Did you see someone else wearing a natural and long-lasting hair extension, and eagerly purchase a new one, only to find that it is prone to tangling, loose roots, easy detachment, uncomfortable to wear, and even causes scalp pain when pulled?

Microloop Hair Extensions
During Installation
- When using specialized pliers to tighten the silicone ring, the force should be “moderate” – too loose will cause the hair to slip off, and too tight will compress the silicone ring and deform, causing it to lose its fixing effect.
- Each bundle of hair extensions corresponds to one’s own hair (as shown in the figure below), to avoid pulling too much hair in a single bundle.
- Fix the Micro Loop at a distance of 1/2 inch (1.3cm) from the scalp for easy hair extension and movement.
Disassembly Taboos
Use pliers to unscrew the micro ring in reverse. If the silicone ring is stuck to the hair, apply 1-2 drops of hair care essential oil for lubrication before proceeding. Absolutely not forcefully pulled!
Itip and Nano Hair Extensions
During Installation
Professional tools required for itip hair extensions
Professional tools required for itip hair extensions
The installation tool of nano hair is similar to itip, the only difference is the choice of beads.
- The micro ring is extremely small and requires high precision, stability, and experience for installation. It is recommended to choose a professional hair salon or professional personnel and use professional tools to operate hair extensions to prevent wire ends from tangling and damaging hair.
- Nano ring hair extensions and i-tip hair extensions require separate purchase of micro rings.
Disassembly Taboos
Special pliers are required for precise operation, as forcibly pulling and pulling can seriously damage the primary hair and hair extensions.
Utip and Flat tip Hair Extensions
During Installation
- Relying on high-temperature adhesive bonding, professional hairstylists are required for installation. Professional heating pliers are needed during installation, and the adhesive should be quickly fixed after fully melting to avoid glue overflow and clumping, which may affect the appearance.
- It is recommended to install it 0.5-1 inches away from the scalp to prevent scalp burns or hair damage caused by being too close to the roots.
Dismantling reminder
It is necessary to apply a special adhesive remover to the bonding area and wait for 3-5 minutes. After the glue softens, gently peel it off. It is forbidden to forcefully pull and cause hair breakage.
Important factors affecting the overall wearing effect
- 1. Professional installation is the king: The several hair extensions mentioned above are more suitable for finding experienced hair extensions to install. Self installation can easily lead to incorrect hair direction, tight/loose loops, improper positioning, resulting in native hair breakage, hair follicle damage, or rapid hair loss.
- 2. Hair quality assessment is key: Before purchasing, you can seek a hairstylist to evaluate your natural hair strength, density, and health condition, and choose the most suitable hair extensions for you. For example, soft and damaged hair has low tolerance for certain categories.
- 3. Matching is crucial: the color, volume, and thickness of the hair strands must perfectly match the natural hair to achieve invisibility.
- 4. Scalp sensitivity test: Although Ugeat extensions are made from real human hair and have low allergy rates such as connector micro rings and Italian keratin, it is recommended to conduct tests on products used before and after installation, such as cleaning agents and care solutions.
Each hair extension has its unique advantages and exclusive ‘user manual’. The durability of Ugeat human hair extensions not only depends on product quality, but also on your usage details. Understanding their differences and key precautions can not only keep the extensions natural and beautiful, but also maximize the protection of your own hair, allowing every penny to be spent on the cutting edge.
