Hand-tied wefts are โtied by handโ so they have small knots along the top seam and the first inch or so has return hair or a โmustacheโ. If you cut hand-tied wefts they unravel.ย
โฃWhile genius wefts have a silicone-ish type band which eliminates the return hair and allows for you to cut the weft anyway you please.โฃ

So who do I use each weft for?โฃ
โฃ
You really just have to weigh your options and decide which is right for you and your lifestyle. While there is no difference in weight between lines, sometimes Genius wefts may be a better fit for very fine hair simply because they are slimmer.โฃ

What is your choice?
