Who Stocks Our I-Tip Extensions
Extension brands and salons, most of them in North America. Salons that avoid heat and glue stock I-tips with matching rings and pliers, so a new stylist can start strand-by-strand work with a basic tool kit.
How I-Tips Are Applied
- 1Thread a micro ring onto a loop tool
- 2Pull a small section of natural hair through the ring
- 3Slide the I-tip into the ring alongside the natural hair
- 4Close the ring with pliers, leaving a few millimeters from the scalp
- 5Repeat in rows for length and volume
Move-ups are every 6 to 8 weeks: open the ring, slide the strand up and close it again.
Ring and Hair Colors
Micro rings are supplied in matching shades, so the ring blends into blonde, brown or black roots.
Aftercare Tips for Clients
- Keep oil-based products away from the rings, as they can make strands slip
- Dry the root area fully, because rings hold a little water around the strand
- Brush holding the hair just above the rings, so the ring isn't pulled along the strand
Washing, move-ups and how long strands last are covered in our guide to how long hair extensions last.

Questions About I-Tip Extensions
Are silicone-lined rings better?
Silicone-lined rings grip more gently and reduce slipping. Many salons prefer them for fine hair.
Do I-tips work on kinky textures?
Yes. We make I-tips in kinky straight and kinky curly. Coarser natural hair grips a plain ring well; silicone-lined rings suit fine and relaxed hair. Move-ups are every 6 to 8 weeks on every texture.
How many strands for a full head?
Usually 100 to 150 strands for length and up to 200 for extra volume.
Can I order matching micro rings?
Yes. Rings in matching shades are available, with or without silicone lining.
How many I-tip packs make up the MOQ?
10 packs per color, with mixed lengths allowed. Matching rings are ordered separately and don't count toward it.
