Micro Weft Hair Extensions

Micro weft extensions secure small weft strips using silicon-lined links. Small sections of your natural hair are gently pulled through the rings, which are clamped down to hold each strip in place — no thread, glue, or heat involved. Since each ring holds a wider section of hair than strand-by-strand methods, micro weft is a great option when the goal is natural, noticeable fullness, not just length.

No thread. No glue. No heat. Just fullness that feels like your own hair.

Why Clients Choose Micro Weft

Built for real fullness — without a single strand of glue, thread, or heat.

No Thread, Glue, or Heat

Real Fullness

Wider wefts cover more hair per attachment point than strand-by-strand methods, for noticeable volume.

Predictable Maintenance

A clear schedule — adjusted every four to six weeks, fully redone about every three months.

Caring for Micro Weft Extensions

A few essentials to keep the rings secure between appointments.

Brush Gently, Ends First

Use a paddle brush and always start from the ends, working up toward the rings to avoid loosening them.

Never Sleep on Wet Hair

Dry hair fully and tie it loosely before bed — wet hair tangles faster and stresses the rings overnight.

Keep Up With Adjustments

Stick to the 4–6 week adjustment schedule so the rings stay comfortable as your natural hair grows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything clients ask before their first micro weft appointment.

What are micro weft hair extensions?

Micro weft hair extensions use small weft strips secured with silicon-lined links. Small sections of your natural hair are gently pulled through the rings, which are then clamped down to hold the weft strip securely in place - no thread, glue, or heat involved.

How is micro weft different from microlink extensions?

Microlinks attach hair strand by strand through individual beads or locks, while micro weft secures a wider strip of hair through silicon-lined rings at once. Both methods are glue-free and heat-free, but micro weft can build fuller volume more quickly since each ring holds more hair.

How often do micro weft extensions need maintenance?

Micro weft extensions are typically adjusted every four to six weeks as your natural hair grows, and fully redone about every three months.

Do micro weft extensions use glue or heat?

No. Micro weft extensions use silicon-lined rings that clamp the weft in place - there is no thread, glue, or heat involved in the application.

Is micro weft good for adding fullness and volume?

Yes. Because each weft strip covers a wider section of hair than strand-by-strand methods, micro weft is a strong option for clients who want noticeable, natural-looking fullness rather than just added length.

How much do micro weft hair extensions cost in NYC?

Pricing for micro weft hair extensions depends on the amount of hair used, your target volume, and hair length. Book a consultation for an exact quote based on your hair.
