Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Bellami I-TIPS Micro Beads.

A trained stylist threads small sections of natural hair through an I-tip extension, then slides a micro bead up and crimps it to secure the extension. Process is repeated across rows for desired volume and length, taking care to avoid excess tension.

When installed and maintained properly by a professional, micro beads minimize stress and prevent breakage. Regular maintenance appointments and gentle care reduce risk; improper installation or neglect can cause strain. We prioritize safe placement and suitable bead sizes for hair health.

With proper care and regular tightening appointments every six to eight weeks, micro bead installations can last several months. Individual wear varies by hair growth, styling habits, and maintenance; we recommend follow-ups to adjust beads and ensure a secure, comfortable fit.

We recommend professional removal to avoid breakage. A stylist softens and opens beads with a removal tool, slides out extensions, and inspects hair for damage. If you must remove at home, consult us first for instructions and use proper tools to minimize risk.
