Hand-tied extensions are genuinely picking up in popularity— we had salons and stylists asking us for hand-tied extensions to offer their clients because they get tons of clients requests about getting hand-tied extensions, which blend naturally with the real hair and add perfect volume and length without compromising on the comfortableness of wearing.  

A hand-tied extension is a method where a stylist attaches beads onto a row of a client's natural hair, and then hand-tie the wefts in with cotton thread. It is ideal for clients looking to add more volume and length that looks voluminous and lustrous without putting too much tension on the scalp or hair.

Hand-tied extensions installation takes 2 hours (an hour per row) or a bit longer. Once installed, they can last for about 6-9 weeks before needing to be moved up. The time between appointments depends on how fast your hair grows and if you're taking the time to care for the hair properly.
The cost varies depending on how long you get them, how many bundles and how much volume you want to achieve, but for a reference, they can cost between $600-$2000! I have seen from so many friends that the one thing with extensions is you are truly getting what you are paying for! If you get super cheap, they are probably going to not only look cheap but probably cause more damage that will take years to fix! Don’t take a short cut on your hair!

How to maintain hand-tied extension?

Maintenance extends the life of the extensions and prevents damage to the extensions and your natural hair. Depending on how well you take care of them the hair will last anywhere from 9-18 months!
Your hair growth pushes the extensions down, which can lead to damage to the extensions and your natural hair. To have your hand-tied extension holding up nicely event weeks after the installation, apart from getting routine move-ups in a salon, there are a few tips for daily care you can take. 
Clean your hair once or twice a week depending on how oily your hair gets. After your hair is clean, use your wet brush to get the tangles out holding onto the top of your wefts, starting at the bottom and working your way up. It is important to brush all the way to the top of the weft but you do not want to brush over them. This will cause the hair to start looping at the top and no longer be usable!
Once your hair is brushed through, apply a little volume of hair oil all over your hair to add shine, and blow dry. The oil is very important to put in before you blow dry because it works as a heat protectant.
