost non existent because they're very thin? If someone were to run their hand thru the hair but not really touching the root, should they feel them?
I've never really had edges, even since I was a toddler. It's some sort of hereditary dermatological issue. Tried everything practically. I recently went completely natural. Rn I have my mini fro and whatever edges I have I fluff out and it finally looks filled in... until it has to be slicked back. Hairstyles requiring minimal emphasis on edges is what I'm searching the net for today. Wigs drive me nuts, esp. lace front cause my edges even sweat a lot. Which is even more of an issue. I wish people didn't make fun of others hairlines. It literally came with my body and quit frankly don't really date anymore because people have high expectations to be able to "run their fingers through it." I'm finding men really do like the mini fro though but others will just look at me like I'm some sort of anomaly 🤷🏾♀️ I want extensions but my edges really can't take any extra wear and tear from manipulation, which doesn't take much for mine to start falling off **sigh**
Hey sweetie you sure keep this old girl on her toes 😜love the video would love to do this but have twa but looks so pretty on you. You almost at 300k . Got ants 🐜 in my 👖 gonna need to 💃🏽
I wouldn’t get these again like EVER. My hair mad curly. I can imagine the frustration of washing my hair but the wave straight now I’m trying to fight through straight weave and curly hair to straighten my hair. Even if I got naturally curly hair that’d still be too much
Is there a reason she put the itips on top of your hair? Do you think it would look better if the Itip is inserted in the bead under the real hair? Also I am looking to purchase the itips from studio Techilo in the Indian texture wave I have natraul hair I am not sure if the curl but I really don’t have a curl it’s just a fro lol u less I have products on top of products in it. I am braider and I will be trying these for the first time my friend is a stylist and specialize in wigs/sewins and we are going to try it out but I have watched video after video if you have any tips please feel free to reply with them
I used to do this 20 years ago and used to pay a lot of money to have it done... Never again, the process causes damage... NO MATTER HOW WELL THEY ARE DONE. Say hello to hair damage ladies, I assure u u will meet it. Good luck 😂
So how does this work if your natural and u do the keratin treatment to straight your hair, once it’s time to wash you hair with this install what will happen to your natural hair
can you straighten the microlink like at the roots because i have natural hair but sometimes i’ll want to straighten my hair and i don’t know if i’ll be able to get to the root
There's one lady who does this in my city but when I asked her if she could do it on my natural hair, she said that I need to get a hair treatment to get my hair straight in order to do it. I didn't spend 7 years of growing my natural hair to get it straightened for this, what if I didn't like it?
Definitely not true lol. They have micro links in multiple textures now. I’ve seen kinky straight and kinky curly and of course the classic Brazilian wavy etc
I used to do these 10 years ago.
Be aware there are MANY different types of links sold, some are just copper links with no coating on the inside. You can also get different lengths of the links.
Depending on how you treat them, or where you get them, the powder coat can come off the outside. DO NOT OVER CRIMP - it cracks the coating and makes it harder to open the link up again.
If you are doing it on yourself, something I did for a few years, do a few test links first and wear then for a couple days using different amounts of hair and link type. Wash your hair. See what is holding best without twisting around at the root or sliding off easily.
It would be mortifying for you to spend a day on your hair only to have it slide right off.
Also you probably need a three way mirror to do your own hair.

As they say...

And that you did.B Well
SIMONESHARICE - anytime, I watched, liked and subscribed to a bunch more of your videos and you are truly beautiful, skilled and great to watch.
Niiiiiice!
Great advice..well done for taking on board girl...
I like how she went straight to the damn point!!
🙌🏿🙌🏿👏🏾👏🏾💃🏿💃🏿
I just love seeing mothers, aunts, sisters, & cousins doing our hair. That’s love! ❤️
J. J. Lol forreal right in the kitchen
I love it too ❤
It’s a beautiful sight for sure 💕💕
I love seeing that too, especially because it's tough trying to get an appointment sometimes
DO NOT PUT YOUR HAIR IN A PONYTAIL DIRECTLY AFTER , forgot to mention in video !!! HOPE YALL LOVE THIS VIDEO ! Share what you know about microlinks !! Let’s help each other Simmas! ❤️
SIMONESHARICE how do you take them out?
How many I tip packs did you use ?
What size where you tips. You have 2 diff kinds in your store. Copper or silicone, which did you use?
Love it! You look so beautiful. Thanks for sharing 😊
Why
I'm glad you put in the disclaimers . It's a great way to add length and volume, but I dont think most realize white ppl was doing this a decade ago, and stopped due to the risk of breakage. For some reason I just started seeing this on youtube on black women in the last 2 years. It's a great style when done safely with a professional.
Great video. Will you be doing a video on the removal?
@@rasheada578 removal is a process 😑
Black women have been getting these for years too Janet Jackson and other celebrities for example also in illinois I had these when I was a teenager off and on. Now though you have to make sure they know what they're doing before paying that price. Make sure they know the difference between itips and microlinks. Itips cost like 1200 here in illinois and microlinks like 235

