Why Choosing the Right Hair for Your Beaded Sew-In Matters
When it comes to beaded sew-ins—also known as microlinks—your install is only as good as the hair you’re working with. The right stylist and technique matter, of course. But the quality, texture, and origin of the hair itself will ultimately make or break your look (and your maintenance routine).
Here’s why choosing the right extension hair is crucial for a seamless, long-lasting install:
🔹 1. Not All Human Hair Is Created Equal
Many packs labeled “100% human hair” are actually a blend of processed strands—sometimes mixed with synthetic fibers or coated with silicone to feel smooth. That coating wears off quickly, leaving the hair dull, tangled, and prone to matting.
For microlinks, this can cause serious problems:
Hair that won’t blend
Increased shedding
Beads slipping due to product build-up or brittleness
That’s why I only work with high-quality, shed-free human hair that holds up to washing, heat styling, and daily wear. It’s a bigger investment upfront, but it pays off over time.
🔹 2. Texture Match Is Everything
The goal of a beaded sew-in is a natural, undetectable blend. If the extension hair doesn’t mimic your curl pattern, density, or movement, it will always look off—no matter how skilled your stylist is.
During your consultation, I’ll assess your natural hair and match you with a texture (kinky straight, coarse yaki, deep wave, etc.) that blends flawlessly with your leave-out.
🔹 3. Reusability = Value
One of the biggest advantages of microlinks is that the hair is reusable for multiple installs. But only premium hair can truly withstand the wear and tear of move-ups, heat tools, and shampoo sessions.
With proper care, the right bundles can last you 6 months or more, saving you money and reducing waste.
