Advantages:
- Time-Saving Installation: Easier and faster to apply compared to single-strand extension
- Full Coverage: Provides even volume and a natural look by covering larger areas.
- Gentler on Hair: Less tension on natural hair compared to micro-links or tape-ins (if properly installed).
- Reusable: High-quality wefts can be reused multiple times with proper care.
- Styling Versatility: Allows heat styling and updos without exposing the attachment points.
Disadvantages:
- Weight: Thick wefts may feel heavy, causing discomfort or tension on the scalp.
- Maintenance: Requires regular adjustments (e.g., every 6-8 weeks) to avoid matting.
- Limited Movement: Some types (e.g., sewn-in wefts) restrict natural hair movement.
- Cost: Higher initial cost compared to clip-ins, especially for human hair wefts.
- Skill-Dependent: Improper installation can lead to hair damage or visible wefts.
