HOW TO USE
Load, thread, pass. Faster beading with less effort.
- LOAD
Place a micro bead onto the tip of the bead stick, positioning it ready to thread.
- SECTION
Take a small, clean section of natural hair at the desired height and hold it taut between your fingers.
- THREAD
Pass the fine tip of the bead stick through the bead opening and loop it around the hair section, pulling it cleanly through the bead in a single smooth motion.
- POSITION
Slide the bead to the correct height on the strand and hand it off to the pliers for clamping.
FAQs
Bead sticks are used to thread individual strands of natural hair through micro beads during a micro ring or nano ring extension application. The fine tip of the stick picks up and guides the hair strand through the small hole in the bead, which is too tight to thread by hand. They are an essential tool for anyone applying bead-based extension methods.
The Professional Bead Sticks come as a pink and black duo pack, giving you two sticks as standard. Having a second stick to hand is practical during busy application sessions and means you always have a spare if one is misplaced mid-appointment.
Beading fast and accurately requires a stick that is light enough to handle for extended periods without fatigue and flexible enough to manoeuvre through the hair without snapping under pressure. These are specifically designed at the right weight and material ratio for efficient, comfortable beading throughout a full application.
Yes. The stick tip is fine enough to work through both micro ring and nano ring sized beads. If you work across both methods, one set of bead sticks covers both without the need for different tools.
Bead sticks are light consumable tools that can bend or lose their tip precision with heavy use. For a busy salon, having a few sets on hand as backups is sensible. At £5 for a duo pack, replacing them regularly is a low-cost way to ensure the beading stage of every application is clean and efficient.
