The biggest difference between the two products is the thickness of the weft (top part of the extension). Our new Hand-Sewn Wefts have all the benefits of our hand-tied wefts but are stronger, ultra-thin, more comfortable, and even more customizable. 

HAND-SEWN WEFTS

Our Hand-Sewn Wefts are thicker and fuller from top to bottom than a traditional hand-tied weft. These can be cut at any point without unraveling and has an enhanced seam technology featuring a double lock stitch and stronger adhesive. One of the biggest benefits is that there is no ‘return hair’ at the top of the weft with these. These are also available in half packs Our Platform Micro K-Tips feature a revolutionary design, unrivaled comfort, efficient design, and more. These extensions are a game changer for the customer and the stylist. Available in 18”, 22” and 25”.

MICRO K-TIPS

The unique shape and size of Platform Micro K-Tips are revolutionary and exclusive. The keratin bond on these extensions have a very distinct, tapered/triangular shape that won't need to be trimmed or cut and are easily installed. The "micro" bonds are so tiny that we encourage you to put them right around hairlines and under parts to fill in any gaps in your hair.

These Micro K-Tips will give you incredible volume and length while remaining seamless and even more undetectable than other hair extensions. The best part is you get all this without sacrificing your comfort. Each pack includes 20 pieces.

How can I ensure that I pick the right color?

We have provided several pictures to help give you a good indication of true color; however, for perfect assurance, we recommend you order a Platform Hair Extensions color swatch or reach out to us to get colored matched. Please email us at info@platformhairextensions.com and include photos of your current hair in natural lighting as well as your inspo photo. In the meantime, if you receive the extensions and decide you need a different color then please return it and exchange it, free of charge (for a product of equal or lesser value), for another color you think may work better.

For refunds and exchanges please note that extensions must be returned in the same exact form in which you received them (without being untied and removed from their packaging) to receive a refund. A 10% restocking fee will apply to all returns.

How many wefts/bags of hair does one head require?

We recommend 8-16 wefts per head depending on desired fullness and length. Remember each bag comes with 8 wefts. The average person will typically use between 10-12 wefts. In many cases, it is recommended to use two or more colors to achieve a more natural look.

How often should I get new Hand-Sewn Wefts?

We recommend purchasing new hair anywhere between 6 - 12 months. Proper care and regular trims help extend the lifespan of the hair. 

How often should I get new Micro K-Tips?

Our Micro K-Tip Extensions cannot be reused - the hair will need to be replaced every time. We recommend for the hairline application around every 6 weeks and for a full head application around 3 months.

When will items be back in stock?

If ever we have a product out of stock, we will work to get it restocked as soon as possible. We ship our product from our manufacturing plant overseas which can take several weeks; however, please be sure to email us with the product you're looking for and we will notify you as soon as we have your desired product restocked. 

How do I care for my extensions?

Wash: Use only professional products that are paraben- and sulfate-free. Apply a hair mask (a stronger conditioner) every 3-5 times you wash your hair, use a hair mask to lengthen the life of your extensions. Try not to wash too often.

Products: Two products are essential to maintain your extensions in top condition — leave-in moisturizer with heat protectant capability and moisturizing oil. Apply the leave-in moisturizer to your hair after washing but while it’s still wet. The oil should be applied daily to wet and dry hair.

Drying and styling: blot dry excess water after shower, never rub towel on the extensions causing friction.

Blow dry, flat iron and curling iron on low heat settings (below 350 degrees). Blow dry and style often to keep your extensions smooth. Going to bed with them wet can cause matting and knots. Comb often using a weft brush or wide tooth comb. ( start at the bottom of your hair and work your way to the top).

Sleeping: Braid extensions before bed to keep from tangling. Sleep on a silk pillow for less friction.

Swimming and adventuring:  Summertime in the BEST but it's hard on the extensions. If you choose to swim with your extensions, wet your hair, add a generous amount of leave in conditioner and braid before entering the ocean, pool or lake. (Your hair is like a sponge and will soak up whatever liquid it comes in contact with first, so fill your hair with water and leave-in conditioner to protect from drying out).

Use a clarifying shampoo and very moisturizing conditioner upon completion.

Take your time combing it out.

Minerals found in large bodies of water and chlorine can react negatively with extensions. Platform Hair Extensions is not responsible for negative reactions. Limit contact with salt water and chlorine (ocean or pool).

**Most sunscreens contain chemicals that may permanently discolor or stain hair extensions — especially those extensions lighter in color. The most common of these chemicals are Avobenzone and Octocrylene. Use mineral sunscreens such as Bare Republic Mineral Sunscreen or SunBum Mineral Sunscreen to avoid discoloration of your extensions.

Platform Hair Extensions is not responsible for any negative result to your extensions following these activities.

Coloring: Coloring extensions can change the integrity of the extensions. However, if you choose to do so, we suggest a demi or semi permanent color, never use any lightener or bleach on the extensions. Any coloring should be done by a licensed professional. For best results contact a Platform certified stylist.
