How to Turn Old Wefts Into Custom K-Tips: A Step-by-Step Guide for ENVIE Stylists

Extensions are an investment, for both you and your clients. But what if we told you those old ENVIE wefts sitting in your drawer could be transformed into brand-new, custom K-tips? Not only does this maximize your client’s investment, but it also gives you total control over placement, density, and customization. Here’s how to do it, step by step.

 

Step 1: Prep the Weft

Start by cutting the weft line off of your client’s old extensions. You’ll be left with free hair strands, ready to be reshaped into K-tips.

Step 2: Melt the Keratin

Using your heating tool, melt a small amount of keratin powder until it becomes tacky and pliable. This will serve as the bonding base for your new tips.

Step 3: Form the Strip

Lay a small section of the hair into the melted keratin and gently press it together to create a thin strip. Keep the keratin evenly distributed for a clean finish.

Step 4: Trim to Size

Once the strip has cooled and hardened, cut it down:

  • Height: Trim the top to match the ideal length for a K-tip bond.
  • Width: Cut each strip into narrow sections based on the client’s density needs.

Step 5: Install as Usual

Now you have custom K-tips, ready for application with a fusion tool. You can even tone or custom-color the wefts before conversion for an even more personalized result.

Why This Method Is Great

✔️ Eco-conscious: Extend the life of old wefts instead of tossing them.

✔️ Cost-effective: Maximizes your client’s investment.

✔️ Customizable: Control size, density, and placement for flawless results.

✔️ Luxury-level service: Clients will love the innovation and personal touch.
