Micro Bond Hair Extensions

Micro Bond Hair Extensions

Micro bond hair extensions are strands of 100% Remy human hair fixed to your own with tiny keratin bonds, so small they disappear even in fine or short hair. They suit you if your hair is thin or fragile, if a short cut or fringe needs extra length, or if other extensions have felt too heavy in the past.

What Are Micro Bond Hair Extensions?

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 bonding extensions are a highly popular service. Schedule a consultation at our salon, and our qualified specialists will explain all the intricacies of this procedure.

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.

How the Micro Bond Hair Extensions Procedure Is Performed at PIED-DE-POULE

01
Consultation

The master assesses your hair and scalp and talks you through the options for length and density. Strand count and length are agreed before anything is applied.

02
Colour Matching

Extension strands are matched to your natural shade, or two tones are mixed if your colour isn't uniform. This is what makes the finished hair look like one colour.

03
Sectioning

Your hair is divided into very fine sections, starting at the nape and working upwards. Placement stays clear of the hairline and parting so the bonds can't be seen.

04
Micro Bond Application

Each strand is fixed to a section of your own hair with a tiny keratin bond, one at a time. The bonds sit close to the root and lie flat against the head.

05
Blending and Finishing

The stylist cuts the extensions into your own hair so the lengths merge without a visible step. Hair is then styled so you can see the final shape.

06
Aftercare and Correction Plan

You get advice on brushing, washing and drying your hair with extensions. The stylist also explains when to come back for a correction.

Benefits of Micro Bond Hair Extensions

  • SMALLEST BONDS

    At 2–3 mm, micro bonds are smaller than cold-glue bonds or tape panels, so they stay hidden even in fine or short hair.

  • LIGHTEST ON FINE HAIR

    Each strand carries very little weight, so thin and fragile hair holds the extensions without strain.

  • WORKS ON SHORT CUTS AND FRINGES

    Tiny bonds can sit close to the hairline and in a fringe, where wider tape panels would show.

  • PRECISE PLACEMENT

    Unlike ready-made tape panels, each micro bond is placed individually, so volume can be added exactly where hair is sparse.

FAQ

  • What are micro bond hair extensions?

    They are strands of human hair attached to your own with tiny keratin bonds, set with heat close to the root. The bonds are only 2–3 mm, so they stay hidden even in fine hair.

  • Do micro bond hair extensions damage hair?

    Each bond carries very little weight, so fine hair holds it without strain. Damage usually comes from removing bonds at home or skipping corrections, so both are done in the salon.

  • How do I care for micro bond hair extensions?

    Brush daily with a soft extension brush, holding the hair at the root, and use sulphate-free shampoo without rubbing the bonds. Dry the roots fully after washing and tie hair in a loose braid for sleep.

  • How long do micro bond extensions last?

    They are worn until your natural hair grows enough to need a correction, when the bonds are removed and refitted closer to the root. Your stylist will tell you when to book it.

  • What is the difference between micro bond and ice extensions?

    Micro bonds are smaller and set with heat, so they suit fine, thin or short hair. Ice extensions use a cold glue and larger bonds and work better on medium to thick hair.

  • How to remove micro bond extensions?

    A stylist softens each bond with a special remover and slides the strand out without pulling. Removal is done in the salon, never at home.

  • How much do micro bond hair extensions cost in London?

    The price depends on the number and length of strands. A clear quote is given during your consultation, and current prices are listed in online booking.
