LA Weave, also known as the micro ring weave, is a popular hair extension method designed to add length and volume while maintaining a natural, lightweight feel.
It is a great option for clients who want a flexible, low-tension installation without the use of glue or heat.
WHAT IS LA WEAVE?
LA Weave is a technique where small micro rings (beads) are used to create a secure base along the scalp. Hair wefts are then sewn onto this base.
Unlike traditional sew-ins:
No braiding is required
There is less tension on the scalp
The installation feels lighter and more flexible

LA Weave is suitable if you:
Want added volume or moderate length

HOW MANY ROWS DO YOU NEED?
The number of rows depends on your desired look and hair density.
1 row → light volume or filling
2 rows → natural full look
3 rows → fuller, more glamorous result
A consultation helps determine what works best for you.
HOW LONG DOES LA WEAVE LAST?
LA Weave typically lasts:
👉 6–8 weeks before maintenance (refit)
During maintenance, the rows are removed and reinstalled closer to the scalp.
IS LA WEAVE HIGH MAINTENANCE?
