single vs doubleweftWhether you hair is single weft or double weft,may not make a major difference when it comes to shedding.I recommend double wefted hair because it is thicker and I've notices that it may shed less due to the double sewing.The most important factor is the quality of the sewing.The process of double wefting may take longer and the hair may be more expensive,but the reduced shedding will make the process of sealing your wefts even more effective.
Co-washing means to wash and rinse your hair with a high quality conditioner only.This process cleans your hair and conditions it without damaging the hair.Co-washing is a quick and simple solution that will not keep your hair healthy fro root to end.Co-washing helps to retain the moisture in your hair eliminate dullness.You will want to seal only clean and healthy hair that is not brittle or dry at the weft.Wait for the hair to dry prior to sealing the wefts.If you plan to color or dye your hair,you will want to dye your hair prior to sealing and after co-washing but before sealing.
Step By Step How To Seal Wefts
1.Co-washing Hair
Co-wash extensions to ensure that the wefts are cleaned.
Co-washing is the act of conditioning hair,to keep it soft,clean and moisturized.
Extensions are more likely to shed when they are brittle,think of it as your natural hair,breakage occurs when hair is not maintained.
2.Sealing Wefts
After Co-washing and drying your hair,it is time to seal the wefts.Choose a weft sealant that bonds quickly,is flexible and does not leave any clumpy residue.
Make sure to apply the sealant to both sides of the weft.This guarantees a tightly sealed weft that will minimize shedding dramatically.
Sealing wefts enable hair to last longer and provide the wearer with a more satisfactory install requiring less maintenance.
3.Choosing Double Weft Hair
Hair can be double-wefted or single wefted.Whether your hair is single weft or double weft,may not make a major difference when it comes to shedding.
Double-weft hair means that two tracks of hair sewn together.The double-wefting process reduces shedding because it is thicker and sewn more securely.
Double-weft hair can also create a fuller looking install.

4.Choosing The Sealant
Choose the perfect sealant for you! do research,ask around and see what works best.
There are many sealants to choose from some websites recommend using anything from weft sealer,clear nail polish,bonding glue to fabric sealant.
A very reasonable alternative to hair weft sealants is fabric glues.
5.Install Your Hair
Begin to install the hair while remembering to go around the weft instead of through it.You can either install hair with the flip over method or you can cut the wefts if you decide to cut the wefts go back with the sealant and apply where you cut the weft and let it dry completely then install.
If pressed for time we usually opt out of sealing wefts.When failing to complete this step we typically receive minimal shedding,which does not bother me.
However when we do seal.We essentially get no shedding at all,which is even better! Keep in mind that these results are not typical and different companies and manufacturers have different wefts on their virgin human hair extensions.Some are not as strong as others.
Dependent upon your preferred weft sealant you may find that the product may make your wefts very stiff,hard,and difficult to pierce with a needle.Some also take longer to cure.
It is very important to make sure that you allow your sealant to fully cure (dry) before installing.If not your wefts may turn white.However,these minor drawbacks pale in comparison to the benefit of having full thick bundles throughout the life of your human hair extensions.
The pros definitely outweigh the cons when it comes to sealing the wefts on your virgin human hair.
Keep in mind,if you have 3 or 4 bundles of hair,unrolling your hair and then sealing your wefts can take quite some time.
