Add deep plum-red length and fuller-looking results with our #530 Plum Red 18 Inch 0.5g Stick-Tip (I-Tip) Hair Extensions. Made from Chinese Remy human hair, these silky-straight individual extensions feature slim keratin-sealed Stick-Tip ends designed for professional fitting using suitable Micro Rings or Copper Tubes.
Each strand weighs approximately 0.5g, providing approximately 12.5g of hair across 25 strands. #530 Plum Red is a deep plum-burgundy shade with cooler purple-red colouring, making it particularly suited to natural or coloured hair with rich plum, burgundy or deeper red tones.
Stick-Tip hair extensions, also known as I-Tip extensions, are individual human hair strands supplied with a slim, firm tip designed to be secured to small sections of natural hair using a suitable attachment method.
With a Micro Ring or Copper Tube fitting, a small section of natural hair and the Stick-Tip extension are positioned through the attachment before it is secured using professional extension pliers.
These fitting methods do not require heat or adhesive during the attachment process. The appropriate attachment size, section size and placement should be selected according to the density and condition of the natural hair.
At approximately 0.5g per strand, these extensions provide a lightweight individual-strand option that allows a stylist to control the placement and distribution of hair throughout the application. Professional consultation and fitting are recommended.
These extensions are supplied in quantities of 25 strands. As a general guide, approximately 150–200 strands (6–8 bundles) may be used for a full-head application, while around 75–100 strands (3–4 bundles) may be used for a half-head application.
The exact quantity required will depend on your natural hair thickness, density, existing length and the amount of additional length or volume you want to achieve. We recommend discussing the required quantity with your hairstylist before ordering.
These Stick-Tip extensions are designed for fitting using suitable Micro Rings or Copper Tubes. Professional extension pliers and an appropriate hook or loop threading tool are normally used during application.

A suitable Micro Ring or Copper Tube is positioned onto a small section of natural hair using a hook or loop tool. The Stick-Tip extension is then inserted into the attachment before it is secured using professional extension pliers.
Correct section size, attachment selection and placement are important for a secure and comfortable application. View our Stick-Tip / I-Tip Hair Extension Fitting Guide for detailed fitting information.
Stick-Tip extensions should be removed carefully by opening the Micro Rings or Copper Tubes with suitable removal pliers before gently releasing the individual extension strands from the natural hair.
For Micro Ring removal guidance, view our Stick-Tip / I-Tip Hair Extension Removal Guide .
With appropriate fitting, care and maintenance, these extensions can be worn for approximately 2–3 months. The human hair can be washed, curled and straightened, but correct care of both the extensions and attachment areas is important throughout wear.
When using heated styling tools on the hair, use a suitable heat-protection product and avoid applying direct heat to the Micro Rings, Copper Tubes or other attachment points.
Avoid applying oils, conditioners or heavy styling products directly around the attachment areas, as this may contribute to slippage. Brush the extensions carefully while supporting the fitted points.

#530 Plum Red is a deep plum-burgundy shade with cooler purple-red colouring. It is particularly suited to natural or coloured hair where rich plum, burgundy and dark red tones are visible through the mid-lengths and ends.
Compared with #99J Red Wine, #530 Plum Red has a cooler and more purple-red character. #99J provides a deep burgundy wine-red appearance, while #530 moves further towards a rich plum finish.
Compared with #350 Copper Red, #530 Plum Red is considerably darker and cooler. #350 has a bright warm copper-red appearance, while #530 contains much less orange or copper colouring.
Compared with #33 True Copper, #530 Plum Red sits at the opposite end of the warm-red spectrum. #33 is vivid and orange-red, while #530 is deep, muted and distinctly more plum-burgundy.
Deep plum and burgundy shades can look particularly dark indoors, with their red and purple tones becoming more noticeable in brighter or natural daylight.
For the best colour comparison, check the extensions against the mid-lengths and ends of your natural hair in good natural daylight rather than matching only against the roots.
