What’s the difference between Traditional Weft, Genius Weft, and Butterfly Weft extensions?Updated 4 months ago
All three are weft-style extensions, but they differ in how they’re made, how they’re applied, and how they feel once installed.
✨ Traditional Wefts
Machine-tied and slightly thicker at the seam, these are the classic go-to for stylists. They’re durable, easy to work with, and one of the most common types offered by extension brands. The only thing to keep in mind is that the seam can be a little more visible on finer hair if not applied carefully.
✨ Genius Wefts
Think of these as the modern upgrade. Ultra-thin, flat, and flexible, Genius Wefts have no return hair (the short pieces that can cause bulk or irritation), so they sit completely flat against the scalp for an invisible, natural finish. Loved for their comfort and versatility, they’re especially popular for clients who want a seamless, lightweight feel.
✨Superior Butterfly Weft™
Our Superior Butterfly Weft™ Extensions (also called Flutter Weft or Invisible PU Hole Weft) are designed for the fastest and most comfortable application. Installed in around 15 minutes using only silicone-lined microbeads — no sewing, no glue, no tape — they’re perfect for anyone who wants a low-profile, quick-to-install option.
- They feature a flat PU base with “butterfly holes,” allowing the weft to be anchored securely while evenly distributing weight. This makes them extra gentle on fine or fragile hair.
- Once flipped and installed, the beads are completely hidden, leaving an invisible, scalp-hugging finish that grows out naturally.
- They’re lightweight, reusable for up to a year with good care, and available in 20” and 24” lengths across 40+ shades.
💡 In short:
- Traditional Wefts = classic, durable, slightly thicker seam
- Genius Wefts = ultra-thin, flat, seamless, modern feel
- Butterfly Wefts = fastest, most discreet bead-based method with maximum comfort
