Beaded Weft Hair Extensions

Beaded weft extensions are wefts of hair attached to your head using small beads threaded along a horizontal row. No glue, no heat, no adhesive on your hair at all. The beads create a secure track that the weft is sewn or clipped onto. It's one of the gentlest professional installation methods and a favorite for people who want a flat, comfortable, damage-free result.

The hair itself lasts 6 to 12 months with proper care. You'll need move-up appointments every 6 to 8 weeks where your stylist repositions the beaded rows as your natural hair grows out. The weft gets resewn to the new position, and you're good for another round. Most customers get 2 to 3 full reapplications from a single set.

Very. Once the beads are in place, they sit flat against your head and most people forget they're there within a day or two. The weight is distributed evenly along the row, so there's no pulling or pressure at any single point. Sleeping is comfortable, ponytails feel natural, and the beads don't create noticeable bumps.

Your stylist threads small beads along a horizontal section of your hair, creating a stable row. The weft is then sewn directly onto this beaded track. The whole process takes about an hour for a full head. No braiding is required - which is a big advantage for people who find cornrows uncomfortable or have finer hair that doesn't braid well.

Not when installed and maintained properly. Because there's no glue, heat, or adhesive involved, the method itself is very gentle. The beads distribute tension evenly so no single point of your hair is bearing all the weight. The important thing is keeping up with your move-up schedule and working with a stylist who knows proper installation technique.

Absolutely. Wash with sulfate-free shampoo and be gentle around the beaded rows - let the water flow through rather than scrubbing. Condition from mid-length to ends. You can curl, straighten, and blow dry the extensions just like your own hair since they're 100% Remy human hair. Just keep direct heat away from the beads themselves.

They're a great fit for most hair types, but they really shine for people who want a damage-free installation without the braiding required by traditional sew-ins. Fine hair does well with beaded wefts because the installation doesn't require cornrows. If you've tried other methods and found them uncomfortable or damaging, beaded wefts are worth exploring.

Most full installations use 2 to 4 rows. Fine hair typically does well with 2 rows, medium hair with 3, and thick hair may need 4 for a balanced look. Each row is positioned at a different height on your head for natural-looking coverage. Your stylist will customize the placement based on your specific hair and goals.
