FAQs

What is the difference between hand tied and sew in weft? ›

Hand tied wefts are a very high-quality product due to the artisanal, labor-intensive production method. They are lighter, thinner and stronger than machine wefts, making them a perfect option for discreet, tension-free hair extensions. Machine wefts are thicker and heavier with a wider seam at the top.

How long do the extensions last? 8 to 10 weeks varying on the client's hair growth. This is recommended to eliminate matting, frizzing and tangling, and ensures the extension is always fresh and close to the scalp.

No, they will not damage your hair. Hand tied hair extensions can actually help you maintain the health of your hair and grow it out as long as you take care of them correctly.

We recommend maintenance every 4-6 weeks as your hair grows out, with a re application of new hair every 12 -18 weeks. With proper maintenance, your hand tied weft will last 6-12 months.

The best hair extensions for fine hair are either micro rings or miniature micro rings. This comes from their shared reputation for seamlessly blending with hair and their minimal bulkiness – making them a practical choice.

Cost. Hand tied wefts cost more than machine tied, because with any artisan product they are much more labor intensive to make. It takes much more time for a person to produce the hair by hand than it does to feeding hair into a machine.

Minimal damage.

Weft hair extensions are sewn into your natural hair, which means there's no need for chemicals or heat. Some wefts are attached using beads, which could damage thinner hair. Sewn-in wefts, however, are ideal for most hair types and won't damage your natural locks.

To give an estimate idea on price, the average investment for hand-tied extension hair is 2 rows for 22", which is a total of $1700. To install 2 rows, it would be $400 and the hair costs $1300 - this is not including color.

How do you sleep with hand tied wefts? ›

Braid Your Hair Before Bedtime

To reduce the risks of waking up with damaged hair extensions, simply tie your hair in a braid or loose ponytail with a soft hair scrunchie that is made from velvet or silk material. These two options help prevent your strands from tangling.

Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is definitely a hand tied extension hack! By sleeping on a silk pillowcase, you drastically reduce your chance of tangling or matting. A silk pillowcase will reduce the friction of your hand tied extensions against your pillow as you toss and turn at night.

Machine wefts are cheaper than hand-tied wefts, as they are machine-made and take less time to make, which makes them less costly than hand-tied wefts. The tracks are thicker and more durable than hand-tied wefts, as they are machine-made. They generally shed less hair.

Hand tied extensions vs sew in

With a traditional sew in, a machine weft is used. Hand tied methods are not a protective style because natural hair is still exposed between the foundation rows. Also, beads to create the foundation and then the hand tied wefts are sewn around that foundation.

Weft hair extensions are applied similarly to sew in weft extensions. They can be styled, curled and straightened like natural hair. The difference is that they are made of human hair instead of synthetic fibers, which makes them more durable and realistic looking than other types of extension.

Weft Hair Extensions offer a variety of benefits that traditional methods, such as beads and tapes, cannot provide. One of the biggest advantages of using Weft Hair Extensions is that they require absolutely NO glue… no glue means no mess, no fuss, and no potential to damage your natural hair with harsh chemicals.
