Permanent Hair Extension Methods

Single Strand Application

-Microbead or i-tip

Weft Application

- Sew-In Weft: Depending on your hair texture wefts can be applied in a variety of methods. Curly, coarse hair can be applied by braiding the hair and then sewing the weft into those braids.

- Beaded Weft: Fine, straight hair is attached by creating a base using beads, and the weft is then sewn into this beaded base.

Hybrid Application
