When exploring premium hair extension options, many customers ask: What are weft hair extensions? At EMEDA Hair, a leading professional 6D hair extension factory, we’re here to guide you through everything you need to know about weft extensions—including their types, craftsmanship, and hair quality.
Weft hair extensions are strands of hair sewn or bonded together at the top to create a continuous “weft” or track. These extensions are widely used by hair professionals for their versatility, volume, and natural blending capabilities. Weft extensions can be applied through sewing, gluing, or beading techniques depending on the desired look and client needs.
At EMEDA Hair, we specialize in producing high-quality weft extensions with 100% virgin human hair, ensuring longevity, softness, and a tangle-free experience.
Weft hair extensions generally fall into two main categories:
As the name suggests, machine wefts are created using a sewing machine that stitches the hair into a sturdy, uniform track. EMEDA Hair offers two subtypes under machine wefts:
Our bundle weft is the traditional, thick-stitched version that offers durability and density. It is ideal for clients seeking full volume and long-lasting wear. EMEDA bundle wefts are double-drawn and available in various lengths and textures, perfect for professional salons and wholesale distributors.
A newer innovation in the market, the genius weft is much thinner and flatter than traditional machine wefts. At EMEDA Hair, our genius wefts are seamless, flexible, and virtually invisible when installed, making them perfect for fine-haired clients. They can also be cut without unraveling, a huge plus for hairstylists seeking customization.
Handmade or hand-tied wefts are meticulously crafted by hand, offering a more delicate and flexible structure. EMEDA’s handmade wefts are prized for their lightweight, natural appearance and minimal bulk, making them ideal for those with fine or sensitive scalps.
Each hand-tied weft takes hours to produce, reflecting the artisanal care and quality EMEDA Hair is known for. These wefts lie flat against the scalp and are perfect for layering without adding weight or tension.
All EMEDA weft extensions are made from 100% cuticle-aligned virgin human hair. This ensures the hair retains its natural texture, shine, and strength. Our hair can be bleached, colored, and styled just like your natural hair—without tangling or matting.
As a factory-direct supplier, EMEDA ensures strict quality control and ethical sourcing at every step. Whether machine-made or handmade, every weft is inspected thoroughly before shipment.
With advanced manufacturing techniques and a professional R&D team, EMEDA Hair can offer customized solutions including color, length, texture, and packaging. Our wefts are supplied to top salons, wholesalers, and stylists in over 50 countries.
Each client or stylist has different preferences, hair types, and styling goals. That’s why at EMEDA Hair, we offer a full range of weft types designed to suit various application techniques, hair textures, and budgets. Whether you’re looking for fullness, invisibility, or flexibility, there’s a weft option tailored for your needs.

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your weft hair extensions, proper care is essential. At EMEDA Hair, we recommend the following tips to ensure your extensions stay soft, shiny, and reusable for months:
Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo: Always use mild, sulfate-free products to avoid drying out the hair.
Detangle Gently: Use a wide-tooth comb or extension brush, starting from the tips and working your way up.
Air Dry When Possible: Avoid excessive heat. Let your extensions air dry naturally to preserve their structure.
Avoid Oily Roots: Apply conditioners or oils from mid-length to ends, avoiding the weft base to prevent slippage or buildup.
Store Properly: When not in use, store your wefts in a dry, breathable container or hang them neatly to avoid tangles.
With proper care, EMEDA weft extensions can last up to 6–12 months depending on usage frequency and maintenance.
To make the best choices in sourcing or applying weft hair extensions, it’s valuable to understand the broader context and technical differences compared to other extension types. EMEDA Hair brings not only high-end products but also expert knowledge to support our clients in staying ahead of the market.
Weft extensions offer versatility and are compatible with several professional installation techniques:
Sew-In (Braided Method)
Common in African and textured hair markets, the stylist braids the client’s natural hair and sews the weft on top using a curved needle. This method provides durability and fullness.
Beaded Weft (Micro Link Weft)
Suitable for clients with medium to thick hair, this method uses small silicone-lined beads to attach the weft without glue or braids. EMEDA’s genius weft is especially popular for this technique due to its thin track and flexibility.
Invisible Bead Method
A trending technique among top-tier stylists in Europe and North America. It involves strategic placement of beads and wefts to hide seams, perfect for EMEDA’s hand-tied and genius wefts.
Glue-In/Adhesive Weft
While less durable, this is a quick-fix method for short-term styling. Stylists apply a bonding agent to the weft and adhere it directly to sections of the client’s hair.
EMEDA recommends professional installation to ensure the health of the client’s natural hair and the longevity of the wefts.
