Well, weft or machine weft, basically refers to the process of how the hair comes together to form what we know as a hair extension. It starts with loose hair being fed through a sewing machine and this hair is effectively sewn or wefted together to create a long veil or piece of hair. Think of it like this. Ever been to Spotlight, seen those rolls of tassles on a cardboard backing and unravelled the fabric? It comes out in one long piece, and that's exactly what the beginnings of a hair extension looks like. These veils or wefts of hair are then cut into pieces to be transformed into all the different types of extensions. Minque Hair Extensions have a wide range of Weft Hair Extensions.
The most common forms of machine wefted hair extensions are used for the clip in and sewn in methods of hair extension application. Machine wefted hair is the thickest, and therefore it is very popular.
This type of hair extension is relatively new. The hair is bonded together by a strip of polyurethane tape which mimics the look of skin when attached to the head. This makes it very natural looking when applied.
This method of weft is slightly different to machine weft because it is actually manually woven by hand, as opposed to fed into a machine and sewn. These wefts of hair are much thinner than machine wefted hair, which makes them a lot less noticeable when applied onto the head because, let's face it, who wants to FEEL like they're wearing hair extensions? They're a lot more durable than machine wefted hair because the hair is sewn in tighter, however, the downside of these is that they cannot be cut, so they need to be applied in a spiral and doubled back if there is any extra hair left. (NOTE: These are not available for purchase through Minque. This information is purely to demonstrate what the difference between wefts are)
