In the ever-evolving world of beauty and hair care, hair wefts have emerged as a popular choice for enhancing natural locks. However, with the rise in demand comes a variety of options, each with its unique features. In this guide, we’ll explore the differences between four main types of wefts: Machine Hair Weft, Genius Wefts, Flat Wefts, and Hand-Tied Wefts, helping you choose the perfect match for your hair.

Product Specifications

Machine Hair Weft typically comes in 100-gram units, offering a standard option for those seeking regular volume. Genius Wefts and Flat Wefts are lighter, weighing around 50 grams per piece, and ideal for those who prefer a more subtle enhancement.

Return Hair

Return hair, or short hair that sticks out from the weft, affects both the feel and appearance of the hair extensions. Machine Hair Wefts and Hand-Tied Wefts typically have return hair, whereas Genius and Flat Wefts do not, offering a smoother finish.

Ability to be Cut

Flexibility in customization is key for many users. Machine Hair Wefts can be cut but require glue to prevent unraveling. Genius and Flat Wefts offer more ease in cutting, whereas Hand-Tied Wefts are not designed to be cut, maintaining their integrity as crafted.
