All about Hand Tied Wefts

One full 4 ounce bundle can take 20 to 25 hours to complete. A great deal of work goes into creating these hand tied wefted products, creating a more finished product that lays flatter against the scalp giving you a more undetectable look.

This helps reduce shedding by creating a higher quality product. Hand Tied weft tracks come pre-cut in 5 pieces. The length of each track depends on the overall length of the bundle of hair, but the average length of the track can range from 18" to 24".
