Choosing the right wefts

Choosing the Right Wefts

The perfect install starts with the right foundation.

We know not all hair – or clients – are the same. That’s why choosing the right type of weft matters just as much as the color match. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the best wefts for every client, every time.

Hand-Tied Wefts

Best for: Fine to medium hair, clients wanting minimal bulk
Why stylists love them:

• Ultra-flat and seamless

• Ideal for stacking without creating weight lines

• Must be cut at the fold — not the track — to avoid unraveling

Pro tip: Great for clients who want length and wear their hair up often.

Machine-Tied Wefts

Best for: Medium to thick hair, high-density installs
Why stylists love them:

• More durable and long-lasting

• Can be cut anywhere without fraying

• Adds volume with fewer rows

Pro tip: Perfect for volume queens or clients who love a full, dramatic look.

Genius / Hybrid Wefts

Best for: Clients who want the invisibility of hand-tied with the flexibility of machine-tied

Why stylists love them:

• Can be cut anywhere

• No return hair = no itching

• Still lies flat but gives more freedom

 

Pro tip: Great for clients with sensitive scalps or ultra-specific install patterns.

A Few Things to Consider:

• Always factor in density, lifestyle, and hair health when choosing wefts.

• Don’t over-weft fine hair — sometimes less really is more.

• Keep backup wefts in similar shades for seamless blending on install day.
