Qingdao Huida Hair Co.’s machine weft hair extensions require no tape, glue or heat for application.  This is one continuous weft of hair that can be cut into smaller pieces to be customized for various head shapes.  The machine weft is slightly larger than the hand-tied weft.  If you decide to cut the weft to fit your needs, you must add some hair glue to the edges to prevent the thread from unraveling and shedding.

The Differences Between Wefts Hand Tied vs. Machine Tied

Sewing in wefts of hair is one of the oldest methods around when it comes to extensions. Even though weft extensions have been around for a long time, their mainstream popularity has spiked over the last couple of years. This is understandable when you start scrolling through Instagram and seeing all of these “hand tied weft” extension makeover posts, they look amazing! But with that being said, a common misconception that clients can have is referring to hand tied extensions, or requesting and appointment for such, is what the physical application of the hair extensions is called. It can be easy to think this, as the weft of hair is sewn into the clients own hair and the thread is then tied off to secure it. But this is not what “hand tied” is actually referring to. The “hand tied” refers to the way that the hair extensions themselves are made. Hand tied wefts are produced by manually tying hair to the extension seam and knotting it in place by hand. This method allows to create a very strong, but much thinner weft in comparison to machine tied.

As it sounds by the namesake, machine tied wefts are produced by using an industrial sewing machine to attach hair to the weft. Because the sewing machine would require the weft to be big enough to grip while sewing the hair to it, machine tied wefts are heavier and denser that hand tied wefts are. Hand tied wefts can be made much finer than machine wefts can, and because of this stylists are able to layer more hand tied hair without putting extra weight and tension on the clients hair and scalp.

COST

Hand tied wefts cost more than machine tied, because with any artisan product they are much more labor intensive to make. It takes much more time for a person to produce the hair by hand  than it does to feeding hair into a machine.
