If you are comparing weft hair extensions in Australia, the most useful specifications are weight, length, hair quality and how the weft will be installed. A 50g weft and a 130g weft are very different products even if they are the same length and colour.
This guide explains the main choices before you buy or book an installation.
A weft is a continuous strip of extension hair. Instead of attaching many individual strands, the installer works with rows of hair, commonly sewing or securing the weft to a bead-based row.
Because a weft can place a substantial amount of hair into each row, natural density, scalp condition, row placement and maintenance all matter. There is no single extension method that is suitable for everyone.
Original Diva offers two online weft weights:
| Weft option | Weight | When it may be considered |
|---|---|---|
| Double layer | 50g | Smaller amount of hair, targeted volume, additional rows or clients who do not require a full 130g section |
| Triple layer | 130g | Greater density and a larger amount of hair for clients whose natural hair and fitting plan can support it |
The heavier option is not automatically better. Your natural hair needs to support the weight comfortably, and the correct amount depends on the result you want.
The Original Diva online weft product is available in:
Length should be chosen together with weight and starting hair length. Very long hair without enough density can look thin through the ends, while unnecessary weight can make a fitting harder to support.
Wefts may suit clients with enough natural density and strength to support a row-based installation, particularly when the goal is substantial volume or length.
Clients with very fine, fragile or actively thinning hair should have their natural hair assessed before choosing a permanent method. In some cases, a lighter or removable option may be more appropriate.
Professional wefts are commonly fitted using a row-based method. Depending on the fitting plan, the weft may be sewn onto or attached to a bead-supported row. Original Diva does not use glue or heat for its weft installation method.
The number of rows and the amount of hair vary by client, which is why salon weft fitting is quoted after consultation rather than sold as one fixed installation price.
Maintenance timing depends on natural hair growth, row construction, the amount of extension hair and the condition of both the natural hair and the weft. Your installer should check the fit and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule rather than applying the same interval to everyone.
Often yes, provided the weft remains in suitable condition. Lifespan depends on washing, heat styling, product use, maintenance and general care. Reuse should be assessed at each appointment rather than guaranteed for a fixed number of months.

Colour names and numbers vary between brands. Original Diva offers a free colour-matching service; send clear photographs in natural light and Nicole can recommend the closest suitable shade or blend.
The best option depends on natural hair density, the amount of hair required, fitting method, shade match and maintenance. Compare actual weight, length and construction rather than relying on a generic “best” label.
Yes. Original Diva specifies 100% human, silicone-free hair for its weft range.
The difference is the amount of extension hair. The 130g triple-layer option contains considerably more hair than the 50g double-layer option, so suitability depends on the client and fitting plan.
Yes. The online weft product is available in 12″, 16″, 20″ and 22″ lengths. This is separate from the salon-installed tape range, which is currently 20-inch only.
