Hand-Tied Hair Extensions: Let’s Hear the Facts.

Hand-Tied Hair Extensions, also known as Weft Extensions, involves hand-sewing the product into a comfortable beaded track along the scalp. This method utilises a weft consisting of multiple strands of hair, which are secured using a thread and a small bead or silicone-lined micro ring. Here are some key points to consider:

Application Process:

How does it work? Hand-Tied Hair Extensions involve applying them with meticulous precision and expertise. This technique entails creating horizontal sections of natural hair and securely sewing the wefts onto these sections using a needle and thread. It is crucial to entrust that this intricate process to a skilled professional stylist. At Coco21 Caringbah, you can trust that our Sydney Hair Extension specialists have the highest quality training as well as hair too.

Natural Look & Feel:

One of the main advantages of Hand-Tied Weft Extensions is their natural appearance. The wefts lie flat against the scalp, providing a seamless blend with your natural hair. Additionally, the lightweight nature of the wefts ensures that the extensions feel comfortable and less bulky.

Versatility:

Hand-Tied Weft Extensions offer versatility in styling. You can effortlessly customise our Micro-Tied Weft Extensions to achieve your preferred length, volume, and colour. These extensions offer versatility in styling, allowing you to easily create updo’s and ponytails without worrying about the wefts being noticeable. If you've tried other extension methods, like tapes, then you have probably struggled with trying to put your hair up in a pony tail without having tapes flip and poke out!

 

Next Up… Micro-Tied Hair Extensions (aka, The Saving Grace in The Extension World)

Can also be referred to as micro-ring or micro-link extensions in the hair industry. Micro-Tied Weft Extensions involve attaching individual strands of hair to your natural hair using tiny metal rings or beads. Here’s what you need to know about Micro-Tied Hair Extensions:

 

Application Process:

A professional stylist carefully threads a strand of natural hair through a metal ring or bead when applying Micro-Tied Weft Extensions. Then, they slide an extension strand through the ring and secure it in place. This process demands skill and precision, making it essential for a professional stylist to perform it.

 

No Damage:

Micro-Tied Weft Extensions are known for providing no damage to the natural hair. The Installation process avoids the use of heat and adhesive, reducing the risk of breakage or weakening of the natural hair shaft. Because of this, this method is particularly suitable for those with fine or fragile hair.

 

Flexibility and Longevity:

Micro-Tied Hair Extensions allow natural movement and flexibility, and they can last for up to 12 months with proper care. The extensions can be reapplied as the natural hair grows, making them a longer-term option for those seeking extended wear.

 

Choosing the Right Option:

Choosing the right option can be hard. So, when deciding between Hand-Tied Weft Extensions and Micro-Tied Weft Extensions, it’s essential to consider your specific needs and preferences. Here are a few factors to consider:

Hair Type:

Hand-Tied Weft Extensions work well for most hair types, including medium to thick hair. Whereas Micro-Tied Hair Extensions are suitable for all hair types, specifically fine to medium hair.

 

Maintenance:

Hand-Tied extensions may require more frequent maintenance, including tightening and repositioning. Whereas Micro-Tied Hair Extensions typically require less maintenance.
