Microlink/ Braidless FAQ
How exactly is this done and what do you do?
Microlinks are an enhanced extension service used to extend the natural hair.
I use the braidless sewin method/style. A bead Is attached to your hair then I sew wefted hair on top of the bead.
All of your natural hair and scalp will be exposed to air. This is the perfect blend for length and volume.
Do I need a consultation?
Most people are eligible. If you have color or hair concerns or hair concerns schedule a consult.
How long does my hair have to be?
I require your perimeter and leave out be at least 3”-4” all around. Schedule consult if you’re not sure.
Does it hurt?
Style should be pain free/tension free!
Do you do Itip Microlinks or threadless?
Currently no. I am thinking of adding tape in service.
Do I need a relaxer?
NO! You can not have a relaxer or transitioning hair for this style. The hair strand is too weak and will break off.
What is the cost & What's included?
Rate is $65 per row not including hair. it includes:
- Semi permanent on natural hair
- #1 or #2 color on extensions
- Clarifying shampoo + Hydrating condition
- Deep conditioning treatment
- Refining cut on your natural hair
- Braidless install
- Trim on extensions + face frame
- Style with straight, curls or loose waves
The average is 8 rows but you may need more or less.
Please be prepared to pay for up to 10 rows, which is +$130 to the base price
For extensions purchased through me I colors #1 & #2 are included on the extensions to match your natural hair.
I use Demi permanent which washes out in 24 shampoos.
How long does it last?
This style will last for 6-8 weeks or 1½-2 months before needing a retighten.
I can retighten 3x-4x before the bead breaks down and a reinstall is needed.
What is the Maintenance?
This REQUIRES washing & conditioning every 2-3 weeks and retightens every 7-8 weeks.
If you cannot stick to this obligation, please book traditional sewin.
What type of hair is included and can it be reused?
I source authentic raw virgin hair, meaning cut directly from the donor with no chemical processing. Look at FAQ for more details
The wefts are reusable for an average of a year, but understand the wefts lightly shed over time, and you will need more hair over time.
***If the hair is cut into layers, the layered bundles are not reusable once we take it down.
Will my hair revert?
I use salon brand tools and products along with a silk press before installing. All my clients are natural and they are fine until wash day. If you never straighten your natural hair your hair may revert sooner.
Is it versatile?
Versatility depends on your hair. The longer & fuller your hair the more versatile the install.The more hair left out the thinner the install.
If your hair is short, you will have to pick one part, and your hair will only go in a ponytail if it reaches.
Most clients opt for one part, and are able to flip their hair for a tossed side part and are able to do ponytails.
How full is it?
2-2.5 bundles will fit on average, with 2.5 being lengths 26+.Your head size, hair density (how much hair per square inch)and how fine your hair strand is will play a huge part in how much hair I can install safely.
Is there a way to make this look thinner?
Yes. I can use one track per row vs two. There is a price deduction of 1 bundle.
Should I get my natural hair texture?
If you plan on swimming or wearing the texture curly 90% of the time yes.
Curly and kinky curly extensions are normally made with a steaming process, and adding heat will limpen the texture.
Most of my clients use the natural wavy raw virgin Cambodian hair with braidless installs and all are natural.

How to book a color service?
I only color extensions. if your hair is a #1, #2 or #3 book regular service + highlighted look as add on.
