Butterfly weft is one of the methods we recommend most often at our salon at Skolgatan 49 in Uppsala. It's a hand-tied hair weft where the short hairs are folded in rather than folded up, giving an unusually thin edge with no return hairs at all. The weft lies flat against the head and doesn't add bulk at the attachment.
How the installation works
We start by looking at your hair's starting point together, choosing the length and matching the colour. Then we clamp micro rings into your own hair so they form a hidden row close to the scalp, and attach the butterfly weft to the rings through its pre-punched holes. Nothing is sewn – no glue, no heat and no chemicals. Finally, we cut the extensions in so the blend is invisible and go through the aftercare advice with you. The whole treatment is described step by step on our page about butterfly weft installation.
Who is the method for?
Butterfly weft suits most hair types, but it really comes into its own if you have fine or thin hair and have felt in the past that attachments could be felt or seen. It's also a good choice if you often wear your hair up, as the thin edge won't give itself away in a high ponytail.
Durability and move-up
We move the hair up after one to two months, depending on how quickly your own hair grows. The hair itself can be reused several times if it's cared for properly, so next time you only pay for the reinstallation. How to care for butterfly weft walks you through the routine.
The hair we use
We use our Luxury butterfly weft in 100% human Remy hair, 50 grams per pack. It comes in straight, wavy and curly textures, and in a wide range of colours including base shades, ombré, piano and balayage. You can buy the hair from us or bring your own.
