In this blog post, we'll delve into the step-by-step processes for applying different types of hair extensions, ensuring you get the most out of your luxurious locks.

1. Genius Wefts Application

What Are Genius Wefts? Genius Wefts are designed to combine the best attributes of hand-tied and flat wefts. They are almost as thin as hand-tied wefts, can be cut for easy customization, and have no return hairs, making them incredibly comfortable and versatile.

Application Process:

1. Preparation: Start by sectioning the hair horizontally, ensuring the sections are neat and even.
2. Foundation: Create a tension-free foundation using aluminum beads placed close to the scalp.
3. Attachment: Sew the wefts to the foundation with nylon or polyester thread, covering the beads from both the top and bottom to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.

2. Hand-Tied Wefts Application

What Are Hand-Tied Wefts? Hand-tied wefts are meticulously knotted with fine thread to create ultra-thin wefts that lay flat against the scalp. They are ideal for clients with fine hair and those seeking a natural look.

Application Process:

1. Sectioning: Divide the hair into horizontal sections.
2. Foundation: Attach the hand-tied wefts by creating a beaded foundation. Ensure the beads are spaced evenly to distribute the weight of the extensions.
3. Sewing: Carefully sew the wefts onto the foundation, making sure to avoid any tension that could cause discomfort or damage.

3. Flat Wefts Application

What Are Flat Wefts? Flat wefts offer the thinness of hand-tied wefts while allowing for the customization of traditional machine wefts. They are designed to lay close to the scalp for discreet wear and have no return hairs, making them perfect for sensitive scalps.

Application Process:

1. Sectioning: Create horizontal sections of hair.
2. Foundation: Use aluminum beads to create a foundation close to the scalp.
3. Attachment: Sew the flat wefts onto the foundation, ensuring they lay flat and are securely attached.

4. Traditional Wefts Application

What Are Traditional Wefts? Traditional wefts are reinforced with triple-head stitching, making them durable and shed-free. They can be cut to any desired width and are suitable for various application methods.

Application Process:

1. Preparation: Section the hair horizontally.
2. Foundation: Create a foundation using either beads or braids, depending on the desired method.
3. Sewing: Sew the wefts onto the foundation, ensuring the weight is evenly distributed and the extensions are secure.

5. Pro-Weft Installation Method

What Is Pro-Weft? The Pro-Weft installation method uses aluminum beads to create a tension-free foundation, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

Application Process:

1. Sectioning: Divide the hair into neat horizontal sections.
2. Foundation: Attach aluminum beads close to the scalp to create the foundation.
3. Sewing: Sew the wefts to the foundation using nylon or polyester thread, covering the beads from both the top and bottom.

6. Waterfall Method

What Is the Waterfall Method? The Waterfall method involves creating a foundation by pulling hair through beads and dropping every second section down or including it in the following bead. This method can create a unique look but has limitations regarding maintenance and drying.

Application Process:

1. Sectioning: Section the hair horizontally.
2. Foundation: Create a foundation by pulling hair through beads and alternating sections.
3. Attachment: Sew the wefts onto the foundation, ensuring they are secure.

7. Natural Beaded Row (NBR) Method

What Is NBR? The Natural Beaded Row method involves using beads at fewer contact points and stitching the wefts to thread instead of a bead, resulting in a more natural look.

Application Process:

1. Sectioning: Create horizontal sections of hair.
2. Foundation: Attach beads with thread to create the foundation.
3. Sewing: Sew the wefts onto the thread foundation, ensuring the weight is evenly distributed.

8. No-Stitch Method

What Is the No-Stitch Method? The No-Stitch method involves pulling natural hair and extension hair through a bead to secure it to the head, without using any thread.

Application Process:

1. Sectioning: Divide the hair into horizontal sections.
2. Foundation: Place the weft and pull hair through beads to secure.
3. Attachment: Ensure the beads are tightly secured to keep the wefts in place.
