Weft Hair Extension Methods

What are Weft Hair Extensions?

Weft hair extensions or machine weft extensions are one long piece of hair extensions sewn together on a long strip.

This strip can be cut up into smaller pieces to fit onto a person’s head. This can be attached via microbeads, or by sewing into a braid by a professional hairdresser, several rows can be added until the desired thickness is achieved.

Weave hair extensions via the braided method can be worn up to eight weeks depending on the hair growth and how well they are looked after, hygiene is paramount due to not being able to wash the natural hair properly. It is highly recommended to give your hair a two-month break in between to help reduce damage to the hair and hair follicle. They need to be carefully removed, keeping in mind that there will be a build-up of hair over time from natural hair loss, so don’t be alarmed when a lot comes out, this is normal.

Beaded method wefts are a quick and easy way to add length and thickness. The weft is attached to the natural hair via clamping on a bead; this can last 4-6 weeks before it needs moving up, depending on hair growth and how well they have been looked after. Although there is more regular upkeep required with this method, it’s very quick and cost-effective, and there is reduced damage to the hair. It is also great for a temporary solution if only needed for a short time, as its quick to remove.
