Sew in Weft Hair Extensions

Sew-in hair extensions are sewn into the wearer’s natural hair to keep them secure. They are also known as weft hair extensions or hair wefts. A hair weft is a collection of either human or synthetic hair strands woven onto a fine strip of cloth or PU to create a “weft.” There are machine wefts and hand-tied wefts. Machine wefts are made by a weft sewing machine, whereas hand-tied wefts are hand-made, much smoother and thinner, and cost a little more. Genius weft hair extensions. are machine-made but thin and can be cut into smaller pieces without fraying. All Genius hair extensions at New Times Hair are made of Remy human hair with intact cuticles, never tangle or mat.

Tape in Hair Extensions

Tape in hair extensions are very straightforward to attach. Each hair extension is a little strand or bunch of either human or synthetic hair with chemical-free Italian tape affixed to one end. Our job is to hold one little strand of the wearer’s natural hair, stick the tape to it, and stick another to the other side to sandwich the wearer’s natural hair in between.

Out of tape in hair extensions, stem injection tape in, and mini tape in hair extensions. Injection tape in hair extensions have tape injected between a small bunch of hair, making the tape invisible so it can better blend in with the wearer’s natural hair.

Mini tape-in hair extensions are tape-in hair extensions with folds that can be folded in half or thirds. Our job is to wrap the tape around the wearer’s natural hair by the folds. We can also snip them into smaller pieces by the folds and apply them to smaller strands of natural hair, just like regular tape in hair extensions in smaller sizes.

Fusion hair extensions

Fusion hair extensions have multiple subtypes. There are hot fusion and cold fusion hair extensions. Sometimes the terms “hot fusion” and “fusion” are used interchangeably.

Depending on the shape of the keratin bonds, fusion or hot fusion hair extensions are called I-tip, U-tip, Y-tip, flat-tip, etc.

Hot fusion hair extensions and keratin bond hair extensions are the same thing. Like tape in hair extensions, they are strand-by-strand hair extensions that we attach strand by strand to the wearer’s natural hair. One end of the hair strand has a keratin bond; we heat it up to melt it and clip it together with the wearer’s natural hair strand; as it cools down, they stay together.

Depending on the shape of the keratin bonds, fusion or hot fusion hair extensions are called I-tip, U-tip, Y-tip, flat-tip, etc. For example, “I-tip” means that the tip is in the shape of a letter “I.” The bonds are shaped that way for ease of attachment.

Most keratin bond hair extensions can also be attached without using heat. Simply thread a strand of the wearer’s natural hair into a tiny ring and plug the tip into the ring and clip it tight. When attached this way, we call it cold fusion. But cold fusion hair extensions also include micro-links, micro-beads, etc.

Clip in Hair Extensions

Clip in hair extensions are also known as clip-in weaves. Clip in hair extensions can be either one-piece or multiple pieces. The wearer can attach the extensions by themselves or get someone else to attach for them.

These hair extensions have pressure-sensitive clips that allow them to be easily attached to the wearer’s natural hair. Like halo hair extensions, clip in hair extensions are also one of the least damaging hair extensions to wearers’ natural hair.

Oftentimes, one set of clip-in hair extensions has different-sized wefts of hair, ranging from one, two, three, and up to four clips. The wearer can attach and remove them daily to give their scalp a good rest.

Nano Ring Hair Extensions

Nano ring hair extensions are often referred to as “nano rings.” They are a recent development in hair extension methods. The original idea behind developing nano rings was to find the most undetectable installation methods.

Nano rings are an upgraded version of micro rings. Nano rings are made from copper and are only 1/10 the size of regular hair extension application rings. They are typically around the size of a ballpoint pen nib.

The hair extension strand attached using nanorings is called nano tip hair. This hair also has a keratin tip that secures a delicate metal loop that is squeezed closed to form an angle. Simply insert the tip into the ring and clamp it tightly with pliers to attach it.

Nano rings are lightweight, and the bonds are small and buried securely inside the wearer’s natural hair, making them absolutely invisible. They are ideal for wearers with fine or thin hair.
