-
1
Section the Hair2 min Start by parting the hair horizontally at the nape of the neck and clipping the rest of the hair out of the way. Each section should be clean and even to ensure a seamless installation.
-
2
Create a Foundation (Beaded or Braided Track)5 min For a beaded method, thread small silicone-lined beads onto a row of hair, spacing them evenly along the section. Secure each bead by clamping it with pliers. Alternatively, for a braided method, create a tight, horizontal cornrow to act as the base for sewing the weft.
-
3
Measure and Cut the Weft2 min Hold the weft against the prepared section and measure the exact width needed. Cut the weft to fit, avoiding cutting through the stitching to prevent shedding.
-
4
Attach the Weft5 min For the beaded method, lay the weft over the beads and sew it onto the track using a curved needle and nylon thread. If using the braided method, sew the weft directly onto the braid with tight, secure stitches.
-
5
Blend and Style3 min Once the wefts are securely attached, release the clipped-up hair and blend the extensions with the natural hair using a brush or styling tools. Trim if necessary for a seamless look.
- Seal cut edges with fabric glue to prevent shedding
- Use a curved needle for sew-in attachment
- Braid foundation should be tight and flat
- Keep rows at least 1 inch apart
Machine wefts are thicker than hand-tied. For textured hair, use a flat braid foundation and leave extra perimeter hair for blending.

Caring for Perfect Locks' weft hair extensions involves a few simple steps to ensure that they stay looking beautiful and last as long as possible. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Wash your hair as infrequently as possible, and when you do, use a mild shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for hair extensions. Be sure to stay clear away from the wefted area as any pulling or tugging on the weft could lead to issues.
- Avoid using heat styling tools on high heat settings, and use a heat protectant spray to reduce the risk of damage.
- Try not to sleep with wet hair, and use a satin bonnet or pillowcase to reduce the risk of tangling and matting.
- Avoid using any harsh chemicals or treatments on the extensions, such as bleach, perm or hair dye.
It is important to have regular maintenance with a professional stylist to ensure the longevity of the extensions and to keep them looking as natural as possible. Follow these steps for success!

Every head of hair is unique, and the right amount depends on:
- Wear Time - Temporary or long-term?
- Installation - Subtle blend or full volume?

- Budget - Invest in quality for lasting beauty.
Pro Tip: When in doubt, order extra! Unused hair can be saved for touch-ups or returned if unused.
The number of machine wefts you will need for a full or partial installation depends on several factors, including the thickness of your natural hair, the desired fullness of your hair, and the size of the area you're trying to cover. Also take into consideration the length of hair you're purchase, the longer the length the more wefts you'll need for coverage. As a rough estimate, a full head of hair would typically require 3 to 4 wefts, while a partial installation might only require 1-2 wefts. A more accurate estimation can be made by a hair stylist or professional. It would be best to consult with a stylist to determine how many wefts you need for your specific situation.
" if you're thinking of coloring your already-colored hair extensions, it's important to keep in mind that these extensions may not take the color as well as natural hair would. This is because the previous coloring of the extensions may affect the final result of the new color, making it difficult to achieve the desired shade. However, with the right hair dye and a professional stylist, it is possible to achieve the perfect color for your extensions! Just make sure to perform a strand test before coloring the entire set of extensions. And remember, many hair extensions, especially those that have been pre-colored, have been chemically treated, which can make coloring them even harder. So, consult a professional stylist before...
Typically, the longer the extensions, the longer the machine weft track will be, and the shorter the extensions, the shorter the machine weft track will be. This is because the weft track needs to be long enough to accommodate the length of the hair being attached to it. It's also important to note that the weft thickness might change depending on the length of the extensions, as longer extensions need more hair to be attached to the weft, therefore the weft will be thicker, and short hair extensions need less hair to be attached to the weft, therefore the weft will be thinner. This can affect the overall weight and volume of the extensions, and the client's preference on how...
There are several ways to make machine wefts last longer: proper installation: make sure that the wefts are properly installed and that they are not too tight, as this can cause the wefts to stretch and weaken over time. Proper care: brush the extensions regularly with a hair extension loop brush to prevent tangling and matting, and avoid using heat-styling tools too frequently. Regular maintenance: have the extensions checked and tightened by a professional every 6-8 weeks to ensure that they are not becoming loose. Use good quality hair: look for high-quality human hair extensions that have been properly processed and treated to ensure that they will last longer, like the hair we offer here at perfect locks! Avoid using...
A beard on weft hair extensions is a small strip of hair that is left attached to the weft when the hair is sewn or bonded onto it. A beard is typically found on the back of the weft, on the side that will be closest to the scalp when the extensions are installed. A beard helps to camouflage the weft. The presence of a beard makes the weft look more like natural hair for a more seamless look. A beard can also add protection to the weft, reducing the risk of tangling by preventing the weft from slipping.

