Flat Weft Extensions are a cross between hand tied and machine-tied wefts, and we call them Hybrid Wefts. They combine the best features of both types of hair extensions into a single revolutionary weft that allows you to achieve an ultra-flat lace weft attachment that caters to the discreetness and comfort of hand tied wefts while also providing the flexibility, customization abilities, and density of machine wefts for all hair textures from fine to thick.

Hybrid Wefts are available at Salons in 20-inch lengths in both 50 and 100 grams, depending on your preferred appearance and volume. Flat weft extensions are thin and simple to hide without seeming bulky at the roots, as well as being comfortable to wear. Flat weft extensions are best for people who have medium to thick hair, but if you have thin hair but a lot of it, you should be able to hide them well enough to get a volumized effect.

Flat weft hair extensions are easier to apply than hand tied hair extensions since they can be trimmed and modified, making them more economical. However, because they are thinner and more delicate, they take longer to apply than machine wefts. They need to be reinstalled every 6-8 weeks, just like hand tied, to keep the appearance and your capacity to conceal them.

How to Install?

Flat weft extensions are one of the most popular extensions on the market right now. As a result, understanding how to install this extension is crucial. Flat weft extensions, as we all know, are a versatile product with a variety of installation options. To keep the hair in place, hairstylists employ clips, tapes, beads, or stitching. They will employ the strategy with which they are well-versed. Now, we'll show you how to wear this hair system with clips in a straightforward approach.

• First, you must decide where you will install the flat weft hair extensions. Then knot the remainder of your hair to keep it neat.

• You stitch several little clips to the hair extension's selvage. Keep in mind that the color of these clips is similar to the hair system's color.

• Align your natural strands with the hair extension. Clip your hair to keep the system from falling out. Make the extension appear as natural as possible by adjusting it. When sleeping, unclip these little clips to remove the hair. The flat weft extensions is extremely light, giving consumers a pleasant experience. Clips allow you to add additional hair thickness while also allowing you to put the extension to your natural hair in seconds. You may also easily remove them at any moment.

Other application approaches

If you're not familiar with this approach, tape or silicon beads can be used instead. Micro silicone beads, for example, may be used to link hair extensions strand by strand and secure your natural locks. It mixes in perfectly with your natural hair and gives you the style you've always wanted. Tape can keep your tiny sealed thin flat silk weave in place for a month. Wearers may enjoy their lovely hair at all hours of the day and night. All you have to do now is apply the glue to the extension's seam and secure it to your hair.

You may utilize these application methods to achieve your ideal hair style without causing harm to your tresses. Hair extensions may be trimmed to fit your hair. Remember not to use too many clips or beads on the weft because this might create tangling at the hair roots.

Learn more about the many ways you may use your new flat weft extensions now that you've gotten them. They provide great versatility by allowing you to utilize these hair extensions in any way you like. As a result, they are highly regarded among hair stylists all around the world.

Flat Weft Extensions are extremely versatile since they may be attached in a variety of ways, including with clips, tape, or stitching.

1. CLIPS

The use of clips allows you to quickly connect the extensions to your hair. You may also take them down at any moment. To do so, just stitch the little clips onto the selvage. Make sure the clips are the same color as the extensions.

2. TAPES

Hair extensions may be attached with tape and can endure for months, allowing you to wear them day and night. Our Extension Tapes are attached to the seam of the weft, and the hair pieces are then glued into your hair.

3. SEWING

Finally, our flat weft extensions may be sewed right into your hair. To do this, just collect your hair into a ponytail that rests close to your head. Then stitch the hair piece's seam to it directly. You'll want to use a needle and thread manufactured particularly for extensions.

Maintain the hair extensions using flat wefts

This extension is a terrific alternative to waiting for your natural hair to grow, but it requires maintenance and protection. So, what are your options? Remember that this is not your natural hair, and you must handle it with care. After around 6-8 weeks, you visit a hair salon for a checkup. Your hairstylist will assist you with tightening and adjusting the silk weft, which will take around 30 minutes.

Your hair system should be reapplied after many examinations. Keep in mind that you will need to reapply. Visiting a hair salon and working with a hairdresser will help you secure the extension closer to your scalp. You can conduct the process yourself, but we recommend hiring an expert. Also, use suitable shampoos to clean your hair. Because the hair isn't genuine, utilize hair products that are free of chemicals like paraben and alcohol. Shampoos of poor quality can easily damage and dry the weft. To keep extensions moisturized and shiny, use conditioner. Don't wash your hair too frequently to avoid shedding and tangling. After you've discovered the ideal shampoo for your hair, continue with it.

