Are you so in love with your Zascha clip-ins that you never want to take them out? Or are you just curious about the difference between clip-in extensions and weaves? Then you’re in the right place! Keep reading:

What is a Weave/Secret Weft?

A Secret Weft/weave is designed to be worn permanently in your hair. Our weave/weft is a single long strip approximately 65 cm (26″) wide. The 40 cm (16″) Secret Weft weighs 30 grams, while the 50 cm (20″) weft weighs 40 grams. Thanks to the extremely flat base, they offer the benefits of hand-tied wefts (super thin) without the downsides—you can easily cut them to size! Unlike standard (machine) wefts, our wefts have no fold-over (a flipped edge of hair), making them invisible and incredibly comfortable to wear. Additionally, our Secret Wefts are made from the highest quality hair with the fullest ends available on the market. This means you need less hair to achieve more volume.

What exactly is the difference between the clip-ins and the weaves?

The weaves are more expensive because the processing involves more intricate details. The following factors are important in this process:

1. The type of hair. For our weaves, we use Cuticle Indian Hair. This hair has a similar texture to European hair and is donated in temples in India. Before it is donated and before we color it to the desired shade, the hair has never been dyed or chemically treated. For our weaves, we select only the highest quality donor hair.

2. The processing The treatment and coloring process of the hair is done in a special, gentle way. Once the hair has gone through our mild coloring process, we call it cuticle hair. This hair is of even higher quality than remy hair because the cuticles remain intact during the process. As a result, the lifespan is longer than that of remy hair, lasting at least 8-12 months and, in some cases, even over a year.

3. Keep it natural No silicones are used in the hair. This is different from our clip-ins, which do contain silicones. Clip-ins have a silicone coating to keep the hair looking beautiful for longer, but this coating gradually wears off with washing and wear.

4. The origin And last but not least: the hair for our weaves comes from young donors (men and women up to 25 years old). If you’d like to learn more about the origin of Zascha Hair, you can do so via the button below.


How many wefts do I need?

This depends a lot on the thickness and style of your own hair. In most cases, you’ll need about 100 to 200 grams for a length extension. If you’re only looking to add extra volume, one pack in your own length is usually enough! Not sure what you need? Feel free to send us a message with a photo so we can help you choose the right amount. This blog includes tips and tricks for taking a good consultation photo. You can also see our products in real life by placing an order. If it turns out not to be exactly what you’re looking for and the product meets our return conditions, you can send it back, and we will refund your purchase amount.


Colors to dye for

We have a wide range of weave colors, and we’re constantly working behind the scenes to keep them as up-to-date as possible. However, if you’d prefer to dye your weave darker, that’s absolutely possible! Lightening the hair is not recommended. For the best results and minimal damage to the weave, it’s best to use a semi-permanent dye or a mild hair color. If you’re unsure, you can always visit a hairdresser or beauty supply store for advice. Keep in mind that once dyed, the extensions cannot be bleached if something goes wrong—so better safe than sorry!

How long do weaves last?

With proper care (see this blog) and correct placement, your weaves will last at least 8 to 12 months. We always recommend having your weaves installed by a hairdresser with experience in extensions. This ensures that your extensions stay in the best condition and you get the most out of them. Plus, if anything isn’t quite as expected, you can rely on our 2-month warranty. We already have several salons that use our Secret Weaves. Curious to know which ones? Feel free to send us a message! 😊
