Hair Extension Locks

Hair extension beads, locks and rings are different names used for the small attachments that secure certain professional hair extension methods without heat or glue. The exact terminology varies by system, so the key is choosing the attachment designed for the extension method you’re fitting.

Within the Remi Cachet range, nano rings are designed for Nano Tips, Mini Locks for Mini Tips, and Ultra Locks for Ultra Tips and Pro Tips. Silicone rings are available for suitable ring and weft applications. Choosing the correct beads for hair extensions helps you achieve the intended fit and finish for each method.

Hair extension beads and rings don’t have a fixed lifespan. Their condition should be checked at each maintenance or refit appointment, with any worn, misshapen or loose attachments replaced as needed.

Some Remi Cachet attachments can be reused when they remain in suitable condition. Mini Locks, for example, are designed to be reusable during refitting appointments. Rather than working to a set number of weeks, assess each ring or lock when you refit your client’s extensions and replace it when it no longer provides the correct fit or grip.

The best hair extension beads are the ones designed for the method you’re fitting and suited to your client’s hair. For Remi Cachet applications, use nano rings with nano tips, Mini Locks with Mini Tips, and Ultra Lockswith Ultra Tips or Pro Tips. Silicone rings are available in 3.5mm and 5mm sizes for suitable ring and weft applications.

Colour is also part of a professional fit. Remi Cachet rings and locks are available in a range of shades, helping you choose an attachment that sits discreetly within your client’s natural hair.

Professional hair extension beads provide a secure attachment without heat or glue, but correct product selection, application and removal are essential. Always use the ring or lock specified for the extension system you’re fitting and follow the correct professional technique for that method.

During maintenance appointments, check the condition and positioning of each attachment and replace any bead, ring or lock that is no longer suitable for refitting. For application and removal across Remi Cachet rings and locks, use the Pro Micro Pliers designed for the range.

Nano rings are smaller than traditional micro rings and are used to create a more discreet attachment. Remi Cachet Nano Rings are silicone-lined and designed for use with Nano Tips, creating a miniature bond that can be easily hidden within your client’s own hair.

Larger silicone-lined rings are available in 3.5mm and 5mm sizes for other suitable ring and weft applications. The right option depends on the extension method you’re fitting, so choose the ring designed for that specific Remi Cachet system.
