The advantages and disadvantages of Hand-tied Weft Hair Extensions
Hand-tied wefts are one of the best choices for hair extensions.

However, hand-tied hair extension also has its own dark side. Here are a few pros and cons:
(1)The Advantages of Hand-tied Weft Hair Extensions
There are plenty of reasons why hand-tied may be a better option than other hair extensions, including the following:
-
Glamourous volume, fullness, and length that looks 100% natural
-
Very little stress on the scalp or the roots with the proper installation method
-
No tension, tugging, or damage to the natural hair
-
Unlimited styling possibilities (including ponytails, buns, and updo styles)
-
Relatively undetectable as rows lay flat to the head, even in fine, thin, or sleek hair
-
Appropriate for active lifestyles, including swimming, and high temperatures
-
Can be customized in color for the ultimate match to the natural hair
-
Can be layered to give proper weight distribution based on natural hair density
-
These extensions do not require an application of adhesive or heat, so a removal product is not necessary, and there is no residue left behind after removal.

-
Initial installation requires a significant investment of both times (2-5 hours) and money.
- Extensions must be moved up every 6-8 weeks as the hair grows out
- Frequent brushing and maintenance are needed to keep hand-tied extensions looking their best
- You must dry the attachment area well since leaving it wet can lead to mold in the hair and knotting.
