How many wefts do I need for an install?

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.

Can I color and heat style this hair?

" 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...

How long is the weft in feet and inches?

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...

How can I make machine wefts last longer?

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...

What is the beard on a weft and why does it matter?

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.

Love love love

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!!

Amazing hair

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.

Girl Yassssssss

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!

Perfect hair

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

Kinky-Curly & Heavenly

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.
