Micro Rings / Mini Rings

So, this is the safest and when fitted correctly by your hair extension technician, the most discreet way of having hair extensions fitted. At Leeds Mobile Hair Extensions I use mini rings that are smaller than the usual micro rings used, this means they’re virtually undetectable and very lightweight for your hair. You won’t be disappointed with quality of the rings and how much you will barely feel you even have hair extensions fitted. No more of that heavy hair feeling weighing you down, at Leeds Mobile Hair Extensions, I pride myself in lifting each and every one of my girls up after fitting their hair extensions! 

Not only are these lightweight and discreet they are completely safe for your hair as there is no glue and nor heat involved which means this method can help your natural hair to grow. In order for this to happen you have to have a great hair extension specialist looking after your natural hair, I do this in your maintenance appointment. 

Maintaining this hair is so easy you’ll wonder why you haven’t been wearing your hair Extensions all your life! After care is given to each client but it’s very simple, the main rule is treat it as you would your own. 

A maintenance appointment is due between 8-10 weeks, to keep all your natural hair in tact I brush all the dead hair and knots out of each section, re-apply the strand of hair with a fresh ring back in its neat, precise section. All the strands of hair fitted are always in neatly spaced sections to promote natural hair growth, its important that the maintenance is kept up to to keep your natural hair healthy and of course.. growing! 

Root Mimic/Effect Tape

Tape in hair extensions

Why are tape in extensions so popular on the market today?!

The 2.5 gram strands of added volume gives you an undeniable confidence.  They are the most requested method world wide at the moment because of the low cost, lightweight feel and tape that is coloured to match the root of your hair and avoid any chance of being able to see them. 

Tape in hair extensions are the least expensive semi-permanent hair extension method, due to the structure of the tape wefts and how these hair extensions are applied in the hair. 

Most of my ladies actually forget that they are wearing tape in extensions because they are so lightweight and like the mini ring method don’t take much to maintain. 

I tape it in and you forget it, until about 6-10 weeks when its time to move them up. Clients with finer hair usually need less adhesive so as not to pull on the section of hair which means you can have the option of wearing a lighter weight weft of hair, that’s where my expertise comes in when my ladies with finer hair are struggling to make a decision! 


Please note - if you get cheaper non human tape in extensions you will regret this! This is because of the low quality hair and adhesive used in the manufacturing of cheaper hair, means they will slip out faster and the cheap hair will weigh your hair down. It’s is always best to use hair quality hair when purchasing tape in hair extensions.  

Fusion bonds / Itip keratin bonds

of the most well - known and oldest hair extension methods around. These methods are similar in that a keratin bond is used. To  attach of  as  this type of hair extensions, small sections of your own hair are gently pulled through small plastic shrink tubes also known as “Shrinkies”. Pre Bonded Hair Extensions strands are then placed inside these tubes. Heat is applied to the shrink tubes causing them to shrink around both your own hair and the hair extensions, holding the extension hair in place. The aim is to heat seal the hair extensions into position rather than glue them
