Hand-tied Wefts vs. Machine WeftsSaturday, November 1st, 2008
Hand-tied WeftsHand-tied wefts are tufts of hair sewn or tied together meticulously by hand using a strong piece of weaving thread. If they’re done properly, hand-tied wefts can actually last a very long time. However, since they’re harder to make and they take longer time to complete, they usually cost a lot more. Another thing that’s good with hand-tied wefts is that they’re not very bulky or noticeable when you put them on. They’re built to be thin so they’ll blend in nicely with the hair that you already have. They stick closely to your scalp, making them look quite natural. However, special care should be taken for hand-tied wefts especially if you’re going to cut the track. Instead of cutting the track, just turn the track around to the next row and keep sewing. When you reach the end you can cut the track, just be sure it’s sealed with a good fabric or nail glue. Hand-tied wefts will unravel and shed when cut from the top, make sure your stylist probably knows this so it won’t be much of a problem. Hand-tied wefts are also quite effective since they don’t shed much when they’re put on, unlike machine wefts. Machine WeftsMachine wefts are sewn together using a sewing machine. The quality of the hair and the track are equally the same with both hand-tied and machine wefts. Machine wefts are slightly thicker compared to hand-tied wefts, but a bulge is rarely noticeable. A lot of people prefer machine wefts because the tracks can be cut during installation, making it a bit more flexible. A good stylist can manage to make machine wefts look very natural regardless of how thick the track is. Machine wefts are easy to manipulate, and you don’t have to be careful when cutting them. You can even cut them from the top. This makes them a good choice giving you less margin for error during a hair installation. Our Indian hair machine wefts at Perfect Locks are very popular, just as our hand-tied wefts. We sell an equal amount of both types. All in all, your choice should depend on what’s convenient for you and also your stylist. Weigh your options properly before you make a choice. We have a demonstration of an installation using a hand-tied weft in this hand-tied weft installation video.
Perfect Hair Extension ResultsMonday, September 15th, 2008
Maximum LongevityHair extensions typically last for four to six months. But that really depends on the type of fusion you used. Hot fusion in hair extensions is a very popular method and it costs less but its longevity is lower than that of cold fusion. Cold fusion has just recently been rising in popularity, it definitely lasts longer and produces better results. Longevity also depends on how you take care of your new hair extensions, here are some hair care tips. If you don’t follow your stylist’s instructions to the letter, then your hair extensions wouldn’t last as long as your stylist promised that they would. Using too many chemicals would also shorten the longevity of your extensions because too much chemical treatment would destroy the hair’s cuticles. And the cuticles are usually the ones offering protection. Excellent QualityAlso, the state of the cuticles has an influence not only over the hair extension’s longevity but also on the quality. Chinese hair usually doesn’t last very long since it is excessively treated with chemicals and its natural cuticles have already been removed. European hair is also good but it’s really hard to find genuine European hair in the market. And also, you could expect that European hair has already been treated with chemicals even before it was cut. Good quality Indian hair, on the other hand, has good longevity because its cuticles are still intact. Indian hair is not called virgin Remy hair for nothing. It is known for it’s durability and beautiful presentation. Women in India use natural herbs to clean their hair so their cuticles are usually in good health. Indian hair extension history is very meaningful and has deep roots, it’s all a very interesting process! Excellent quality also means that your hair extensions should look natural.  And for this, the type of weft is vital. Hand-tied wefts usually look more natural than machine wefts. Some people feel that machine wefts are more durable and have thinner wefts, it really just comes down to personal preference. Here are a couple more important tips you should keep in mind.
All About Curly Indian Hair ExtensionsFriday, October 19th, 2007If you are born with curly hair, then there is so much you need to know about it! Not all curly hair is the same, especially when talking about Indian hair. They vary in texture and there are different type of curls. The three different types are: loose, curly and kinky. Loose curls are softer curls roughly two inches wide. They are shiny and very manageable for the most part. Some famous actresses with loose curls are Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker. This hair has a beautiful body to it and can be versatile and easy to maintain.

Machine Wefts or Hand-tied Wefts – this is a much debated topic in several salons today. The thing is, some people who get hair extensions don’t usually know what’s best – machine wefts or hand-tied wefts. The safest, and probably the most accurate, answer would be “It depends.” I know that saying that is horribly dissatisfying for any reader, but it’s true. The choice between machine wefts and hand-tied wefts actually depends on your objective or your purpose.
If you are spending your hard earned money on a product or service, you naturally want to get your money’s worth, right? And naturally, if you want some hair extensions, then you want to have the perfect result, right? Most salons and stylists would promise to give you the ‘perfect result’ each time you ask. But what entails a “perfect results” when it comes to hair extensions anyway?
