Hair Extension Methods used by Ashlye
We offer a variety of high-end extension methods to suit different hair types, lifestyles, and aesthetic goals. Below is a breakdown of each method I specialize in, including who is an ideal candidate for each.
Hidden Bead Method (Sew-In Wefts)
What it is:
The hidden bead method uses rows of silicone-lined beads to anchor wefts of hair securely to your natural hair. Once sewn in, the beads and tracks are concealed, allowing for a natural-looking finish—even in ponytails or updos.
Best For:
Clients with medium to thick hair who want fullness and length with low-maintenance upkeep. Great for those who like to wear their hair up or styled in different ways.
Maintenance:
Move-ups every 6–8 weeks depending on hair growth and lifestyle.
I-Tip Extensions (Strand-by-Strand)
What it is:
I-Tip extensions use small individual strands of extension hair that are attached with tiny beads—no glue or heat involved. They offer flexibility and natural movement while blending beautifully with your own hair.
Best For:
Clients with medium to thick density who want volume or length without commitment to a permanent bond. Perfect for those who want freedom in styling and a lighter feel.
Maintenance:
Move-ups recommended every 6–8 weeks.
Micro Keratin Bond Extensions
What it is:
These are ultra-small keratin bonds applied strand-by-strand using gentle heat. The bonds are nearly invisible and offer seamless blending, especially for those with finer hair.
Best For:
Ideal for fine to medium hair types. Great for clients who want a longer-lasting, low-maintenance extension solution without bulky attachments.
Maintenance:
Lasts 3–4 months with proper at-home care. Bonds are not reusable, in most cases.
V-Light Extensions (Beam Light Technology)
What it is:
A cutting-edge method using the V-Light tool to attach extensions with an ultra-lightweight, transparent adhesive cured by UV light. This technique is completely non-damaging and virtually undetectable—even on the most delicate hair.
Best For:
Perfect for extra fine, thinning, or fragile hair. A great choice for filling in hairlines, bald spots, or adding subtle volume without tension.
Maintenance:
Touch-ups needed every 3–6 weeks. Lightweight and comfortable enough for daily wear
