Machine Weft Thickness Explained: Single vs. Double Weft
Single weft and double weft are two terms that get thrown around without much explanation, but they genuinely change how a machine weft performs. After 21 years working with both, here's what you need to know before choosing.
PART ONE: What Single Weft Means
A single weft has one row of stitching securing the hair to the thread base. This creates a thinner, more lightweight track that's easier to conceal, especially on finer natural hair.
PART TWO: What Double Weft Means
A double weft has two rows of stitching, creating a denser, fuller track with more hair packed into the same length of weft. This adds volume but also adds some thickness at the base.
| Feature | Single Weft | Double Weft |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | Thinner, easier to conceal | Thicker, more noticeable at the base |
| Volume | Moderate | Higher, more hair per row |
| Best For | Fine to medium natural hair | Thick natural hair, maximum volume looks |
"Double weft isn't automatically 'better' — it's more hair per row, which is only an advantage if your natural hair can conceal that extra thickness."
PART THREE: How to Choose Between Them
Consider your natural hair density first. Thinner natural hair generally blends more seamlessly with single weft, while thicker natural hair can easily hide the extra thickness of double weft while enjoying the added volume.
BOTTOM LINE
Single and double weft aren't a quality distinction — they're a volume and thickness distinction. Match your choice to your natural hair density for the most seamless result.