U-part custom unit ; with 2 bundles of @perfectlocks kinky curly by yours truly.
I love love love the hair I got from Perfect Locks!! I bought 2 kinky curly bundles in 18"; and had my hair done at Jovance Salon an Barbering. Honestly I've never purchased hair that looked so much like my own hair. I get compliments on a consistent basis! The hair is extremely soft, has virtually no shedding and doesn't really tangle at all for hair as coily as it is. Other brands have tangled and shed sooo much and it's terrible!!! I will always go to Perfect locks for my hair from now on!! Thank you Perfect Locks!!
I've been wearing weaves for a while and I stumbled upon perfect locks during their black Friday sale and decided to give their hair a try. Best. Decision. Ever. The steam curl is the perfect in between wavy and curly. I'm in love with this hair. I've washed it several times and had it colored by my stylist and it's still amazing. No shedding and tangles are non exisistant. I couldn't be happier. I'll definitely be ordering again.
This hair is AMAZING. Not that I had any doubts as I have been purchasing hair from Perfect Locks for years. The kinky curly makes me question why I ever thought to wear a straight style. This will be a new go to hair. I'm just in love!
I love my perfect locks so much I have spent a lot of time using a lot of hair this is the third time I’ve used this hair in a row and every single time it works I feel proud and beautiful every time that I put this hair in I get so many compliments ranging from strangers on the streets to my own beautician I 100% recommend this hair and will never look back
Dear Aya, Wow, you look so amazing! We are beyond happy to hear you've had the best experience with our Kinky Curly Steam Permed Machine Weft / 20'. We appreciate your feedback when it comes to the hair and we're so glad all have been perfect for you! We strongly believe in providing quality in all aspects of our brand and are pleased to know we are fulfilling this for our customers. Thank you again. Perfect Locks Team ❤️
I have a lot of heat damage from straightening my hair to match the texture of my weave. I wanted to allow it to grow out and decided to find a weave that would allow me to wear my natural texture with it. This kinky-curly weave does just that! People think it's my hair which is always a bonus and I'm quick to tell them that it's a weave. I've received so many compliments on my hair in the nearly two months since I've gotten it done. The hair takes just as much work as natural curly hair to maintain so be prepared. Get your products that promote moisture and conditioning, use protective styles at night so you can have an easy morning, but if you forget, you can wet it up and put in good products and go in the morning, just expect the hair to continue to blossom throughout the day. I absolutely love this look and I've never received so many compliments. I highly recommend it.
This hair was excellent for summer weather! I was able to apply moisturizer on my hair along with the weft hair
I felt like a natural goddess! The look this gives me causes other women to do a double take on my hair and then they pop the question...";is this your hair";";
This hair is amazing. The curl pattern matches my natural hair perfectly!! Not kinky curly, little to no shedding, soft, easy to manage, just amazing overall. I have tried many curly textures from different places but this hair is all that i had been searching for. Worth every coin spent!!!!
I love this hair!! I am wearing it for past eight months and even though I was was washing it every week it still is in excellent excellent condition. Had some shedding with each wash so the hair is about 14 inches and because I want length of 18 inches I will be ordering more of this hair! People think it is my hair!
The curl pattern is beautiful. Curls stay without putting too much hair hair product on it.
I love the hair! Easy to maintain.
I have this hair! I had so much fun and love the quality of the curl! I have this in two colors because I loved it that much! It barely if at all sheds, the wear and life of it is quite amazing. The hair is quite soft, barely tangled, and made me smile! I reviewed here too: http://thecurvyfashionista.mariedenee.com/2012/09/new-look-new-do-and-review-with-perfect-locks/
I wanted a texture that was closer to my own. The yaki was perfect from the color to the texture. It looked very natural. I loved that the wefts were small for discreet application. When I first got the Yaki hair I was a little nervous because it seemed a bit too coarse, but I was wrong. All it took was some flat ironing. I would also suggest buying the hair a little longer than desired and trimming the ends before application. I sometimes don't wrap my hair before bed, but this hair still hold up. Overall this is great hair! I bought it in Dec, and it is still holding up with very little shedding.
I have worn this hair for 2 back to back installs for a total of 4 months. It is holding up extremely well! I dyed it from the natural color and it took the color very well! It only sheds a little and probably would not shed at all had I sealed the wefts like I planned. I am very pleased with this hair and I will be purchasing it again when it's time.
This hair is the closes to my hair texture that I've found. It looks very natural and easy maintenance
I love this hair! I have the kinky/curly in 18' and 22'. I had to dye it to match my 1B hair and it retained its beautiful pattern and softness. Absolutely love this hair.
This pattern so works for me, being that I am an african american female who does not have time to come through and deal with my own hair. This hair is very versatile and appears like it is growing from my root. I bought this hair 8 months ago and it is still flawless! A perfect look from Perfect Locks!
I purchased 3 packs of hair and I only used 2. The hair I received was dry like straw and I had to deep condition it several times to somewhat revive it. I had to buy pricey conditioners to get this hair to feel normal and I didn't like that I had to invest more money into this hair considering how expensive it is. At the time of this review, I have had this hair installed for 3 weeks and it's still a bit dry and the its shedding more and more. If you buy this hair, please seal the wefts before installing. My wefts were not cut and the my stylist did not sew through the wefts. As for the texture, it does resemble African American relaxed texture that is 3 to 4 weeks post relaxer. I like that it looks natural and it blends well with my leave-out. It also curls well using flexi rods. I bought this hair because I was looking for a low maintenance style and this is not it. If you are used to a softer texture that needs minimum maintenance then don't buy this hair.
Nice when you apply conditioner and holding spray but sheds a lot, any ideas on how to prevent further shedding. Got very many compliments of the beautiful hair.
I love it and I will buy it again.
I have been searching for a natural looking weave FOR YEARS. I don't even remember how i found this website, but I was absolutely delighted to find this kinkier textured hair. My stylist was really skeptical when I pulled it out of the bad. It arrived super kinky. But once we got it in, and started styling, she was amazed at how well it matched my hair texture. I have regular black girl hair. Nothing special at all. I get at least a compliment a week about how nice my hair looks (from strangers) and they always ask me what type of products I use. I've even had other stylists tell me that they had no idea that I was wearing a weave. I would highly recommend this hair if you want you look like you have naturally long, well taken care of hair.
Such fun, fabulous hair!!!
I bought Kinky Curly Remi Human hair . It looks natural and easy to manage.
