Flat hair extensions are also called flat silk weft, ribbon, or hybrid hair extensions,which is basically a combination of the hand-tied weft and the machine weft. It is a perfect blend of comfort and durability.
The flat weft aren’t handmade, therefore they are cheaper than hand-tied wefts, but costlier than the machine weft. They are also very thin, and feature a slim piece of silk at the installation side for reinforcement.
Advantages of Flat Wefts
Flat wefts are luxurious, and these shows in their hair extension prices. However, they are worth the investment. And this is why:
- They are great for thinning hair because of their lightness of the weft and hair.
- They are very customizable and can be attached with micro rings, clips, tapes or sewn-in.
- Unlike hand-tied wefts, flat wefts aren’t folded. So, there are no short, irritating return hair on the weft.
- Flat wefts can be cut from anywhere without unraveling, unlike hand-tied wefts.
- The attached silk carries the bulk of the weight.
How To Install Flat Weft Extensions?
Flat wefts do not require a degree in neurophysics for installation. You can use any method that suits your client and which you know. However, using silicone beads is a sure-fire way to utilize the beauty of this extension weft.
Adding flat weft hair extensions to the hair can take a varying amount of time, depending on the technique you use, the amount of hair extension added, and your skill too. However, the range would ideally be between 1 – 4 hours.
Remember to let your clients know that flat wefts are not forever. They would need to come into the salon for touch-ups and redos. The flat weft extension is long-lasting, however it will have to be maintained every 6-8 weeks.
