All the Secrets of the Secret Wefts

Written by Marlieke Elfrink

Are you so fond of your Zascha clip-ins that you don't want to take them out? Or are you just curious about the difference between clip-in extensions and weaves? Then you've come to the right place! Read on:

What is a Weave/Secret weft?

A Secret Weft is suitable for permanent wear in your hair. The 50cm weave/weft is one long strip approximately 65cm wide. The 50cm weft weighs 40 grams. The 40cm Secret Weft weighs 35 grams, and this strip is 55 cm wide. Thanks to their extremely flat base, they offer the advantages of hand-tied wefts (super thin) but without the disadvantages: you can cut them to size! The wefts do not have a fold-over (a folded edge of hair) like regular (machine)wefts. This makes them invisible and very comfortable to wear. Our Secret Wefts are also made from the highest quality hair with the fullest ends available on the market. This means you need less hair for more volume.

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

Weaves are more expensive because their processing involves more specific steps. The following points are important:

1. Hair type.

For our weaves, we use Cuticle Indian Hair. This hair is similar in structure to European hair and is donated in temples in India. Before it is donated, and before we color it to the desired shade, it has never been dyed or chemically treated. We therefore select the very best quality donor hair for our weaves.

2. Processing

The processing and dyeing of the hair are done in a special, gentle way. When the hair has gone through our gentle coloring process, we call it cuticle hair. This hair is of even better quality than 'remy hair', because the hair cuticles remain intact during this process. The lifespan is therefore longer than remy hair; it lasts at least 8-12 months and in some cases even well over a year.

3. Keep it natural

No silicones are processed into the hair. This is not the case with our clip-ins. To keep the hair of the clip-ins beautiful for longer, there is a silicone coating that will slowly wear off due to washing and wearing.

4. 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 would like to know more about the origin of Zascha Hair, you can do so by clicking the button below.

How many wefts do I need?

This is highly dependent on the thickness and style of your own hair. In many cases, you'll need about 100 to 200 grams for an extension. Do you only want extra volume? Then one pack of your own hair length is enough! Are you unsure? You can always send us a message so we can help you by looking at a photo.

Colors to dye for

We have a lot of color weaves, and we are always working behind the scenes to keep the colors as up-to-date as possible. Should you still prefer to dye your weave darker, you can! We advise against dyeing it lighter. For the best result and the least damage to the weave, it is best to use a rinse, or a mild dye. If in doubt, you can always go to the hairdresser (or hair salon) for advice. You cannot decolorize the extensions once something goes wrong, so better safe than sorry!

How long do the weaves last?

With good care (see this blog) and good placement: at least 8 to 12 months.
We always recommend having the weaves installed by a hairdresser experienced in this. This way, you can be sure that your extensions will look their best and you'll get the most out of them. Should something not be entirely to your liking, you can fall back on the warranty period (2 months). We already have several salons that use our Secret Weaves. Curious which ones? Feel free to send us a message:)!
