Top 4 Methods For Installing Hair Wefts
Directly Sew in Weft Hair Extensions
This technique involves sewing the weft onto a tight cornrow (a flat braid very close to the scalp) for superior stability. It’s ideal for a secure, durable fit that offers a natural-looking blend with your own hair. Best for thick hair that can handle the weight of braids.
Directly Glue in Weft Hair Extensions
Apply a special adhesive directly to the weft and scalp or a hair part. This offers a quick application for temporary wear (e.g., a few days to a week) without sewing.
Add Clips to The Hair Wefts
Small, secure clips are sewn onto the top of the weft. These wefts simply snap open and closed onto sections of your natural hair. This method is perfect for immediate length and volume, is non-damaging, and can be removed nightly.
Add Microbeads to The Hair Wefts
Tiny, cylindrical beads are used to loop and clamp small sections of the weft and your natural hair together. This lightweight and reusable method doesn’t require heat, glue, or braiding, making it a great damage-free choice, especially for fine hair.
Comparison: Choosing Your Installation Method
| Method | Difficulty | Best For Hair Type | Wear Duration | Key Benefit |
| Sew-In | Professional | Thick, dense hair | 6-8 weeks | Maximum security & seamless look |
| Glue-In | Intermediate | Most types (patch test first) | 1-2 weeks | Quick, temporary transformation |
| Clip-In | Beginner | All types | Daily wear | Instant, damage-free volume |
| Microbeads | Intermediate | Fine to medium hair | 4-6 weeks | Reusable & minimal stress on hair |
