The methods
Hand-tied or I-tip? Here's the honest difference.
There's no single best method — only the best method for your hair, your lifestyle, and your goals. Here's how the two compare, in plain language.
Aprille's signature
Hand-tied wefts
- How it works: thin, flexible wefts sewn by hand onto a small beaded row — no glue, no heat.
- Feels like: the lightest, most natural lay. Ponytails, beach days, workouts all work.
- Best for: adding length and fullness across the whole head with maximum comfort.
- Maintenance: a move-up appointment roughly every 2 months as your hair grows.
Precision option
I-tip strands
- How it works: individual strands attached with tiny beads — strand-by-strand control, no glue, no heat.
- Feels like: targeted fullness exactly where you want it, with 360° movement.
- Best for: framing the face, filling specific areas, and blending shorter layers.
- Maintenance: move-ups roughly every 2 months, same rhythm as hand-tied.
