Weft extensions are a versatile way to add length and volume using either machine or hand tied wefts. Machine wefts are stitched by sewing machine and can be trimmed to size without damaging the hair, while hand tied wefts are individually knotted by hand for a slimmer, more comfortable fit. Slimmer wefts sit closer to the head, feel more secure, and shed less over time.
Wefts can be attached to your natural hair using tiny micro rings or braids, creating a semi permanent result without glue or heat, and for a temporary option they can also be fitted with clips. With Russian hair and custom colour blending, our wefts achieve a natural look that is easy to maintain and reuse.

Weft hair extensions are a versatile way to achieve fuller, longer hair with a natural look. Because wefts cover a wider area of the head than strand by strand methods, the application is often quicker while still giving a seamless blend. Wefts also put less stress on individual strands, making them comfortable to wear. With the right installation and quality Russian hair, wefts can be reused multiple times, making them a cost-effective option for clients seeking both length and volume.
Both hand-tied and machine wefts have advantages. Hand tied wefts are slimmer and sit closer to the scalp, offering a more natural finish and increased comfort. They are created by blending strands from multiple Russian ponytails and sewing them together, giving the best possible colour match. Machine wefts are stronger and can be trimmed to size, making them highly versatile. The choice depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and the look you want to achieve.
Wefts are usually applied using micro rings, which hold the weft securely without glue or heat. This method spreads the weight across multiple strands, making it gentle on your natural hair. Other application methods include clips for temporary use, or braiding and sewing for certain styles, but micro rings are the most popular semi-permanent option as they are safe, reusable, and easy to maintain.
Yes, weft extensions can be suitable for fine hair, but they must be applied carefully to avoid putting stress on delicate strands. Hand tied wefts are particularly good for fine hair because they are slim and lightweight, lying flat against the scalp for a discreet result. During your consultation, we will advise whether wefts are the best method or if another technique, such as tapes, may be more suitable for your hair type.
With regular maintenance every 6 to 8 weeks, and proper care, the same wefts can last for years.
No, when professionally fitted wefts blend perfectly into your natural hair. Hand tied wefts are very slim and virtually undetectable, even if your hair is worn up. With careful colour matching and placement, wefts look and feel like your own hair.
Yes, you can wash and style your weft extensions just like your natural hair. We recommend using a sulphate-free shampoo and avoiding heavy oils at the roots to keep the rings secure. Heat styling is safe as long as you use a heat protectant spray. Always dry the roots thoroughly after washing to prevent moisture from weakening the bonds.
Our wefts are made exclusively from Russian coloured hair, which is naturally strong, soft, and multi-tonal. Hand tied wefts are created by blending hair from different ponytails to ensure a flawless colour match. Unlike mass-produced wefts, ours are crafted in small batches with double stitching for durability. Combined with professional application using micro rings, our wefts provide a comfortable, discreet, and long-lasting solution for clients who want beautiful, natural looking hair.
