Discover Different Types of Human Hair Weave Methods in the UK

Posted by Ms Diane Mead on July 31st, 2019

Human hair weaves in the UK are made of natural human hair and can, therefore, be coloured and styled as usual, unlike synthetic versions. They are available in varying colours, sizes, styles, and lengths, but those that you'll find in professional salons typically range from 14 inches to 22 inches. They can be cut according to your requirements.

The best type of human hair weaves in the UK

Because of the popularity of hair extensions, there has been an overwhelming number of brands and types of human hair weaves in the UK. One of the finest of all them is called Remy. Unlike other types, Remy cuticles are kept intact during the manufacturing process, and they go in one direction. You can expect less tangling and matting.

There are several hair weave methods. To know which one works for you, you need to understand how they differ from each other.

• Bonding Method - This is one of the most popular weaving methods because it can dramatically enhance the hair’s vibrant streaks. Adhesive glue is used to attach hair wefts to the roots of the hair. Some soft bonds can last up to 6 weeks.

• Tracking Method - Your natural hair is braided around your head in the form of concentric circles, and the extensions are attached with the sewn braids. Wash and care for your hair as usual.

• Fusion Method - Bets used for hair wefts, the fusion method is versatile and results in natural-looking weaves. A machine similar to a hot glue gun is used to attach the extensions to the natural hair. Wash it as you would your natural hair. Another option is to opt for cold fusion extensions that are made of human hair and don’t require any heating elements to apply.

• Netting Method - In this method, your natural hair is braided into a thin and breathable net, which then creates a flat surface for styling the weave. This method may be better than tracking if you want styling flexibility.

• Clip in Method- This is the method to choose if you want to be able to remove your extensions easily.

Why choose human hair?

Nothing beats human hair weaves when it comes to a natural look and feel. They are more expensive than their synthetic counterparts, but they also last longer (up to 2-3 months) when cared for properly.
