What weft extensions are
Weft extensions are wefts of hair attached to a track braided into your hair, or hand-tied wefts that sit close to the scalp. Fitting is skilled work and results depend on the stylist.
Best for
Thicker hair, or anyone who wants the most volume.
Worth knowing
- Wefts can carry a lot of hair, which gives dramatic volume.
- The method needs enough hair to anchor to and a stylist experienced in this technique.
- Tracks need tightening as your hair grows, so plan regular visits.
- Ask how the weft will sit when your hair is up.
Looking after them
Keep the track clean and dry. Brush gently from the ends. Book re-tightening as advised.
