Safety

Tie

Both Genius Invisible Wefts and Keratin Wax Hair Extensions are safe for your own hair, provided they are professionally placed and properly maintained.

Keratin Wax: The extensions are attached to your own hair with keratin (a hair-friendly protein). A heat tool is used during application, but it does not damage your own hair.

Genius Invisible Wefts: The wefts are secured with thin, flexible micro rings without glue, tape, or heat. This minimizes the strain on your natural hair.

Conclusion: Both methods are safe when placed and maintained correctly. Preserving your natural hair's health is our top priority. That's why we don't offer tape-ins: that method simply isn't safe enough.

Visibility

Winner: Genius Invisible Wefts

Do you want your extensions to be completely invisible, even when you wear your hair in a loose ponytail or low updo? Then Genius Invisible Wefts are the best choice.

With keratin wax, you can also wear your hair up, but only with a lower amount of strands, which are not placed low in the neck. They can become visible faster, especially in thinner hair.

Invisible transition – the ultra-thin wefts blend perfectly into your own hair
No thick edges or visible attachments
Naturally falling hair without harsh lines

Conclusion: Genius Invisible Wefts are the winner if you want the most discrete and natural look.

Wear time

Winner: Genius Invisible Wefts

One of the biggest advantages of Genius Invisible Wefts is that they last up to three times longer than keratin wax extensions.

Genius Invisible Wefts can be re-tightened multiple times and therefore last an average of 8–9 months. After initial placement, they are re-tightened an average of 4 times, every ±7 weeks. That's a total of over 8 months wear time.

Keratin Wax Extensions stay beautiful for an average of 3–4 months. They grow out with your own hair and must then be replaced. When removing, we pulverize the wax bonds. Re-using loose wax extensions is only done during a service appointment.

Conclusion: Genius Invisible Wefts win because they have a longer lifespan and need to be replaced less often.

Price

Winner: Genius Invisible Wefts

In the long run, Genius Invisible Wefts are more economical than keratin wax extensions.

Long lifespan means you don't have to buy new hair as often
Can be re-tightened, whereas keratin wax extensions must be completely replaced
With thicker hair, keratin wax requires a high number of strands to achieve the same result as with genius invisible wefts

Conclusion: Genius Invisible Wefts are cheaper over time, despite a higher initial investment. To make it affordable for as many women as possible, we introduced the subscription.

Maintenance

Winner: Keratin Wax

If you prefer visiting the salon less often for maintenance, keratin wax is the best choice.

Keratin Wax Extensions stay secure for an average of 3.5 months without touch-ups (except for 1 service appointment)
Genius Invisible Wefts need to be re-tightened every 7 weeks on average

Note: the above wear times only apply with proper care of your extensions. It's truly important to use the right, suitable care products. We work with REF Stockholm, sulfate-free products specially formulated for hair extensions.

Customization

Winner: Keratin Wax

Want to fill in specific parts of your hair or work with highlights and lowlights? Then keratin wax offers the most flexibility.

Keratin Wax Extensions are placed strand by strand, meaning they can be positioned exactly where volume or length is needed. This is especially important for:

Women with very fine, thin hair
Local thinning or bald spots (not higher than 3cm above ear height)
Subtle color changes with highlights and lowlights (without having to bleach/dye your own hair)

Genius Invisible Wefts are placed per row, which means customization in terms of color and local placement is less possible.

Conclusion: Keratin Wax Extensions are the winner if you need specific adjustments.
