MONTI METHODS.
MICROLINK I-TIP.
I-Tips are one of the most versatile methods in the extension world and a favorite of Monti Extensionists.
Why, you ask? For so many reasons:
They can be worn up to 12 weeks, they have 1 : 1 equal weight, they are safe for fine hair, there is full rotation of each individual extension, you can use any products, you can run your fingers completely through your hair from scalp to ends, there is no heat, glue or solvents used to attach or remove them and they are lightweight. Best of all, they are so comfortable.
TAPE-IN.
Tape-In extensions are one of the quickest extension methods which makes them one of the most popular.
Just a few "sandwiches" give tons of volume. They can be worn up to 6-8 weeks and are reusable many times. A great choice for gals with thick hair. Monti Extensions offers a light-weight single-sided method for those with fine hair but prefer a Tape-In installation. It's all about equal weight, comfort and no damage.
HAND-TIED and MACHINE WEFTS.
Wefts are one of the trendiest methods right now because of how undetectable they can be.
At Monti Extensions, we preach and teach no tight tension, no over-direction and equal weight. We modified the application method to give clients a comfortable, damage-free installation. Monti's waterfall beaded weft method creates a stronger foundation and better support than other weft methods for longer wear and comfort for your clients. Our waterfall weft technique can be used with hand-tied or machine wefts for customized installs.
MONTI HAIR.
NATURAL LAYERED.
Layered hair is single-drawn hair that contains different lengths within a bundle creating a seamless blend for a natural layered look.
NATURAL LUXE.
Our double-drawn hair is non-layered allowing for fuller ends that do not taper. Perfect for thicker hair and creating one-length styles that do not need layering.
NATURAL CURLY.
Monti Curly hair is all natural, never chemically curled. The 100% natural texture can range from a tight wave to loose curl.
TEXTURED.
Our curly textured hair is ethically sourced and steamed permed without chemicals to give springy curls that last. The relaxed hair is softly textured to blend perfectly.
MONTI EXTENSIONS.
MICRO-LINK I-TIPS.
Monti I-Tips are ethically sourced from 100% Indian remy hair with cuticles intact.
Our individual extensions come in 2 sizes and are engineered with a shielded, reusable tip that will not crack or shed. Tips revert back into a cylinder when heat is applied allowing for easy reinstallation which sets us apart from the competition and makes them a better investment for you and your clients.
TAPE-IN.
There are 3 things to consider when choosing tape extensions: the hair, the tab and the tape.
Hair: Monti Tape-In's are ethically sourced Indian remy hair.
Tabs: Our tabs are created to be flexible yet sturdy so they don't fall apart when old tape is pulled off for reinstallation.
Tape: Our tape is secure, not sticky, and removal is clean! A real time-saver!
MACHINE WEFTS.
Monti Machine Wefts have a thicker base, don't shed and can be comfortably installed using our waterfall beaded weft damage-free method. Machine wefts are considered a more traditional weft perfect for thicker hair and available in virgin hair in all textures.
HAND-TIED ROWS.
Our lightweight Hand-Tied Wefts are 100% Indian remy silicone-free hair that is hand crafted into one continuous weft.
They are light, thin tracks that don't shed and can be comfortably installed using our waterfall beaded weft damage-free method. Available in all colors.
DEB MONTI.
Since 2002 Deb Monti has been passionately practicing the art of hair extensions in her award winning Milvali Salons. In 2016, Monti decided it was time share her tips and tricks and train stylists in the proper way to service extension clients for damage-free installs using superior quality hair and comfortable techniques. She designed a program to educate stylists in thorough extension education, created an ethically sourced hair extension line that is truly the best hair on the market and curated a team of talented professional educators.
