What are hand tied hair extensions?

Hand tied hair extensions have a specific type of hair weft and installation process. A hair weft is a collection of hair strands weaved along to their own thread. The weft is hand sewn to your natural hair by first creating a beaded track, or row, for the weft to be sewn to. Your extension stylist will first create the beaded track, then strategically layer your hand tied hair wefts. Next, your wefts are sewn to the beaded track to complete your hand tied hair extension installation. The number of rows and the number of wefts depend on your starting point and your goals or the look you are trying to achieve.

This method of hair extensions requires specialized training to develop skill, speed and comfort to the overall application. The beads should not touch your scalp so that there is no rubbing or irritation, yet lay flat to the scalp to keep your extensions inconspicuous. Hand tied extensions last much longer than other options, are comfortable and blend seamlessly with your natural hair.

Benefits of Hand Tied Hair Extensions

There are many benefits of hand tied extensions that make them a great choice for almost anyone considering hair extensions. Here are a few reasons our clients choose them:

Gentle On Your Natural Hair
Hand tied extensions are healthier for your natural hair for several reasons. Because the wefts used in hand tied extensions are thinner and lighter than other types of hair extension wefts, hand tied extensions put less tension on your natural hair. In fact, a proper install of your hand tied extensions should cause very little stress to the scalp or roots of your hair, allowing your natural hair to continue to grow as it naturally would with less breakage.

During move-ups, hand tied hair extensions will be completely removed and can be reattached to your natural hair at a new attachment point, which also eases any tension on specific points in your natural hair strand. No chemicals, glue, adhesive materials, or heat used to attach hand tied extensions, which means your natural hair is not exposed to any of these potentially damaging elements when installed.

Comfort
Because of the attachment method, hand tied hair extensions create fewer pressure points as well as reduce tension on your natural hair. This creates extensions that feel more comfortable. When properly installed there should be no beads touching your scalp, which also reduces any itchiness or discomfort that you may feel along your scalp when wearing extensions.

Natural Look and Feel
A huge benefit of hand tied extensions is the natural look they create. With hand tied wefts, there are more grams of hair per weft and at the same time, each weft is typically thinner along the weft line than other extension hair, such as machine tied wefts. This allows both your natural hair and your extensions to fall more naturally and more evenly giving you a believable end result.

The hand tied method our specialist are certified in, uses a hidden bead foundation so that when the wefts are attached they are thin and don’t stick out through your hair. Even if you have thin or fine natural hair, hand tied extensions can give you the volume, fullness, and length you want seamlessly blended with your natural hair.

Low Maintenance Routine
A favorite of hand tied extensions is adopting a lower maintenance hair routine. Expect great hair with fewer washes and hair that holds style. If you like to curl your hair, enjoy the style for a couple days and transition into beachy waves, followed by a messy up-do before you have to wash and dry again.

Versatile
Don’t worry, you won’t loose the ability to style your hair! Hand tied extensions can be worn up in a traditional pony tail, various braid styles, etc. It is possible to wear any hairstyle all without exposing your extension attachment points.

Easy to Remove
Without all the chemicals/adhesives used in attachment, hand tied extensions are easier to remove than other options. Removing hand tied extensions simply requires cutting the string that holds your wefts along the track, removing the beads in your foundation, and combing out your hair shed that has been in the beads. This removal process is also healthier for your hair because it causes less stress and damage to your natural hair as opposed to other extension methods which use chemical or adhesive attachment.
