What You Need to Know About Using Butterfly Weft Hair Extensions
June 18 2025
Butterfly Weft extensions is one of the most advanced weft extensions on the market today. Known for its ultra-thin, flexible structure and minimal weight, it's quickly becoming a favorite among hairstylists and salon professionals.
Whether you're new to butterfly wefts or considering offering them to your clients, here’s everything you need to know:
Butterfly Weft Extensions are a revolutionary type of weft hair extension designed for a lightweight, seamless, and irritation-free experience.
So, who is it for?
Among today’s mainstream hair extension methods, Fusion Keratin Bonding, Sew-In Wefts, and Tape-In Extensions remain popular choices among hairstylists, salon owners, and clients. However, each of these methods has its limitations.
Fusion techniques—whether Hot Fusion or Cold Fusion—require a long installation process and intensive post-maintenance. Sew-In Wefts, while effective, are time-consuming and rely heavily on advanced professional techniques to ensure a stable, lasting result. These methods not only extend the time clients spend in the salon but also demand more labor from stylists.
Tape-ins, on the other hand, are relatively faster to install, but they often leave behind glue residue, which can lead to scalp sensitivity, stickiness, and difficult aftercare.
Butterfly Weft Extensions were developed to solve all of these issues. Utilizing a beaded installation technique, this innovative product allows for quick application and easy removal. On average, only two pieces (each weighing 50g in the Better Hair standard) are needed to achieve a full, voluminous look. Installation can be completed in just 30 minutes, significantly reducing salon time. Even more impressive is the removal process, which takes only one-third of the time required by traditional methods.
With all these advantages, Butterfly Weft Extensions have quickly become the new favorite in the hair extension market—an efficient, elegant solution for modern stylists and clients alike.
In order to better support our valued salon partners in their continuous pursuit of comfort, invisibility, and high-performance hair extension solutions, we have continued to innovate based on market demand and are proud to launch two of our latest hot-selling Butterfly Weft Extensions—XO Genius Butterfly Wefts and Injection Butterfly Wefts, both designed to meet the highest standards in the industry and deliver an ultra-natural, lightweight, and irritation-free wearing experience.
Better Hair insists on using only the finest material available on the market—100% Cuticle Remy Hair, with all hair cuticles aligned in the same direction to ensure long-lasting softness and shine, high color retention, reduced tangling, and maximum ease for secondary dyeing, styling, or heat treatment, with an average service life of over 10 months even with regular use.
These two Butterfly Wefts share the same weight configuration and are applied using the same method, offering flexible installation for stylists while maintaining a secure and natural result.
However, their key distinction lies in their craftsmanship—our XO Genius Butterfly Weft adopts the same advanced wefting technique as the top-selling Genius Weft (sewing-in extensions), featuring an ultra-thin and flat base that is soft, skin-friendly, and perfectly blends into natural hair without the need for cutting, making it an ideal choice for stylists seeking a comfortable and low-profile installation.
On the other hand, the Injection Butterfly Weft leverages the same invisible PU injection technology as our Injection Tape-Ins, where individual strands are injected directly into a transparent base to mimic hair growing from the scalp, delivering a superior invisible effect especially favored by clients with thin or fine hair who desire maximum undetectability and scalp realism. Based on feedback from our current professional clients and long-term salon partners, both Butterfly Wefts are highly recommended for their outstanding performance, natural appearance, and excellent reusability.

Is Butterfly Weft good for thin hair?

How to Use Butterfly Weft Extensions Properly and Avoid Damage?
1. Professional Installation is Essential
Always have Butterfly Weft Extensions installed by a licensed and experienced hairstylist. Proper placement ensures even distribution, avoids excessive tension, and reduces the risk of discomfort or damage, especially for clients with fine or sensitive scalps.
2. Avoid Oil-Based or Alcohol-Based Products
Do not apply oily or alcohol-based products near the extension roots. These substances can break down adhesive or weaken stitching, leading to premature slippage or weft loosening.
3. Gentle Daily Care
Use a loop brush or extension-safe brush to gently detangle hair, starting from the ends and working upward. This minimizes pressure on the weft base and prevents pulling, shedding, or knotting.
4. Washing Recommendations
Cleanse hair with sulfate-free, lightweight shampoo and conditioner. When washing, avoid rubbing or scrubbing the root area aggressively where extensions are attached. Always rinse thoroughly to prevent residue build-up.
5. Heat Styling Caution
Avoid placing curling irons, flat irons, or other high-temperature tools directly on the extension base. Excessive heat can compromise the integrity of the bond or stitching. After washing, make sure to dry the roots completely to prevent moisture-related issues such as slippage, mildew odor, or bacterial growth.
6. Regular Maintenance Schedule
Visit your stylist every 6 to 8 weeks for maintenance or reinstallation. As natural hair grows, repositioning the wefts ensures they remain secure, invisible, and comfortable while maintaining a flawless blend with your natural hair.
7. Handle with Care – PU Base Sensitivity
After extensive testing and real client use, we’ve identified that special attention is needed due to the PU base design of the Butterfly Weft. In order to achieve maximum softness, flexibility, and scalp fit, our Butterfly Weft uses an ultra-soft PU base. While this offers excellent comfort and invisibility, it also requires careful handling. Avoid rough movements or excessive pulling during installation, daily wear, or washing to prevent tearing or damage to the delicate base material.
