Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Micro-Links.

Micro-Links typically last 8–12 weeks before maintenance. Growth rates and styling habits affect timing; most clients return every 6–10 weeks for tightening or adjustments to keep the bonds secure and the look seamless.

When applied by experienced stylists and maintained correctly, Micro-Links are low-damage. Avoid excessive pulling, tight styles, or improper home removal. Proper attachment, periodic tightening, and professional removal minimize risk and protect your natural hair.

You can usually wash gently after 48–72 hours to allow bonds to settle. Use sulfate-free products, avoid heavy conditioners at the roots, and wait a few days before intense heat styling. Follow your stylist's aftercare for best results.

Yes, you can color your natural hair, but have it done by a professional. Avoid coloring the actual link bonds or attached hair tips. Ideally color before installation or consult your stylist for safe timing and techniques.

The number varies by desired length, density, and your natural hair thickness. Consultations determine an exact count—often 50–150 links for significant volume. Your stylist creates a customized plan balancing coverage with comfort and hair health.

Costs depend on number of links, hair quality, and stylist experience and can vary widely. Installation appointments usually take 2–4 hours. We offer consultations to provide accurate pricing and timing based on your goals and hair characteristics.
