Our 100% premium cotton thread is available in 2 sizes, Small (100m) and Medium (200m). Use the cotton thread when using the Sew-On-Weave method of hair extension application.
Another use for the thread is to create your own clip in extensions by sewing gate clips to our wefts.
There are 3 colours of thread to choose from; Black, Brown & Blonde.
An alternative to the cotton thread is the Nylon thread which comes in a larger size of 500m.
Sew-On-Weave Application and Tools
Hair wefts were first invented for the Sew-On-Weave technique. Ideal for coarse and Afro hair types, the natural hair is corn-rowed, with fibre if required, to create a base onto which wefts are sewn.
The corn-row design will depend on your desired final look. You can braid a few small sections, where you want to apply wefts, or you can corn-row the whole head so that all the natural hair is tucked away. The latter allows clients to go from long to short if they prefer. Plus, with clever products such as closures, it’s a fantastic alternative to wigs for people suffering mild hair loss.
Extensions applied by Sew-On-Weaving, last up to 12 weeks. During this period regular 4 weekly salon visits are recommended to tidy and tighten as corn-rows will loosen over time as the natural hair continues to grow and shed as normal underneath.
