(203) 628-2676What Are Micro K-Tip Extensions?
Made from 100% real Remey Hair, these individual strands of strategically placed extensions are safely attached close to your scalp in rows via melted strands of your hair to ensure that the extensions move and flow in a natural manner.
Trendsetters and go-getters alike opt for micro k-tip extensions to achieve a luxurious, low-maintenance look that lasts.
How are Micro Keratin Extensions Different from K-Tip Extensions?
Standard keratin glue beads are almost twice the size of micro bonds, which are around 0.5 to 0.7 grams per strand.
Micro keratin extensions are virtually unnoticeable, comfortable, and recommended for fine hair.
Would you recommend Micro K-Tips over regular K-Tips?
Ultimately, it depends on your hair type and the look you are going for. If you have fine hair, or if you like to wear your hair up, micro bonds are probably the way to go. If you have thicker hair and tend to wear your hair down then standard k-tips should do the trick.

How To Care For Your Micro Keratin Extensions
There are several micro keratin extension care steps you can take to keep your k-tips in tip-top shape.
Make sure you shampoo and condition your hair a few times per week with a sulfate-free shampoo and a salon-grade conditioner. To avoid breakage and matting, make sure you scrub gently and dry your hair thoroughly before bed.
Taming tangles in a timely manner is another top priority when caring for micro keratin extensions, but make sure you have the right tools for the task. Regular brushes can damage extensions, so a detangling brush is recommended as its soft, flexible bristles are ideal for tackling extension tangles.
Be careful with heavy styling products and high-heat styling tools. Utilize lightweight styling products to avoid matting and tangling, and if styling tools like curling irons or flat irons are absolutely necessary, make sure they are on a low heat setting. Overexposure to heat can damage your extensions.
Scheduling regular salon visits is also recommended for trims to even out hair growth and to reset any bonds that have slipped.
