Microbead Hair Extensions
at Hair Xpressions Salon in Houston
Also referred to as iTips or micro links, microbead extensions are very durable and a good fit for those with thick hair, curly hair, and those an active lifestyle. Hair attaches to the natural hair with a tiny bead and a small crimping tool. Micro bead extensions may not be as popular as tape ins, but they have earned their place in my collection. They look very natural, they are comfortable and require less daily detangling than other methods. My clients comment how they are very easy to wash and maintain. Here's everything you need to know.

Microbeads Are the Perfect Mermaid Hair Extensions
We get a lot of requests for that long, wavy Mermaid Hair. Just like it sounds, it's the dreamy flowing curls, effortlessly styled like you just stepped out of a fairy tale.
How Are Micro Bead Extensions Installed?
These hair extensions are a strand-by-strand application, installed without using heat or glue. Application is achieve by threading each tip and a strand of the client’s hair into the BELLAMI looping tool, through a BELLAMI looping bead and then attached by clamping the bead to the clients hair. Bellami uses high quality copper beads with protective silicone lining which is the most gentle on hair.
Benefits of Micro Bead Extensions
- Apply without heat or adhesive
- Durable bonds hold up to showering, swimming and sweat
- Less brushing and detangling needed
- Ideal for extended length and volume
