Hand tied means the wefts have been pre-cut to approximately 10 inch pieces and have been sewn by hand to make the smallest wefting possible for the most invisible look. Pieces should not be cut or they will unravel. The smallness of the hand tied weft is great for weaving. Hand tied hair can be cut from the weft to use for fusions. On the other hand, regular weft is when the hair is not cut into pieces but is one continuous weft that can be cut. The weft is slightly larger than the hand tied. Tips: to help against shedding after you cut the weft, add some bonding glue on the edges.
