In an extra weft structure one weft yarn is used to weave a ground cloth and an additional weft is inserted at intervals to create a decorative pattern on the surface on the cloth. The ground cloth is usually woven with a simple structure such as a plain or twill weave to enhance the extra weft but other structures can be used.

What is a weft hair extension?
What are weft hair extensions? Weft extensions are made from real human hair (Zala ensures this is sourced ethically), sewn by hand or by machine onto a weft – which is a horizontal stripe.
How long do weft extensions last?
These weft extensions can last you for 3-6+ months. But you have to visit your stylist every six to eight weeks to have them moved up a bit, depending on your hair’s natural growth rate. The specialist may also need to trim them a little with each application to keep them looking healthy and full.
Why do you need to have tape in wefts installed?
It’s always a good idea to have the tape-in wefts installed by a professional because improper installation or removal could result in damage to your natural hair.
How many times can you reapply tape in extensions?
Cons: Unlike clip-in extensions, you cannot reapply tape-in extensions more than two or three times.
Can you clip reusable hair extensions?
Pros: These extensions are excellent for newbies looking to experiment with their hair without a permanent commitment. You can clip these reusable hair extensions in and out whenever you want.
Can you use weft extensions on natural hair?
Do not choose weft extensions if your natural hair is especially delicate and weak because it can cause further damage to your hair. Depending on your hair’s condition and hair goals, you may be better off with clip-in, halo, or other sorts of extensions. Consult your stylist for an expert opinion!
Do hair extensions come with adhesive tape?
Tape-in hair extensions come with adhesive tape on the strip. These also need to be applied by a hair extension specialist/hairdresser – so be sure your professional can provide the service before purchasing. It is crucial to align the wefts with your own hair’s roots as perfectly as possible to get the best results.
