Micro Bead Hair Extension Beads Vs. Sew-in Wefts

Hair By: Shun

Extension beads and sewn-in wefts are two different things in the world of hair weaving. Each one involves a different weaving technique, type of extension hair and tools. If you don’t have a clue what these differences are, you’re going to have a bit of trouble deciding between the two. That means before you can join the ranks of weave-wearing women, you have some learning to do. Understanding how sewn-in wefts differ from extension beads will help you pick the right way to get the gorgeous look that you want.
Types of Hair
Segments of human or synthetic hair sewn onto a woven band are called weft hair. This type of extension hair is what your hair stylist (or you) will use to create sewn-in weft weaves. It comes in various lengths, colors and textures. When using bead extensions, bulk hair is the type of hair that’s used. Bulk hair is not attached to a weft. It is loose hair sold in packages that can be separated for strand-by-strand hair weaving, such as in micro bead extensions.
Extension Beads
Hair extension beads are also known as microbeads. They are small beads or rings used for creating microlink or microbead extensions. This type of extension relies on the beads to hold the extension hair and your natural hair securely together. This is done by pulling a small amount of your natural hair through an extension bead along with an equal amount of the extension hair. The bead is then crimped closed over the strands of hair using a tool. This is repeated throughout the hair to complete your new look.
Sewn-in Wefts
Sewn-in wefts are wefts of hair sewn onto your natural hair. This is also known as sew-in or sewn-in extensions. To create your new look using the sewn-in wefts technique, your natural hair gets braided into several rows of small cornrows. Once your natural mane is safely braided and out-of-the-way, the weft of human or synthetic hair is carefully sewn onto it. This is repeated for each row, or track, of cornrows until all of the extension hair is attached.
Tools You’re Going to Need
Either style can be done by professionals or you can do it at home if you have the right skills and tools. Sewn-in wefts require hair weaving thread and either a straight or curved hair weaving needle (these have a blunt edge so there’s no worry of accidental stab wounds as you weave). You also must know how to braid well enough to create cornrows that are firm, but not overly tight. If extensions beads are your method of weave attaching choice, the necessary tools include a crimping tool in addition to the beads.

Burt’s Bee’s Sensitive Night Cream Review Skin care is something super important if you want to A. Have great skin and B. Have great makeup; so it makes sense to use a product which benefits the skin. After all, every one want’s to look great with and without the help of makeup. Burt’s Bee’s claims that there sensitive night cream provides moisture to the skin for 8 hours without causing redness or irritation. Does it do that? Well sort of… When I use a moisturiser or more specifically a night cream I like to use something that absorbs into the skin almost instantly so I don’t have to worry about product transferring onto pillows, clothing, etc and that’s one thing that I truly love about this product.
