What is the difference between machine made, flat wefts and hand tied wefts?"The biggest difference with all three weft types is the thickness of the weft. Machine wefts are noticeably thicker than flat wefts and hand tied wefts which means they don’t sit as flat to the scalp. The benefit of hand tied extensions is they are made by hand which makes them micro thin, less bulky, less shedding and less visible.

Will hair extensions damage my hair?Here at Gypsy and the mane we are all qualified hairdressers with many years experience. This is the reason we have chosen to only do beaded weft extensions and invisible bead extensions as they are the most advanced and safest extension methods. There is no glues, bonds or tapes which means there is no chemicals used in your hair. Wearing extensions if they are installed correctly and taken care of correctly is no different to wearing your hair in a pony tail or bobby pins in your hair each day. In fact hair extensions helps to grow your own natural hair as the extensions cover a lot of your natural hair and keep it looking fabulous so therefore you tend to not style and play with your own hair as much as you would if you didn’t have extensions in and not using all of that heat makes a huge difference.

How long does the installation process take?Timing depends on two things the method of wefts you choose and the amount of wefts you are having installed. This can range from 15 minutes to 1.5hours. Always the first initial installation takes a little bit longer as we need to find your perfect positioning and cut in your hair to ensure the perfect seemless blend.
