What Exactly is a Butterfly Weft?

A Butterfly Weft is a machine-wefted2 hair extension with an intelligent, contoured construction3. It is deliberately engineered to be thinner and more flexible at the top and bottom edges, with a slightly fuller, reinforced center.

This unique build is the source of its name—the shape resembles a butterfly’s wings, which are light at the edges and fuller in the middle. This ergonomic design allows the weft to conform perfectly to the natural curve of your scalp, creating a seamless blend that is both undetectable and exceptionally comfortable.

This innovative design is versatile and addresses common extension concerns.

For Fine or Thin Hair: The lightweight nature of tapered hair extensions prevents weighing down delicate strands, making them a safe and effective option.

For Discomfort Sufferers: If traditional wefts cause scalp tension, the ergonomic design of a Butterfly Weft redistributes weight to eliminate pressure points.

For Volume Seekers: It provides high-density, dramatic volume precisely where it’s needed most—at the crown—without a bulky feel.

For First-Time Users: The easier application and comfort make these contoured wefts an excellent introduction to high-quality extensions.

How Do I Care for My Butterfly Weft?

Proper maintenance preserves your investment. Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner. Gently wash the weft while it’s laid flat on a surface. Always use a soft loop brush or extension-friendly paddle brush, starting from the ends and working upward toward the tracks. When not in use, store it flat or hung to maintain its shape and integrity.
