So these are the marketing feeds that I use, but these are the correct ones to use. You can see they're a little bit longer and I believe they hold the entire tip of the eye tips. I also want to mention that the beads come in different colors in case you have different color here. Give me the keys after that. You'Re gon na need these pliers, and this is gon na squeeze the bead on to the hair. So this is the hair that I use is the wavy Indian hair. I love it because it matches my hair, whether it's blow-dried or straightened with a flat iron. I got it from a brand called Studio tequila. I think I'm saying that wrong, but I only got three packs and it still feels very full. I used about two and a half to do my entire head things to know before getting micro links and eye tips. They can last up to two months or longer, with the proper care and maintenance avoid micro links. If your hair is thinning, because there will be added stress to your hair, they do not always require heat. There are several different hair texture that you can definitely choose between. As you can see from this google search. If your hair is natural, there are many textures out there today that will mimic your hair pattern or, and your curl pattern this way you can still do balm twist out balm, braid out all kinds of balm natural hair styles that don't require heat. The install time can be between one to four hours depending on the stylist, since it was our first time it did take about four hours. Micro links can be very expensive to have installed. When I did my research, I found pricing between three hundred to a thousand dollars just to have installed and, yes, you can wash your hair just be very gentle and very delicate. Seven days later after I installed my micro wings, I actually washed my hair and dyed. It and I was able to blow-dry it just be very gentle, move slow and be very delicate with your hear now, let's get started so for the first couple of steps. You want to make sure that you're starting off on freshly washed terr next you're gon na want to flat iron your entire head, or you can do it row by row. Now you want to separate the amounts of leave out that you will want to leave out now, keep in mind. This is not a permanent decision. If you finish the entire hairstyle and realize you should have left out more or you should have left out less, you can definitely do that towards the end. You can modify it, it's very easy to modify. So it's not a permanent decision, but mapping out your leave out will make life a little easier. So here's an up close and personal demonstration you're going to section off a piece of hair with you're, pulling needle put the hair inside the pulling needle and then slide down the micro tip ring until it touches the root of the hair and pull the hair through. Once you've done that, you want to get your eye tip and then you want to push the eye tip inside of the ring. My aunt place, mines on top of the hair and then you're going to squeeze it with your pliers. Now don't squeeze too tight or you roll, it will cut your hair. I also want to mention: do not put the ring and the eye tip too close to your root, because it will be super tight, so you want to make sure you have. I would say about a half a centimetre or enough room by the root where it's not super tight. Next, you want to go ahead and just do this all around the head, so we just did it in neat rows going from left to right until we got up to the top portion of the head. So I got this question a lot in my Instagram. Dms. Can I do the half up half down hairstyle and the answer is yes now, if you are gon na, do this hairstyle just make sure you leave out some hair, where the part would be for the half-up half-down? You want to leave out enough hair to cover the eye tips it's kind of like if you were gon na, do the half up half down with sewing it in you would want to cover the weft and leave out enough hair to cover the web. So same concept as for me, I did not leave out any hair in the middle. I did micro links all in the middle of my, so I just wanted to show you guys how it could be done if you wanted a half a pack down nope. I do not have a perm and my hair is natural. What is my hair texture? I have no clue. No, it does not hurt unless you are installing the micro Lynx very tightly, which you should not be doing. It can be hard to install if you have absolutely no hair experience. My aunt used to do here a lot back in the day. She'S actually taught me how to do here, so that's probably why it was easier for us to catch on. So another tip that I want to tell you guys is when you are pulling this little black tool onto your hair, make sure you are not picking up thick chunks of your real hair, because it is not going to go through that small circle thing. It'S also gon na probably put more attention on your hair and possibly rip some hair out, so we don't want to do that. Instead make sure you pull small amount, especially if your hair is thicker through the circles so that it just is comfortable and not putting too much stress and pulling and tension on your hair. As you are installing this hairstyle honestly, I would say, as you're doing this hairstyle take your time figure out what you like figure out. If you want more hair left out, less hair left out you'll, definitely