Micro-ring hair extensions – everything you need to know about this method!

Micro ring hair extensions are a popular option for people looking for a semi-permanent way to lengthen their hair. These extensions are attached to the hair using small metal rings that are attached to the root of the hair. Micro ring extensions are usually made from 100% human hair and provide a natural look that is difficult to distinguish from your own hair. An additional reason for this is that you can use multiple shades together, strand by strand, which is not possible with Tape-ins or Weave hair extensions, for example.

How are micro ring hair extensions installed?

Micro ring extensions are installed by attaching small metal rings to the base of the hair. The rings are tightened securely to hold the hair in place and prevent the extensions from shifting. The installation process usually takes about 3 to 4 hours and should be performed by a professional hairdresser.

How long do micro-ring hair extensions last?

Micro-ring hair extensions can last up to three to four months before needing to be replaced. It is important to care for the extensions properly and not to use products that can damage the metal rings. As the extensions begin to grow over time, they can be adjusted to keep them in place.

Advantages and disadvantages of micro-ring hair extensions:

Micro-ring hair extensions are a good option for people who are looking for long-lasting hair extensions (can be put back up) without having to worry about daily maintenance. They are also relatively invisible and provide a natural look that is difficult to distinguish from your own hair. The downside to micro ring extensions is that the installation process can take quite a long time and can be more expensive than other types of extensions.  

The biggest disadvantage is that the rings are quite hard and this can cause irritation on the scalp and partly damage/break your own hair.
