Small hair extension accessories

The ‘Other’ category includes practical auxiliary accessories used when applying, removing and preparing hair extensions. These are products which are not the main component of a particular method, but which facilitate precise, organised and comfortable work.

Depending on our current range, you’ll find here, amongst other things, protective templates, small clips, crochet hooks, needles and other small tools used with the keratin method, micro-rings, nano-rings, sleeves and other hair extension techniques.

Protective templates for the keratin method

Protective templates are placed between the scalp and the area where the bond is being applied. They help to separate the natural strand from the rest of the hair and protect the working area whilst using the bonding tool.

Using them makes it easier to keep the sections tidy and to position individual strands precisely. The range includes, amongst other things, round protective templates designed for keratin hair extensions. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

How to use protective templates?

1. Separate a thin strand of your natural hair.
2. Thread the strand through the hole in the template.
3. Position the guard as close as possible to the bonding site.
4. Secure the template so that it does not move whilst you are working.
5. Once the bond has been made and has cooled down, carefully remove the protective template.

The template does not replace the need for caution when working with a hot device. The tips of the welder should not come into contact with the skin or the template itself for any length of time.

Clips and small fasteners

Small clips can be used to secure elements of hair systems, fringes, toppers or other products fitted using the Clip-In method. The range includes small clips in various colours, which can be matched to the shade of the base or your natural hair. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Before use, it is worth checking the width, colour and method of attachment of the clip. The fastening should be secure, but must not have any sharp edges or cause excessive tension on the hair.

Crochet hooks and loop tools for threading hair

Crochet hooks and looped tools are used to pull a thin strand of natural hair through a microring, nanoring or sleeve. They allow you to create individual bonds without having to manually thread the hair through a very small opening.

Some crochet hooks have a lockable latch, which helps to prevent individual hairs from slipping out whilst being threaded through. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

How do you use a ring crochet hook?

1. Fit a ring or sleeve onto the tip of the tool.
2. Separate a suitably thin strand of natural hair.
3. Grasp the strand with the crochet hook or pull it through the loop.
4. Thread the hair through the ring.
5. Place the end of the hair extension inside the ring.
6. Tighten the fastening with the appropriate pliers.

The thickness of the strand must match the diameter of the ring. Too much hair will make it difficult to pull through, whilst too little may put excessive strain on individual hairs.

Needles for sewn-in hair wefts

Special curved needles can be used when attaching weft-type hair. They make it easier to guide the thread whilst sewing the tape onto the prepared base.

Depending on the technique, C- or J-shaped needles, amongst others, are used. The choice of needle should take into account the type of attachment, the thickness of the thread and the stylist’s experience. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

How to choose the right accessory?

Before purchasing, you should determine the method for which the product will be used:

• for keratin, choose protective templates and separation accessories,
• for micro-rings and nano-rings, choose a crochet hook or a looping tool,
• for sleeves, choose a tool that matches their diameter,
• for sewn-in tape hair, choose the correct needle and thread,
• for hair systems, choose clips that match in size and colour.

Small accessories are not always universal. Before ordering, it is worth checking their dimensions and compatibility with the method you are using.

Accessories for professional stylists

Products in this category are primarily intended for hair extension stylists, hairdressing salons and those involved in the preparation, restoration and maintenance of hair extensions.

Well-chosen accessories help to maintain even sections, appropriate spacing between bonds and orderliness whilst working. However, they are no substitute for knowledge or correct application technique.

Cleaning and storing accessories

Once you have finished working, tools should be cleaned of hair, keratin, adhesive and any cosmetic residues. Reusable accessories should be stored in a dry, closed organiser.

Damaged crochet hooks, bent needles, cracked templates and clips with sharp edges should be replaced. Using worn-out tools can make the work more difficult and increase the risk of pulling on natural hair.
