A Production Process Designed to Deliver Luxury

We craft our proprietary Cut-Point Wefts from high-density, cool-toned virgin hair and meticulous, cuticle-preserving processes so you can deposit color quickly, lift to platinum without brassiness, and customize our complementary lengths with ease.

1.

Sorting the Hair

We ethically source our hair from the Western regions of China. Women are fairly compensated for their hair and then it is brought to the factory for a meticulous sorting process.

Testing the Hair

Every bundle is tested to ensure it is virgin & cuticle Intact hair. The hair is meticulously sorted by whether it has a blue or red undertone to determine if it can be dyed blonde. We only use hair that can be bleached to blonde (even for dark hair), so that it remains cool over time.

Color Prep

Covet & Mane® uses a proprietary process to ensure the cuticle remains intact & aligned throughout the entire coloring process. While we can’t show you the process, take our word for it – this process is unique and the key to ensuring tangle-free hair extensions.

4.
Depigmentation

First, the hair undergoes a slow & precise de-pigmentation process. The color is lightened by an oxidation method that uses a proprietary blend of lightening agents to preserve the cuticle integrity.

Repigmentation

During the Re-pigmentation process, precise attention to detail is required. We use a permanent textile dye that stains the cortex of the hair to ensure color longevity. The hair is constantly agitated for thorough & even color saturation.

6.
Rinsing

Every bundle of hair is washed at least 30 times. During cleansing & conditioning, proprietary treatments are constantly reformulated to respond to seasonal changes. The hair is smoothed before it is air-dried to allow for a silky feel without silicones or fillers.

Double Drawn

The short hairs are removed from every bundle to ensure that the hair is thick from root to tip. Over 90% of our hair is at least the quoted length.

Color Blending

The hair is weighed and sorted for precisely customized color formulations. The hair is now ready to begin the hand-tying process.

The Hand-Tied Process

It takes a worker one hour to make each hand-tied weft — It takes one day to make one bag of hair. Our hand-tied wefts use a proprietary cut-point weft feature that allows the hand-tied weft to be cut without unraveling.
