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.

You Get What You Pay For

I am extremely happy with my Tight Curly Steam Permed Weave from Perfect Locks. In fact this is my third purchase of this line. It matches my hair perfectly and the quality is excellent. I was able to keep my hair for over a year so far, I buy more for length and for freshness. The hair doesn’t get tangled, it’s low maintenance and if you take care of it, the hair will last for a long time. Even after bleaching the hair to match my blonde ombré dye in my real hair, the quality was still there. I have not come across a better vender for quality weaves, I have searched around including online and no other company comes close. Perfect Locks will always be my go to for weaves. Additionally, my real hair is in the best health and has grown so much, my hair stylists is now recommending other clients to try the same brand and hairstyle that has been working for me now over a year.

Tight curly Weave

Definitely the softest and most manageable curly hair I've ever bought.I love it!

Made my own clip-in's

This hair is so natural looking. It blends very naturally and even fooled a close friend who is a \weave detective\. I made my own clip-in extensions by sewing clips to the weft. I had to double the weft because it's so thin and my hair is so thick. I've been using the same clip- ins for about six months and no shedding has occurred. You receive a large amount of hair in one package"""

Love it

I was extremely nervous about ordering this hair but completely loved it. For this hair to be curly it was very manageable. Loved the texture blended great. There was no shedding which for curly hair there tends to be a lot but with this hair there was none. My curls lasted 6months and no doubt would have lasted longer if I didn_t straighten it. But even when I straighten it, it went right back to its natural curl and when it_s straightened it beautiful.
