Mini-Links - This method uses no glue, no heat, no remover and also no damage to the hair. Small circular links are used. Your own hair is pulled through in small pieces with a tool that looks like a crochet hook then the pre tipped hair is put inside the link and it is squeezed tight. To remove use pinchers to open the link. Hair can be reused. Weaves can be done with links. Make a row of links and sew extensions hair to the links. You can also use a link in certain spots that may be lifting to hold it down or make it to your next appointment. Links are also used to make a circle and sew down a hairpiece or to hold down wigs. The plus is no glue and no heat and they are very small so they lay really flat and are hard to see.

To ensure that your hair extensions stay in optimal shape, it is very important to follow all of the below instructions. In my experience, if a client calls me with a problem, it's usually because they did not follow the below instructions:
It is recommended that you detangle the extensions before washing them by using a pick, wide-tooth comb, or soft bristle brush.
It is recommended that you check the extensions daily for any tangling of matting. You can easily prevent any matting from happening with proper brushing and 'spot' checking. You will be shown how to perform these easy tasks.
Detangle the extensions before getting into the shower and then after washing your hair. Start at the bottom of the hair and work your way up.
Wash and condition hair IMMEDIATELY after going swimming.
Wash hair immediately after exercising. The salts in perspiration can cause hair to tangle.
It's best to dry hair immediately after shampooing. At the very least, dry the bond area, and then you can let the rest air dry if necessary. To dry, pat the hair with a towel. Do not rub the hair with the towel since that cause tangling.
Do not put undo tension on the hair.
Never go to sleep with wet hair, as it may cause the hair to tangle.
Tie the hair up into a pony tail or braid when sleeping to prevent tangling.
The better you take care of the hair, the longer life span it will have before it is necessary to purchase new hair. It is NOT recommended that you color the hair yourself.
There is a range of aftercare products specially designed for your extensions to keep them in perfect condition. To keep the hair in optimal condition, the use of professional products is highly recommended. The use of inferior products may reduce the lifespan of the hair.
Made from Botanical milks of Rice, Bamboo & Milk Thistle, Smoothing Shine Milk adds a glossy shine, while it smoothes and banishes frizz.
Rinse the shampoo out of hair thoroughly to avoid build up.
Detangle hair using a pick or a wide tooth comb before and after shampooing.
Do not use any 'heat tools' (curling iron, flat iron) directly on the extension bond, since the heat may make the extension come out.
Keep your scalp clean and oil free.
