Creating the hair of your clients' dreams starts with choosing the perfect, most compatible weft to best suit their needs & lifestyle. But, with so many weft options, making that decision can be overwhelming. We're here to give you the breakdown between two of our most popular wefts, Genius Weft & Hand Tied. Both are flat, flexible & undetectable & made with 100% Remi human hair, but there’s some key differences. Check out this comparison to better choose which weft is best for your clients!
Folded Over Hair
Bohyme Hand Tied Wefts are designed with about 1" of return or folded over hair. Hand tied hair extensions are hand sewn by skilled, trained technicians onto a continuous thread and knotted. This process not only results in a strong, micro-thin weft, but also the presence of return hairs, which are shorter near the top of the weft. For many clients, return hair is not an issue. But, for those with sensitive scalps, this folded over hair can cause irritation & itchiness.
Genius Weft has ZERO folded over hair. No return hair means it's more comfortable to wear for those with sensitive scalps.
Hair Density
Want to create amazing color blends for clients? Hand Tied extensions are the way to go! They're less dense, so you can layer multiple shades without a weft completely covering up the other. All the colors will have a chance to peek through for a seamless blend with lots of dimension. But, don’t worry because less density doesn’t equal a lower quality of hair or weft.
Thin & lightweight, Genius Weft is much more dense than Hand Tied extensions. Color blends are still possible with this weft, but it’s a much better fit if you’re #1 priority is adding thickness & length to a client’s style.
Cut-ability
Hand Tied wefts should NOT be cut. And if you do use your scissors on this type of weft, it will unravel into a pile of individual strands. Some stylists still cut the weft and seal the ends with glue, but that process is not recommended. Instead, Hand Tied wefts can be stacked & should be folded to fit a client's head. They’re so thin though, that stacking & folding won’t add bulk.
Ready for incredible news?! Genius Weft CAN be cut anywhere for easy customization! You get the look and feel of Hand Tied hair, but with the ability to cut the weft. Create smaller pieces to fill in areas or make the perfect fit to your client’s head with ease. We like to think of Genius Weft as a Hand Tied that you can cut! It’s GENIUS! Pun intended.
Final Thoughts
Want a thin weft without any folded over hair, that’s more dense & you can cut? Go with Genius Weft. It’s our pick, too, if your main goal is to add thickness and/or length.
Not too worried about return hair? Want to create a dimensional color blend without adding bulk? Like using a weft that you don’t cut to customize? Hand Tied Wefts are perfect for you!