figure it out as you're going along again. This is my first time doing it, so you know I'm learning as well as I'm doing it, and I actually really love the idea of eye tips. I feel like it's very comfortable. I was really getting tired of wearing wigs and I honestly, I feel, like my hairline - is doing its own thing these days, which is why I want to just give it a little break. I also want to mention that I specifically got this hair texture, because I don't really want to put heat on my hair all the time, so this hair texture with me just blow drying my hair and blow-drying. The actual eye tips match perfectly. So you can wash your hair with this. You can still style your hair in different ways with the micro link, so it offers a lot of flexibility and just gives you the option to do a whole bunch of different looks [ Applause, ], [ Applause ]. In conclusion, I loved the outcome and the results absolutely love the way the hair texture feels matches perfectly. It feels good. I haven't had any tangles, definitely no sitting there. So I'm impressed, you know me, my aunt figured it out and we got it if you guys have done the chairs out before, and you have some tips and tricks that you want to leave down below. Definitely do that. I think a lot of people would love to know, including me as well, and thank you guys for watching this video. Don'T forget my booty shop, allure, couture, calm and I'll. See you guys in my next video

Crystal M: I used to do these 10 years ago. Be aware there are MANY different types of links sold, some are just copper links with no coating on the inside. You can also get different lengths of the links. Depending on how you treat them, or where you get them, the powder coat can come off the outside. DO NOT OVER CRIMP - it cracks the coating and makes it harder to open the link up again. If you are doing it on yourself, something I did for a few years, do a few test links first and wear then for a couple days using different amounts of hair and link type. Wash your hair. See what is holding best without twisting around at the root or sliding off easily. It would be mortifying for you to spend a day on your hair only to have it slide right off. Also you probably need a three way mirror to do your own hair. Having friends who know hair is great. Unfortunately I was that friend, and what I thought was common sense, apparently wasn’t as easy to grasp for others. So I figured out how to do my own.
J. J.: I just love seeing mothers, aunts, sisters, & cousins doing our hair. That’s love! ❤️
A J: I like how she went straight to the damn point!!
Caren Beckett: Thought this was you actually doing it by yourself...so you got microlinks done . Good demo
Ciara Jade: Wigs and weaves definitely pay off when maintained properly. You not only get fuller healthier hair but you graduate to the micro-link life ! Thanks for the upload!
SIMONESHARICE: DO NOT PUT YOUR HAIR IN A PONYTAIL DIRECTLY AFTER , forgot to mention in video !!! HOPE YALL LOVE THIS VIDEO ! Share what you know about microlinks !! Let’s help each other Simmas! ❤️
Felicia Felicia: I'm glad you put in the disclaimers . It's a great way to add length and volume, but I dont think most realize white ppl was doing this a decade ago, and stopped due to the risk of breakage. For some reason I just started seeing this on youtube on black women in the last 2 years. It's a great style when done safely with a professional.
Life With Sandra: The way you edit is so pleasing. We can tell you put a lot of effort into it. We appreciate you
TERRY STEVENSON: Wow this is totally awesome and looks beautiful and natural. Not wiggy, fake or unrealistic! My edges are a hot mess so I’m not sure I’m a candidate. But watching this video gets me motivated to get my hair in shape to be able to do something like this.
Leona N.: Thinking about getting this for my wedding.
ineedhoez: I finally did mine and i love it! My hair is retaining length bc i can easily keep it moisturized. I had keratin glue extensions b4 and no matter how hard I tried, I would lose a lot of hair. I can keep the gunk out of my hair and slide that link up to keep everything fresh. I watch tv and tighten everything up. I used kinky straight hair and it has been amazing. I will use these forever
La'Unique Beauty Services: Came out beautiful. I've installed this technique into all textures of hair by track & individuals. It gives a person more flexibility with styling than the average sew-ins
Elizabeth Auguste: Hi! This video is lovely and gave so much wonderful information, but the title misled me a little! - I definitely watched for a long time hoping you were actually installing them yourself But an amazing job to your aunt! And I'm glad to have learned so much about this style!! Feels like something I might pick up learning how to do, especially if taking them out doesn't prove too difficult.
Shanelle Warner: I have seen this type of adding in hair but only on white women and it is great to know we can get this for our hair to. Great video thank you for posting
Kandice Harris: I been wondering about these! Thank you so much! Might be in future
Glen Butler: Nice to know there are versatile techniques that result in beautiful, natural, non-wiggy styles but this seems extremely time-consuming and an absolute "booger" to remove!
