Micro bond hair extensions are strands of hair fixed to your own with tiny keratin bonds, small enough to stay hidden even in fine hair. The method is also known as microcapsule hair extensions or micro keratin fusion. They are not the same as micro ring extensions, which clamp strands in place with small metal rings: micro bonds use keratin only, with no rings or beads in the hair.
What sets micro bonds apart from other hair extension methods is that each bond is only 2–3 mm. This allows for extending a fringe or adding volume to your hairstyle. Due to their small size, the bonds do not exert pressure on the hair, protecting it from tangling or pulling.
With this technology, you can extend your hair up to 80 cm. The bonds are attached to natural hair strands using a hot method: a heated tool softens the keratin so it wraps around a thin section of your hair and sets into a flat capsule. Even thin and weakened hair can handle this weight.
Not every girl can boast of having naturally thick and long hair. However, this problem can be easily solved thanks to modern technologies. Micro bond extensions are suitable even for ultra-short haircuts. They look very natural and require minimal maintenance. Our salon experts are well-versed in all the intricacies of hair extensions, and we invite you to schedule the procedure online.
Who Micro Bond Extensions Suit
Micro bond hair extensions are suitable for all hair types and work especially well on fine, thin or short hair. The number and length of strands are chosen by the client, with the master’s guidance to explore various options. Although the process can be time-consuming, the final results are well worth it.
For thick hair that needs a lot of extra volume, ice extensions are often the more practical choice. If you have an active scalp condition or noticeable hair loss, tell your stylist at the consultation: in these cases extensions may not be the right option, and the stylist will advise what suits your hair.

Micro Bond Hair Extensions: Pros and Cons
Pros:
- the smallest bonds of any strand method, hidden even in very fine hair and at the hairline;
- little weight per strand, so thin and fragile hair holds them comfortably;
- suitable for short cuts and a fringe;
- worn day and night, unlike clip-ins that have to be taken out every evening;
- 100% Remy human hair that can be washed, coloured and heat-styled like your own.
Cons:
- the bonds are set with heat, so if you’d rather avoid any heat near the root, a cold method suits you better;
- application takes longer than tape in extensions, because every strand is fixed separately;
- removal and corrections must be done in the salon, as removing bonds at home can damage your own hair.