Not sure where the breakage comes from. I use a good amount of my hair in the link. I cant feel it
Wigs and weaves definitely pay off when maintained properly. You not only get fuller healthier hair but you graduate to the micro-link life 🙌🏾 ! Thanks for the upload! 😍
Okayyy
I’m not ready to graduate to links yet ..but I’m definitely curious about it
Clip ins are better and less breakage
@@WellBeing999 and with clip-ins you can do it yourself, no need to pay hundreds of 💰
Can't nobody say this isn't your hair. AMAZING job and EXCELLENT choice with hair texture. Your aunt did that!
Thought this was you actually doing it by yourself...so you got microlinks done . Good demo
Me goo
Me too
Right
Right. Very misleading!

This is really nice and a safer way to do ur hair without pulling out edges or damaging ur hair . I like it 😍
Just so you know...you can do microlinks with track hair... just send the linking hair thru loose... press with the tool and trim if needed.
How can this be done?? I’d like to know cause I wanna try it!!! Thanks!!!
This is the white peoples extensions 💁🏽♀️ We are late in the game with this one🤷🏽♀️
Ty E not late to the game just was NEVER spending the money to get them done back then when they cost an arm and a leg.
We aren't really late. Some black women have been getting these done. I wanted to do these way back then but was told to stay away because they are damaging to kinky hair textures. So, I just went for sew-ins.

chanise bailey Congratulations to you as well!
This is a great video. I feel like this service is so much easier than most others so I don’t see why it’s so expensive to get done
The hair is usually a good portion of the fee
My white friend has sworn by these for years
Don't do it, you have to press your hair so much. I did them and had so much damage
Yes we are late on this one
They’re super nice!! But they’re more of an occasional treat, even if you don’t have to heat style your hair they’re pretty damaging
This is why guys think white girls don't wear weaves. Found out about these in college. I went to a PWI.
WHITE women have been using these before BLACK women knew about weaves ...black MEN always DISRESPECTING BLACK women because of weaves and WHITE women been wearing FAKE HAIR FOR years 👀

Use to this in the early 2000's maintenance, application and removal was too delicate and damaged my hair alot but maybe techniques have improved now.
I enjoy watching studio techilo TH-cam videos showing how to install the itips. They seem so versatile.
Me too
Is that the name
The title is misleading, your aunt did your hair. Lovely hairstyle though
Cherry Blossoms true but we both figured it out
SIMONESHARICE 😂 right lol
Now how you take it out? 🤔😂 inquiring mines want to know. I hate taking my hair down after getting it done.
There’s a circle in the pliers used to smash the bead flat. The circle is to clamp the bead the opposite way and make it a circle again then you can slide it out of your hair

Mainly because you need a highly skilled person to install it and high quality hair

