MICRO TIED HAIR EXTENSIONS

You’ve heard of hand tied hair extensions, those extensions which are created by hand and provide a comfortable and seamless, natural look, but… have you heard of micro tied extensions? 

If not, don’t worry, you are not alone! In the ever-changing hair extension industry, it can be tough to keep up with the latest trends and innovations and micro tied hair extensions are a relatively new type of hair extension that some stylists are just beginning to use and talk about.

WHAT ARE MICRO TIED HAIR EXTENSIONS?

Micro tied extensions are a relatively new type of hair extension weft that is machine made but has similar qualities to hand tied extensions. They are sometimes referred to by other names such as hybrid wefts or micro wefts, but all refer to a hair extension weft that is a blend of qualities from both hand tied hair extension wefts and machine wefts.

Features:

(1)Similar durability and the ability to be cut anywhere along the weft line are characteristics micro tied extensions share with machine made wefts;

(2) lightweight, thin, and can be installed using hand tied extension methods all similar to hand tied wefts. This makes them a great choice for many people who are considering hair extensions.

MICRO TIED HAIR EXTENSIONS VS HAND TIED HAIR EXTENSIONS

1.Production:

--Hand tied extensions are made by hand (hand tied)

---while micro tied hair extensions are made with a machine.

2.INSTALLATION:

--micro tied wefts have the benefit of being able to be cut almost anywhere along the weft because they are machine made.

Typically any machine wefts are less prone to unraveling than a traditional hand tied extension

--a traditional hand tied weft can’t be cut just anywhere along the weft because it may cause unraveling

BENEFITS OF MICRO TIED HAIR EXTENSIONS

1.COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE

Being able to cut anywhere, makes fitting the wefts seamless

2. LIGHTWEIGHT & COMFORTABLE

Installation using a hand tied extension method plus the thinness of the weft, puts less stress on your natural hair

3. DURABLE

less prone to shedding and generally more durable than hand tied wefts

4.NATURAL / SEAMLESS LOOK

The thinness of the micro tied weft allows for the extensions to lay flatter on the head and being able to customize the length of the weft makes it easier to blend with your natural hair for a beautiful, natural look and feel.
