What is the difference between Screw Micro Beads, Silicone Micro Beads and Micro Tubes?

Screw Micro Beads:

  • Screw threading in inside to keep them from slipping
  • Smallest ring. Smaller than silicone rings and tubes
  • Holds very well without slipping
  • Good hold for hair that tends to be fine, slippery, or, tends to become oily fast
  • Does not damage hair

Silicone Micro Beads (Aluminum or Copper):

  • Silicone is very gentle on your own hair as it acts like a cushion between your own hair and ring
  • Good for hair prone to breakage.
  • Aluminum rings are a tiny bit thicker, but may hold tighter, with some types of hair, than copper rings
  • Copper is thinner and softer, more comfortable against the scalp for some
  • Good for hair that is very fragil, prone to breakage or overprocessed

Copper Micro Tubes:

  •  Copper is softer, easier to clamp shut
  •  Clamps flatter than all other rings
  •  Softer metal is more comfortable if you have a sensitive scalp
  •  Longer length keeps them from slipping

We strongly recommend using Fedex or UPS. It may seem a bit pricey, but you will receive your hair in ONLY approx. 3 business days after we ship and you have better tracking visibility. We think this is worth the bit extra! Consider for the same price, you can go out and eat a pizza and 1 glass of red wine...or, get your long lush hair ASAP!

Is there really such a thing a "Free Shipping"? No. Companies that offer Free Shipping, only add the price of shipping to the item. This means that the quality of the item is not as high as the price may suggest, because shipping has been added to it. UNFORTUNATELY, IN REALITY, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE SHIPPING.

Also, most so called "free shipping" takes more than 2-4 weeks for oversees shipping to Europe, without a tracking number or insurance! Protect your investment with DHL or FEDEX shipping.

L&B TIP: To save on FedEx/UPS shipping, we suggest you combine your order with a friend! We can ship multiple items for the same price;-D
