Butterfly Weft Hair Extensions - Straight - 18 inches - Color 4

Butterfly Weft No. 4: Virtually Invisible Dark Golden Blonde Microbead Extensions

Shade No. 4 combines the depth of a dark blonde with subtle golden highlights. Warm without being overly light, it creates a luminous, multidimensional finish on dark blonde, warm light brown, and honey-toned hair.

With Butterfly Weft, this shade is available in a new-generation extension weft. The human hair is injected directly into an ultra-thin polyurethane membrane, with no bulky stitching or visible knots. At only 0.003 inches (0.08 mm) thick, the edge lies flat and close to the head.

Evenly spaced perforations allow the stylist to use a hook tool to pull small sections of the client’s natural hair through the membrane, then secure them with microbeads. This heat-free hair extension method requires no adhesive, heat, or braiding.

Once properly installed and covered by the client’s natural hair, the weft blends discreetly into the finished style. It adds length and density while keeping the attachment area flexible, flat, and barely noticeable to the touch.

Why Choose No. 4 Dark Golden Blonde Hair Extensions?

Dark Golden Blonde is an in-between shade that brightens the hair without creating a harsh contrast. It works especially well with warm, golden, caramel, and honey undertones.

These dark golden blonde hair extensions can add length to the client’s natural hair, create fuller-looking volume, or complement a warm balayage. Always confirm the color before installation, as Shade No. 4 may appear different depending on the lighting and the tones already present in the client’s hair.

For the most accurate match, compare the swatch against several areas of the hair in natural light using the RH Excellence professional color swatch ring.

Benefits of the Virtually Invisible Butterfly Microbead Weft

An Ultra-Thin Edge That Lies Flat

The injected membrane minimizes the bulk commonly associated with a sewn weft. When properly positioned and covered with enough natural hair, it creates an exceptionally discreet attachment, even with many updos and pulled-back styles.

An Adhesive-Free, Heat-Free Method

The weft is secured exclusively with microbeads clamped using extension pliers. No adhesive is applied to the hair, and no heating tool is used during installation. At a move-up appointment, the beads are opened so the weft can be removed and repositioned.

Weight Distributed Across the Full Width

The 2.1 oz (60 g) of human hair is distributed across a 16.9-inch (43-cm) weft. This helps spread the weight evenly instead of concentrating it at only a few attachment points.

For fine, fragile, or thinning hair, the stylist must still evaluate the density and strength of the client’s natural hair before choosing this method.

A Customizable Weft for Different Placement Areas

Butterfly Weft can be cut between perforations to customize its width for different areas of the head. The perforations, spaced approximately 0.8 inches (2 cm) apart, make it easy to adjust the weft without fraying or significant shedding.

Remy Human Hair and Butterfly Weft Lifespan

Butterfly Weft No. 4 is made with professional-quality Remy human hair designed to meet the needs of extension specialists and salon professionals. The cuticles are aligned in the same direction to help preserve softness, shine, and smooth movement through the lengths.

Its Middle Drawn quality maintains a natural density, with ends that are slightly less full than the mid-lengths. This makes it easier to blend the extensions into the client’s natural hair.

With proper care and gentle handling, the weft can be reused for several months. It may last up to 12 months depending on how often it is worn, the client’s styling habits and at-home care routine, and the quality of the move-up appointments.

A move-up is generally recommended every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the client’s natural hair growth.

Butterfly Weft No. 4 Technical Specifications

What Hair Types Is Butterfly Weft Best For?

This virtually invisible weft is especially well suited to clients who want added volume without an adhesive-based or heat-applied method. Fine hair requires a professional consultation first, while thick or wavy hair can benefit from the microbead installation and the discreet, ultra-thin weft.

In practical terms, this system offers an alternative to heated keratin bonds, adhesive tape-ins, and visible clips. The stability of the installation depends primarily on the strength of the roots and the client’s natural hair density at the time of the consultation.

How to Install Butterfly Weft No. 4

This installation is intended for professionals trained in hair extension application. The time required depends on the number of wefts, the desired density, and the placement plan.

1. Assess the client’s hair
   Evaluate the condition of the scalp, as well as the density, length, and strength of the natural hair. Determine the appropriate extension weight and confirm Shade No. 4 in natural light using the RH Excellence color swatch ring.
2. Create the sections
   Make clean horizontal partings, beginning at the nape. Leave enough natural hair around each placement area to conceal the membrane and microbeads.
3. Customize the weft
   Measure the width needed and, if necessary, cut the weft only between two perforations.
4. Install the microbeads
   Secure both ends of the weft first. At each perforation, use a hook tool to pull through a small section of the client’s natural hair, insert the microbead, and clamp it with professional extension pliers while working toward the center.
5. Check the tension, blend, and finish
   Make sure the weft lies flat and every attachment point feels comfortable. Complete the service by cutting and blending the Dark Golden Blonde lengths into the client’s natural hair.

How to Care for Blonde Butterfly Weft Extensions

Proper care helps preserve the shine of the golden blonde tones and the quality of the human hair over time.

• Choose a gentle shampoo and hair care products formulated for human hair extensions.
• Apply masks and conditioners to the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the membrane and microbeads.
• Detangle gradually from the ends toward the roots while supporting the attachment area.
• Thoroughly dry the roots, membrane, and beads after every wash.
• Never go to bed with wet or damp hair.
• Keep oils, serums, and oil-based products away from the attachment points.
• Wear the hair in a loose braid at night to reduce friction and tangling.
• Apply a heat protectant before styling and never exceed 356°F (180°C).
• Use highly pigmented shampoos with caution, as they may alter the golden tones. Perform a strand test first if needed.

Butterfly Weft No. 4: Frequently Asked Questions

How Is Butterfly Weft Different from a Traditional Weft?

On a traditional weft, the hair is generally sewn onto a thicker fabric base. Butterfly Weft uses a 0.003-inch (0.08-mm) polyurethane membrane into which the hair is injected directly. This knot-free construction reduces bulk along the edge and helps the weft lie flatter for a virtually invisible blend.

Which Hair Colors Match Shade No. 4?

No. 4 Dark Golden Blonde works best with dark blonde and warm light brown bases. It can also complement certain honey or caramel shades. Always compare the hair with the RH Excellence color swatch ring, as two colors at the same level may have different undertones.

Can Butterfly Weft Be Installed on Fine Hair?

The width of the membrane helps distribute the weft’s weight. However, this does not mean the method is suitable for every client with fine hair. Only a professional consultation can determine whether the client’s natural density, root strength, and overall hair condition are appropriate for this method.

How Many Wefts Are Needed for a Full Installation?

The amount varies depending on the client’s natural density and desired result. As a general guideline:

• Two wefts, totaling 4.2 oz (120 g), are generally suitable for adding length and volume to medium-density hair.
• Three wefts, totaling 6.3 oz (180 g), may be used for a fuller transformation or naturally thick hair.

The final recommendation should always be determined during the professional consultation.

When Should Butterfly Weft Be Moved Up?

The weft is generally repositioned every 4 to 6 weeks. The exact timing depends on the client’s hair growth, bead retention, and maintenance between appointments.

Can Dark Golden Blonde Butterfly Weft Be Recolored?

The hair may be colored to a darker shade after performing a strand test. Bleaching is not recommended because it may affect the hair’s softness and lifespan. Hair color should never be applied to the polyurethane membrane.
