I’m so glad you asked! NBR stands for Natural Beaded Row Hair Extensions. NBR is an extremely intricate extension installation method that utilizes hand-tied hair. NBR is the perfect solution for anyone looking for more volume and or more length for their hair.
Lexi chooses to only offer this method because she believes it truly is the best out for herself and her clients. She has seen significant health and hair growth for herself and her clients while wearing NBR.
There’s a few major differences of NBR compared to other methods on the market. NBR is very commonly asked for since it’s suitable for many hair types. This method was initially created to be gentler while not slipping out for finer haired guests in mind, but has evolved to be a solution for virtually anyone. NBR Extensions when done correctly with a Licensed Artist like Lexi have many benefits.
Key Benefits
Foundation
The foundation of NBR is created using beads and string.
There is very minimal points of contact on your scalp (about 10-15 beads per row) in comparison to 150+ bonds when wearing other methods.
With NBR the extension hair is only stitched to the string of the track and never through your natural hair.
Many other beaded methods create the track using more of the client’s natural hair. Then the extension hair is attached by stitching through those sections, talk about ouch and damage.
No glue or adhesive is attached to your hair making for an extremely comfortable wearing and removal experience.
Hand-tied Hair
Hand-tied hair is the highest quality extension hair on the market.
It’s the most flat laying extension hair out there, making for less bulk at the top of the row.
Hand-tied hair is also much thinner in comparison to machine wefts and only comes in individual wefts.
Each row can be made up of 4-6 hand-tied wefts depending on client density and desired result.
This allows for your artist to create the most customized look matching your color and texture seamlessly.
Comfortability
The placement of NBR is extremely unique. The placement allows for coverage all around the head, not just in the back. You will be able to have hair around your face especially in those areas where you need it the most (unlike those way to common it hurts – expensive mullets).
The placement also allows for extreme comfortability while not limiting your styles. You can wear a high ponytail, a high bun, gym pony, half-up styles, braids, updo’s – you name it and NBR adds all of the length and volume to make them all even better.
Customization
The color doesn’t stop at your natural hair here. Not only are multiple colors of wefts chosen for the most seamless result – all wefts are then taken a step further and custom colored to seamlessly match.