What size of ring are you used and what amount of hair you have used on each section 0.5 g or 1g ? The ring size 5mm or 3mm ? Thank you
Yesss! I love I-tips. Super versatile and much more natural looking.
Have you gotten i tips before and if so how long you keep them in? How was your natural hair afterwards?
really beautiful, i just wish my hair wasnt thinning so much . hope to some day try your idea . thank you
Never mind! I paused at the receipt! I thought 3 bundles would be enough and that’s what I saw!! Awesome! Last question, pls where did you get the beads from?
Do you have a video on removing these? This was helpful as I only want to do it in the front where my hair is shorter. Thank you so much!
It looks great, your aunt did a great job. One suggestion, I would probably add a few layers, as you can see the hair strands look isolated towards the ends. Does that make sense? It hair strands look stringy or clumped together.
Britt Wright aww thank you and I’m taking your suggestion and applying it for next time. Thank you I appreciate it. Makes perfect sense
Hi Simone,
Where did you buy the micro links and the pliers that you used to close it? I also love that hair. You and your family (Aunty) have very blessed 🙏🏽 🙌🏽 hands. Extremely talented. God bless you both.
what i want to know is what happens when you need to moisturise your own hair? won't it make the extension hair greasy?
Great video your having looks very believable!!! How is the hair?? Dose it hold a curl and how well dose it straighten? I’m thinking about purchasing.
@simone I saw on other videos some sort of pliers can helps do a few at a time can. Have you used that?
Wow! The result was gorgeous💖, you looked gorgeous! And your aunt did so well😆
Hi, I was interested in purchasing hair from this company. If you don't mind letting us know how that hair is holding up? It is shedding or tangling?
Wow I don't know if I could do my own hair. This is different with a bead, Back in the day we used a plastic circle to protect & separate the hair, & put the wax link on.
I love the way you edit!
My mom used to put these in my hair when I was in 6th grade. I’m 26 now 😂. Idk where she got the idea back then. But baby them thangs was haaarrddd to take out. I would literally have a few pieces in my hair months later lol. I’m also sure she ain’t know what she was doing for real.
Lol
Love the hair looks good on u
. I would love to source this hair for my salon so plese let me know whay to do.
This looks great, question, are you going to do a video on how to remove them? that's the part i think I'm scared of.
You just squeeze the link the other way to open it back up. I slide them up whole watching tv.
I have these now and it’s the best thing EVER!!!!
Such a good detailed video. You look great. Thanks!
You look very beautiful mama. It came out really well. Reminds me of the elastic band method they use in Angola
That seems so cool and VERY interesting!!! Are these metal pieces? If we were to go thru the metal detector at the airport, would our heads light up like a Christmas Tree?? 😳😳😳 Highly curious! Lololol 😆
I had to get a cat scan or mri cant remember but they showed up all in the film😬😬😩 lol they had me take out my earring but i had to explain i had”metal pieces” in my hair😅 embarrasing. And almost made it come out inconclusive 😶
It won’t, I’ve been wearing both Microlinks and i-tips for years and never have had an issue traveling both domestic and international, the detectors have never went off:)
😹😹😹😹🤣😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
Hello, I hope you may be able to give me some good advice. I always wear my hair in braids and I am so tried of it. But I don’t like the natural look as well my hair is not that long so when I twisted up sometimes it’s really really short and it make me look like a boy sometimes I don’t like that. I have been considering the micro links because when I do my micro braids I like the feel of having human hair in my head and having it down and being able to style it anyway I would like to. My hair is really really soft however I feel I have a 4C hair so I want to know which micro links will really be best for me ? I really want to try and keep it natural I don’t really want color or anything like that I just want to stick to being natural as possible.
How do you take it off? Looks really good on you. Would not work on my 4c hair
I have to tell you how much I appreciate how you got right to it,thank you bae
question? can you do these by yourself or is it better/safer to have someone else (a professional) do it?
How many pieces did you use? On the website it offers 50 pieces
Can you feel them pretty good wien running ur hands thru the hair? Or is it almost non existent because they're very thin? If someone were to run their hand thru the hair but not really touching the root, should they feel them?
You guys did a great job. I don't think I have the patience myself but dang. Looks so good!!🙌🏽
