Hey gorgeous! So, you’ve got your hands on a gorgeous set of PU hole weft hair extensions—great choice! PU wefts are a fantastic option for adding length, volume, and that wow-factor to your natural hair. They’re comfortable, durable, and incredibly versatile.
But we know that installing them can seem a little tricky if you’re new to it. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! In this PU hole weft installation guide, we’ll walk you through two popular methods to install your PU hole wefts: using extension loops and using replacement adhesive tapes. Both are easy once you know how!
What Are PU Hole Weft Extensions?
First, a quick refresher: PU wefts feature polyurethane tabs with pre-punched holes. These holes allow for multiple installation options—either with clips/loops or with adhesive tapes slipped through. They’re designed for easy application, strong hold, and comfortable wear.
Method 1: Using Extension Loops (Beaded Method)
This method uses small metal or silicone-lined beads (often called microbeads or loops) to secure the weft to your natural hair. It’s a semi-permanent method that offers a strong hold and is easily adjustable.
Why Choose This Method?
- Great for longer-term wear
- Strong and secure hold
- Adjustable and reusable
What You’ll Need:
- PU hole weft hair extensions
- Extension loops (microbeads)
- Loop closing pliers or a bead-closing tool
- Hair sectioning clips
- Comb
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Section Your Hair
Start with clean, dry, and product-free hair. Section out a thin layer of hair at the nape of your neck. This will be your first row.
Place the Weft
Place the weft against your scalp where you want it installed. Make sure the PU tape lies flat.
Thread Your Natural Hair
Use a crochet hook to remove a small amount of hair from the hole.
Through The Bead
Gather the two section of your natural hair and pull it through the loop.
Secure the Bead
Use your pliers to clamp the loop shut firmly—but not too tight! You don’t want to damage your hair or the weft.
Repeat
Move up to the next section and repeat the process until all wefts are securely installed.
Method 2: Using Replacement Adhesive Tapes
If you prefer a quicker method without beads, adhesive tapes are your best friend. This approach uses double-sided tape for a flat, seamless hold. The installation method is the same as ordinary tape in hair extensions.
Why Choose This Method?
- Faster application
- Flatter, more seamless look
- Lightweight and comfortable
What You’ll Need:
- PU hole weft extensions
- Replacement adhesive tapes (designed for PU wefts)
- Alcohol-based cleansing spray or wipe (for prepping)
- Hair sectioning clips
- Comb
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prep Your Hair and Wefts
Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and free of oils. Wipe the PU tape area on the weft with a little alcohol spray to remove any residue.
Remove the Second Backing
Once the tape is attached to the weft, remove the top protective layer to expose the sticky side.
Apply the Adhesive Tape
Peel off the protective backing from one side of the adhesive tape and carefully press it onto the weft’s PU strip. Make sure the tape aligns with the holes.
Press and Hold
Place the weft against your scalp, sticky side down. Press firmly for 10–15 seconds.
Which Method Is Right for You?
In this PU hole weft installation guide. Both methods are beginner-friendly with a little practice. Always remember to care for your extensions and your natural hair by using sulfate-free products and avoiding roots when applying oils or heavy conditioners.
