Nowadays, it's worth noting that more and more hairstylists are switching hand-tied and machine-tied wefts to genius wefts. This is a revolutionary improvement on hair extensions and it’s getting more and more popular. This article will help you get full knowledge of genius wefts, whether you use this type of hair extension or not.
We will elaborate on below four points:
1.What are genius wefts?
2.The advantage of genius wefts.
3.How genius wefts are produced?
4.If all genius wefts on current market are same?
5. What are genius wefts?
Genius weft is a new improved version of traditional hand-tied wefts. They are micro-thin, less bulky, and almost invisible compared to any other type of hair wefts extensions on the market.
Genius wefts are also known as elite wefts, coveted wefts, pro hand-tied wefts, micro thin wefts and so on.
▪️ The advantage of genius wefts.
Genius wefts have main four advantages.
First, it has a thinner seam than traditional hand-tied wefts, which allows it lays flatter against the head even stacking many wefts together;
Second, it has zero return or mustache hair, so no irritation at all;
Third, it can be cut at any point where hairstylists want and without unraveling;
Forth, it is much more affordable than hand-tied wefts since it’s machine work and not require abundant delicate manual work!
▪️ How genius wefts are produced.
Well, this has to be a “secret”.
Believe it or not, you can find videos or pictures on how to produce any other type of hair extensions, but not genius wefts. This is a new and secret technique and factories make money with this limited known technique.
Genius wefts are getting popular, but very limited factories have the machine to produce them and actually, it’s not an open technique. Most factories that claim to sell genius weft just prepare hair bulk and send hair to those factories that can make to finish the final step. The factories that have this technique will produce their own order first and those orders from other factories will have to wait in line. This is the reason that some factories have a longer delivery time than others.
Over time, this technology may slowly become known to the public. Who knows!
▪️ If all genius wefts on current market are same?
No.
All pictures of genius wefts that you can search on internet are basically same and all suppliers claim theirs are soft and flexible, but you will feel the huge difference when touch the seam. The key to genius wefts is the material used on seam, test and compare which one is soft, thin, and strong enough.
1.0 version: (Not recommend) We Lostin hair factory is the first group of factories that introduced genius wefts. And this is the very first look when it was brought to the worldwide market at the beginning. It has its advantages as genius wefts, but later, we think the glue on the top seam needs to be improved as it feels hard when the glue dried out and make the seam not very soft and flexible. Clients may feel not very comfortable with these glues and hard seam on heads. What’s more, with more grams of hair added to the weft, the seam will be bulkier. So with this consideration, we introduced 2.0 version soon.
2.0 version: There is no glue on the entire weft at all. We use resin instead. The seam is so soft and flexible and makes the seam thinner. This is a totally different technique introduced by our technician. We can say it is perfect without any pain point.
3.0 version: This technique is basically the same as 2.0 and it was introduced at the same time as 2.0. The difference is we use less resin but stronger thread, to make sure hair won’t shed but is as thin as possible at the same time. Some clients prefer this type, and some still stay in love with 2.0.
Actually some amazing big extensions brands outside keep using 1.0 version. The latest technique is not hold on every factory that claim they have genius wefts.
