Micro Ring Hair Extensions
Micro ring is the classic cold-bond install method. Silicone-lined aluminum beads clamp around a natural hair strand and an extension strand together. No heat, no glue, no chemical bond. Wears 3–5 months and re-installs cleanly.
How Micro Ring Extensions Work
A silicone-lined aluminum bead is threaded onto a small section of natural hair. An extension strand slides in alongside. Flat-jaw pliers clamp the bead flat, and the silicone lining grips the hair without slipping.
Every micro ring extension shipped by VeeJeen passes through the same 4-gate QC that every other hair extension on our floor passes. Mixed-SKU orders — tape-in paired with K-tip paired with hand-tied weft — all meet the same cuticle alignment, color tolerance, and shed-rate thresholds, so the salon tech installing them works to one consistent spec rather than product-by-product guesswork.
The micro ring extension is salon-floor-tested across 400+ accounts in 25 countries. Install times, wear duration, and reinstall cycles that we quote are measured against real salon data from working accounts — not vendor-side laboratory tests. Numbers you can quote to your own salon team without caveat.
- Silicone-lined bead. The silicone stops the aluminum from tearing hair or slipping.
- Three bead sizes. 3.0mm for fine hair, 4.0mm standard, 5.0mm for thick or coarse hair.
- Cold-bond install. No heat, no glue. Safe for chemically-treated or fragile hair.
- Reinstall clean. Open bead, remove, reinstall on new hair. Extensions last 3–5 reinstall cycles.
Silicone-Lined Aluminum
Four Micro Ring Configurations
Match bead size and strand weight to hair density.
Micro Ring 0.8g x 3mm
Smallest bead, lightest strand. For fine natural hair where a larger bead would show.
Micro Ring 1.0g x 4mm
Standard salon spec. Fits 80% of client hair densities. Most reordered SKU.
Micro Ring 1.0g x 5mm
Larger bead for coarse or thick natural hair. More grip surface, longer wear.
Micro Ring 0.8g x 4mm
Standard bead, lighter strand. Good for volume-add on medium-density hair.

How Micro Ring Installs
Standard cold-bond install. No heat, no glue, no chemical bond.
Section Hair
Section natural hair in horizontal rows, 1cm apart.
Thread Bead
Slide a bead onto a small section (5–10 strands) of natural hair.
Insert Extension
Slide the extension strand into the bead alongside the natural hair.
Clamp Flat
Flat-jaw pliers clamp the bead into an oval. Silicone lining grips both strands.
Repeat
100 strands = full head. 90–120 min install depending on stylist speed.
How Every Pack Is Built
Documented QC from raw material intake through sealed pack.
Cuticle Alignment Verify
40x microscope check on 6 strands per bundle. 100% root-to-tip alignment required or bundle rejects at intake. Verified by 40x microscope on 6 strands per intake bundle; any reversed direction rejects the whole bundle.
Remy Grade Confirm
Cross-check against source ledger. Reject any bundle showing mixed cuticle direction — the signature of non-Remy hair blended in. Full-cuticle Remy, cuticle direction matched root-to-tip across 100% of strands at intake.
Tensile Pull Test
Digital force gauge, 5-strand sample per hour. Threshold >60N single-strand pull to break. Fails trigger station halt. Threshold > 60N per single strand; batches failing twice are reworked and retested, not shipped on waiver.
Spectrometer Color Match
X-Rite Ci64 reflectance spectrometer. Every dyed batch measured against reference swatch to ΔE < 2.0. X-Rite Ci64 unit, calibrated weekly against certified white tile; cross-batch readings archived 12 months.
Shed Weight Measurement
0.01g scale. Comb 50 strokes, weigh loss. Shed rate must stay < 3% of pack weight. Above — reject pack. ± 2% weight tolerance per pack at 0.5g scale resolution; signed QC card inside every pack verifies.
Moisture Content
Gravimetric analyzer at 105°C. Threshold < 12%. Above — re-dry batch and retest before it moves forward. Gravimetric moisture analyzer at 105°C; threshold < 12% content before every pack seal.
Wash Fastness Simulation
10-cycle home laundry rig. No detectable color loss. Fails send batch back to color lab for reformulation. 10-cycle salon wash simulation on retained sample; batches showing any color loss are reworked, not shipped.
Tangle Resistance Test
Dry-comb and wet-comb behavior graded 1–5 scale. Only grades 4 and 5 ship. Standard for every SKU. Dry-comb and wet-comb behavior graded on a 1–5 scale; only grades 4 and 5 ship from the final QC gate.
Pack Weight Verify
Every pack weighed against declared spec. Tolerance ± 2% at 0.5g resolution. Signed QC card inside every pack. Every pack weighed against declared spec, tolerance ± 2% at 0.5g resolution, with signed QC card inside.
Batch Traceability
Every carton labeled with batch number that tracks back through color lot, tying station, and source ledger. Serial batch number per carton; links back to source ledger, color lot, tying station, pack shift.
