Your DIY starting point

The kit brings the installation essentials together:

See how it comes together

Micro links hold the feather and a small section of hair inside a bead. Follow your kit’s instructions, and open a step below for a quick overview.

1. Choose your placement

Lift the top layer of hair with a clip. Place the attachment underneath so it stays discreet.

2. Load the bead

Slide a silicone-lined micro link bead onto your loop tool. Choose a bead shade close to your hair color.

3. Thread the hair

Select a small section of hair, put it through the loop and pull it through the bead. Leave enough room for comfortable movement.

4. Insert your feather

Insert the feather’s narrow tip into the same bead alongside the hair. Point it in the direction your hair falls.

5. Close the bead

Use small pliers to gently close the bead. Check that the feather stays in place and the attachment feels comfortable.

6. Blend and style

Release the clipped hair and blend the feather into your layers. Keep the bead covered by the top layer.

Your attachment should feel comfortable. Reopen and adjust a bead that pulls or feels tight, or ask your stylist for help.

Wear it. Care for it. Make it yours again.

Everyday care

Wash and condition as usual. Brush gently near the attachment and avoid tugging or snagging. Follow your feather care instructions.

Remove or reposition

Gently reopen the flattened bead with pliers by squeezing in the opposite direction. Once open, slide the feather and bead off. Never pull on a closed bead.

Check the feather before reuse and replace worn beads.

A few things to know

Does the kit include feathers or pliers?

No. It includes silicone-lined micro link beads, a pink loop tool and printed instructions. Choose your feathers separately and have small pliers ready.

Which feathers should I start with?

A coordinated 6-piece designer set is an easy way to choose a color mix. Single feathers let you select each color yourself. Check each product for its available lengths and quantities.

Do I need glue?

No. Micro links hold the hair and feather together inside a bead that is closed with pliers.

Can a stylist help me install them?

Yes. Ask your stylist about micro link installation, removal or repositioning. Take your feathers and supplies with you.
