Wefted Hair Extensions 101 — What You Need to Know Before You Buy

Looking to achieve fuller, longer hair but unsure where to begin? At SERIE, we believe great hair should feel effortless — and with the right wefted extensions, it does. This guide covers the essentials to help you make a confident choice.

What Are Hair Extensions?

Hair extensions are strands of real or synthetic hair added to your own to enhance length, volume, or fullness. They're often used to elevate a look, add structure to protective styles, or make a bold style change without compromising your natural hair.

There are several types of hair extensions, each designed to meet different needs:

  • Clip-ins – Temporary and easy to apply at home

  • Tape-ins – Thin adhesive wefts, typically installed by a stylist

  • Keratin bonds (fusion) – Heat-bonded for long-term wear

  • Halo extensions – A single weft attached with an invisible wire

  • Microlinks – Individual strands attached with small beads

  • Wefted bundles (sew-ins) – Long tracks of hair used for sew-ins or custom wigs

At SERIE, we specialize in raw wefted hair extensions — premium-quality hair sourced with care and left completely unprocessed to maintain its natural strength, texture, and longevity.

Why Choose Wefted Hair Extensions?

Wefted extensions are tracks of hair sewn together at the top, offering a solid base for a range of installation methods. They’re known for their longevity, full volume, and flexibility when it comes to styling. Whether you’re wearing a silk press, wand curls, or a sleek ponytail, wefts provide a consistent foundation for your desired look.

Caring for Your SERIE Wefts

To extend the life of your wefts:

  • Use sulfate-free, hydrating shampoos

  • Gently detangle from ends to roots using a wide-tooth or loop brush

  • Let hair air-dry when possible

  • Store in a silk bag or original box when not in use

With the right care, your wefts can be reused for multiple installs while maintaining their softness and structure.
