Why Bohyme Hand-Tied Extensions Are the Best in the Industry — A Complete Guide

 

If you've been searching for the best hand-tied hair extensions on the market, you've already found them. Bohyme has been setting the standard in the hair extension industry since 1978 — long before hand-tied wefts became the most requested install method in salons worldwide. As the original creators of Remi® hair, we don't just follow trends. We engineer them.

This guide covers everything you need to know about Bohyme Hand-Tied Wefts — what makes them different, which collection is right for your client, what textures are available, and how to choose the perfect length and color for every install.


What Are Hand-Tied Extensions — and Why Do They Matter?

Hand-tied extensions are widely regarded as the most natural, comfortable, and long-lasting weft method available. Unlike machine-tied wefts, Bohyme Hand-Tied Weft creation takes 3 to 5 days — hair strands are hand-sewn by skilled, trained technicians onto one continuous thread and knotted securely to prevent shedding. Bohyme

The result? A weft that is ultra-thin, highly flexible, and virtually invisible at the scalp. Bohyme Hand-Tied Hair can be heat styled and is ultra-lightweight, allowing for multiple wefts to be layered for multi-dimension color blending without damage to natural hair. The weft is durable, long-lasting, and less visible on the scalp. Bohyme

For clients who want length, volume, and movement that looks and feels completely natural — hand-tied is the answer. For stylists who want an install that holds, moves, and keeps clients coming back — Bohyme hand-tied is the only answer.