Can flat weft extensions be dyed?

In general, yes. However, we do not propose dying hair extensions because the hair has already been depigmented, making bleaching impossible. If you're going to color your hair extensions, stick to products that are mild and devoid of ammonia. Regrettably, we are unable to guarantee the outcome. Because the strands of hair are created from 100 percent actual human hair, they are unique, just like every human individual.

Tips to Make Your Extensions Last!

• Cleanse

You may need to lightly wash your flat weft extensions. I make care to gently wash my hair extensions every two weeks whenever I wear them.

When it comes to washing, you should use a mild conditioner to assist release knots rather than shampoo.

Your hair extensions won't lose their luster if you use a little conditioner! If you're having trouble brushing your hair, consider applying a conditioner to soften the hair and remove the knotted ends.

• Don't Wear Them Too Long

When it comes to flat weft extensions, one of the most essential tips to follow is not to wear them for too long. Although certain extensions may be worn for up to a year, this does not imply you should do so.

You may remove them, clean them, and then replace them. What matters is that you get them out of the house and give them a break.

The more time you spend wearing extensions, the more difficult it is to remove build-up and maintain them so they don't get dull, unclean, or dry.

Storing Hair Extensions

Putting away your flat weft extensions takes only a few minutes, but those few minutes may make a huge impact in the quality and longevity of your extensions. Brushing your extensions before putting them away is always a good idea. Always store your extensions away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry location (like a closet, cabinet or dresser drawer). To avoid mold and other bacteria from forming, make sure your extensions are totally dry before storing them.

The storage box that your extensions came in is one option for storing them. You can also use an airtight container or a shoe box as an alternative. After brushing out your extensions, bind the hair in a ponytail around the base of the wefts with a hair tie, then carefully roll the extensions into a circle and insert them inside the box.

Products to Avoid

When it comes to taking care of your extensions, one of the most important things to remember is to use the right products. This will determine whether or not your extensions tangle or remain soft and controllable. Make sure you don't notice the phrases SLS, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Alcohol Denat, Ethanol, SD Alcohol 40, Propanol, Isopropyl, and Propyl in the ingredient list.

It's essential to get sulfate- and alcohol-free products. These substances deplete the hair's natural oils, making it drier and more susceptible to tangling and matting. Long-term usage of these substances might compromise the integrity of the hair, severely reducing the lifespan of your hair extensions. Remember that sulfate-free products may not generate much lather due to the precise compounds used to make those soapy suds, but they will clean your flat weft extensions just as well as sulfate-containing products without stripping the hair of moisture.

Before you buy anything, always do one easy thing...flip it over! Many items have sulphates and alcohol in their formulations.

Washing your Extensions

It's important to moisturize your extensions as much as possible before washing them. Because hair extensions don't get the same natural nutrients and oils as our own hair, it's crucial to keep them nourished and moisturized by utilizing alcohol and sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Sulfates and alcohol deplete the natural oils in the hair, making it drier and more prone to tangling and matting.

Before and after shampooing, we recommend using a moisturizing sulfate-free and alcohol-free conditioner. You may even skip the shampoo and just use conditioner to co-wash your extensions! When washing, be gentle with the extensions and avoid rubbing them forcefully. Always finish by soaking the extensions in cold water to seal in moisture. After you've finished, gently squeeze any extra water from the extensions and avoid rubbing your extensions dry with a towel.

Drying

We don't recommend blow-drying your extensions after each wash since it dries them out and makes them more prone to breaking. If you must blow-dry your extensions, make sure to apply a heat protectant spray first to ensure that they last as long as possible. If you need to use your flat weft extensions right away after washing them, make sure you blow dry them on a cold setting to avoid heat damage and don't brush them until they're 90% dry. This is due to the fact that while the hair is damp, it is at its weakest. Instead, carefully release any knots using your fingertips. When blow-drying, begin by concentrating on the root of the weft and working your way down to the ends. Blow-dry your hair downwards to not only smooth the cuticle, but also to keep it from being tangled from being blasted in so many different directions.

Wherever feasible, we recommend air-drying your extensions. When air drying your hair, use a micro-fiber towel to remove extra water quickly and avoid roughing up your hair (which can also cause tangles). Place all of the wefts on a flat surface and carefully pat away any excess moisture. Applying a tiny bit of hair oil to each weft to keep the hair manageable and silky smooth when it dries is a good way to avoid frizz.
