CHOOSE YOUR BEST WEFT: GENIUS vs. HAND TIED
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 are delicate and should NEVER be cut with scissors, as this can cause them to unravel into individual strands, leading to potential damage.
While some stylists may attempt to cut and seal Hand Tied wefts with glue, this practice is not recommended for maintaining the integrity of the extensions. Instead, these wefts are best managed by stacking and folding to achieve a seamless fit on the client's head. Despite their thinness, stacking and folding do not compromise the wefts' natural appearance or comfort, ensuring a flawless blend with the client's natural hair.
Now, here’s the exciting part: Genius Weft introduces a groundbreaking feature. Unlike Hand Tied wefts, Genius Weft CAN be cut anywhere along its length, offering unparalleled customization options. This versatility allows stylists to create smaller pieces for strategic placement or to achieve a precise fit tailored to the client’s head shape and hairstyle preferences. Imagine the flexibility of Hand Tied hair with the added advantage of customizable cutting—it’s truly a stroke of GENIUS!
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!
