Braid Less Sew In Tools| Microlink Tools

Hey guys so in this video we are getting ourselves prepared for the braid list, so in service I like to use certain tools and I'll show you a different, a couple, different preferences of why I don't use certain things and why I do use certain things. We'Re going to get straight into the video, so a brainless sewing or a Malaysian weave or a micro linking service can be split into two different types. It can be the ones where you have the individual strands of hair and they have eye tips on them or you can do it where you're using the weft for this particular service I'll be using the weft. So in the previous video I showed you how to I'm shampooing your extensions and getting prepared. Those will be the extensions that I use for this. So if you have not watched the video on how to prepare your extensions or if you're, not a part of the beauty, Pro Academy definitely subscribe to the beauty pro Academy and get registered, it's a one-time registration and you'll be able to get all the information in Regards to preparing your services and all of that good stuff for the different types of service, so let's get straight into what we'll need. Definitely, you will need two combs. The first comb is a metal tip comb. This is the comb that you will use to part out your hair with. While you are installing your links, so you need that comb. You also need a regular rat tail comb. These are wires, part combs, but you can use whatever rat tail. Comb YouTube's use just a regular right, so this is what you're going to use to style and also to help with your partings, because these can sometimes be a little harsh when parting a client to do the service. But these are more precise when you are doing your partings, so you need those two combs. You also need an extensions brush. Now this is an extensions brush and extensions brush has loops like these: okay, a typical brush or a typical vent brush or a typical paddle brush the there's, no loops they're straight. Those particular brushes drag the hair a little too much and I'm gon na grab one. The exact same company - this is a wet brush. This is also made by the company who makes the wet brush. This is called an extensions brush. A typical paddle brush has little teeth like these okay they're straight, and they have a little silicone bead. At the end, an extensions brush has loops that are very pliable. They move very easily and they glide over the actual micro link. Bead. Let me show you what a micro link bead looks like and you'll better understand, so these are micro link, beads. Okay, these are attached to the hair. This brush goes over the bead. Instead of trying to drag the bead it's going over the beat, so the bead goes through the hole versus these brushes. The bead does not go through the hole and drags through the bead, also causing trauma to the client's, hair and scalp. So that is the reason why I do not use these brushes for combing or brushing of my clients, micro greatness. So in extensions, so you want to make sure that you have in extensions brush. I also market these to my clients and retail these, because they need to have the proper tools at home when they're taking care of their brain is sewing. Okay, you also need to have some Gator Clips. Okay, because these will be needed to section off the hair. You will need a good amount of bees. I typically have about five Gator Clips five duckbill clips and then I'll have a couple of these for the bulk of the hair, especially if you're doing this on a natural client, you will need a pair of shears for cutting the wefts. If you're using eye tips, then you do not need shears for the eye tips they're already pre-prepared, but you will need your shares at the end of the service when it comes on to styling, and you know making sure that you're blending and all that good stuff You'Ll also need nylon thread. I buy these in the Jumbo Dumbo I'm size, and if you see here it says jumbo nylon thread. Okay, so jumbo nylon thread whatever company you get it from it doesn't really matter. I get the 130 gram where it looks kind of like fish line. That is typically what I don't like to use cotton thread for the micro linking or braid this so in install because it's it doesn't hold well and they pop very easily. Now here's the made of potatoes of the brainless your pliers - these are two different types of pliers. This is a very cheap version of the pliers that I use. I got these because I could not find these and when I use these, I hated them number one. When you're doing micro linking you need to have a groove in here that you are able to use when you're removing them, and then you also have an area where you can use to cut. These do not have that. These are just very typical, needlenose pliers that were bent, and then they marketed them as micro, linking micro linking or Malaysian weaving or whatever you want to call them tools - horrible horrible horrible. I would never buy these. These are not the right ones. So do not get these time. This is the best pliers to have okay. If you look here, it has a groove for the bead and let me find another bead for you. It has a groove for the bead and what happens is when you have a micro link when you're installing the link. This pliers is squeezing the link together like such okay. So it's now closed when it's time for you to remove it. You now have to put this same bead, that's in your clients, hair in between this little hole. If I can get it in here, there we go and at which point you are now opening the hole so that it can come off of the clients hair. So when it's open, you need to have that area where you are able to open them, then you also have the area where you are able to cut your eye tips if needed. If you need to cut a micro link, because it's protruding or something these are the best pliers to have very inexpensive, you can get these on Amazon. Honestly, you can get a whole kit with this and all the other tools that is needed for a couple dollar. As well definitely I'll put a link in the description area for you to be able to get these pliers and other tools that are needed. So these are the pliers that you will need, and you want to make sure that you have the ones that have the groove and they also have the area for cutting. So if you notice the cutting area does not close all the way it's not made to cut 100 % is really made for your eye tips if you're doing it with the individual micro linking technique. In this case we are not, then you need your loopers. These can be used to do the installation and they can also be used to hold your beads. I only use mines to hold my beads so that I can have easy access to getting my other beads. Some people actually use these because they do cross like this. They cross and you're able to put the hair in between and then drag it with the bead on there. I preferably do not like these for the actual installation of the surface. I only use it to store my my pearl inks on it. Then you have your actual micro linking tool. Can you tell I've used this tool quite a lot? It'S bent. I use this a lot, but you put the beads on here and then there's a little hole, it's kind of like a crochet needle. Let me come up some more, so it's kind of like a crochet needle. It has a little hole here. The hair goes in here and then you closed it like a crochet needle and you pull the hair through this. If you can tell these holes are not big, so you do need to make sure that you have the good amount, the proper amount of hair. For you to be able to do that. Like I said, I will be filming the installation, video for my beauty, pick Adam II student, so you're definitely welcome to register for beauty Pro Kadim II. If you have not, so you can get these different techniques and how to do everything that we do in the beauty world. Now I have a bowl full of needles because for the braveness that I do for this particular service, I am using weft hair and I am attaching them to my projects, so you will need needles. I do not use straight needles. I just have this in here. Just in case, i only use curved needles, okay, curved needles, just like that, the typical extension needles i use those and they need to be sharp, but not too sharp where you poke your client okay. So you do need these. Now, your micro link beads. I get these in a kit because there are different color pairs that you work with. I use all of these colors. Let me set these to the side. I use all of these colors and it's based on what clients I'm working with. So if you notice, I have five different colors here, these come in red, they come in pink, they come in white, they come in so many other colors, but these are the main colors of the natural clients hair. So I have it in dark brown. Black light brown lighter brown and blonde. Of course, if you have a coin whose platinum and you want to make sure that your beads matches your clients hair, I will ensure to put a link under the description box for you to be able to get these tools that are needed for this service. This actual kit right here was only a couple dollars and it came with all five packs of the different colors that I need and for today's service, I'm actually gon na be using dark brown. You want to match this with the color of the clients hair, but you also want to make sure that you're matching it with whatever color you're, using of the new hair that you're installing. So you want to kind of be in between the two to make sure that everything blends and it doesn't stand out. I'M not gon na use blonde microbeads on a client that I'm installing dark brown hair, so I'm gon na be using dark brown today, alright guys, so I hope this video was of some substance for you.
