Difference Between Hand-tied and Machine Weft Hair Extensions

There are many types of human hair extensions from clip-ins, halo, u-tip, i-tip, tape-in extensions and much more. There are also two types of weft extensions in hand-tied hair extensions and machine weft hair extensions. What are the differences between hand-tied wefts and machine wefts? Read on below to learn more.

What are hand-tied weft extensions?

Before we get started on the differences, let’s explain what each kind is. Hand-tied weft extensions use hair that has been sewn-in manually onto a weft by hand. This method does not use a lot of hair given the hand-tied procedure. As a result, it creates a thinner lining which results in a natural look on your scalp. They usually last between four to 12 months with the proper care and maintenance. They are suitable for those who have thinning hair or thin hair density and are looking to add more volume.

What are machine weft extensions?

Regular weft hair extensions are actually machine weft hair extensions which use hair sewn together by a machine onto a weft. They are thick and bulky, making them more suitable to those who already have a good amount of thickness with their hair. Like hand-tied wefts, they should last four to 12 months.

What are the differences between hand-tied and machine weft?

So what are the differences between the two other than the fact that one is made with a machine while the other is hand-tied?

For starters, because hand-tied wefts are tied by hand, potential shedding is reduced while there is also more flexibility which machine wefts lack. However, a drawback is that hand-tied wefts usually have thinner hair density as a result. Hand-tied wefts are also attached with natural beaded weft attachments and can also work well as an integration along with an existing hairpiece.

Machine wefts, meanwhile, can be installed in a number of ways including clips, glue, or being sewn on. Additionally, they are thick and heavier than regular extensions and provide plenty of volume, length and durability for those who already have thick hair. They can also hold much more hair density than hand-tied wefts.

Which one should you get? It depends on your natural hair and particular hair needs.
