Hairweft is the hair itself.
There is a long line of real hair that:
• lies flat
• is thin and flexible
• sewn or attached in rows close to the scalp
• can be adjusted to your head and hairstyle

The hair weft is the basis of both methods.

This uses small rings that are clamped onto thin sections of your own hair.
