MicroLinks & Malaysian Hair Extensions

Microlinks (or cold links) are being used in the salon for both strand by strand extensions and sew in styles.  Originally we started using the microlinks to add strand by strand hair extensions. This technique works for a full or partial extension service.  Strand by strand cold links extensions are great for adding a few highlights when you do not want to color your own hair. Trendy addition of pink, purple or blue hair colors can be difficult to achieve on one's natural hair. A variety of hair colors are available and can be installed very quickly. 

The strand by strand (I-Tips) attachment of hair is still one of the most believeable techniques that create movement and dimensional color while allowing you to easily get to the scalp when shampooing.  Microlink strand by strand extensions can last up to 3 months.

Microlinks are now being used as foundation track to sew in wefts of hair. This is called the Malaysian weave technique. The Malaysian technique is another option that allows us to get the hair sewn in faster.  This no braid sew in technique uses your natural hair to maintain fullness while avoiding the bulk created by braids.  The Malaysian technique is great for clients who want their hair blended into the extensions or when the client wants to go from short to long or extremely long hair.

Both techniques can be done without damage to the hair when following your stylist instructions. Always ask your Stylist about maintenance shampoos, what to do overnight, brushing, and other care concerns when wearing long hair extensions.  For more information call Salon Baptiste 770-622-7720. Cheryl Baptiste, Pernell Baptiste, or Nicole Herring.
