What is weft hair?
Weft hair is human hair extensions sewn onto a continuous strip, also known as a weft. This base allows the professional to cut, adapt and distribute the hair according to the client's head, the desired volume, and the desired length.
Unlike techniques made with small individual strands, the weft delivers more hair per section. For this reason, it is widely used for transformations with more volume, more length, and to fill in sparse ends.
The final result depends on diagnosis, weft cutting, positioning, amount of grams, colour, and maintenance. When applied with excessive weight or without respecting natural density, it can cause discomfort, root tension, and an artificial result.
What is the history of weft hair?
The weft is one of the most traditional and versatile ways to prepare hair for lengthening. For years, it was widely used by professionals because it allowed for manual adaptation, sewing, braiding, micro-beads, and other attachment techniques. Today it remains relevant, especially for salons that need the freedom to create personalised results.
What does the client need to know before buying?
Weft hair is not a technique for improvisation. It requires a professional who knows how to distribute weight, protect the roots, hide the base, and blend natural hair with the extension. Before buying, confirm colour, grams, length, and whether your natural hair can support the desired result.
