When closed correctly with pliers, the bead grips without cutting into the hair. When reopened, the natural hair strand lifts out clean with zero damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy silicone lining matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e An unlined bead grips purely through compression against the hair shaft — this creates friction points that damage the cuticle over time. The silicone sleeve distributes the closure pressure evenly, cushioning the hair and extending the life of the natural hair at the attachment point. It also adds grip, meaning the bead holds longer before needing to be re-closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3mm vs 5mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 5mm standard bead is used in most butterfly weft installs — appropriate for most hair densities. The 3mm nano bead sits virtually flat against the scalp and is used for finer hair and areas where discretion is critical — hairlines, partings and nape areas where a standard bead would show. Your ALIO-certified installer determines which size is correct for your hair and placement. Do not purchase without installer guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 beads per pack. Available in 5 shades — always match the bead colour to your root for invisible results.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALIO","offers":[{"title":"5mm Standard \/ Beige","offer_id":42390541533266,"sku":"ACC-BD5-BEI","price":199.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm Standard \/ Blonde","offer_id":42390541566034,"sku":"ACC-BD5-BLO","price":199.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm Standard \/ Brown","offer_id":42390541598802,"sku":"ACC-BD5-BRO","price":199.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm Standard \/ Dark Brown","offer_id":42390541631570,"sku":"ACC-BD5-DAR","price":199.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5mm Standard \/ Black","offer_id":42390541664338,"sku":"ACC-BD5-BLA","price":199.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3mm Nano \/ Beige","offer_id":42390541697106,"sku":"ACC-BD3-BEI","price":229.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3mm Nano \/ Blonde","offer_id":42390541729874,"sku":"ACC-BD3-BLO","price":229.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3mm Nano \/ Brown","offer_id":42390541762642,"sku":"ACC-BD3-BRO","price":229.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3mm Nano \/ Dark Brown","offer_id":42390541795410,"sku":"ACC-BD3-DAR","price":229.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3mm Nano \/ Black","offer_id":42390541828178,"sku":"ACC-BD3-BLA","price":229.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.alio.co.za\/products\/alio-micro-beads-silicone","provider":"Alio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
