Weft hair extensions: How to choose and apply them

Weft hair extensions are a popular way to add length and volume to your hair. They are made from real human hair that is sewn onto a thin fabric strip. Weft extensions can be applied using a variety of methods, including clip-ins, tape-ins, and sew-ins.

Choosing weft hair extensions

There are a few things to consider when choosing weft hair extensions, including:

• The type of hair: Weft hair extensions can be made from different types of hair, including human hair, synthetic hair, and a blend of human and synthetic hair. Human hair extensions are the most expensive, but they are also the most natural-looking and durable. Synthetic hair extensions are less expensive, but they may not look as natural as human hair extensions and they may not last as long.
• The color: Weft hair extensions come in a variety of colors to match your natural hair color. It is important to choose a color that is a close match to your own hair color, or you may end up with extensions that look unnatural.
• The length: Weft hair extensions come in a variety of lengths to achieve your desired look. The length of the extensions will depend on your natural hair length and the style you want to achieve.
• The application method: Weft hair extensions can be applied using a variety of methods. Clip-ins are the easiest to apply, but they are also the least secure. Tape-ins are more secure than clip-ins, but they can damage your natural hair if they are not applied correctly. Sew-ins are the most secure method of applying weft hair extensions, but they require a professional stylist to apply.

Applying weft hair extensions

Once you have chosen the right weft hair extensions, you will need to apply them. The application method will depend on the type of extensions you have chosen.

Clip-in extensions are the easiest to apply. Simply clip the extensions into your hair at the desired location. Tape-in extensions are also relatively easy to apply. You will need to apply a small piece of tape to the weft of the extension and then press the extension into your hair. Sew-in extensions require a professional stylist to apply. The stylist will sew the extensions into your hair using a needle and thread.
