Types of Weft Extensions — Hand-Tied vs. Machine Weft
Hand-tied wefts are thinner, lighter, and more expensive. Machine wefts are thicker and more affordable. Here's how to choose.
Both weft methods have their place. Here's the honest comparison.
Hand-tied wefts
Sewn by hand with cotton thread. Thin, lightweight, virtually undetectable. Best for fine-to-medium hair. Higher hair cost, longer lifespan.
Machine wefts
Sewn by machine with a thicker seam. More affordable, more hair per weft. Best for medium-to-thick hair. Slightly bulkier at the row.
Wear time
Both methods reuse the same hair for 2–3 moveup cycles.
