Hair tracks, also known as hair wefts, are strands of hair that are attached to a strip of fabric or lace. They are a popular option for those looking to add length or volume to their hair. Tracks are usually made from synthetic fibers, while weaves can be made from both natural and synthetic fibers. The main difference between tracks and weaves is that tracks use a row of cornrows as a base, and the weft (or extension) is sewn onto the braids, while weaves are usually attached to the hair with glue or tape.
Tracks can be used to attach clip-ins or hair extensions, and they are done with original hair and cannot be externally attached. Weaves, on the other hand, are usually made from human hair and can be removed relatively easily. Weaves offer more protection to your natural hair, while tracks can be damaging. Weaves can be styled in many different ways, while tracks are usually just worn straight, and weaves can be colored and highlighted, while tracks are usually just one color.
In summary, tracks are a type of hair extension that involves braiding an individuals natural hair and sewing the hair weft horizontally across the head from one side to the other. They are usually made from synthetic fibers and can be damaging to natural hair.
