Top 5 Types of Hand Tied Hair Extensions (And Which Is Right for You)
If you’ve been searching for the best hand tied extensions, you’ve probably noticed there are more options than ever. From ultra flat wefts to natural curl patterns, it can be hard to know which type is right for your hair goals.
At Clean Beauty Boutique, we custom order every set of hand tied extensions to match your texture, color, and desired look with a focus on scalp health and a natural finish.
Here’s a breakdown of the top 5 types of hand tied extensions we offer and how to know which one is best for you.
1. Genius Wefts
Genius wefts are one of the newest innovations in hand tied extensions. They’re ultra thin, trackless, and can be cut anywhere along the weft without unraveling, which makes blending them effortless.
Best for: Fine to medium hair clients who want maximum flexibility and the most invisible result
Why we love them: No return hair means less irritation at the scalp and zero bulk
2. Classic Hand Tied Wefts
The original method that never goes out of style. Hand tied wefts are sewn into your natural hair using a bead and thread foundation. They’re known for being lightweight while delivering full, voluminous results.
Best for: Medium to thick hair clients looking for long lasting wear
Pro tip: We custom order them in exact lengths and tones to perfectly match your natural hair or balayage hand tied extensions
3. Silky Straight Texture
Some clients love a sleek, polished finish and silky straight extensions deliver just that. They’re soft, smooth, and ideal for blending into naturally straight or heat styled hair.
Best for: Clients who wear their hair smooth and straight every day
Color options: Available in natural and blended balayage shades for dimension without coloring your own hair
4. Wavy Texture
Wavy hand tied extensions are ideal if your natural hair has a soft wave or loose bend. These extensions help maintain texture consistency while still allowing you to style smooth or curled.
Best for: Effortless, undone looks with built in movement
Why it works: The wave holds shape with minimal heat styling, making it easy to wear daily
5. Curly Texture
Finding high quality curly extensions that aren’t chemically permed is rare, but we offer custom made curly hand tied wefts that are naturally textured.
Best for: Clients with natural curls who want to maintain their pattern without sacrificing blend
Bonus: These are custom ordered to match your curl type and density so nothing looks out of place
So, Which Is Right for You?
Choosing the right extension type is about more than just texture. It’s about lifestyle, hair health, and the look you want to maintain day to day. Whether you’re drawn to silky straight strands or naturally curly volume, we’ll guide you through the process from consult to install.
