Hand tied wefts lay flatter against your scalp, and are considered undetectable to give you that purely natural look. Perfect Locks hand tied wefts come pre-cut in 5 strips, making them easier for your stylist to work with. You don't have to cut the track since they are pre-cut, this reduces any chance for shedding.
