Stick Tip Hair Extensions

Stick-Tip Hair Extensions Buying Guide

Stick-Tip hair extensions, also commonly known as I-Tip hair extensions, are an individual strand extension method fitted using small micro rings. A professional stylist threads a small section of the natural hair through a suitable ring, positions the Stick-Tip strand and securely closes the ring using professional extension pliers.

Unlike fusion methods, Stick-Tips do not require heat or adhesive during application. Our Stick-Tip range is made from 100% human Remy-graded hair and is available across selected lengths, strand weights and shades.

What Are Stick-Tip Hair Extensions?

Stick-Tips are individual strands of hair with a narrow, firm tip designed to fit through a small micro ring. They are also widely referred to as I-Tip hair extensions.

Because the extensions are applied one strand at a time, a professional stylist can control the placement and distribution of the extensions according to the client's natural hair and desired finished result.

0.5g vs 1.0g Stick-Tip Strands

Our Stick-Tip range includes 0.5g and 1.0g individual strands across selected lengths and shades.

A 0.5g strand contains less hair per individual attachment, while a 1.0g strand provides more hair per strand. The most suitable weight will depend on the client's natural hair, the desired volume and the fitting plan created by their professional stylist.

Choosing Your Stick-Tip Length

Stick-Tip extensions are available in 14", 18", 20" and 22" lengths across selected ranges.

Shorter lengths can be useful when additional thickness, volume or subtle length is required, while longer extensions can create a more noticeable transformation. The natural starting length and the amount of blending required should also be considered before ordering.

Choosing the Right Colour

Choosing a close colour match helps the extensions blend naturally with the client's own hair. Compare our available shades using the Hair Extension Colour Chart before ordering.

If you're unsure which shade is the closest match, use our Colour Match Guarantee for additional help before placing your order.

How Are Stick-Tips Fitted?

During professional fitting, a small section of natural hair is passed through a micro ring using an appropriate application tool. The Stick-Tip strand is positioned inside the ring before the ring is securely closed using extension pliers.

The application does not require fusion heat or adhesive. Correct section size, placement and ring selection are important, so we recommend professional fitting.

Recommended Quantity

The amount of hair required depends on the client's natural hair thickness, starting length and desired finished result. As a general guide, we recommend:

0.5g Stick-Tip Strands:
Half head — approximately 4 packs (100 strands)
Full head — approximately 8 packs (200 strands)

1.0g Stick-Tip Strands:
Half head — approximately 3 packs (75 strands)
Full head — approximately 6 packs (150 strands)

Each pack contains 25 individual strands. These quantities are recommendations only. The exact amount required can vary, so we recommend confirming the quantity with the professional stylist carrying out the fitting before ordering.

Choosing Micro Rings

Stick-Tip extensions require separate micro rings for fitting. Rings are available in different sizes, colours and styles, allowing the professional fitter to choose an appropriate option for the application.

Some stylists prefer 4mm silicone-lined micro rings for their additional inner cushioning and grip. You can also browse our complete Micro & Nano Ring Tools collection for rings and fitting accessories.

Professional Removal

Stick-Tips should be professionally removed using suitable extension tools. The micro ring is carefully opened before the extension strand is released from the natural hair.

Avoid pulling or forcing the extensions out. You can browse our Hair Extension Removal Tools or visit our Fitting & Removal Guides for further guidance.

Stick-Tip Aftercare

Suitable aftercare helps maintain both the appearance of the hair and the fitted attachment areas. Brush gently from the ends upwards while supporting the roots, and take particular care around the micro rings to avoid unnecessary pulling.

Wash fitted extensions upright using suitable extension aftercare products. Keep oils, conditioners and heavy creams away from the rings and attachment areas, and ensure the hair, roots and attachments are completely dry before sleeping.

We do not recommend colouring, bleaching or toning our hair extensions, or using silver, purple, blue or other colour-depositing shampoos. With suitable care, our human hair extensions typically have a usable lifespan of around 2–3 months, although this can vary according to fitting, maintenance, styling, aftercare and individual use.

Stick-Tip Hair Extension FAQs

Are Stick-Tip and I-Tip hair extensions the same?

Yes. Stick-Tip and I-Tip are commonly used names for this individual strand extension method. The narrow tip is inserted into a micro ring, which is then secured around a small section of the natural hair.

Do Stick-Tip extensions use heat or glue?

No fusion heat or adhesive is required for the Stick-Tip attachment method. The extension strand is secured using a small micro ring that is closed using professional extension pliers.

Do Stick-Tip hair extensions need professional fitting?

We recommend professional fitting. Correct sectioning, ring selection, placement and tension are important when fitting individual Stick-Tip extensions. A professional stylist can also assess whether the method is suitable for the client's natural hair.

How many Stick-Tip extensions do I need?

As a general guide, for 0.5g strands we suggest around 100 strands (4 packs) for a half head and 200 strands (8 packs) for a full head. For 1.0g strands, we suggest around 75 strands (3 packs) for a half head and 150 strands (6 packs) for a full head. The exact quantity required will vary depending on the natural hair and desired result.

What rings do I need for Stick-Tip extensions?

Stick-Tips are fitted using suitable micro rings. The preferred ring size and type can vary according to the fitting technique and client's hair. Browse our Micro & Nano Ring Tools or view our 4mm Silicone-Lined Micro Rings.

How long do Stick-Tip hair extensions last?

The usable life of the hair varies according to fitting, maintenance, styling and aftercare. With suitable care, HairXtensions human hair extensions typically have a usable lifespan of around 2–3 months. The appropriate maintenance and removal timing for the fitted extensions should be discussed with the professional stylist.

Can I colour or tone Stick-Tip hair extensions?

We do not recommend colouring, bleaching or toning our hair extensions. We also recommend avoiding silver, purple, blue and other colour-depositing shampoos. Choosing the closest suitable shade before ordering is the safest option.

Can I sleep with Stick-Tip extensions wet?

No. Fitted extensions should not be slept in while wet or damp. Make sure the hair, roots and micro-ring attachment areas are completely dry before bed. The lengths can be secured in a loose plait or low ponytail where appropriate.

How do I choose the right Stick-Tip colour?

Compare your natural hair with our Colour Chart. If you're still unsure which shade to order, use our Colour Match Guarantee before placing your order.
