Genius Weft Extensions
Genius weft is another name for our hybrid weft, the line our stylists order most.
Genius weft or hybrid weft?
Same weft, two names. At Wefts + Waves a genius weft is our hybrid weft: 31 to 33 inches wide, 100% human hair, in 18 inch, 22 inch and 24 inch.
Can you cut a genius weft?
Yes, anywhere along the base. That is the biggest difference from a hand tied weft, which can never be cut. A row runs anywhere from 6 to 15 inches across the head, so you cut each piece to the row it is going on and stack 2 to 5 pieces.
Genius weft vs hand tied weft
A hand tied weft weighs 16.9 grams. A genius bundle weighs 50 grams in 18 and 22 inch, so one bundle carries the equivalent of three hand tied wefts. Hand tied has no machine seam, so it lies flatter, which matters most on fine hair. In Kenzie's words, which one is better comes down to preference and lifestyle.
Weights and lengths
A bundle is 50 grams in 18 inch and 22 inch, and 60 grams in 24 inch. Longer hair needs more weight through the length or it reads thin at the ends, so the grams go up with the length.
