Everything You Need to Know About Weft Hair Extensions
If you’re ready to level up your hair game with added volume, length, and glam, weft hair extensions might be exactly what you’re looking for. At Hair Studio 7, we know how much your hair impacts your confidence—and we’re here to help you achieve that effortlessly beautiful look with high-quality, expertly installed extensions.
Whether you’re new to extensions or just curious about what makes wefts so popular, we’ve got all the answers. Let’s break it down.
What Are Weft Hair Extensions?
Weft hair extensions are bundles of hair sewn or “wefted” together at the top and left loose at the bottom. Think of it as a curtain of hair that can be applied using a few different methods, including sew-in, beaded rows, and even tape-ins in some cases. Unlike individual strand extensions, wefts cover more surface area, meaning fewer attachment points and less tension on your natural hair.
There are two main types: machine wefts and hand-tied wefts. Machine wefts are thicker and more durable, while hand-tied wefts are lighter, more flexible, and ideal for those with finer hair.
Why Clients Love Weft Extensions
One of the biggest reasons our clients at Hair Studio 7 love weft extensions is the natural look and feel they offer. When applied correctly by a trained professional, weft extensions blend seamlessly into your natural hair and can be customized in length, color, and volume to suit your style goals.
Here’s what makes them a favorite:
- Fuller hair instantly – perfect for anyone dealing with thinning or flat hair
- Length without the wait – skip the years of growing and get long, luxurious locks now
- Style freedom – curl, wave, straighten, or braid—just like your real hair
- Long-lasting wear – with proper care, weft hair extensions can last 6–8 weeks before needing a move-up
Who Are Weft Extensions Best For?
Weft hair extensions are ideal for people who want maximum volume and a seamless blend. They’re especially great if:
- You’ve got medium to thick natural hair
- You want less damage than traditional glue or keratin bonds
- You’re looking for a more affordable long-term extension option
If your hair is on the finer side, don’t worry—we can still make it work. Our stylists will assess your natural hair and help you decide whether hand-tied or another extension type will give you the best result.

Caring for Your Weft Hair Extensions
Like anything worth having, weft extensions need a little TLC. But don’t worry—it’s easier than you think. A few basics:
- Use sulfate-free products to protect the weft and your natural hair
- Brush gently and often to prevent tangling
- Avoid sleeping with wet hair
- Visit every 6–8 weeks for a move-up and maintenance
