Weft extensions are a collection of hair strands that are sewn together to create a machine weft approximately 60cm wide (they can be cut to size). With this method we create a beaded track in the natural hair and sew the weft to the beaded track.
Our Angel weft extensions are 100% human remy hair. Installed extremely close to the scalp, they provide some of the most natural-looking results.
We offer premium weft extensions in the following sizes:
Machine weft extensions - 24”60cm
Machine weft extensions - 20”/50cm
SlimFit weft extensions - 20”/50cm
Our premium weft extensions are virtually invisible, meaning no one will be able to tell you’re wearing them. Layered flat on the head, they won’t show any bumps and they’ll look completely natural giving you extra confidence.
Swimming can affect the quality of your weft extensions; they can become knotted, or even worse, matted. Swimming in salt or chlorine water can also affect the material that is attaching your extensions to your natural hair. This is why we recommend that you don’t swim with your weft extensions.
In saying that, we know it’s hard to keep away from the water (especially on a warm day). While swimming can affect your weft extensions, there are two different things you can do to prevent this from occurring.
1. Pop a swimming cap on to protect your hair
It might not look flattering, but you’ll thank us later!
2. Dry your hair straight away.
As soon as you get out of the water, the first thing you need to do is grab your hair brush. Gently brush the knots out and dry the bonds as soon as you can. Leaving them wet can lead to further water damage, ultimately ruining the weft extensions.
3. Apply the right care accessories.
Spray your extensions with our Angel Refreshing Conditioner before and after to keep moisture in the extensions and treat with our Angel Repair Creme after swimming.
Weft extensions should be removed and reinstalled every 6-8 weeks. Frequently adjusting your weft extensions means that they’ll be less visible as your hair slowly grows out, allowing them to seamlessly blend in. Leaving maintenance for too long will create a gap between the weft extensions and natural hair, eventually leading to breakage and damage.
We always say that care and maintenance of hair extensions are key when it comes to longevity. When caring for your weft extensions, we recommend you use our Angel Shampoo and Conditioner when washing them. This will ensure your hair extensions stay fresh, soft and shiny for future use.
Weft extensions should generally only be washed 2-3 times a week.
1. Separate your tape extensions with your fingers and brush through with a specially designed extension brush.
2. Wet your hair with lukewarm water and apply our Angel Shampoo.
3. Pat in a downwards motion (note: make sure you’re gentle while doing this to prevent tangled hair).
4. Rinse out with lukewarm water and squeeze excess water out.
5. Apply our Angel Conditioner to the second half of the hair to the very ends.
6. Leave Angel Conditioner in and blowdry hair on a medium heat. Brush through gently.

If you’re a gym lover, a little bit more care for your weft extensions during exercise is vital for keeping them in good condition. Make sure you’re keeping your hair tied back, away from the forehead and neck where most of your sweat accumulates. If working out outside and wearing sunscreen, make sure your extensions do not rub on the sunscreen (this will give the extensions an orange stain).
Remember to give your hair a little TLC after your workout too. Rinse the sweat out of your hair and apply our Leave-In Conditioner to stop it from becoming dry and matted.
Tangling of hair extensions can happen for a variety of different reasons; not using the correct hair care products, not letting the hair dry properly after washing, not brushing knots out, or product build-up.

While you can go ahead and colour your weft extensions, it’s important to note that doing so can alter the quality of your hair extensions. To ensure they’re long-lasting, it’s best to steer clear of colouring the hair.
If you do decide that you want to colour your hair extensions, we always recommend doing a strand test first. This allows you to see how the hair extensions will react to the colouring brand that you want to use. Hair extensions can be coloured or toned darker, however lightening extensions will most likely ruin the quality.
Weft extensions are not permanent. They can last up to a few months with the proper care, and easily be removed with the help of a professional.
We recommend storing your weft extensions on The Assistant - our second pair of hands that will keep your hair tangle-free and stored properly.
If you’re looking to store your extensions away for a while, you can store them in our Angel Suit Bag.
We recommend you visit a professional for the removal of your weft extensions. This will ensure your premium hair extensions are removed properly, and your natural hair stays in healthy condition.
Weft extensions are best suited to those with fine or thin hair. Weft extensions add length and volume, making them perfect for those wanting a fuller look.
