This is the method I used for this service. A lot of people think a “loc detox” is just soaking your hair in something and calling it a day. But a proper detox is about actually removing buildup, residue, and anything sitting inside the locs, not just making it smell clean.

How often depends on: Your natural hair type The extension method you’re wearing Your lifestyle For some people, that may be once or twice a week. For others, it may be every two to three weeks. Extensions are not attached to your scalp, so they don’t receive natural oils the way your natural hair does. Because of that, they need added moisture to prevent dryness and tangling, especially if they are color-treated or were...]]></description><link>https://www.proximahairextensions.com/post/maintenance-matters</link><guid isPermaLink="false">698e602131ffa9c24362c3fe</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2026 23:22:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0e8a70_4949a4ce4e084f57a2f500e9d5432dd7~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Gina</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How I Install My Microlinks (Single vs. Double Bead)]]></title><description><![CDATA[In this video, I’m showing exactly how I install my microlink extensions and explaining the different placement options. There isn’t just one way to install microlinks. Some of it comes down to client preference, but I always explain what I recommend and why. Single vs. Double Bead Placement There are two ways I secure microlinks: Single Bead -  I typically use single beads around the outer layer and perimeter.

I personally don’t use that term because it can be misleading.Keratin bonds aren’t invisible. What makes them less noticeable is the bond size and how they’re placed. That’s why I call them Micro K-Tips . Micro K-Tips are traditional keratin fusion extensions, but the bonds are about one-third the size of a standard K-tip bond . Smaller bonds allow for better blending, more flexibility, and a more natural look at the root.
