INSTALL METHOD AND KIT
-
The Micro Link Method, also known as the Invisible Bead Technique, uses only a weft, a bead, and the client's hair. Unlike a braid-less sew-in, there is no thread used to attach the weft to the client's hair. True to its name, the bead in a Micro Link install is hidden from the naked eye, creating the illusion of not wearing extensions. This method offers a more natural, flat, seamless appearance for clients wearing extensions.

Live Model Training
The goal of FTG's 1 on 1 training is to provide you with hands-on experience in installing the technique on a live model. While practicing the skill on a mannequin is useful, it does not fully capture the essence of the technique. The hands-on portion of the training is the key to truly mastering the technique!

You will Need 1 Model
Your model should arrive by 1pm and be prepared to stay until 6pm.
The model will be used for a full Micro Link Installation.
Please choose your model wisely!
Before bringing them to class, submit a picture of your client's hair to ensure they meet the "Model Requirements".
The Model Requirements are in the following Tabs.
If you cannot find a model, one can be provided for you.

Low Density
Density affects How long it takes and how much hair we Use.
How Long it Takes:
We have 5 hours to complete an entire install. The more hair they have the longer it takes.
How Much Hair We Use:
Your Kit comes with 200 grams that is more than enough to finish a dow density client.

Collar Bone Length
Length affects Placement and the Seamless Look
Placement:
We need enough length to b able to create some versatility. If the hair is too short we can't.
Seamless Look:
Your Kit comes with 18" Hair, your clients hair can't be too long or short to create the look.

Natural 1B Color ONLY
Color affects The Blend and The Finish Look.
The Blend:
The Extensions in your Kit are a 1B so your client needs to be 1B as well.
The Finish Look:
This is will be your first model to show potential clients. If the color doesn't match it won't work.
