What makes our weft extensions special

Whether you call them human hair wefts, hair wefts or weft extensions: they all mean the same thing, a continuous strip of real hair.

• 100 % human hair, silky and natural in how it falls
• Length according to your choice, full all the way to the ends
• Wide weft, easy to work with
• For hair extensions, added density or individual hairstyles
• Available in many colors, from natural brown to platinum blonde

Which weft type suits which hair?

Genius Weft is handmade and has no thick seam. The weft can be cut at any point without hair falling out. This is the thinnest variant and the right choice for fine natural hair.

Flat Weft also lies very flat against the head, but it is machine-reinforced and therefore sturdier.

Machine Weft is the classic machine-made weft: a thicker seam, but stable and more affordable. The standard for strong natural hair.

Butterfly Weft combines a thin profile with high density, and Feather Weft is especially light and soft in the blend.

Applications

Human hair wefts can be sewn in, attached with micro rings or made into Clip-ins. They are suitable for hair salons as well as for private use. With the right care, they stay soft, shiny and long-lasting.

Special feature

The wefts can be individually trimmed and adjusted without the hair losing quality. Perfect for voluminous looks and natural transitions.

How much weft hair do I need?

For added density alone, 100 grams are usually enough. For full length extensions, 150 to 200 grams are typical, and more if you have thick natural hair or from 60 centimeters upward. Unlike with Bondings, the amount is not calculated per strand but by weight. That is why wefts are often the most affordable method for larger quantities. How far 70 cm reaches on the head is shown in Human Hair Extensions in 70 cm, and how late you can order for the holidays is explained in Extensions for Christmas.

The five Weft types explained

A weft is not a single strand but a continuous strip of hair: many hairs bound together along one edge at the top. It is not placed strand by strand, but as a row. All its advantages and disadvantages come from this — very few attachment points, a great deal of hair at once.

• Machine Weft — machine-sewn, the sturdiest edge, a thicker band. The classic with the best value for money. Cannot be cut freely: every cut edge must be sealed, otherwise it will shed. For strong hair and lots of volume.
• Flat Weft — a flat, thin edge. Adds noticeably less bulk on the head and doesn’t show through. For medium hair density.
• Genius Weft — pulled through the hair by hand, an extremely thin edge. Can be cut freely without fraying — so the row can be adapted exactly to the shape of your head. For fine hair and individual head shapes.
• Feather Weft — especially light, very low weight per centimeter. Falls airy and looks less compact. For very fine hair and a natural fall.
• Butterfly Weft — a thin band with high hair density, with the hair folded upward. Lots of fullness with a flat root.

The most important difference in practice: can it be cut freely or not. A Machine Weft has to be adapted to the shape of your head by folding or using several pieces, while a Genius Weft is simply cut to size. This gives a flatter fit at the temples and the nape, where the head becomes narrower. All five compared can be found in Wefts and Weft Extensions.

How wefts are attached

The usual method in the salon is sewing in. First, small anchors are placed in your natural hair — usually micro rings or beads in a row — and the weft is sewn onto them. No heat and no glue. Depending on the amount, each side of the head needs two to four such rows.

What you should bring to your first appointment: time. One to two hours for a full set is normal. The row planning at the start determines the result — rows placed too high show through when you put your hair up, and rows placed too low add bulk at the nape. Say beforehand whether you often wear your hair up.

Who wefts are right for

For lots of volume in one appointment. Because one row brings a great deal of hair at once, the jump in the result is bigger than with any strand method. And because the weight rests on one long edge instead of individual points, nothing pulls on the root at a single spot.

For a sensitive scalp, because it is done without heat and without glue. If you have reacted to keratin Bondings with an irritated scalp, this is often the better-tolerated solution.

Less suitable for very short hair — the row has to be concealed — and for very thin top hair, because the hair above the row has to be strong enough to cover it. If your hair is thinning over a large area, that is first a question for a doctor and only then one for the method.

How much hair do you need?

The amount is calculated in grams, not in meters of band. For fine hair 100 to 125 grams, for normal density 125 to 200 grams, for thick hair up to 250 grams — and a little extra for every ten centimeters of additional length. The complete table by length and hair density can be found in How many grams do I need?

Durability and care

The stitching lasts six to eight weeks, after which the row moves down with your hair growth and is loosened and reset higher up. The hair itself lasts one to two years with good care and survives several rounds.

