Human Hair Weaves

There are two types of hair weaves

Usually a small treft hair is collected which the human hair weave is then braided or knotted around. It is usually then secured with wax, glue, or heat. Any of these are bound to ruin the hair. Sometimes iron clamps are used. These can first be very heavy on the hair and secondly be uncomfortable.

Also, the chemicals needed to remove these human hair weave can sometimes be damaging.

Wafts is a much safer method of a human hair weave. Wafts means that a bunch of hair is sewn across a ribbon. When these wafts are handmade they can also provide you with quite a natural look.
