Micro loop hair extensions are very similar to stick-tip (micro-ring method) and only difference is that micro loop comes with the micro ring already applied ready to apply, which reduces the cost of application. These hair extensions come with a plastic loop inserted inside to aid the fitting process and the micro rings are colour coded to the same colour as the hair shades.
