Weft Hair Extensions
Hair wefts
Weft hair extensions can be made be hand or by a machine. The machine weft come in longer pieces that are cut to the correct size to fit your head. The hand made weft is custom made to fit your head. This is obviously better but also more expensive. Thick and heavy wefts can cause stress and tension to your hair and cause headaches or even make your hair fall out.
The most common ways of attachment:
- Sew in or braided - The weft is sewn on with a thread to your own braided (cornrow) hair. This method can be sensative to your scalp because of the tension from the braids and the weight of the weft. Especially if it is not done correctly. It is not recommended for fine thin hair. This method is commonly known as hair weave.
- Bonding - The weft is attached to your hair close to the skin with a special glue.
- Beads (linking) - The weft is attached to your own hair with small beads. Several strands of your hair are pulled through the beads which is tightened.
- Tape In - This works very much the same as Tape In hair extensions. This method will give the least tension to your hair and can be used with fine thin hair as long as the weft is not too heavy.
- Clip Ins - This is like Clip In hair extensions. Multiple clips are used to attach the weft to your hair. When the weft is heavy it can really pull your hair. It is not recommended to sleep with the clips on.
