Can you use regular micro beads on the rubbery part of the bond, not the plastic fishwire part, if you didn’t want to use the nano ring, without slippage too?

You can absolutely use them as regular I-tip prebonded strands if you remove the flex-tip bond - but you might break my heart. The flex-tips are so good! Either way, the hair is amazing - so you will love the product even if you don't use the flex-tips. :)
