Butterfly Wefts Are Changing the Game for Seamless Hair Extensions

If you’re a stylist or salon owner, you know how crucial it is to deliver natural-looking, comfortable, and long-lasting installs. Enter the butterfly weft—a new favorite among extension professionals.

At Haiyi Hair, we supply top-quality butterfly wefts to stylists around the world. Here’s how they’re using them to create virtually undetectable installs that clients can’t stop raving about.

What Makes Butterfly Wefts Ideal for Invisible Installs?

Butterfly wefts are designed with next-level discretion in mind:

✅ Ultra-thin weft track
✅ No return hair (no bulk, no irritation)
✅ Fully cuttable without fraying
✅ Lightweight & breathable

These features make butterfly wefts the perfect canvas for clean, flexible installs—especially on clients with fine or thin hair.

How Stylists Are Installing Butterfly Wefts Invisibly

Here are some of the most popular techniques stylists are using to create flawless results:

1. Beaded Row (AKA Invisible Bead Method)

This is one of the top methods for butterfly wefts.

• Stylists use microbeads to anchor sections of natural hair.

• The butterfly weft is then sewn on top, lying super flat and close to the scalp.

• Because there's no return hair or thick seam, the install is completely hidden, even in ponytails or side parts.

Pro Tip: Use silicone-lined beads for added grip and less slippage.

2. Hybrid Hand-Tied & Butterfly Technique

Some stylists are blending butterfly wefts with hand-tied sections for volume at the bottom and invisibility at the top.

• The butterfly weft goes on top for a smooth finish.

• Hand-tied wefts are stacked below for density and body.

This combo gives the client both fullness and a flawless hairline transition.

3. Single-Layer Butterfly Install

Because butterfly wefts are dense yet lightweight, stylists can use fewer rows to achieve full looks—sometimes just one or two rows total.

• This reduces tension on the scalp

• Great for clients with finer hair or a sensitive scalp

• Ultra-natural result with minimal bulk

4. Ponytail-Ready Placement

Stylists are strategically placing the wefts just below the occipital bone to allow:

• High ponytails

• Top buns

• Braided crowns

All without any weft lines showing—even under direct light.
