Weft Extensions Hairstyles
One of the biggest myths about hair extensions is that they will limit the different styles that you can play with. Nothing could be further from the truth!
If you choose to go with weft extensions, there are so many different hairstyles to choose from. We have picked out a few of the most popular here to help you get an idea of just how much room you have to play!
High & Low Ponytails
High or low ponytails are always popular options for people looking at weft hair extensions, and it is so easy to see why. They’re striking, stylish, and natural.
These are great choices for anyone who wants the length and luxurious feeling of natural hair, and we have a range of different colour and texture options to help you to find the perfect fit.
High & Low Buns
If you want the striking effect of the high or low style but you do not want the length of the ponytail, then you should definitely think about high and low buns.
Much like high and low ponytails, these are very good choices if you are going for your first weft hair extension, and you want to get a feel for what it is going to look like.
Mermaid Waves
Mermaid waves are so popular right now and they are one of the most requested styles when people are looking for weft hair extensions.
Inspired by the natural beach look, this is always a favourite for anyone heading for a summer holiday by the sea. They look effortless, and the good news is that with a weft weave they are easier than ever.
Vintage Waves
Everyone loves the retro glamour look, and vintage waves are always a wonderful way to bring a little Hollywood style to your aesthetic.
These deep waves look amazing on longer hair, which is why a weft hair extension is a great choice for anyone who wants to go vintage. They’re also perfect for weddings and events.
Textured Waves
The phrase “textured waves” covers a lot of ground, but the simplest way to sum it up is by simply saying that it is a unique look that says a lot about the person who wears it.
Textured waves do not conform to any pre-set pattern; they are unique and distinct, and they are the perfect look for your summer. Talk to the team at RiRi about your textured waves options.
Weave Hair Extensions
Weave hair extensions are one of the most popular ways to add length and body to your hair. It is also one of the most natural and secure options.
Weave hair extensions are sewn into a braid. Once they are in, they do not slip, and the only hair they affect is the braid they are sewn into. They are also famously low maintenance, which is great news.
Weft Extensions for Short Hair
The common assumption with weft extensions is that you already need to have long hair in order to use them. While you can wear weft extensions with short hair, there are a couple of things to be aware of.
Generally speaking, the minimum length of hair that you can have to wear weft extensions is three inches. It can also be trickier to blend weft extensions with short hair but you can talk to our team about your options!
Weft Extensions for Fine Hair
Similarly, a lot of people ask us whether they can use weft extensions if they have fine hair. The answer is yes, and that it could actually be the perfect fit.
Because weft hair extensions cause no damage to your hair when they are being applied, and because they are so resilient, they are a great fit if you are worried about how your hair will handle the pressure of extensions.
How To Apply Weft Hair Extensions
First things first: it is always best to go to a hair extension specialist or a stylist to have your weft hair extensions put in, as it is a fiddly process! But if you want to learn more about how it’s done, let’s break it down.
The weft is the name for a braid that the hair extensions are sewn into. Sometimes the stylist will create this braid from the client’s own hair, but it can also be a machine-made braid that is then sewn in.
- The hair is parted where the extensions will go.
- A braid is either woven or sewn in.
- The braid is attached using silicon beads if it is artificial.
- The artificial hair is sewn into the braid.
- The hair is brushed carefully to complete the look.
The reason why weft hair extensions are so popular is because everything is so straightforward and natural. The impact on your hair is limited, too. Talk to us about whether it might be right for you!
