For voluminous, full, and thick hair that looks beautiful and natural at the same time, few options stand out as much as weft hair extensions. At SWAY Hair Extensions, we want to provide you with the right tools to create your dream hairstyle without having to compromise on quality, comfort, or the health of your hair. That is why our selection of professional weft extensions is one of the most widely-used amongst stylists and customers today.
In our guide, we are going to share the top reasons why we think weft extensions are the best choice you can make for your hair. Whether you’re looking to add length, volume, or just a little something extra, wefts have a solution that’s natural, lightweight, and long-lasting!
10 Reasons to Get Weft Hair Extensions
Reason One: Long-Lasting Results
This is one of the biggest benefits of professional weft hair extensions. Wefts are made to last months at a time with proper aftercare, rather than having to be removed and put in every day.
On average, you can expect SWAY wefts to last 9-12 months with regular salon maintenance, although this varies from client to client depending on the rate your hair grows. This is a huge advantage for many clients.
Being able to have your dream hair every day without having to go to the effort of removing and applying extensions multiple times each week is fantastic. With the right maintenance and aftercare (we recommend the SWAY Hydrate System), your wefts will remain soft, smooth, and salon-fresh for months on end.
Reason Two: Natural-Looking Blend
The best part about extensions? They should not be the most noticeable part of your hair. Wefts are the best at this because the natural blend of hair mimics your own effortlessly.
Because of their low profile and lightweight nature, SWAY wefts sit super flat against your head so they become virtually invisible after styling. In fact, because they're so invisible, they'll allow you to wear your hair in almost any style, whether it is a high ponytail, loose waves, or a straight ponytail.
No more trying to disguise that line or avoid certain styles because of obvious lines! Our XS weft hair extensions are extra slim for even more invisibility for those of you with finer hair who want volume and length without being noticed.
Reason Three: Comfort You Can Rely On
Many people hesitate to try hair extensions because they fear they’ll feel heavy or uncomfortable. At SWAY this isn’t the case at all, our 100% double-drawn Remy human hair extensions are crafted to meet the highest quality standards. These salon-grade extensions are designed with performance and style in mind, offering not only a seamless blend but also incredible durability.
SWAY’s wefts are designed to feel lightweight and flexible, so they move naturally with your hair. When fitted correctly by a salon professional, you should hardly notice them in your day-to-day activities. Whether you’re at the gym, on holiday, or just lounging at home, your extensions should feel as effortless as your own hair.
Reason Four: Versatility in Styling
Weft extensions won't restrict your styling options, they'll provide more options! You'll be able to try out hairstyles you may not have been able to achieve with your natural hair before, such as new volume and length.
Whether you're going for big, bouncy curls to go out or a stylish low bun for work, wefts can be styled as often as you want. Weft hair extensions can even be styled with our heat tools as long as you use heat protection sprays and follow your aftercare routine.
Reason Five: Perfect for Volume & Length
If your natural hair struggles to grow past a certain length, or if it feels thin and lacks body, wefts are the perfect solution. They add instant volume and length without the wait, giving you that dream hair you’ve always wanted.
Many clients opt for wefts not just for length, but for thickness. Even if your hair is already long, adding a weft can help fill it out and create a healthier, fuller look that improves your overall style.
Reason Six: Great for Different Hair Types
Wefts are incredibly versatile and can be adapted to suit different hair types. Whether you have fine hair that needs a delicate touch or thick hair that requires extra coverage, there’s a weft solution for you.
At SWAY, we’ve carefully developed different weft options to suit a variety of clients. Our seamless flat wefts are perfect for those who want natural results with maximum comfort, while our XS wefts are designed for finer hair to provide a safe application without causing strain on your delicate strands.
Reason Seven: Quick Fittings for Professionals
Wefts are also a great option from a stylist’s perspective, as they offer a fast-fitting process that does not hold back on quality. The amount of hair that is put down at one time is more; therefore, the stylist can apply larger portions all at once. This reduces the amount of time it takes to complete the service, allowing your client to walk out feeling transformed while still receiving a salon quality and long-lasting result.
Wefts are a great service to offer from a salon owner’s point of view too. They offer a much-requested service that clients will come back for time and time again.
Reason Eight: Minimal Damage When Applied Correctly
One of the most common misconceptions we hear about extensions is that they damage your hair. In fact, when fitted and cared for properly, wefts are one of the least damaging options out there.
By partnering with a salon professional who is trained on SWAY’s techniques, your natural hair can stay healthy for the entire time you have your extensions in. Along with professional maintenance appointments and the exclusive use of the SWAY Hydrate System, your hair will thrive!
Reason Nine: Cost-Effective Over Time
Wefts can also be a cost-effective option. While professional extensions often come at a premium, wefts are a worthwhile investment with proper care, they can be reused for multiple fittings.
This is because you do not have to buy a new set every time you get them fitted. SWAY Wefts Hair Extensions are great in quality, which means you can have them refitted over and over. If you take care of them, SWAY wefts can last you up to 12 months when paired with maintenance appointments every 6 to 8 weeks.
Reason Ten: A Confidence Boost Like No Other
So what’s the best reason to get weft hair extensions? Confidence! We think there’s nothing better than walking out of the salon and feeling empowered, fabulous, and most importantly, like yourself!
Hair extensions should not just make you look good, but make you feel good too. That’s why many of our clients choose wefts, as it gives them the confidence they need to try new looks and walk into every situation like a pro.
Aftercare: Keeping Your Weft Hair Extensions Looking Flawless
Choosing weft extensions is only the first step. To get the most out of them, you need to follow the right aftercare. At SWAY, we recommend our Hydrate System, which has been specifically designed for our extensions.
Unlike standard salon products that may contain ingredients harmful to extensions, our system keeps your wefts silky, smooth, and strong. Regular maintenance appointments are also essential to keep your natural hair healthy and your extensions securely in place. Your salon professional will advise you on how often to return, depending on your hair type and how fast your hair grows.
