If you’ve ever dreamed of fuller, thicker, longer, or simply better hair, you’re exactly where you need to be. Extensions aren’t just a trend — they’re a confidence booster, a time-saver, and one of the most transformative services we offer at Hairitage House.

But here’s the best part:

We don’t use hand-tied wefts.

We typically use Flex-Wefts installed with the Beaded Row Method — a modern, customizable extension technique that gives you the beautiful, seamless look of hand-tied extensions with more freedom, flexibility, and comfort.

If you’ve been curious about extensions (or even overwhelmed by all the options out there), here’s your complete guide — written with the HH warmth, education, and honesty we’re known for.

What Are Beaded Row Extensions?

Beaded row extensions are installed by placing small beads in a row along your natural hair, then sewing a weft onto that foundation. It’s customizable, gentle, and ideal for clients who want a natural look with minimal tension.

At Hairitage House, we use Flex-Wefts, which are:

• Ultra-thin

• Lightweight

• Flexible

• Cuttable anywhere on the seam (unlike hand-tied wefts)

• Perfect for customizing the size and placement of your rows

This allows us to tailor every detail — blending, density, fullness, even placement around your face — in a way hand-tied extensions simply can’t.

Why Flex-Wefts Are a Game Changer

Flex-wefts solve several limitations of traditional hand-tied wefts:

✨ They can be cut anywhere

No unraveling. No fraying.

This gives us unlimited customization — especially for face-framing or blending around shorter pieces.

✨ They’re soft, thin, and flexible

They lay beautifully flat and feel extremely comfortable.

✨ They work for more hair types

Fine, medium, straight, wavy — flex-wefts mold to your natural hair without bulk.

✨ They allow for density control

More fullness? Fewer wefts? Strategic placement?

Flex-wefts make it possible.

This is why HH installs look effortlessly natural — the extensions never overpower your hair, they become your hair.

Who Are Beaded Row Extensions Best For?

Beaded row extensions are ideal for guests who want:

• Fuller, thicker ponytails

• More volume on the sides

• Length that looks real

• A more balanced haircut

• A fuller front hairline

• A confidence boost that doesn’t look “extension-y”

They’re also excellent for:

• Postpartum hair changes

• Fine or medium density hair

• People who struggle to grow past a certain length

• Clients who want a subtle, everyday enhancement

• Anyone craving a “wow but natural” transformation

And no — you do NOT have to want mermaid hair.

Many first-time guests start with one or two rows of 16"-18" wefts for fullness alone (maybe with a few added inches).

How Many Rows Will You Need?

Your stylist will determine this during your consultation, but here’s the general guide:

• 1 Row: Soft fullness (no major length)

• 2 Rows: Fullness + a noticeable length boost

• 3 Rows: A complete transformation with maximum impact

Because we use flex-wefts, each row is incredibly customizable — meaning we can use larger or smaller pieces depending on your density and goals, and even add dimension to your look without having to use chemicals on your natural hair.

Why the HH Beaded Row Method Sets Us Apart

This is not a cookie-cutter, assembly-line installation.

Our extension experience is curated, thoughtful, and personalized.

✨ A Full Hair + Lifestyle Consultation

We walk through:

• Your hair goals

• Your current routine

• Your color history

• Your job, workouts, mom-life, etc.

• Your maintenance expectations

Every extension guest is unique — and your plan should be, too.

✨ Seamless Color Matching

Blending is an art form.

We customize your natural hair and the wefts (tone, gloss, root smudge if needed) so they look indistinguishable from each other.

✨ A Comfortable, Secure Install

Our beaded row method focuses on:

• Even weight distribution

• Minimal tension

• Scalp comfort

• Healthy grow-out

• A flat, discreet installation

You should forget you even have extensions in — and our guests often do.

✨ Custom Blending + Face-Framing

Because flex-wefts can be cut anywhere, blending is perfection.

Your haircut is tailored around your new length and fullness so everything falls naturally.

Maintenance: What to Expect

Beaded row extensions need to be moved up every 6–10 weeks, depending on:

• Your natural hair growth

• Your density

• How gentle you are with brushing + washing

• Your daily routine

• Your preferences

How Long Do Flex-Wefts Last?

With proper care, your wefts typically last 6–12 months (sometimes even a touch longer...).

What influences longevity?

• Using salon-quality products

• Oiling daily

• Using heat-protectant when heat-styling is unavoidable

• Brushing multiple times-a-day

• Sleeping with your hair secured

• Avoiding excessive heat at the root

For most guests, the investment lasts significantly longer than they expect.

At-Home Care: Protecting Your Investment

Extensions thrive when you treat them like the luxury service they are.

Your stylist will recommend products from the lines we trust most:

• Redken (strength, bond-building, color protection)

• Pureology (moisture + lightweight softness)

• Mizani (hydration + curl nourishment)

• Teleties & Kitsch (gentle accessories that prevent breakage)

Using the wrong products can weigh down your extensions, dry them out, or shorten their lifespan — so we educate you thoroughly during your appointment.

Will Extensions Damage My Hair?

Not when installed and maintained correctly — and definitely not with the beaded row technique we use.

Beaded rows are:

• Gentle

• Tension-balanced

• Low-damage

• Safe for long-term wear

✨Many of our guests find that their natural hair actually grows and improves because they heat style less and their ends stay protected.

Why People Are Obsessed With Beaded Row Extensions

Because the transformation is instant — but looks natural.

Clients tell us:

💬 “I feel like myself again.”

💬 “I didn’t know my hair could look this good.”

💬 “I finally have hair that holds a curl.”

💬 “This gave me my confidence back.”

Extensions aren’t about looking fake.

They’re about looking and feeling like the best version of YOU.
