What Are Microlinks, I-Tips, and F-Tips?
If you’ve been searching for microlinks in Lagos or wondering if I-tips are good for natural hair, you’re in the right place.
At Hello Texture, we specialize in strand-by-strand extension systems that give you volume, length, and flexibility — without glue, braids, or tension.
Let’s break down the difference between Microlinks, I-Tips, and F-Tips — and help you figure out which is best for your hair type, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
Microlinks: The Classic No-Braid Option
Microlinks involve attaching wefts or bundles to small sections of your natural hair using tiny silicone-lined beads.
-
Ideal for clients who want fullness and length
-
Can be installed as beaded tracks or individual strands
-
No glue, no braids, no thread
-
Requires natural hair to be left out and blended
Perfect for: Clients with medium to thick natural hair looking for a full, flexible style that blends well.
I-Tips: Strand-by-Strand Flexibility
I-Tips are pre-bonded strands of extension hair attached to your own hair using microbeads. They’re discreet, durable, and versatile.
-
Installed strand by strand
-
Suitable for fine to medium hair
-
More movement than wefts
-
Great for natural and relaxed textures
Perfect for: Clients who want a longer-term install that’s virtually undetectable, especially around the perimeter.
F-Tips: Flat, Flexible, and Lightweight
F-Tips are Hello Texture’s premium adaptation of I-Tips — designed for textured hair and clients looking for the most discreet finish.
-
Flatter, lighter bonds for minimal bulk
-
Blends beautifully with natural coils or relaxed hair
-
Easier to maintain around partings and edges
-
Excellent for clients who wear middle parts or half-up styles
Perfect for: Clients with fine or fragile edges who still want length without bulk or tension.
