How to Install Butterfly Weft Hair Extensions (Step-by-Step Guide)
Butterfly weft hair extensions are becoming increasingly popular among professional stylists. Their lightweight structure and innovative “wing” design allow natural hair to pass through the weft, creating a secure and seamless hold.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to install Butterfly Weft Hair Extensions step by step for a natural, professional result.
Gather Your Tools
Before starting the installation, prepare the following tools:
- Tail comb
- Hair clips
- Pliers
- Hook tool
- Micro beads
Having the right tools ready will make the installation process quicker and more efficient
Prepare the Hair
Hair Preparation
Start with clean, completely dry hair. Clean hair allows the micro beads to grip securely and ensures the weft lies flat against the scalp.
Plan Your Placement
Think about where you want to add volume and fullness. Extensions should always remain hidden beneath the natural hair for the most natural look.
Step-by-Step Installation of Butterfly Weft Hair Extensions
1. Create a U-Shaped Section
Use a fine-tail comb to create a clean U-shaped section. Clip the top layer of hair out of the way.
2. Position the Weft
Open the wings of the Butterfly Weft Hair Extensions and position the weft along the U-shaped section. Make sure it sits flat against the scalp
.
3. Thread Your Natural Hair
Using a hook tool, pull small sections of natural hair through the holes in the weft.
This anchors the extension securely and allows it to blend naturally with the client’s hair.
4. Secure with Micro Beads
Take 2–3 strands of threaded hair and slide them into a micro bead. Use pliers to clamp the bead securely.
This step locks the extension in place and prevents slipping.
5. Close the Weft
After securing the bead, gently close the wings of the Butterfly Weft to complete the installation.
6. Repeat the Process
Repeat these steps and add additional wefts as needed until the desired volume and fullness are achieved.
7. Blend and Style
Once all the Butterfly Weft Hair Extensions are installed, trim and style the hair so it blends perfectly with the natural hair.
You can curl, straighten, or blow dry the hair depending on the final look you want to create.
