Micro-Loop hair extensions are individual human hair strands supplied with their own pre-attached loop and Micro Ring. The attachment is already positioned on each strand, so there is no need to use a separate threading needle or add an individual Micro Ring before fitting. During application, a small section of natural hair is passed through the pre-attached loop. Pulling the loop guides the natural hair through the attached Micro Ring before the ring is positioned and secured using suitable professional extension pliers. The Micro-Loop fitting method does not require heat, glue or bonding adhesive. Correct section size, placement and ring tension remain important for a secure and comfortable application. At approximately 0.5g per strand, the extension hair is distributed across multiple individual attachment points. The appropriate quantity and placement should be selected according to the density and condition of the natural hair and the desired finished result. Professional consultation and fitting are recommended to determine the appropriate quantity and placement for the natural hair. How Many 0.5g Micro-Loop Strands Do I Need? These extensions are supplied in quantities of 25 strands. For our 0.5g Micro-Loop range, the recommended guide is approximately 150–200 strands (6–8 bundles) for a full-head application and around 100–150 strands (4–6 bundles) for a half-head application. The exact quantity required will depend on your natural hair thickness, density, existing length and the amount of additional length or volume you want to achieve. We recommend discussing the required quantity with your hairstylist before ordering. Important quantity information: The price shown is for 25 individual 0.5g strands, providing approximately 12.5g of hair in total. Product imagery may show packets containing four bundles or more, so please use the stated strand quantity when calculating how much hair you require. Micro-Loop Fitting Tools As the loop and Micro Ring are already attached to each extension strand, fitting primarily requires suitable professional extension pliers. The Micro Ring is secured once the natural hair has been guided through the pre-attached loop and positioned correctly.

View our Micro-Loop Hair Extension Fitting & Removal Guide for detailed application information. Micro-Loop Hair Extension Application Micro-Loop extensions help streamline individual-strand application because the loop and Micro Ring are already attached to each extension. Correct strand placement, section size and ring positioning remain important throughout professional fitting. Micro-Loop Hair Extension Removal Micro-Loop extensions should be removed carefully by reopening the attached Micro Ring with suitable removal pliers before gently releasing the extension strand from the natural hair. The Micro Ring should not be pulled or forced from the natural hair while closed. Professional removal is recommended to help minimise unnecessary tension around the fitted areas. View our Micro-Loop Hair Extension Fitting & Removal Guide for further guidance. Micro-Loop Hair Extension Aftercare With appropriate fitting, care and maintenance, these extensions can be worn for approximately 2–3 months. The human hair can be washed, straightened and styled, but correct care of both the extension hair and Micro Ring attachment areas is important throughout wear. Always use a suitable heat-protection product when using heated styling tools on the extension hair. Avoid applying direct heat to the Micro Rings or attachment areas. Oils, conditioners and heavy styling products should also be kept away from the fitted points, as these may contribute to slippage. Brush the extensions carefully while supporting the attachment areas. Follow our Hair Extension Aftercare Guide for full maintenance information. Choosing #1B Off Black #1B Off Black is a deep, softer black shade that can reveal subtle brunette depth in natural daylight. It is particularly suited to very dark hair that appears black overall but is not quite a solid true black. Compared with #1 Jet Black, #1B Off Black is slightly softer and less intense. #1 provides the deepest true-black appearance within the range, while #1B introduces subtle brunette character. Compared with #2 Dark Brown, #1B Off Black remains darker and closer to black. #2 has a clearer deep-brunette appearance, whereas #1B sits between true black and very dark brown. If your hair appears black indoors but shows a slight brown or brunette tone in natural daylight, #1B Off Black may provide the closer match. If it remains distinctly true black, #1 Jet Black may be more appropriate. For the best colour comparison, check the extensions against the mid-lengths and ends of your natural hair in good natural daylight rather than matching only against the roots.
