Weft extensions are booming across Europe. Among the options, Indian machine weft gives salons a durable, cost-effective base that clients love.
What is a machine weft?
A machine weft is a strip of hair sewn together at the top using an industrial sewing machine. The stitching creates a strong, flat seam that holds hair securely. Made with raw Indian hair, it combines strength with a natural finish.
Machine weft vs other wefts
| Weft type | Thickness | Can be cut? | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Machine weft | Medium | Yes | € | Sew-ins, wigs, volume |
| Hand-tied weft | Very thin | No | €€€ | Fine hair, invisible finish |
| Genius weft | Thin | Yes | €€ | Beaded rows, flat finish |
Why salons choose Indian machine weft
- Durable: the double seam resists shedding even with frequent washing.
- Cut to size: stylists can trim the weft to fit any head shape without unravelling.
- Great value: more hair per euro than hand-tied options.
- Natural blend: Indian hair’s medium density matches European and mixed hair types well.
- Colour ready: raw, unprocessed hair takes toner and bleach evenly.
Installation methods
Machine wefts work with sew-in (braid-down), micro-bead rows, tape-and-sew hybrids and wig making. Many stylists double the weft for extra volume.
Care tips
- Brush gently from ends upward with a loop brush
- Use sulphate-free shampoo
- Avoid conditioner on the weft seam
- Air dry when possible and use heat protectant

How many wefts do you need?
Machine weft is usually sold in bundles of about 100 g. For a full sew-in, most stylists use 3 bundles for lengths up to 16 inches and 3 to 4 bundles for 18 to 24 inches. Longer lengths, or clients who want extra volume, may need 4 to 5 bundles.
Choosing the right texture for European clients
European salons serve a wide range of hair types, and Indian hair covers most of them:
- Straight machine weft bundles suit fine to medium European hair and take colour well
- Wavy bundles add natural movement and blend with soft waves
- Curly bundles suit clients with textured and mixed-heritage hair
Lighter clients often want blonde shades. 613 blonde bundles can be toned to match.
Questions to ask your supplier
- Is the weft double-stitched so it does not shed when cut?
- Can the weft be cut to size without unravelling?
- Is the hair from a single donor batch, so colour matches across bundles?
- Can the hair be coloured and heat styled?
- What are the delivery times and customs arrangements for the UK and EU?
