High-end salons, extension specialists and brands, most of them in North America. Salons pick genius wefts when they want a thin beaded-row install that stylists can cut to any head width, without the slower hand-tied production behind it.
How Genius Wefts Are Installed
- 1Section a straight row across the back of the head
- 2Create a row of beads or a braided track along the section
- 3Measure the weft to the row and cut it to size No sealing needed.
- 4Stack 1 to 2 wefts and sew them to the beads or track
- 5Add rows as needed for length and volume
Move-ups are usually every 6 to 8 weeks. The hair can be reused for several installs.
Shades for Beaded Rows
Rooted and balayage shades are the easiest way to hide the beaded row at the root on lighter clients, because the darker root sits right over the beads.
Aftercare Tips for Clients
- Keep heavy conditioner off the weft line and the beads
- Dry the weft line fully after every wash, because damp rows can stretch and loosen
- Sleep with the hair in a loose braid to keep tension off the row
Brushing, move-ups and how long wefts last are covered in our guide to how long hair extensions last.

Genius Weft FAQ
How many wefts does a full head need?
Usually 2 to 4 wefts (100 g to 200 g), depending on the client's hair and the volume desired.
Can I brand the wefts?
Yes. We can add branded weft tags and package wefts in your custom boxes.
Can genius wefts go on a braided track instead of beads?
Yes. Stylists sew them to a braided track for clients with thick or textured hair, where beads slip, and to a bead row for fine hair. The weft is the same; only the row changes.
How many genius wefts make up the MOQ?
5 wefts per color, with mixed lengths allowed. That is about one to two full heads in one shade.
