Invisible Hair Extensions are just what they sound like — hair extensions that are completely discrete and invisible. You can wear invisible hair extensions in any style and in any situation and they will not show. The secret lies in the Beaded Weft Track System, a method that goes by many names including Beaded Weft Hair Extensions and Invisible Beaded Weft Extensions.
How Are Invisible Hair Extensions Applied?
Your stylist will first determine how many rows or tracks you need. Depending on how much hair you’re adding, you’ll need between 1 and 3 rows. Women adding only volume typically need 1 row, while most clients adding both length and volume need 2. Those seeking extreme, dramatic length will most likely need 3 rows.
Building the Beaded Track
After your stylist creates the row, they begin forming the Beaded Track. Sections of your natural hair are fed through a small aluminum bead in 1-inch increments until a track spans the entire length of the row. This track serves as a secure attachment point where the extensions are sewn on.
Attaching the Hair Weft
Once the track is formed, your stylist sews a hair weft onto it. A hair weft is a bundle of extension hair micro-sewn at the top into a very thin layer. Because both the attachment point and the weft are extremely thin, the extensions are completely invisible — no noticeable bump. Your stylist will also apply a root shadow to seamlessly blend the extensions with your natural hair color.
Be Careful When Choosing a Hair Extension Salon or Stylist
Invisible Hair Extensions is a generic term that applies to a wide variety of methods using the Beaded Track System — and not all of these methods are the same quality. In fact, there is only one invisible weft extension method that is completely safe and non-damaging: The Glamour Locks Hair Extension System.
The Glamour Locks Hair Extension System has been around for over 10 years. When it was invented, there were no other beaded weft methods available — and certainly no non-damaging extension methods at all. That’s why Glamour Locks patented their system to protect it from competitors. It remains the only patented, invisible, and guaranteed safe method of hair extensions.
Why Choose Invisible Hair Extensions?
Invisible extensions were created to solve three significant problems caused by older extension methods: damage to hair and scalp from direct attachment, irritation from bead-to-scalp contact, and limited styling versatility. The Glamour Locks system eliminates all three.
Completely hidden even when worn up in a ponytail or bun — in any situation.
Wearable at the gym, while swimming, and in situations where tapes and bonds would fail.
Many clients forget they’re even wearing them after just a few days.
No tape, adhesives, glue, or scalp contact. Weight is evenly distributed for a healthy grow-out.
Endless lengths, colors, and textures — plus quick, easy installation and upkeep.
Authentic human hair only — eliminating breakage, bald spots, and low-quality synthetic results.
