Are you looking for the very best in weave hair extensions in Melbourne? At CitiHair, we offer an extensive range of premium human hair sewn-in hair extensions.
Ideal for medium to thick hair, weaves instantly add volume and length to any hair. Available in a variety of colours, lengths, and hair types (curly, wavy, straight), our handmade weaves are perfect for adding more hair without the feel of extra weight.
Extensions tend to shed just like our natural hair. However, weft hair extensions can shed slightly more if not cared for properly. The good news is, handmade wefts have reduced this problem by about 95%. This means you get premium quality human hair wefts that look great and last longer.
We offer a number of application methods for our sewn-in hair extensions. If you’re not sure that is right for you, our expert team can walk you through the options and help you decide on the best option for your hair.
Braided in Weft Extensions
Braided-in extensions involve making thin tracks of natural hair, with the wefts then sewn in flatly across the scalp from left to right. Your own hair is then left loose in between the tracks, creating a natural look.
This method leaves your hair looking flawless. This style can last up to 12 weeks with proper care and maintenance.
One advantage of the braided method is that the real hair is protected from styling, manipulation, which helps with natural growth and length retention.
Invisible Micro Weft Extensions
Micro weaving is the most popular method for adding permanent extensions. This method applies both weave extensions and micro ring extensions. It requires less maintenance, is easy to apply and remove, and comfortable to wear.
We always get great client feedback with this method. Additionally, it is much better for people with a sensitive scalp or those experiencing hair loss and baldness in certain areas of their scalp.
Invisible micro wefts provide the ultimate in volume. They are perfect when hand tied wefts are used. Every row is flat and attached to your natural hair with the micro rings.
Micro weave extensions involve a minimum number of bonds, with less hair required to attach the extensions. This provides minimum usage of your natural hair, leaving it to breathe and grow undisturbed while experiencing the fuller look of beautiful hair extensions.
Full Braided Weft Extensions
Full braided extensions are the most common extension method for Afro hair and have been used for hundreds of years. This method is suitable for all hair types and texture.
This method involves creating cornrows in a natural growth pattern, the sewing wefts onto the braids. We generally choose a braiding pattern based on your head and the desired style.
Sometimes we may add a net on top of the braids that will function as a base for the extensions so that they are sewn to the netting instead of directly onto your natural hair. This is to ensure the hair underneath the wefts grows well while you get to enjoy your new extensions.
These extensions can be kept for three months or more and are a great way to change your look, whether it’s from straight hair to curly hair, or from brunette to blonde. Basically you can obtain any look imaginable by using this method.
Cornrow Braided Extensions
Cornrows and braiding are classic ways to care for hair that is frequently coarse and very curly. Often used in African cultures, cornrows have become a widespread hair care technique for countless men and women.
Many decide to have their hair braided for various reasons. Some include protecting the hair from environmental damage, to lengthen hair or to have a versatile style. Whatever the reason for braids the styles are truly endless when using a universal technique and adding a little imagination.
Extensions are added using the cornrow method from top of the head to the bottom. There’s no need for sewing. Simply add extensions to the hair with a continuous cornrowing.
It is a fast and practical way of adding highlights to your natural hair.

Crotchet Braids
If you’re looking for a protective style that can give you big, full hair in a relatively short installation time, crochet braids are your new best friend.
They provide a number of versatile ways to wear your hair and are much easier to pull off at home compared to box braids or sew-in extensions, especially for anyone who considers themselves an amateur.
A great crochet braided style can last for more than a month and might leave people thinking you aren’t wearing extensions at all.
A special hook is used to add hair extensions onto your own natural hair. We use this method to add extensions quickly without the need of sewing the hair.
The method is suitable for all hair types and requires less maintenance than the full braided option. It makes it easy to wash between the scalp, and is secure and quick to install.
Tree Braids
Tree braids are a popular African-American hairstyle that applies extensions to the hair with small, tight braids. This lets you add length and volume to your current hairstyle.
Although the style can be done with most hair types, it works best with the thick, kinky types of African hair.
After creating cornrow braids in the natural hair, the weave extensions are then braided down and the rest of the hair is left free. Many of our clients like this method because it allows more versatility than a fully cornrowed base.
Micro Braids
Micro braids are tiny braids that are braided tightly into the hair. They last a long time and require minimal daily maintenance. While many people avoid this hairstyle because of the amount of time it takes to install, micro braids are one of the easiest styles to rock.
This hairstyle is mostly popular among women of African descent. It is a popular protective hairstyle, especially when using synthetic hair or natural hair extensions.
This method creates a more natural look and replaces the micro beads and fusion methods for those who prefer an alternative method.
