Weft hair extensions are a versatile and popular choice for those looking to add volume, length, or thickness to their hair. However, the way they’re installed can significantly impact their longevity and your hair’s health. At LDL International, we specialise in a safe and effective method that has stood the test of time – not only for our clients but for our founder as well!
Let’s explore the various methods of installing weft hair extensions, their pros and cons, and why our approach is the best choice for long-term, beautiful results.
Methods of Installing Weft Hair Extensions
1. Beaded Methods
In this approach, small beads are used to attach the wefts to your natural hair. While quick and convenient, this method often skips sewing the weft into place, making it prone to slippage. The result? More frequent salon visits for adjustments and, in some cases, damage to your natural hair.
2. Beaded and Sewn-In Methods
This hybrid technique is a safer option. The beads are used to anchor the weft in place, and the weft is then sewn securely for added stability. This method reduces the risk of slippage and ensures the extensions stay in place longer, allowing for a more natural and seamless look.
3. French Braid (Sew-In) Method
This involves creating a braid along the scalp and sewing the weft onto the braid. While it may sound secure, this method can be bulky and uncomfortable. When installed too tightly, it may pull on the hair at the braid’s edges, leading to tension alopecia over time. This method is less common today due to these risks and its tendency to compromise hair health.
The LDL International Difference: Our Signature Method
At LDL International, we have perfected our installation technique over the last 20 years, ensuring it’s the safest and most effective option for long-term wear.
• Gentle on Your Hair
Our method combines the security of beads with the durability of sewing, creating a balanced approach that doesn’t tug or pull on your natural hair. This reduces the risk of breakage or hair loss, even for those with fine or fragile hair.
• Proven Results
Many of our clients have been wearing our wefts for years, enjoying not only stunning hair extensions but also healthier natural hair growth. As the founder, I’ve worn our method for years – and despite having naturally fine hair, my locks remain in fantastic condition.
• Customised for You
Every installation is tailored to suit your unique hair type and needs, ensuring a flawless result that’s comfortable, seamless, and long-lasting.
Why the Right Method Matters
The installation method you choose isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about the health of your hair. Incorrect techniques can lead to issues like tension alopecia, frequent slippage, or damaged wefts. That’s why it’s essential to choose a trusted salon with experienced professionals who prioritise both your extensions and your natural hair.
