Detailed Care Guide For Human Hair Butterfly Weft Extensions

What Are Butterfly Hair Extensions?

The Butterfly hair extensions from Better Hair are revolutionizing the hair market, offering a seamless, natural, and lightweight solution for those looking to enhance their hair length and volume. Unlike traditional wefts, Butterfly Weft extensions are designed to be ultra-thin, flexible, and virtually undetectable, making them a preferred choice among hairstylists and extension lovers.

The Butterfly Weft gets its name from its unique structure—the PU base in the middle holds the hair securely, while the hair on both sides spreads out like butterfly wings when fully extended. This innovative design ensures a seamless, lightweight, and natural look.

Alternative Name: Sometimes referred to as XO-Weft, this extension type is loved for its perfect balance of flexibility, comfort, and volume.

Why Should You Choose Them?

1. Easy installation

Microbead Application (No Braids Required!)
1️⃣ Thread the Beads: Slide small silicone-lined microbeads onto a pulling tool.
2️⃣ Attach the Weft: Take a small section of your natural hair, place the weft on top, and thread both into the bead.
3️⃣ Secure the Bead: Use pliers to flatten the bead, securing the weft in place.
4️⃣ Repeat Across the Head: Continue along the parting, spacing the beads about an inch apart.

Microbead hair extensions offer a gentle, durable, and natural-looking solution for adding length and volume without heat, glue, or damage to your natural hair.

How to Care for Butterfly Weft Hair Extensions？

1. Care After First Wearing

When you first install Butterfly Weft hair extensions, they need proper adjustment and care to blend naturally with your own hair. Here are the key steps:

Gentle Brushing: Use a wide-tooth comb or a loop brush to detangle the extensions. Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots.

Apply a Leave-in Conditioner: A lightweight, sulfate-free leave-in conditioner helps keep the hair soft and hydrated.

Limit Heat Styling: Let the extensions settle in their natural state for a few days before applying heat tools. This allows the hair to adjust to its new environment.

2. Care During Sleep

One of the main causes of tangling and matting in hair extensions is friction while sleeping. To prevent damage, follow these steps:

Braid or Tie Loosely: Before going to bed, loosely braid your hair or secure it in a low ponytail to prevent tangling.

Use a Silk or Satin Pillowcase: Unlike cotton, silk and satin pillowcases reduce friction, keeping your extensions smooth and frizz-free.

Wear a Silk Bonnet or Scarf: Wrapping your hair in a silk bonnet or scarf adds an extra layer of protection, minimizing breakage and frizz.

3. Care After Styling

Heat styling can enhance the look of your Butterfly Weft, but improper techniques can cause dryness and damage. Follow these best practices:

Use a Heat Protectant: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using curling irons, straighteners, or blow dryers.

Avoid High Temperatures: Keep styling tools below 180°C (350°F) to prevent excessive dryness and breakage.

Apply Hair Oil or Serum: Use a lightweight serum or argan oil on the mid-lengths and ends to maintain shine and moisture.

Avoid Excessive Heat Styling: Try to limit heat styling to a few times per week to prolong the life of your extensions.

4. Care After Bathing

Washing your Butterfly Weft correctly is essential for maintaining its softness and appearance. Here’s how to do it the right way:

Use a Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner: Sulfates can strip moisture from the hair, making it dry and brittle. Choose mild, hydrating products.

Wash with Lukewarm Water: Avoid using hot water, as it can weaken the cuticles and cause the hair to become rough.

Pat Dry Instead of Rubbing: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water and pat dry with a microfiber towel. Avoid rubbing the hair aggressively.

Detangle When Slightly Damp: Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle the extensions when they are about 70% dry. Always start from the ends and work your way up.

Avoid Heavy Styling Products: Heavy leave-ins, gels, or creams can cause buildup, making the extensions feel greasy and weighed down.

5. Additional Tips for Long-Term Maintenance

To maximize the lifespan of your Butterfly Weft extensions, follow these extra maintenance tips:

Avoid Chlorine and Salt Water: If swimming, wear a swim cap or apply a leave-in conditioner to protect the hair from harsh chemicals and saltwater.

Schedule Regular Touch-Ups: If your Butterfly Weft is installed using a sewn-in or beaded method, visit a professional stylist for adjustments every 6-8 weeks.