When it comes to care, wefts have a weak point of their own that other methods don’t have: the row itself. Shampoo and scalp oil collect under the stitching if it isn’t rinsed out thoroughly — and that is exactly where hardly any air gets in during drying. That’s why the rules are especially strict here: rinse thoroughly, blow-dry the roots along the rows, never sleep with wet hair. The instructions can be found at Washing extensions.

For removal, the sewing thread is unpicked and the anchors are opened. This is quick and chemical-free, but not something to do yourself: if you cut the thread blindly, you catch your natural hair. The hair stays intact and is reused.

Weft, hair weft, human hair weft — the same thing, three names

The terms are used interchangeably, which can be confusing when searching. They always mean the same thing: a hair weft is a continuous strip of hair in which many hairs are bound together along one edge at the top. In the industry it is called a weft; some people say weft, others hair weft, and anyone who wants to stress that it isn’t synthetic hair writes human hair wefts — often as one word.

All of these words mean the product on this page. We offer human hair wefts in five Weft types and in all 19 lengths from 40 to 130 centimeters.

The difference from the other methods is important:

• A hair weft is a continuous strip that is sewn in as a row — few attachment points, a lot of hair at once.
• Human hair strands and Bondings are individual strands, each attached separately.
• Tape Extensions are two thin panels that are stuck onto a section of your own hair.

What human hair wefts cost — and what the price depends on

With a weft, you don’t pay for a piece of band, but for an amount of hair in a particular length. That’s why it is calculated in grams, not in centimeters of band length. Three things determine the price:

• The length. The biggest factor. Long hair that doesn’t thin out at the tips is rare — so the price rises noticeably with every step, and steeply above 100 cm.
• The amount in grams. For fine hair 100 to 125 g, for normal density 125 to 200 g, for thick hair up to 250 g.
• The tip fullness. 50, 80 or 95 to 100 percent — the more of the shorter hairs are sorted out, the fuller the weft stays at the bottom and the more elaborate it is.

If you are looking for affordable human hair wefts, the biggest lever is not with the provider but in your own selection: a shorter length or one level less tip fullness changes the price much more than any discount. What your combination costs is calculated by the cost calculator — and what a low price reveals about quality can be found in How to recognize good hair.

For hair salons, volume pricing from 500 grams is available via Business customers.

Can I put in human hair wefts myself?

Not for permanent wear — sewing onto a row of micro rings belongs in practiced hands, and if you cut the thread blindly during removal, you catch your natural hair. If you want to put them in and take them out yourself, Clip-in Extensions are the better choice: the same idea of a continuous strip, only with clips instead of stitching.

What is the difference between wefts and Tape Extensions?

The attachment and the number of attachment points. A hair weft is sewn in as a row — two to four rows per side of the head are enough for a full set. Tapes are applied individually, which takes 30 to 60 pieces. Wefts last six to eight weeks until they are reset, tapes four to eight. And wefts get by without glue and without heat, which is the deciding factor for a sensitive scalp.

Frequently asked questions about wefts

What is the difference between Genius Weft and Machine Weft?

The edge. Genius Weft is pulled by hand, very thin and can be cut freely without fraying. Machine Weft is machine-sewn, sturdier and thicker, but must be sealed after cutting. Genius Weft lies flatter, while Machine Weft is less sensitive. In detail: Genius Weft or Machine Weft.

Are wefts harmful to my natural hair?

Not if the amount and fit are right. Because the weight rests on one long edge and not on individual points, the load is actually more even than with strand methods. Damage comes from sewing too tightly, too much weight and resetting too late — not from the method.

Do wefts work on short hair?

From about fifteen centimeters of natural hair, it looks clean. More important than the length is the top hair: there has to be enough hair above to cover the row.

How often do they need to be reset?

Every six to eight weeks. The row moves down with your hair growth, is opened and reset higher up. The hair stays.

Can I wear a ponytail with wefts?

Yes, if the rows were planned correctly. That is exactly why you should say before your first appointment whether you often wear your hair up. Rows placed too high are visible in a ponytail — this can be avoided beforehand and afterwards only corrected by resetting.

Which lengths are available?

Nineteen lengths in five-centimeter steps, from 40 to 130 centimeters — including the extra-long lengths that are hardly available elsewhere. Where your desired length ends is shown in Extension lengths from 40 to 130 cm.

Texture: from straight to curly

Every length and every color is available in six textures. Choose one that matches your own hair — otherwise the difference will be noticeable as soon as you wear your hair down:

• Straight
• Slightly wavy
• Normal wavy
• Very wavy
• Permed
• Curly

Because it’s real hair, you can straighten or curl any texture afterwards, too — with heat protection and preferably at 160 to 180 degrees.
