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?

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...

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.

Customers praised this hair extension for its natural texture that "looks like African American hair that has been permed straight" and blends seamlessly with relaxed hair. Quality is consistently rated excellent. However, several shoppers noted significant shedding issues and matting at the nape. Some mentioned high pricing and thick wefts as concerns.

Honestly The BEST!

I honestly use nothing else. I would literally DIE if they stopped selling this product. Every single hair stylist that installs this hair has sooo many compliments and wants to know where I buy this awesome hair. Personally I feel this is the best hair on the market. True 100% Remy! The relaxed texture is a God Send! It blends flawlessly with my relaxed hair when flat ironed. I really cannot be happier. Hopefully one day we'll get some ombre colors in this texture (wink wink;) lol. But either way I'm ecstatic. I use the wefts and clip ins in this texture and will try whatever else they have in this texture. This hair is a worthwhile investment.

Looks like African American hair.

This hair truly looks like African American hair that has been permed straight. It's very very nice! With that being said, if you flat iron this hair on high heat, it will become very silky and shiny, like Asian hair (so be careful unless you want that texture). I experienced shedding, a lot. The closure for this same hair type shed so much that I had balding spots on it. Customer service was impeccable and they shipped me a new one within 2 days. The second is holding up much better (I also sealed the knots), however the shedding of this hair in general is bad. I hope the tracks will last me a year or even more like I've read about other hair textures through this company. If you're looking for hair that looks like permed or treated AA hair, this is very good!

Very expensive

I love this hair, absolutely love it!! It looks so much like my own hair. It's easy to color, not very little shedding -- its great! The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because of the price. I don't like to see that the hair closest to African American is the most expensive hair to buy.
