Weave Hair Weft & Remy Hair Extensions
Bombay Hair’s Weave Hair Weft and Remy Hair Extensions blend naturally with both straight and wavy hair. These real human hair extensions can be adapted to any hairstyle, whether you want a sleek, straight finish or glamorous waves. With the right care, they provide excellent volume, body, and enduring style.
What Are Hair Weaves And How To Weave Hair?
Hair weaves are a form of extensions used to increase the length, volume, or style of your natural hair. Made from human hair, they are available in multiple textures, colors, and lengths. Hair weaves are secured to natural hair by sewing, gluing, or clipping, with the natural hair usually braided or otherwise arranged to provide a firm base. The process can be lengthy and often requires the expertise of a professional hairstylist.
Hair weaves are widely used because they provide a dramatic change in hairstyle without the need to cut or process your natural hair. They can be fashioned into various styles, from extended, flowing tresses to bold updos. Hair weaves provide a protective style by shielding natural hair from damage due to environmental factors, heat styling, or harsh chemicals. However, it is crucial to maintain and care for both the weave and your natural hair to ensure they stay in good condition.
Types of Hair Weaves
Hair weaves come in different varieties, each with its distinct benefits and characteristics. By learning about these types, you can choose the one that best suits your individual style and hair care needs.
- Sew-In Weaves: The installation of these weaves involves braiding the natural hair into cornrows around the head and then attaching the hair wefts to the braids with a needle and thread.
- Bonded Weaves: Bonded weaves, or glue-in weaves, are applied by attaching hair wefts to natural hair with adhesive glue.
- Clip-In Weaves: For a temporary boost in length, volume, or color, clip-in weaves can be used. These wefts are secured to your natural hair with small clips.
- Fusion or Pre-Bonded Weaves: Fusion weaves use a heating tool to attach individual strands or small bundles of hair to your natural hair, creating a secure bond.
- Micro-Link or Micro-Bead Weaves: Micro-link weaves involve attaching hair wefts to natural hair with small metal rings or beads, providing a method that does not require braiding or gluing.
- Tape-In Weaves: Tape-in weaves involve applying hair wefts to natural hair with double-sided tape, giving a semi-permanent method that remains flat against the scalp.
- Net Weaves: Net weaves consist of sewing a net onto braided natural hair, followed by attaching hair wefts to the net, which enhances security and ensures longer-lasting wear.
The Processing Steps for Non-Remy Hair Extensions
1. Sew-In Weaves: This widely used weave technique includes braiding natural hair into cornrows across the whole head and then sewing the weave into the braids with a needle and thread. Sew-in weaves are popular for their durability and the variety of styling options they offer.
2. Glue-In Weaves: Glue-in weaves are applied using a specific hair adhesive, making them a convenient option. However, they can damage natural hair if not removed properly. They are usually best suited for short-term wear, such as for special events.
3. Clip-In Weaves: Clip-in weaves are very user-friendly. They include clips that can be easily attached to natural hair. This type of weave is well-suited for temporarily adding length or volume.
4. Fusion Weaves: Fusion weaves provide the most durable solution for hair extensions. They are bonded to small sections of natural hair with keratin, offering a natural appearance. This method, however, is both pricey and time-intensive.
5. Net Weaves: Net weaves involve sewing a net over braided hair and attaching the weave to the net. This technique can benefit natural hair by providing a break and supporting its health and growth.
Choosing the appropriate hair weave is influenced by your lifestyle, hair condition, and personal likes. Each type has its pros and cons, so it's essential to take these factors into account before making your choice. Hair weaves can effectively alter your appearance and protect your natural hair, but proper care is necessary to ensure your natural hair remains healthy. Choose wisely and take advantage of the diverse options hair weaves offer!
What is Weaving Hair?
Hair weaving, or hair extensions, is designed to increase the length, volume, or style of natural hair. This process involves adding synthetic or human hair to the existing hair. There are multiple methods and types of hair extensions, including:
Sewing or Braiding
Sewing or braiding is a widely used method for installing hair weaves. Often applied in sew-in weaves, it involves braiding the natural hair into cornrows or various patterns on the scalp. The hair extensions are sewn onto the braids with a needle and thread, creating a secure foundation for the weave. This method is popular for its durability and versatility in supporting different hairstyles.
Clip-In Extensions
Clip-in extensions are widely used for various hair types, from straight to curly, due to their simplicity and temporary application. These extensions include small clips that can be swiftly and securely attached to your natural hair. Clip-ins are ideal for adding length, volume, or color to your hair without the commitment of a permanent weave. They can be easily applied at home, making them a budget-friendly and convenient choice. Maintaining clip-in extensions is straightforward—they can be removed before bedtime and easily reattached whenever needed.
Glue-In Extensions
Glue-in extensions, often called bonding or fusion weaves, are secured with a unique adhesive. This technique includes applying a keratin-based glue to the extension's end and using a heated tool to melt the glue, attaching the extension to a section of your natural hair. This approach provides a secure and realistic look, but the application and removal should be managed by a professional to ensure that your natural hair is not damaged. Glue-in extensions need careful maintenance and are generally suggested for short-term use or special events. Since the adhesive may cause allergic reactions, it’s advised to perform a patch test before full application.
