What Are I-Tips?
I-tips are a type of hair extension that latches onto natural hair using flattened microbeads.
How Many I-Tip Hair Extensions Do I Need?
Each I-tip strand is about one gram of hair and each pack of hair contains 20 strands, so about 20 grams of hair. If you're looking to add length and volume to your hair, you will probably need around 160 strands of hair. If you're just concerned about volume, you can get away with as little as a single pack of hair.
Those interested in adding mermaid lengths will have rows and rows of extensions beaded to their natural hair. For those interested in volume only, there may only be one row, or strategically placed strands.
How Long Do I-Tip Hair Extensions Last?
As with most quality hair extensions, I-tip extensions need to be removed and reapplied about every three months. Because natural hair grows, if you leave extensions in without reapplication, the extensions will grow too far from the hair's base which can lead to matting.
We use Remy hair, so your extension hair can last for up to a year with proper care.
