Micro Bead Hair Extensions vs Weft Hair Extensions.
Micro Bead Hair Extensions vs. Weft Hair Extensions: Making the Right Choice for Your Hair. Micro Bead Hair Extensions and Weft Hair Extensions are both popular methods but the health of your natural hair and the long-term results you want should be the deciding factors. At Yovanka Loria Salon, we're passionate about safe, sustainable extensions that protect your natural hair. Let's take a closer look at both options.
Micro Bead Hair Extensions
Also known as micro links or micro rings, this method involves attaching small bundles of hair to your natural hair with tiny beads or links.
- Application: Each strand is attached individually, making it a more time consuming process.
- Appearance: Can blend when first applied by a stylists however can be noticeable when the hair is styled or worn up.
- Maintenance: Requires regular salon visits to reposition beads before they slip or cause tanging.
- Considerations: The individual beads can place uneven tension on the natural hair strands and over time or if not properly installed may cause breakage or damage.
Weft Hair Extensions
Weft Hair Extensions, our specialty, involve sewing wefts of hair onto a beaded track along the scalp. Unlike Micro Beads, the weight of the hair is distributed evenly, which makes this method gentler on your natural strands and actually encourages hair growth.
- Application: Faster to apply and comfortable to wear.
- Appearance: Yovanka Loria Extensions Micro-Tied Wefts are designed to lay flat against the scalp for a seamless and natural look.
- Styling & Customisable: Can be worn up, down or styled without any wefts being visible.
- Maintenance: Re-lifts are required every 6-8 weeks. With proper care, Yovanka Loria Extensions can last anywhere from 9-12 months or longer.
The Verdict
While Micro Bead Extensions can seem appealing, they often place more strain on the natural hair and can cause more harm than good. For safer, longer-lasting, and natural-looking results, Weft Hair Extensions are the clear winner.
