Abstract
An improved wefted hair extension method and device that is an improvement upon the standard weft with any grade, shade or texture of hair attached. Extending from the top of the weft are pairs of threads going exactly through the center of the weft. Each pair of threads has a round tipped guide in place of a needle and thread to navigate the thread through the braid. The time spent in application of the wefted hair to the person's natural hair is greatly reduced by use of precisely positioned and pre-threaded attachment threads that can be placed along the length of the wearers braid and quickly secured.