Minister LaToya: This was helpful, I LOV IT, Looks extremely natural & easy to install from the way you recorded,Thank you & God bless you!
Rhonda Seward: Can't nobody say this isn't your hair. AMAZING job and EXCELLENT choice with hair texture. Your aunt did that!
Kitirne Mills: Hello, I hope you may be able to give me some good advice. I always wear my hair in braids and I am so tried of it. But I don’t like the natural look as well my hair is not that long so when I twisted up sometimes it’s really really short and it make me look like a boy sometimes I don’t like that. I have been considering the micro links because when I do my micro braids I like the feel of having human hair in my head and having it down and being able to style it anyway I would like to. My hair is really really soft however I feel I have a 4C hair so I want to know which micro links will really be best for me ? I really want to try and keep it natural I don’t really want color or anything like that I just want to stick to being natural as possible.
Yashar'els Crown: Wow! The result was gorgeous, you looked gorgeous! And your aunt did so well
Riot Johnson: Wow I’ve never heard of this before! It does look like it would cause a lot of tension though, just like you said. I think I’d rather just wear a hd lace wig tbh
Shameka Shameka: I have to tell you how much I appreciate how you got right to it,thank you bae
Merida Angelina: Looks beautiful!! Your Auntie hooked it up!! God bless!
tdmaben1: That seems so cool and VERY interesting!!! Are these metal pieces? If we were to go thru the metal detector at the airport, would our heads light up like a Christmas Tree?? Highly curious! Lololol
Eclectic Soul: These came out great . I got these done years ago (when mostly yt people were doing it lol). The versatility is great, but tbh this isn’t a protective style at all lol. You still have to flat iron your hair and your hair is just mixed inbetween the weave it’s not braided or anything and because of our hair texture applying the bead and tip can be tricky especially if you aren’t being careful or trying to rush. This style can cause serious breakage.
EBONEE Onyxx: I’m sooo glad u posted this video I’ve been looking on their website for this hair but was searching for reviews!! This was rite on time!!
Asia Ashanti: This is a great video. I feel like this service is so much easier than most others so I don’t see why it’s so expensive to get done
All Trends With Samore: You guys did a great job. I don't think I have the patience myself but dang. Looks so good!!
Sheila Wilson: Use to this in the early 2000's maintenance, application and removal was too delicate and damaged my hair alot but maybe techniques have improved now.
Elizabeth Brown: I really love your videos! ❤️ So easy and helpful!
Sanya Scorpio: This is really nice and a safer way to do ur hair without pulling out edges or damaging ur hair . I like it
Kaila Kake: Loveddddd this! Makes me want to get some!!
Britt Falker: It looks great, your aunt did a great job. One suggestion, I would probably add a few layers, as you can see the hair strands look isolated towards the ends. Does that make sense? It hair strands look stringy or clumped together.
oreoluwa Ayeni: Never mind! I paused at the receipt! I thought 3 bundles would be enough and that’s what I saw!! Awesome! Last question, pls where did you get the beads from?
isitme: what i want to know is what happens when you need to moisturise your own hair? won't it make the extension hair greasy?
B. Charles: Such a good detailed video. You look great. Thanks!
N G: Great video your having looks very believable!!! How is the hair?? Dose it hold a curl and how well dose it straighten? I’m thinking about purchasing.
Red Wine: My white friend has sworn by these for years
Dameka Davis: Nice! Would you look into doing micro loop extensions? They should be easier and faster to apply.
Beautifulflaws Creations: I have these now and it’s the best thing EVER!!!!
Rain E.: Yesss! I love I-tips. Super versatile and much more natural looking.
Melissa Hilbrand: Just came across this! I am pretty new to extensions. I’m a white girl born with stupid thin hair and when I learned about tape ins, I was all about it. With thin, fine hair, you have to be able to wash it at least twice a week! Anyways, my guy that does my tape ins suggested hand tied wefts across the back for me so, we tried them this time. I’m living so far! Anyways, I came across your video and wanted to watch to learn about this method too. All that to say... dang girl!!!! You are gorgeous!!!!
Jalece Woodley: Thank you for this video! I bought my Itips and tools and will be doing soon!
