How do hand-tied wefts work? Read on to see how our expert stylists create this custom look.
What Are Hand-Tied Weft Extensions?
Braidless weave extension techniques using hand tied wefts is a revolutinoary method that works for almost everyone. These hand-tied weft extensions represent a revolutionary technique for achieving natural-looking, seamless hair extensions in Calgary. Unlike other methods like tape-ins, fusion bonds, or clip-ins rely on glues, clips or waxes, hand-tied wefts use only tiny braids and threads to secure real human hair wefts to your own locks. It is a natural and easy-to-maintain look that we here at Rush Salon are certified and confident that we can find a solution for anyone’s extension needs.
Here's how it works: first, your stylist separates your hair into hundreds of miniature box braids across your entire head. These tiny braids act as anchor points for the wefted hair extensions.
Next, ultrathin wefts made of luxurious human hair are meticulously hand-sewn into each tiny braid near the scalp. An experienced stylist manually loops a needle and thread through your natural hair and the wefted hair, tying them together into a secure knot.
It's a process that requires supreme precision. But this careful hand-tying method allows the stylist to customize the spacing, tightness, and integration process so that the extensions blend perfectly with your natural hair.
Once installed by a pro, hand-tied wefts move, feel, and style exactly like your own hair. There are no clips, bonds, or glue bumps, giving away the fact that you have extensions. Even under close examination, no one will believe your newfound length and volume came from anything but your own luscious locks!
Why Consider Hand-Tied Weft Extensions?
So why are so many in Calgary looking to hand-tied weft extensions? The reasons are many, but here are a few:
Flawless, Natural Look
Hand-tied wefts deliver the most seamless, natural look of any extension method today. The wefts are cut and installed with such precision that they mimic your exact hair texture and thickness from root to tip.
Sensational Comfort
Since hand-tied wefts are sewn into tiny box braids, they're ultra-lightweight and comfortable. You won't even notice them on your head. Kiss those painful tight braids or pinchy clips goodbye! With hand-tied wefts, you can sleep, exercise, and style as normal.
Customizable Styling Freedom
Braid, curl, straighten, ponytail - you name it! Hand-tied wefts move and style precisely like your own hair, making it easy to create a totally unique look. And if you want the look and feel of thick, long tresses, hand-tied wefts make it possible.
Long Lasting When Maintained
Hand-tied wefts last up to a year when properly cared for. As your natural hair grows out, maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks allow for re-tightening and adjusting so they continue looking fab. Follow the stylist's care instructions and you'll get maximum use from your investment.
Gentle on Natural Hair
Many extension techniques can damage hair by pulling, gluing or heating the bonds. But hand-tied wefts are manually secured near the roots with thread only. This prevents breakage and shedding associated with some other methods. Your locks stay healthy and strong.
What Hair Types Work Best For Hand-Tied Wefts?
Hand-tied weft extensions are versatile and can work with many different hair types and textures. Here are some of the best candidates for hand-tied wefts:
Straight hair - Hand-tied wefts seamlessly blend with straight locks to create the appearance of naturally long, straight hair.
Fine or thin hair - Hand-tied wefts add fullness and volume without being detectable for those with naturally fine or thin hair.
Thick hair - The customizable nature of hand-tied wefts allows them to blend into thick hair easily.
Chemically treated hair - Hand-tied wefts are a gentle option for damaged, colored, or processed hair.
