Everything you need to know about Butterfly Weft
Butterfly Weft – a Hand-Tied Edge With No Return Hair
In a machine-sewn hair weft the short strands are folded upwards and form return hair, which gives a thicker and stiffer edge. In a butterfly weft the strands are folded inwards instead, so the edge stays soft and thin. The difference shows above all when you wear your hair up or run your hand through it.
It is never sewn
The weft has pre-drilled holes that the microrings are threaded through. No needle, no glue, no heat and no chemicals. It can also be cut to width without shedding, which means it is adapted to your head rather than the other way round.
Move-ups and reuse
Move-ups are done every two to three months, since the weft sits on microrings. The hair can be reused several times – only the rings are replaced.
Textures, lengths and colors
Straight and wavy come in 50, 60 and 70 cm. Curly comes in 50 cm. Straight has the widest color range with 14 shades. Ombré is written with R and the root first, piano with P and the darkest color first, and balayage is written out in full.
How much hair do you need?
Most people need between one and four rows depending on hair thickness, desired length and texture. If you only want more thickness, 50 to 100 grams is usually enough. For both length and fullness most people land at 150 to 200 grams. Each pack contains 50 grams.
Is it right for fine hair?
Yes, and that is often where the method comes into its own. The thin edge and the even distribution of weight mean fine hair is under less strain than with heavier attachments. We adjust the amount to what your own hair can carry.
