We will simplify it so you can pick the one that suits your lifestyle best.

Hand-tied Extensions: The Semi-Permanent Solution

Genius weft Hand-tied extensions are the newest semi-permanent hand-tied hair extension design that allows you to cut the weft anywhere along the seam for the perfect fit and no wasted hair. Our Genius Weft is incredibly thin, flat, and light, making it our most invisible weft. Genius wefts lay as flat as hand-tied. You can expect the same high-quality double-drawn human hair extensions that you have come to know and love from our seamless hair extensions by Cashmere Hair. Each set is a half pack to allow for customizable color selection. 


PROS:

  • Duration of wear: Hand-tied extensions are usually stitched into small bundles of natural hair and can last 6 -8 weeks.

  • Always On: You can go without removing it every day - your longer hair is at hand whenever you need it. 

CONS:

  • Maintenance: Salon visits every now and then to tighten and maintain are a must.

  • Scalp Tension: The taut wefts may cause tension or pain, particularly when you have a sensitive scalp.

  • Greater Expense in the Long Run: Adding the costs of installation and frequent servicing visits, it can be quite expensive.
