Stick tipped hair extensions (also known as i-tip) can be applied using micro-rings or shrinkie tubes. This technique is very safe as both methods require no direct heat. The first step to applying your first extension is you need to take a section of your clients hair, threading the micro ring on to the hair using a pulling needle. Once the micro ring is in position (around half an inch from the scalp) it can be securely clamped using smooth jaw pliers to close the ring and seal the hair and bond inside.