25 Sigma: I've never really had edges, even since I was a toddler. It's some sort of hereditary dermatological issue. Tried everything practically. I recently went completely natural. Rn I have my mini fro and whatever edges I have I fluff out and it finally looks filled in... until it has to be slicked back. Hairstyles requiring minimal emphasis on edges is what I'm searching the net for today. Wigs drive me nuts, esp. lace front cause my edges even sweat a lot. Which is even more of an issue. I wish people didn't make fun of others hairlines. It literally came with my body and quit frankly don't really date anymore because people have high expectations to be able to "run their fingers through it." I'm finding men really do like the mini fro though but others will just look at me like I'm some sort of anomaly ♀️ I want extensions but my edges really can't take any extra wear and tear from manipulation, which doesn't take much for mine to start falling off **sigh**
Ebone M.: Hey thanks you the video... I love the style auntie has skills lol How many I tips did you use for ordering purposes?
Eileen Camacho: Beautiful! Great job
oreoluwa Ayeni: How many bundles did you use ?? I’m gonna do this for my wedding but I love my hair full and big !

TinyTay13: What do you do to keep your hair from getting tangled if you work out a lot?
Helena Harris: This looks great, question, are you going to do a video on how to remove them? that's the part i think I'm scared of.
Sharon Williams: Talented family. Where have you guys been all my life? This family has been blessed with gifted hands. I cannot wait for you to do my hair.

Lauryne Amanda: I love the way you edit!
Tempy 210: I love this!! I will try it out.
Leonda Parker: Where are you located? I would love to get my hair micro braided.
Emmet: I wish that I knew a friend that did hair. You are a lucky one. I am that friend and everybody always wants to come to me to do their hair. She did a wonderful job.
HonorableSienna: Actually both beads are fine for this process just make sure your are buying silicone lined beads
Nicole L: Ive bn thinking fir a while about getting this done again... Now I no I want it lol
Brandy Lashay: Hey friend!!! So I just ordered these itips sorry if I missed the part where you said what size bead you used for the install. Thanks I’m advance !!❤️
Gina B.: Hi, I was interested in purchasing hair from this company. If you don't mind letting us know how that hair is holding up? It is shedding or tangling?
Joyce: I knew someone who did this way back in the 90s and always wondered what the method was.
A C: Auntie did that!
th3invisiblegirl: Would one be able to use 2 of the regular beads since the tubes don’t come silicone lined?
MsLeelee94: Beautiful
Josalyn Upchurch: question? can you do these by yourself or is it better/safer to have someone else (a professional) do it?
fullwitch: I worked at a high end extension store for 2 yrs (white people extensions) and my manager installed the i tips on me (for free) and now im jonesing to have them again! This time ill do a less silky texture i just need to find an affordable stylist
Glam Hairstyles: Best of all. i love this. thanks
whatevafloatsyaboat2: Your hair looks bomb btw i saw a you wearing a satin bonnet in one of the other videos what brand is it?
Masha Chan: There's one lady who does this in my city but when I asked her if she could do it on my natural hair, she said that I need to get a hair treatment to get my hair straight in order to do it. I didn't spend 7 years of growing my natural hair to get it straightened for this, what if I didn't like it?
toyarj37: How do you take it off? Looks really good on you. Would not work on my 4c hair
Sylvia Smith: That beautiful thanks for sharing
Tam Tamz: Girl, this looks like it’ll take your hair clean out. It’s cute but not worth the risk, IMO.
Flower power: I used to do this 20 years ago and used to pay a lot of money to have it done... Never again, the process causes damage... NO MATTER HOW WELL THEY ARE DONE. Say hello to hair damage ladies, I assure u u will meet it. Good luck
Tandrine Bray: Now how you take it out? inquiring mines want to know. I hate taking my hair down after getting it done.
peepla7: Just so you know...you can do microlinks with track hair... just send the linking hair thru loose... press with the tool and trim if needed.
avaphynx: I used to wear the micro links years ago but I want to do it with my natural hair.
dori darling: I lve this look on you! I’ve been wanting to try microlinks for a min now because ever since I went natural, sew in’s have my scalp on fire . Definitely going to look into finding the right texture hair and materials to do this style. Great video!
ChicStyleYoYo: Looks so natural!!
C My Reaction: That is awesome
Angela Lewis: Great Job Sistahgirl!
Shon9tilR: Nah I'll stick with clip ins.
