Comparing Extension Techniques

Weft

Techniques

Individual Techniques

Non Sewn Beaded Weft

  • Most gentle weft technique, very flat, least noticed weft technique

  • Great for all hair types

  • Weft extensions are thicker than individual extensions - more hair for the money!

  • Must tighten every 4-6 weeks

  • ​Can be put in a pony tail but requires an "end check" to make sure no tracks are showing

Individual Keratin Shrink Links

  • Great for fine-medium hair

  • Hair runs on the finer side, so guests with thicker hair should purchase more strands.

  • Can't be tightened​.

  • ​Can be easily put up into a ponytail with little to no extensions showing

  • Potential to lose strands easier than weft methods

Clip In Weft

  • Great for those who want versatility

  • Since you don't sleep in the hair or wash it, temporary quality usually lasts a while, therefore not breaking the bank

  • Can be put in and removed at your discretion​

  • Great for younger guests, good beginner technique

  • ​Can be put in a pony tail but requires an "end check" to make sure no tracks are showing

Beaded Sew In Weft
