Everything You Need to Know About the Best Genius Weft Hair Extensions

Genius Weft Hair Extensions are hair wefts that are so thin, just like hand-tied wefts, and can be cut without fraying. These smartly designed wefts are feather-light and designed to disappear into your client’s hair.

Unlike traditional hand-tied wefts, you can cut a Genius Weft anywhere along the seam (or spine)—no fraying, no shedding, no drama; except for endless styling options, guaranteed.

Yup, machine wefts can also be cut. However, when you stack a Genius Weft up against a machine weft, Genius Weft is in a league of its own—ultra-thin, silky, and seriously seamless. All your client gets is that swishy, natural look they desire (and you get all the bragging rights).

Why Use Genius Weft Hair Extensions?

Why must we use Genius Weft Hair Extensions? Here are the benefits that set Genius Wefts apart from many other extension methods:

1. Versatility: They can be cut into smaller pieces and applied where they are needed, which creates endless styling options.
2. For Layered Looks: The cuttable seam means stylists can layer wefts where it’s needed most—no gaps, no lines; a perfect layered look.
3. Seamless Blend: Genius wefts are incredibly thin (around 0.75 mm thick) and blend with your client’s hair perfectly for the most natural, invisible look.
4. Comfort: Genius Wefts are featherlight, ensuring comfortable wear all day long, even for your clients with thin or fine hair.
5. Longevity: Genius Weft Extensions last for months and even up to a year with proper care (Newtimes Hair Genius Wefts, with 7-star full-cuticle Remy hair, however, last for 18 months).
6. Low Maintenance: Remember? Genius Wefts are perfectly thin compared to bulkier wefts, making them hard to tangle and home care a breeze.
7. Multiple Methods: Works for sew-in, beaded row, or hybrid installations—stylists can choose what’s best for each client.
8. No Return Beards: Unlike machine wefts that often have itchy “return hairs,” Genius Wefts have no return hairs, which also ensures a perfectly smooth hair texture.
9. Easy to Care: Less likely to tangle or mat compared to bulkier wefts. Makes at-home care a breeze.

How Do You Choose the Best Genius Weft Hair Extensions?

When selecting the perfect Genius Weft Hair Extensions for your clients or yourself, you need to consider several factors:

1. Color: Same as choosing any hair extensions, it’s all about color. Select a shade that matches as close to your natural hair color as possible, or go for highlights to add dimension.
2. Length: Choose a length that matches your natural hair length and style. Newtimes Hair offers the most lengths to suit your or your client’s preferences.
3. Texture: Genius wefts come in various hair textures to match all hair types, such as thick, fine, curly, etc., for a seamless blend.
4. Quantity: Determine the volume or length of hair you need for an ideal coverage — how many wefts do you need?
5. Consultation: It’s always a good idea to consult a professional stylist for personalized advice on what to select and how to install Genius Weft extensions, for peace of mind.

How to Install Genius Weft Hair Extensions

Genius Weft Extensions are semi-permanent. They are a professional hair extension method that requires a certified hair extension stylist to install the hair.

1. Consultation: Have a brief conversation with your stylist to confirm the color, style, length, etc., you want before the installation.
2. Hair Preparation: Cleanse, shampoo, or condition the hair, and get it ready for installation.
3. Sectioning the Hair: Divide the hair into different sections, and secure them in place with clips.
4. Installation: Attach the Genius Wefts to your client’s hair. The most commonly used method is to construct a foundation on your client’s hair using silicone beads, and then sew the Genius Weft to the beaded foundation.
5. Blending and Styling: Blend the extension hair and the client’s natural hair by combing or rubbing, and style the hair into her desired style.

Hot Tip: The smartest method of installing Genius Weft Hair Extensions is to sandwich the silicone bead foundation with two Genius Wefts. This will hide the beads for the most seamless look; even if you lift the weft, you won’t see any beads(similar to the IBE method). The hair just looks like growing from your scalp.

Watch and finish watching the video tutorial below, and master the skill of installing Genius Wefts without showing the beads in less than 10 minutes.

How Do You Take Care of Your Genius Weft Hair Extensions?

With proper care, a set of Newtimes Hair Genius Wefts can easily last a year and a half. But, once every 4-6 weeks, the weft must be maintained. That is to have the weft taken off and reattached during a salon visit.

Between maintenance sessions, follow these guidelines to keep your Genius Wefts glam:

1. Wash: Wash the hair, but not too often, ideally twice a week max.
2. Gentle Products: Use sulfate and paraben-free shampoos and conditioners so the hair will not get dehydrated.
3. Air Dry the Hair: Try air drying the hair whenever possible; if the hair dryer is a must, set it on low heat.
4. Brushing Regularly: Brush or comb the hair with a wide-toothed comb or soft-bristled brush to keep the hair from tangling.
5. Never Sleep with Wet Hair: Never sleep with wet hair, or you’ll find yourself detangling it for a long time the next morning.
6. Maintenance: Schedule a maintenance session with your stylist, ideally once every 4-6 weeks.

How Do Genius Weft Extensions Keep Your Clients on Trend?

Genius Weft Hair Extensions will keep your clients on top of the latest hair extension trends, from how extensions are expected to function to the look they provide:

1. Hidden Beads: This method will hide the beads perfectly, keeping the hair open to all sorts of styling options.
2. Volume and Length: Genius Wefts creates a solid hold, allowing for voluminous, full-bodied styles, just like the ’90s blowout.
3. Natural and Authentic Texture: Thin and naturally smooth, Genius Weft matches your client’s natural hair perfectly.
4. Sun-Kissed Highlights: Subtle, sun-kissed highlights will add dimension to your hair, achieving a fresh, effortless look.
