Beaded Row Weft Extension Techniques at Monaco Salon

The Three Beaded Row Methods

The beaded row method attaches genius wefts to your natural hair using small silicone-lined beads. The core technique is the same across all three methods — beads are clamped onto sections of natural hair, and the weft is sewn onto the beaded row. The differences are in how the beads are arranged, how many rows are used, and how the weft is positioned.

Method 1: Single beaded row — a single row of beads is placed at the nape or mid-occipital area, and one weft is attached. This is the most subtle method and works best for clients wanting a small amount of added length or volume.

Method 2: Double beaded row — two rows of beads are placed, creating more surface area for the weft and allowing for more hair to be added. This is the most common method for clients wanting significant length and volume.

Method 3: Hidden beaded row — the beads are placed in a way that makes them invisible even when the hair is pulled back or up. This is the preferred method for clients who wear their hair in updos or ponytails frequently.

Which Method Is Right for You?

The right method depends on your hair type, the result you want, and your lifestyle. Clients with fine hair typically do better with a single row or hidden row method that distributes weight more carefully. Clients wanting maximum volume and length often prefer the double row method.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the beaded row extension method?

The beaded row method attaches hand-tied weft extensions to your natural hair using small silicone-lined beads clamped onto sections of hair. The weft is then sewn onto the beaded row, creating a flat, seamless attachment that lies close to the scalp. Monaco Salon offers three variations of the beaded row method — single row, double row, and hidden row — each suited to different hair types and desired results.

Are beaded row extensions damaging?

Beaded row extensions installed by a trained professional are not damaging to healthy natural hair. The silicone-lined beads grip the hair without cutting or stressing it, and the weft distributes weight across the entire row rather than concentrating it at a single point. Damage can occur if the beads are clamped too tightly, if the extensions are not moved up on schedule, or if the natural hair is too fine or fragile to support the weight of the weft.
