How to Attach Micro-Ring Hair Extensions
Hair extensions add thickness, length and color to natural hair. There are a variety of methods for attaching extensions varying from sewing to clipping in to gluing. The latest technology uses micro rings or small plastic cylinders that are bonded to the root of the natural hair. They are especially convenient because they can be attached to short natural hair and can be removed easily. Micro-ring extensions are comfortable, long-lasting and flexible; however, they do take some patience and technique to apply.
Instructions
1. Separate your clean hair into four sections. Begin by sectioning off the top by running your fingers from your ears around your head until they meet. Separate the top portion into two sections and then the bottom half into two sections. Clip aside each portion.
2. Thread the needle through one micro ring until it is completely through.
3. Select a small 1/4 inch section of your natural hair and hook the hair using your needle. Close the latch once the hair has been grabbed.
4. Slide the micro ring down over the hair towards the scalp, keeping the latch closed with your index finger. Pull the hair completely through the ring, so the hair is threaded through the ring and your needle is free.
5. Insert your pre-tipped hair extension into the micro ring, so it is lying alongside the natural hair.
6. Crimp down on the micro ring using your pliers to close, keeping the hair in a downward position, so it lays flat once set. Repeat until the entire head is complete.
