What Are Weft Extensions? Let’s Keep It Simple
Ever heard someone say “weft extensions” and had no idea what they were talking about? Don’t worry—you’re not the only one! Let’s break it down in plain, everyday language.
A weft is basically a strip of hair. Imagine a ribbon made out of hair, and it’s stitched across the top to hold it all together. That stitched part is what gets attached to your real hair. These strips can be thick or thin, short or long—whatever fits your style.
So when someone talks about weft extensions, they’re talking about adding those hair strips to your own hair. It’s a great way to make your hair look longer or fuller—without waiting months or years for it to grow out.
There are different ways to attach weft extensions, but one of the most popular is called the sew-in method. It’s safe, it lasts, and it protects your natural hair.
How Do Sew In Weft Extensions Work?
Here’s how sew in wefts are done:
- First, a stylist braids a small section of your hair close to your scalp.
- Then they take the weft (that strip of hair) and sew it onto the braid using thread and a needle.
- That’s it! The weft stays put and blends right in with your real hair.
There’s no glue or tape involved, which is great for keeping your natural hair healthy. That’s one of the biggest reasons people love this method—it’s gentle and effective.
Why So Many People Love Weft Extensions
- They look real – If done right, no one can tell you’re wearing extensions.
- They stay in place – Sew in wefts can last 6 to 8 weeks if you take care of them.
- They’re easy to style – You can curl them, straighten them, and treat them like your own hair.
- They protect your hair – The braid underneath keeps your natural hair safe from heat and daily damage.