Tape-In Extensions
Tape-in extensions are a modern type of hair weave that has gained popularity because of their easy-to-use and lightweight design. The extensions consist of thin, pre-taped wefts that are applied by sandwiching them between segments of natural hair. This approach eliminates the need for heat or glue, which helps protect natural hair from damage. Tape-in extensions are well-known for their seamless finish, as they lie flat on the head and blend effortlessly with natural hair.
Fusion Extensions
Fusion extensions, commonly called keratin bond or pre-bonded extensions, are an upscale option for adding lasting length and volume. The process involves using keratin bonds to attach strands of extension hair to sections of your natural hair. The keratin bond is heated and wrapped around the natural hair to create a smooth finish. This method results in a natural appearance, as the extensions seamlessly blend with your hair.
Micro-Link Extensions
Micro-link extensions, often referred to as micro-bead or I-tip extensions, offer a more permanent hair weave solution without relying on glue, heat, or tape. They are attached to the natural hair using tiny, silicone-lined beads or tubes. The extension hair is packaged in small bundles, each with a firm yet flexible keratin "I" tip. The natural hair is threaded through a bead, and the extension is then placed into the same bead. Once the bead is in place, it is clamped down using a specific tool to lock the extension onto the hair. Micro-link extensions create a natural, flowing look due to the strand-by-strand attachment, enabling a wide range of styling possibilities.
The Importance of Professional Installation
Hair weaving is often chosen by those looking to alter their hairstyle quickly without having to wait for natural hair growth or to enhance thickness and volume. Regardless of whether the weave is styled in waves or kept straight, professional installation is crucial to prevent any damage to the natural hair. Ensuring proper care and maintenance is necessary to preserve the appearance of the extensions and to safeguard the natural hair from potential damage.
Weaving Hair Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for my traditional weave weft?
To maintain a traditional weave weft, wash it regularly using a mild shampoo and conditioner. It's important to minimize heat styling and protect the hair during swimming or exercise. Regular moisturizing is also advised to prevent dryness and breakage.
Can I swim or exercise with a traditional weave weft?
Yes, you can swim and exercise with a traditional weave weft, but it's important to protect the hair by wearing a swim cap or securing it in a ponytail. After swimming or exercising, make sure to wash and condition the hair.
Can I remove a traditional weave weft by myself?
For safe removal of a traditional weave weft, seek the help of a professional stylist to avoid damaging your hair and scalp. Removing it yourself could result in pulling or cutting your hair, which might cause pain, discomfort, and harm to the weave wefts.
How do you measure hair extension length?
To measure hair extensions, start at the weft and measure down to the ends of the strands. Keep the extensions straight while measuring. Note that for curly or wavy extensions, the length is typically measured when the hair is stretched out.
How many bundles are there in 200 grams of hair?
In 200 grams of hair, the number of bundles can vary depending on their weight, which typically falls between 95 and 105 grams. Assuming an average bundle weighs 100 grams, 200 grams of hair would be about 2 bundles. This number might change slightly depending on the weight of each bundle. For detailed information, consult your hair extension provider regarding the weight of their bundles.
Can hair weaves be worn straight, and how should they be styled with a flat iron?
Yes, hair weaves can be styled straight. You can use a flat iron on your weaves just like you would on natural hair. For optimal results, set the flat iron to a safe temperature, usually between 300 and 350°F, to avoid damaging the hair. To maintain the hair’s quality, always use a heat protectant before styling. This helps to achieve your desired look while keeping the hair strands in alignment for a smooth, natural appearance.
How do I maintain the appearance of my weave when styled with heat tools?
To keep your flat-ironed weave looking fresh, ensure regular care. Use a low-heat setting on your flat iron to avoid damage and apply a heat protectant spray to reduce heat effects. At night, wrap your hair or wear a silk bonnet to minimize friction and prevent tangling.
What is the best way to ensure my weave retains its style and health when worn straight?
To keep your straight weave looking its best, apply a light serum or natural oil regularly to maintain moisture. Use a soft-bristle brush to gently detangle and smooth the hair, brushing in the direction of the strands to prevent matting and ensure a sleek look.
Can I use a flat iron on different types of hair weaves?
Flat irons are suitable for use on many hair weaves, especially those crafted from human hair. It is important to customize the temperature based on the hair type to prevent any potential damage. Set the heat to a lower level initially and adjust upwards as necessary. Ensure the hair is dry and apply a thermal protectant before applying heat to safeguard its quality and longevity.
What precautions should I take when using a flat iron on weaves to ensure they are styled safely and effectively?
To prevent heat damage, ensure the hair is clean and completely dry before using a flat iron. Apply a thermal protectant to shield the hair from excessive heat. For consistent heat distribution and to avoid overheating, work with small sections of hair when using a flat iron. Ensure you move the flat iron in the direction of the hair to keep its natural pattern and alignment.
