Which method is primarily non-damaging for adding extensions?

The micro-loop or micro-link method is primarily non-damaging for adding extensions due to its unique application technique that does not involve heat, glue, or braiding—methods often associated with potential damage to the natural hair. Instead, this method utilizes small sections of natural hair that are threaded through a loop or bead, then secured using a small bead or link. This allows for a secure hold while maintaining the integrity of the natural hair, minimizing the risk of breakage or stress on the hair shaft.

Furthermore, the micro-loop/micro-link method is also advantageous because it allows for easy adjustment and removal of the extensions without causing harm. Since there is no adhesive or heat involved, the natural hair is less likely to suffer from damage that can occur with other methods, like hot fusion or glue-in techniques, which can compromise the hair’s structure and health. Additionally, this method can be ideal for clients looking for temporary extensions, as they can be easily removed and reapplied without long-term effects on their hair.
