For the back of the head we would normally use regular size links which fit bigger hair strands, for the sides or top of the head smaller links or looplets. They fit smaller extensions strands and appear more flat and generally less noticeable.
Once the micro link is placed on the strand of the hair, the hair extension strand is inserted into the micro link and gets closed flat with special pliers. A client's decision on which technique to adopt may depend on several factors, specifically damage. The Micro Ring technique is generally considered to be the safest way of attaching the extension hair because there is no glue and no harsh chemical needed to remove the attachments.
If extensions are applied correctly clean sectioning and even weight distribution , micro link extensions allow a client's natural hair to grow healthily under.
Additionally, there is the bonus of the opportunity to re-use the same hair given the hair is amazing quality after wearing the micro link extensions. One of the first questions we ask our clients before we start the application process is about their lifestyle and preferred hair styles.
If they mention top knots and high ponytails, we start sectioning and applying extensions further away from the hairline, placing smallest loops around the edges. In the end, we scoop the hair up in a high ponytail once again to make sure none of the attachments are showing. Application takes anywhere from hours depending on how many extensions need to be applied to achieve the desired look. We encourage every client to come back for maintenance every months and not over wear extensions.
During maintenance appointments we open the links, brush out all shedded hair and then re-attach extensions to a new, clean section of natural hair using new micro links. The lifespan of the same set of extensions depends on the quality of the hair used in the first place and clients' aftercare regime.

Stylists use this time to understand what look you are aiming to achieve, color match your hair and texture to the appropriate hair extensions and answer any questions you have.
During a consultation, a hairstylist should also advise if your hair is in a strong enough state where it can handle added micro-link extensions.

Scalp care is essential, and so, yes you will want to cleanse your scalp as well. As you cleanse our scalp, be careful not to disrupt those beads or bonds. Consider stroking your scalp rather than vigorously scrubbing.
Stay away from shampoos that contain parabens, silicone or abundant proteins. The wrong type of shampoo can weaken your hair extensions, causing them to fall out.
