Worried About Cutting Hair Wefts? Not Anymore.

If you’ve worked with hand-tied or machine wefts before, you know that cutting them usually means trouble—shedding, unraveling, or weakened wefts.

But not with Genius Weft Hair Extensions.

Thanks to their unique construction, genius wefts can be cut anywhere—yes, anywhere—without shedding or fraying. This opens up a whole new level of customization and flexibility for stylists.

Let’s break down exactly how to cut genius wefts safely and effectively.

Why Genius Wefts Can Be Cut (Unlike Hand-Tied)

Hand-tied wefts are made by looping and tying individual strands by hand—cutting them breaks that structure and causes unraveling.

Genius wefts, on the other hand, are designed using a sealed, reinforced weft track. That means the hair strands are held in place without needing return hair or knots, and cutting them won’t compromise their integrity.

That’s one of the biggest reasons stylists are switching to genius wefts.

When You Might Need to Cut Genius Wefts

• Installing short rows (e.g., temple or nape areas)

• Creating custom placements for volume-only installs

• Blending multiple shades

• Working with clients who have smaller heads or uneven hair density

• Mixing textures or lengths

Tools You’ll Need

• Sharp salon-grade scissors or a razor

• Sectioning clips

• Weft sealer (optional, but not necessary with Haiyi Hair genius wefts)

• Clean towel or cutting board surface

Step-by-Step: How to Cut Genius Weft Extensions

✅ Step 1: Lay the Weft Flat

Lay the genius weft flat on a clean, hard surface. Smooth the hair downward so it's aligned properly.

✅ Step 2: Measure & Mark (Optional)

If you need a precise fit, use a tape measure to mark your desired length. You can use a chalk pen or simply hold your fingers as a marker.

✅ Step 3: Cut Cleanly Across

Use sharp scissors to make a clean, straight cut across the weft. Avoid "sawing" with dull blades—this can weaken the seal.

No need to add glue or heat seal—the weft will not unravel.

✅ Step 4: Install As Usual

Install the weft exactly as you would with an uncut piece. The ends will remain sealed, secure, and invisible once sewn or beaded in.

Optional: Want Extra Security?

If you're working with extremely layered cuts or reusing the same weft many times, you can add a small amount of weft sealer or clear eyelash glue to the cut edge. Let it dry before installation.

But with Haiyi Hair Genius Wefts, this step is usually not needed.

Pro Tips for Stylists

• Always cut before installation for cleaner edges and better blending.

• Save your off-cuts—these are perfect for side fill or touch-up installs.

• Use double layering when clients want both length and volume.

• Label your cut wefts by color/length to reuse them efficiently.
