WHAT IS A MACHINE WEFT?

Machine wefts are quite literally, a weft that is sewn by machine. A machine-sewn weft is made with a special sewing machine that connects all the hair onto one long weft. Most wefts are 3-4oz of hair and one continuous row. They can be cut to the length of row (around your noggin).

So how is a hand-sewn weft different? A hand-sewn weft is typically only 11-12" long and is sewn by hand. They are typically thin, but require multiple wefts to make one row of hair (usually 4+). It is NOT recommended to cut them. They are traditionally more expensive because of the labor cost to make them.

Which one is better? That depends on you! Machine wefts usually only require 2 wefts per row of hair, and hand sewn usually require 4+ and are pricier.

how is it installed?

Both weft styles are installed using a standard "hand-tied" method. Most often, you will have 2 rows of hair. Each row is sectioned thinly, and beads are secured onto your natural hair. The weft is then sewn (by hand - hand-sewn, get it?) onto the beads.

This method evenly distributes the added weight of your Laux, allows for smooth grow out of your natural hair, and blends flawlessly in a high pony.

Re-installs depend on personal preference, but most people go 8-16 weeks before moving their weft back up. The weft is then carefully removed from the beads, the beads are removed, and the process starts fresh!

What can you expect for pricing? While each stylist varies, you can expect to pay $250-350 for two rows of weft, depending on if you require removal, blending, or other services.
