Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to have my Showpony Mini Micro Bead Hair Extensions reinstalled?

Showpony Hair Extensions are designed to be removed and reinstalled every 4-6 weeks. Although the Bead Connection may last longer, this is what we have found to be the safest refitting interval to maintain the health of the natural hair your extension is attached to. Showpony Professional only endorses safe extension wear and will not encourage practices that compromise the quality of your natural hair.

 

What attachment products/beads do I use for Mini Micro Bead Hair Extensions?

Showpony Professional has specifically designed our Mini Micro bead Beads to fit Showpony Mini Microbead Hair Extensions. They come in 3 shades, in jars of 1000.

Can I reuse the beads when I have my Showpony Hair Extensions moved up?

No, the beads need to be squeezed flat to hold within the natural hair and reopened in the opposite direction to release for moving up or removing the Hair Extensions. The clamping deteriorates the elasticity of the metal in the bead, so opening and closing the bead multiple times may cause the bead to collapse on itself in the hair. It is always best to use new beads to avoid this.

 

Will Showpony Mini Micro Bead Hair Extensions suit my hair?

Showpony Mini Micro Bead Hair Extensions are best suited to people with Medium to Thick hair.

How are Showpony Mini Micro Bead Hair Extensions attached?

A small section of natural hair is threaded through the top of a bead, then a strand of extension with a durable silicone tip on the top (similar to the look of the end of a shoelace) is then threaded into the bottom of the bead. The bead is then pressed closed to hold the tip tight to the natural hair.

How Many Grams of Hair is in 1 Packet of Mini Micro Bead Hair Extensions?

Each packet comes with 25 strands, with a total of 25 grams per pack in 20’’ and 30g for 26’’.
