Care Note for Stylists
Hand-tied wefts should not be cut across the weft, because cutting can release hair. Stack multiple wefts to fit wider rows, or choose Genius Weft when cutting is needed.
Who Stocks Our Hand-Tied Extensions
High-end salons and extension specialists, most of them in North America. They offer hand-tied rows as a premium service, and the 25 g weft lets them build light, flat rows for clients with fine hair.
How Hand-Tied Wefts Are Installed
- 1Section a straight row and add a line of micro beads along it
- 2Thread a sewing string through the beads
- 3Stack 1 to 2 wefts (50 g) or 2 to 3 wefts (25 g) to the row width and sew them to the string
- 4Repeat for 1 to 3 rows A full head usually takes 2 to 4 wefts at 50 g, or 4 to 8 at 25 g.
Because the weft is so thin, it lies completely flat, even with stacked wefts.
Ordering Shades and Weights
Because the weft cannot be cut, order 25 g wefts in the client's shade if you need narrower pieces for the front row.
Aftercare Tips for Clients
- Never cut across a hand-tied weft; if the ends must be trimmed, seal them with weft sealer before installing
- Keep tension off the knotted top edge when brushing and sleeping, because the hand-tied knots are finer than a machine seam
- Other care is the same as our genius wefts: gentle root washing, a fully dried row and a move-up every 6 to 8 weeks

Questions About Hand-Tied Extensions
How long do hand-tied installs last?
Installs are usually moved up every 6 to 8 weeks. The hair itself can be re-used for several months with proper care.
25 g or 50 g wefts?
25 g wefts give stylists more flexibility in fine hair. 50 g wefts suit standard installs.
Why do hand-tied wefts cost more than genius wefts?
The hair is knotted onto the thread by hand, a small section at a time, so one technician makes far fewer wefts a day than a machine line. The hair grade is the same. Both weft types can be reused for 2 to 3 move-ups.
Do hand-tied wefts shed?
Some light shedding is normal at first. Avoid cutting across the weft and seal the ends with weft sealer if trimmed.
Can 25 g and 50 g wefts count toward the same MOQ?
Yes. The MOQ is 5 wefts per color, with mixed weights and lengths allowed.
