Keratin Glue or Micro Rings for Hair Extension Application

In the past hair extensions were seen as a luxury item reserved for celebrities only. Today, hair extensions are no longer just for celebrities. Due increased demand for extensions services, many stylists have received training to attach and remove hair extensions. The industry as a whole has exploded to include a minefield of different methods of attachment available. Keratin glue and micro-rings, the most common methods are compared below.

Keratin Glue application of hair extensions

Keratin glue is heated in a glue gun with the hair extensions literally glued to the existing hair. The keratin glue can withstand both heat and chemical treatments. An adhesive remover is used to remove the hair extensions dissolving the glue bonds to a powdery substance. If excess glue is used the extensions may become heavy placing excess pressure on your existing hair. Breakage can occur with fine hair as the sticky glue is combed out.

Micro Ring application of hair extensions

Micro rings are arguably the best method of application of hair extensions. A small metal tube is clamped over the real hair to attach extension hair. Good quality micro-rings are light weight with a silicon inner lining to prevent hair extensions from slipping. Due to the light weight of the rings there is no damage to the roots of your existing hair. Removal is simply done by lightly unclamping the micro-rings allowing the extensions to fall out. Micro-rings are a safe alternative for people with sensitive skin as adhesive removers are not needed.
