You’re sure to fall in love with this new hair extension method in no time. Hand-tied Weft Extensions adds the perfect amount of length, fullness and thickness while blending seamlessly throughout your hair.
What are hand-tied wefts?
Hand-tied wefts are hand-sewn onto a braided, extremely fine and thin weft. This attention to detail ensures that hair is strongly secured and does not shed. Hand tied wefts are thinner, flatter, and more flexible than machine-tied wefts (commonly used for clip in extensions), allowing the hair extensions to lay closer to the scalp and provide a more natural look and feel.
How are they applied?
An experienced stylist will create beaded rows and then proceed to weave/sew hand-tied wefts to the beads and subsequently your natural hair. Because silicone lined beads are used, there are less points of contact and the hair is cushioned with your natural hair than any other semi-permanent method on the market. Not only does this maintain the health of your hair but also results in ultimate comfort. You can expect application to take anywhere between 1.5 - 2.5 hours depending on how many wefts and rows are used. Included in every hair extension install appointment is a complimentary cut and blend of your new extensions to ensure you leave with seamless and beautiful hair that you can wear both straight and wavy.
How are they maintained?
Similar to other extensions, you will need tightening appointments every 6 to 8 weeks (dependant on how fast your hair grows). At these appointments your stylist will remove the extensions, reapply the same extension hair and touch up your extension hair cut for blending. Because no adhesives are used with hand-tied wefts, you do not need to worry about specific products making your extensions slip and/or prematurely breaking down the tabs. Products with sulfates in them are highly discouraged from being used when extensions are applied due to drying out the hair and reducing the lifespan.
What is the hair lifespan?
Hand-tied extension lifespan varies on multiple factors such as at home maintenance, following professional maintenance schedule, and using professional product lines. On average handtied wefts last 6-8 months before new hair is needing to be replaced. This is subjective to the wearer as some may replace sooner, or later depending on the wearer.
How long do they take to install?
Hand-tied wefts take longer to apply than other extension methods which results in more time in your stylist’s chair and more of an investment for application. This method of extensions is a very niche market in London, Ontario and are a special skill that requires multiple days of training and experience to achieve the proper and safe results. An average one row service takes 1.5h including cut and style. An average 2 row install takes 2h 15m including cut and style.
Can they be worn in a ponytail?
If top knots, ponytails and certain hairstyles are important to you, hand-tied wefts could be a better option as they are easier to conceal when wearing your hair up! If you are hiding a bad haircut, or chemical/heat damage around the face area, sometimes applying hand-tied wefts are difficult to conceal these areas and you lack the coverage for high ponytails but they can still be pulled back off the shoulder.
How much do they cost?
Hand-tied extensions are a completely customized approach and require a thorough consultation to determine the amount of wefts needed, your length goal and the condition/type of natural hair you are starting with. The thicker your natural hair the more wefts and rows are needed to blend your heavy weight line at the bottom. The longer length you go in relation to your natural hair expect to need more than average wefts to avoid the dreaded "thin end/stringy" look. If any customizations are required ombre, root melts or hand painted colour this may increase the cost slightly.
