Sew-In Weaves 101
Hand-Wefting Basics
Wefts are Hollywood’s best kept secret for transitioning from short haircut one week to long-flowing hair the next! They also are a perfect way to create a new style while growing out your own natural hair, giving your hair a rest from chemical services or to add fullness & body. A weave is like a protective shield for your natural hair, protecting from the elements and giving you the option to cut, color, style or blow dry your hair without consequences to your own natural hair. They are damage free hair play!
Hand-Tied Wefts
If you're looking for a partial installation to add length or volume, then a hand-tied weft or hand-tied rows might fit the bill for a partial or full install. These come pre-cut, so do not cut them. Otherwise, they might shed. Hand-tied wefts are also preferable for thin or fine hair, as the weft is much thinner and not as bulky as a machine weft. Our hand-tied and beaded rows weigh 2 ounces per pack.
Machine Wefts
Machine wefts have a thicker track which is a better solution for women with thicker or coarse hair. The track can be cut and strategically placed to fit areas for your desired style. Machine wefts come in 4 ounce packs and are usually the best solution for partial or full sew-in weave installs.
Weft hair extensions are extensions that are sewn into your hair. They should be installed by you or a professional hairstylist. There are different ways to sew in the extensions, but the most popular way is to sew them in so they are hidden beneath your natural hair. This gives the illusion of longer, thicker hair. Weft hair extensions can be a great way to add length and volume to your hair. Hand-tied wefts have been gaining popularity over the years, there are several techniques included the beaded row method and the upcoming Perfect Locks Method launching in 2022.
With proper care, weft hair extensions can last for months. However, it's important to remove them periodically to clean the natural hair and prevent tangles. Additionally, the weight of the extensions can cause breakage if they are left in for too long. As a result, it's best to consult with a professional to determine how often to remove and reinstall the extensions. With proper care, weft hair extensions can give you the gorgeous, voluminous hair you've always wanted.
The actual hair extensions themselves can last for years and are reausable if they are high quality Remy hair, like the wefts here at Perfect Locks. Proper maintenance in required.
