Weft hair extensions are significantly lighter and softer, providing a natural appeal that blends in with your existing hair. As the name suggests, hand-tied weft hair extensions refer to those hand-sewn. Unlike other applications, hand-tied extensions are durable and light, featuring smaller wefts or curtains. A weft is a collection of hair strands nicely set on a piece of fabric. They are attached to the owner's hair using various techniques. Why hand tied weft extensions? When finished, weft hair extensions should form a full, blunt perimeter just like tape-in extensions. Some of the key benefits of hand tied weft hair extensions include: A natural appeal that blends with existing hair Light and easy on the scalp Soft to touch Requires no tape, glue or heat Lasts longer than most styles If you choose 100% Remy human hair, you can wash, dry, straighten, curl and style with heating tools How to apply hand-tied weft hair extension Hand-sewn weft hair extensions require existing hai...

Tape-in hair extensions are ideal for clients who desire the versatility of longer, fuller hair and the flexibility to try different styles without changing their natural hair. Tape-ins don't require the extensive, demanding installation process; the commitment, or the expense of other types of extensions such as sew-ins or fused/bonded method. Conversely, tape-ins are more durable than temporary, non-adhesive clip-in extensions. Tape-in extensions apply just as the name suggests: they are affixed to the hair with medical-grade adhesive tape. Tape-ins are simple to install and to remove without damaging the hair. They can be installed in an hour or less, sometimes in as little as half an hour, and require no additional tools (i.e no needle and thread like sew-ins). Also, tape-ins are reusable when installed and cared for properly. More than other types of extensions, tape-ins adhere much closer and more evenly against the head. It helps that the base of a tape-in hair weft tends to...
