What Are Flat Weft Hair Extensions?
Flat Weft is a lightweight type of semi-permanent Sew-in Hair Extension. It is made from human hair, an ultra-thin silk base, and PU sealing material. The Weft Base is less than 1 mm thick and only about 5 mm wide, making it thin, flat, and flexible.
It features a Return Hair-free design and can be cut to fit different installation areas. After installation, it lies naturally against the scalp without creating a bulky or heavy feel.
How Are Flat Weft Hair Extensions Installed?
Flat Weft is usually installed by a professional hairstylist using a Sew-in method. The hairstylist first evaluates the client’s hair type, hair density, and styling needs. Based on this, they plan the placement and number of Weft layers. The Weft is then cut to fit each installation area.
For installation, silicone micro-beads can be used to create a track with the natural hair. The Flat Weft is then sewn onto this track. Another option is to create a braided base and sew the Weft directly onto it. During installation, the Weft should lie flat and the tension should be evenly distributed. This helps create a secure and natural-looking result.
How Are Flat Weft Hair Extensions Made?
Flat Weft is made from human hair, an ultra-thin silk base, and PU sealing material. During production, workers use a sewing machine to stitch the human hair onto a strip of silk base that is only about 5 mm wide. A double-stitching method is used, with one stitch line above the base and another below it. This keeps the hair evenly arranged and securely attached.
After stitching, PU sealant is applied evenly to the silk base and left to air-dry naturally. Once the PU layer is fully cured, the excess hair at the top is trimmed away. This creates a thin, flat Weft Base with no Return Hair.
Key Features and Benefits of Flat Weft Hair Extensions
- No Return Hair
Flat Weft uses PU material to seal and secure the hair without using folded-back hair for reinforcement. This helps reduce shedding while avoiding the friction or irritation caused by short Return Hair, making it more comfortable to wear. - Lightweight and Comfortable
The Weft Base is less than 1 mm thick and only about 5 mm wide. Its thin, soft structure makes it feel almost weightless when worn. - Natural and Invisible
The Weft lies flat against the scalp after installation, reducing visible bumps or bulk. It can be easily hidden under natural hair for a seamless, natural-looking blend. - Easy to Cut and Customize
The Weft can be cut at any point based on the head shape, installation area, and styling needs. This makes it easy to customize the Weft length and installation layout.
