I-TIPS INSTALLATION GUIDE

Also known as Pro-tips, are individual extensions which resemble the tip of a shoe lace. Each tip of hair is usually secured with micro rings or cylinders to strands of your natural hair. This allows stylists to more precisely add length or color to specific areas depending on the needs of the client.
