What are Weft Extensions? - A blūm Guide

In this blūm beauty guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about blūm weft hair extensions, from what they are, to styling tips and tricks.

What are Weft Extensions?

Weft extensions are a type of hair extension where strands of hair are sewn onto a strip of fabric or thin elastic band.

This creates a "curtain" of hair that can be attached to your natural hair in various ways.

Weft extensions offer a versatile and semi-permanent solution for adding length and volume to your hair.

Weft Application Method - Sew-In

The most common application method for weft extensions is the sew-in technique. Here's a brief overview of how it works:

• Your natural hair is braided into a cornrow pattern.
• The weft is then sewn onto these braids using a needle and thread.
• Some of your natural hair is left out at the top and around the edges to cover the wefts and create a natural look.

This method provides a secure and long-lasting installation that can last for several weeks with proper care.