I've never really had edges, even since I was a toddler. It's some sort of hereditary dermatological issue. Tried everything practically. I recently went completely natural. Rn I have my mini fro and whatever edges I have I fluff out and it finally looks filled in... until it has to be slicked back. Hairstyles requiring minimal emphasis on edges is what I'm searching the net for today. Wigs drive me nuts, esp. lace front cause my edges even sweat a lot. Which is even more of an issue. I wish people didn't make fun of others hairlines. It literally came with my body and quit frankly don't really date anymore because people have high expectations to be able to "run their fingers through it." I'm finding men really do like the mini fro though but others will just look at me like I'm some sort of anomaly 🤷🏾♀️ I want extensions but my edges really can't take any extra wear and tear from manipulation, which doesn't take much for mine to start falling off **sigh**
Try using a derma roller and black seed oil on your edge line about once a week and see if it produces results
Crochet style Tree braiding May help
😬 saw loads of my videos on your google search amazing. Love the tips you have at the start. Good job
Hey sweetie you sure keep this old girl on her toes 😜love the video would love to do this but have twa but looks so pretty on you. You almost at 300k . Got ants 🐜 in my 👖 gonna need to 💃🏽
Yes I know I can do it on my own hair too people are charging between 800.00 and 3k for this install
I'm so glad I found your channel!
What kind of hair was used? Can you put the link please.
How did she add the hair cause the video was fast? Thanks
I wouldn’t get these again like EVER. My hair mad curly. I can imagine the frustration of washing my hair but the wave straight now I’m trying to fight through straight weave and curly hair to straighten my hair. Even if I got naturally curly hair that’d still be too much
Is there a reason she put the itips on top of your hair? Do you think it would look better if the Itip is inserted in the bead under the real hair? Also I am looking to purchase the itips from studio Techilo in the Indian texture wave I have natraul hair I am not sure if the curl but I really don’t have a curl it’s just a fro lol u less I have products on top of products in it. I am braider and I will be trying these for the first time my friend is a stylist and specialize in wigs/sewins and we are going to try it out but I have watched video after video if you have any tips please feel free to reply with them
I used to do my self in 2016 but I got introduce to lace frontal wigs and I haven't tried it again
Your hair looks bomb 😍 btw i saw a you wearing a satin bonnet in one of the other videos what brand is it?
Do you have to straighten the hair first or does that depend on the texture you’re having installed?
Actually both beads are fine for this process just make sure your are buying silicone lined beads
Thank you!! Your comment is very very helpful. Now I know what to order for next time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
How many bundles did you use ?? I’m gonna do this for my wedding but I love my hair full and big !
I used to do this 20 years ago and used to pay a lot of money to have it done... Never again, the process causes damage... NO MATTER HOW WELL THEY ARE DONE. Say hello to hair damage ladies, I assure u u will meet it. Good luck 😂
I had the same experience 15 years ago that is why I never did it again. I think that’s why it never really got bigger.
If you have natural hair how is the detangling process. How do you untangle without putting out all your hair?
So how does this work if your natural and u do the keratin treatment to straight your hair, once it’s time to wash you hair with this install what will happen to your natural hair
Hey thanks you the video... I love the style auntie has skills lol 🥰
How many I tips did you use for ordering purposes?
What do you do to keep your hair from getting tangled if you work out a lot?
Omg yessss. Tired of wigs because its restricting and so are sew ins
Yes exactly. I needed something new altogether !!!
You have a very pleasant voice. Thanks for sharing this video.
What flat iron is she using? Mine never get my hair that shreaight.
Job well done lady's the hair style is very nice
That attitude changed when that hair got to swinging lol!
TheOne And Only ahaha right lol I was too hype
@@SIMONESHARICE It looks good.
TheOne And Only thank you girly ❤️❤️
Would one be able to use 2 of the regular beads since the tubes don’t come silicone lined?
Thank you for this video! I bought my Itips and tools and will be doing soon!
Nice! Would you look into doing micro loop extensions? They should be easier and faster to apply.
Can u do this with short hair??
can you straighten the microlink like at the roots because i have natural hair but sometimes i’ll want to straighten my hair and i don’t know if i’ll be able to get to the root
Hi my hair is natural but want to add length and fullness. What's a good or reputable website to purchase human hair to braid?
How bad does this stress the hair? Is breakage minimum? Or is a sew in more protective?
There's one lady who does this in my city but when I asked her if she could do it on my natural hair, she said that I need to get a hair treatment to get my hair straight in order to do it. I didn't spend 7 years of growing my natural hair to get it straightened for this, what if I didn't like it?
Definitely not true lol. They have micro links in multiple textures now. I’ve seen kinky straight and kinky curly and of course the classic Brazilian wavy etc
