When it comes to hair extensions, weft technology has revolutionized how we add length and volume. This comprehensive guide examines five premium weft extension types – PU Hole Flat Weft, Hand Tied Weft, Machine Weft, Flat Silk Weft, and Genius Weft – helping you choose the perfect match for your hair goals and lifestyle.
1. PU Hole Flat Weft Extensions: The Invisible Solution
Our innovative PU Hole Flat Wefts represent cutting-edge extension technology. These feature a unique polyurethane base with strategically placed holes that create an ultra-thin, scalp-like appearance. The machine-injected hair mimics natural growth patterns, making them virtually undetectable even in high ponytails.
