Invisible Hair Weave is a new method of extension that uses no braids or glue to attach the commercial hair to the natural hair.The most recent development in weaving extensions is lace extensions. Lace extensions are made from a nylon mesh material formed into a cap that is then hand ventilated by knotting single strands of hair into the tiny openings of the capform, giving the hair a more natural, realistic flow than conventional extensions, and creating a lighter, more breathable cap. These extension units can be woven in or attached to the hairline with special adhesives. To ensure a proper fit, head measurements are taken into account with this type of weave.

The highest quality extension hair, "virgin hair", is hair that has never been processed. The term covers all textures of American hair, European hair, Brazilian hair, Indonesian hair, and Indian hair, and is usually donated. High quality extension hair can be chemically altered to achieve different textures.

The benefits of hair weaving and extensions include the ability to wear any texture without having to chemically treat the natural hair.

• Thick thread (preferably a color that matches the color of the hair) to attach the hair weft securely.

• A long and/or curved needle, which could be a smaller upholstery needle.

• Hair glue specifically made for hair weaves. The glue can be easily washed out using a special shampoo/conditioner that will remove the glue without taking the real hair out. A special glue remover may also be used.

• Hair extensions. The number of sets depends on the style and thickness desired. It is common for people to get two sets at once. Depending on the weaving technique, the wearer can either use hair wefts or individual strands.

Other types of extensions that can be added to the hair include ponytails, or ponytail pieces.

Just as any wig or wigpiece, the colors for hair to be weaved can range from "realistic" colors.such as red, black, brown and blonde, to other colors such as pink, blue ,green and purple.
