You’ll love Frame & Thread
We’re stylists too.
It was 2018. Our clients wanted hand-tied. When we could find a brand with wefts in stock, quality was inconsistent and shipping was unreliable. To solve these problems, we set out to create a line of ethically sourced wefts that our own clients would love.
Over two years of sourcing and testing hand-tied wefts went into Frame & Thread before we launched in 2020.
Our Slavic hair is made to a higher quality and density specification that very few suppliers can match. A team of working stylists on staff consistently tests and uses our product to make sure each batch is ready for your most demanding clients.
When we launched, we built our business around a simple standard: treat every stylist the way we would want to be treated behind the chair.
Ninety-four percent of the stylists who order from us come back. Because when you have a question, we respond. When you need hair, it is in stock. When you place an order, it ships the same day 6 days a week, always by express. And when it arrives, your clients will fall in love.
Frame & Thread exists for its partner stylists and salons. Everything about the way we operate — our sourcing standards, our staffing, our logistics — was designed to support you and your business.
Six years in. We’re still stylists, building something we’d actually want to use.

Our Hair
The most common questions we receive.
- Do you sell to the public?
- Never. We sell only to licensed and certified stylists. There’s no retail store, no “suggested price,” and no version of us quietly undercutting you to your own client. You set your pricing. You own the relationship. We stay behind the chair, where a good supplier belongs.
- Is the pricing higher because I’m not buying a full pack?
- No. We want you to have full creative control to create your own custom blends. With Frame & Thread, you can buy single hand-tied & micro wefts and small packs of k-tips and seamless tabs without paying more to break up the pack.
- Can you help me match some colors?
- We’re happy to help with color-matching. Just message us on IG.
- What is your swatch ring upgrade program?
- When you buy a swatch ring, every new color we release is free for the next two years. New swatches ship automatically with your next order — nothing to request, nothing to qualify for.
- Are you always out of inventory?
- When you have a client who wants hair, you don’t want to be told “it’s not in stock.” Our inventory runs deep — we almost never run out of anything. Yes, really.
- What is the suggested retail pricing?
- To quote some of the stylists who buy our hair, our quality is “exquisite,” “amazing,” and “some of the best I’ve seen.” Price accordingly. There is no suggested retail and never will be. Your pricing is yours, and our wholesale pricing leaves real room in every install, so the value you create ends up in your pocket, not ours.
- How much hair will I need?
- Whether it’s hand-tied, micro wefts, seamless tabs, or k-tips, here’s our guide to help you determine how much hair you will need.
- How long does the hair last?
- Hand-tied & micro wefts should last about 8–12 months with proper maintenance and after-care. K-tips are single-use. Seamless tabs can be re-tabbed up to 3 times. Darker solid colors last longer than lighter colors and balayage wefts.
- Will the wefts fade?
- Our wefts are deep-pigmented to hold color as long as possible and to fade on-tone. But they’re human hair — sun, shampoo, and heat-styling will change them the same way they change your natural hair.
- Are the wefts curly when they are wet?
-
Hair in our straight collection is not wavy or curly when wet and, if the client allows it to air-dry, it will look like air-dried straight hair. Here’s Black Magic Woman as it air-dries. And yes, that’s the office Tiki Toss — some of us are quite good.
Black Magic Woman · Air-Drying Straight - Does sunscreen discolor the wefts?
- One common sunscreen ingredient — avobenzone — reacts with the dyes used in extension color and can leave a peach-orange stain. It happens with every brand. The prevention is simple: mineral sunscreen only. We cover the full chemistry and the fixes in our color change guide.
- Can I color the wefts?
- Our hair is 100% silicone-free, cuticle-intact human remy hair so it can be colored with permanent or demi-permanent professional color. Lightening extensions is never recommended. Coloring wefts is an art. Visit our coloring guide for tips and cautions.
- Do you offer classes?
- We do offer in-salon classes on a very limited basis. Our classes are customized based on your needs. If you would like information, reach out to us on IG.
- I’m ready to order. How long will it take to get my wefts?
- If you aren’t signed up with us yet, apply for an account — we verify new accounts within a day or two, and if you have a client waiting, email us and we’ll do our best to move faster. Orders placed by 4:30pm weekdays or by 11:00am Saturday EST will always ship same-day. Here’s more information about our shipping.
