Machine Weft

FAQs

• How are Machine Wefts different from Genius, hand-tied, and flat wefts?

  Machine Weft is made with a traditional machine-sewn construction, using one base stitching step and two fold-and-stitch steps to create a stable weft edge. Compared with Genius, hand-tied, and flat wefts, it has a more efficient production process and a more accessible price point. It can also be cut freely to fit different installation needs without easily unraveling.

• What salon services work best with Machine Weft?

  Machine Weft works well for standard sew-in extension services that focus on adding length, fullness, or both. It is a practical option for salons that want to offer reliable, real human hair extensions at a more accessible price point for everyday length and volume services.

• What should salons check before buying Machine Weft wholesale?

  Start by checking the hair quality, including softness, smoothness, and whether the hair feels consistent from top to end. Then confirm the weight, length, and total weft width match your service needs. It is also important to inspect both ends of the weft and make sure the stitching is secure. Gently comb through the hair several times to check for shedding. A few loose hairs can be normal, especially hairs that were not fully caught during sewing. However, heavy or repeated shedding may indicate a problem with the stitching or weft construction.

• Who are Machine Wefts best for?

  Machine Weft is generally best for clients with medium to thicker natural hair who want to add length, volume, or both. It can also be a practical option for first-time semi-permanent extension clients seeking a more affordable price point.

• Do Machine Wefts have return hair?

  Yes. Machine Weft usually has a small amount of return hair, typically around 1 cm. This is because the hair is folded and stitched twice during production, securing the roots within a layered weft structure. Unlike fully sealed wefts, Machine Weft mainly relies on stitching to hold the hair in place, helping keep the weft stable and reducing the risk of hair slipping out from the seam.

• Can I cut GISTAR Machine Wefts to customize the size?

  Yes. GISTAR Machine Weft can be cut into different lengths based on the installation area. Because the weft is secured with multiple rows of stitching, it does not usually unravel or shed heavily when cut correctly.

• How long do GISTAR Machine Wefts last?

  With correct installation, proper daily care, and regular maintenance appointments, GISTAR Machine Weft can typically last 12 months or longer.

• Can GISTAR Machine Wefts be reused?

  Yes. During each maintenance appointment, the stylist can remove the weft, check the condition of the hair and stitched seam, clean and prepare it, then reinstall it when the condition is suitable.

• What is the MOQ for wholesale Machine Weft?

  For in-stock Machine Weft, the MOQ is 100g. For custom orders, the MOQ depends on the requested color, weight, hair ratio, texture, and other specifications. In most cases, the MOQ does not exceed 300g.

• Can I mix colors, lengths, or hair ratios in one Machine Weft wholesale order?

  Yes. You can mix colors, lengths, and hair ratios in one wholesale order. Please share your required specifications with us, and we will help confirm the available options and MOQ for each item.

• Do you keep Machine Weft in ready stock?

  Yes. GISTAR maintains a year-round stock of more than 40 market-proven Machine Weft colors. Once order details are confirmed, in-stock items can be shipped as quickly as the same day.

• What can be customized for Machine Weft?

  Machine Weft can be customized in length, color, texture, curl pattern, hair ratio, weft width, weight, and sewing method. Custom packaging and branding options may also be available based on your order requirements.

• What is the Machine Weft width for each length?

  Machine Weft width varies by hair length to keep the right balance between fullness and base comfort. In the same 100g weight, shorter hair has more strands, so it requires a longer weft to distribute the hair evenly and avoid an overly thick stitched base. Longer hair has fewer strands, so a shorter weft helps maintain a fuller appearance after the weft is opened. Typical weft widths are approximately 150cm (59in) for 14”, 130cm (51in) for 16”–18”, 120cm (47in) for 20”, 110cm (43in) for 22”–24”, 100cm (39in) for 26”–28”, and 90cm (35in) for 30”. Actual weft width may vary by ±10cm (±4 in) depending on hair characteristics and production requirements. If you have a preferred weft width, we can also customize it based on your request.
