22 Inch True Copper Hair Weft Extensions Makeover | Shade #33
Few extension colours make a statement quite like a true copper shade.
This transformation by @i_cant_beweave_it uses 22 inch HairX Hair Weft extensions in #33 True Copper to create a bold warm finish with substantial added length and density.
The current #33 HairX Weft is approximately 56cm long, 130g in weight and supplied as one continuous double-wefted piece measuring approximately 55–60 inches across before professional customisation.
Rather than treating every red or auburn extension shade as interchangeable, this guide also looks at what makes #33 True Copper different from #30 Deep Auburn, #27 Strawberry Blonde and #99J Red Wine.

What Hair Extensions Were Used in This Makeover?
This makeover uses the #33 True Copper 22 Inch HairX Remy Hair Weft.
It is supplied as one continuous Hair Weft rather than individual strands or separate Tape-In panels.
Who Created This True Copper Transformation?
The finished look was created by @i_cant_beweave_it.
What Colour Is #33 True Copper?
#33 True Copper is a vivid warm copper shade with a noticeable orange-red character.
It is designed for clients looking for a clearly copper result rather than a deeper auburn or burgundy-red shade.
Is #33 True Copper the Same as Auburn?
No.
#33 True Copper is brighter and more orange-red than #30 Deep Auburn.
#30 has a deeper, more brown-based auburn appearance, while #33 produces a stronger true-copper finish.
How Does #33 True Copper Compare with #27 Strawberry Blonde?
#27 Strawberry Blonde is lighter and more blonde-based, with softer golden and copper-red tones.
#33 True Copper has noticeably stronger copper and red intensity.
How Does #33 True Copper Compare with #99J Red Wine?
#99J Red Wine is considerably deeper and more burgundy-based.
#33 True Copper is much brighter, warmer and more orange-red.
Who Might Prefer #33 True Copper?
#33 can be worth comparing where:
- #27 Strawberry Blonde looks too light
- #30 Deep Auburn looks too brown-based
- #99J Red Wine looks too deep or burgundy
- A stronger warm copper result is wanted
Should Copper Extensions Match the Roots?
Not necessarily.
The mid-lengths and ends are often more important because these are the areas that visually overlap most with the extension hair.
Why Should Copper Shades Be Checked in Daylight?
Copper hair can look very different under warm salon lighting, cool LEDs and natural daylight.
Comparing the extension shade against the natural mid-lengths and ends in good daylight can make warm, red and orange undertones easier to judge.
Can #33 True Copper Be Mixed with Other Shades?
Potentially.
Where the natural hair is multi-tonal, a professional may choose to combine compatible shades rather than relying on one flat colour.
Can True Copper Be Mixed with Deep Auburn?
Yes, where appropriate.
Combining #33 True Copper with #30 Deep Auburn can introduce deeper brown-red areas alongside the brighter copper tone.
Can True Copper Be Mixed with Strawberry Blonde?
Potentially.
#27 Strawberry Blonde can introduce a lighter golden-copper dimension where the natural hair contains brighter or softer sections.
Can True Copper Be Mixed with Red Wine?
Potentially, although the colour contrast will be stronger.
#99J Red Wine adds a much deeper burgundy tone compared with the brighter orange-red character of #33.
How Long Is a 22 Inch Hair Weft?
22 inches is approximately 56cm.
The exact point the hair reaches on the wearer depends on height, torso length, natural-hair length and where the Weft is positioned.
Is 22 Inches the Longest Standard HairX Weft Length?
Yes.
22 inches is currently the longest standard length within the main HairX Hair Weft range.
How Much Hair Is in the 22 Inch Weft?
The current 22 inch #33 Hair Weft contains approximately 130g of extension hair.
Does 130g Mean Every Client Should Wear the Full Weft?
No.
130g describes the approximate amount of hair supplied in the product, not a universal fitting recommendation.
The amount used should be appropriate for the natural hair, fitting method and desired result.
How Wide Is the Hair Weft?
The current Weft measures approximately 55–60 inches across before it is professionally customised.
What Does One Continuous Weft Mean?
The extension hair is supplied as one long continuous track rather than several pre-cut pieces.
The professional can measure and divide it into sections where required for the chosen installation.
What Does Double-Wefted Mean?
Double-wefted refers to the construction of the extension track.
The HairX Weft uses a double-layered structure to provide substantial hair density within the continuous piece.
Is Double-Wefted the Same as Two Separate Wefts?
No.
The product is supplied as one continuous Hair Weft with double-wefted construction.
What Is Cuticle Correct Hair?
Cuticle Correct construction means the hair strands are arranged with the cuticles running in the same direction.
What Type of Hair Is Used?
The current #33 22 inch Weft is made from Chinese Remy human hair.
Can Human Hair Wefts Be Heat Styled?
Yes, compatible human hair extension lengths can generally be straightened, curled or waved using suitable heat protection and controlled temperatures.
Does Human Hair Mean Unlimited Heat Is Safe?
No.
Repeated excessive heat can still contribute to dryness and wear.
Why Choose a 22 Inch Hair Weft?
22 inches is suited to customers wanting a distinctly longer result.
It can add substantial length while the 130g supplied Weft also provides plenty of extension hair for professional customisation.
How Does 22 Inches Compare with 20 Inches?
20 inches is approximately 51cm, while 22 inches is approximately 56cm.
The difference is around 5cm, although how noticeable it appears depends on the wearer.
Does 22 Inch Hair Require More Aftercare?
Longer hair generally requires more time for brushing, washing, drying and detangling simply because there is more hair to manage.
Can 22 Inch Wefts Add Volume as Well as Length?
Yes.
The extension hair can increase overall density as well as length, depending on how much is professionally fitted.
Can a Hair Weft Be Used Mainly for Volume?
Yes.
The entire goal does not have to be maximum length. A professional can customise the amount and placement according to the required result.
What Is a Hair Weft?
A Hair Weft is a continuous curtain of extension hair joined together along an upper track.
Unlike Nano-Tips or Nail-Tips, the hair is not supplied as individual extension strands.
How Is a Hair Weft Different from Nano Tips?
Nano Tips are individual strands fitted one at a time using compatible Nano Rings.
A Hair Weft provides a continuous section of extension hair that is divided and fitted in rows or sections according to the chosen professional method.
How Is a Hair Weft Different from Tape-Ins?
Tape-In extensions use separate adhesive panels.
A Hair Weft uses a sewn track that can be incorporated using suitable Weft-fitting techniques.
How Is a Hair Weft Different from Clip-Ins?
A professionally fitted Hair Weft can remain attached between maintenance appointments.
Clip-In sets are removable and are normally taken out after wear.
How Can Hair Wefts Be Fitted?
Hair Wefts can be used with different fitting techniques depending on the natural hair, desired result and professional method.
Can Hair Wefts Be Fitted as an LA Weave?
Yes.
LA Weave-style installation is one professional approach involving a supporting bead row with the Weft secured to it using suitable thread and technique.
Does This Weft Have to Be Installed as an LA Weave?
No.
The continuous Weft can be adapted for different compatible professional installation methods.
Can Hair Wefts Be Sewn In?
Yes, where suitable for the client and professional method.
Can Hair Wefts Be Used with Beads?
Yes.
Selected Weft methods use compatible rings or beads as part of the supporting structure.
Can Hair Wefts Be Glued In?
Compatible professional adhesive methods can be used with suitable Wefts, but they require appropriate products, technique and removal.
Can This Weft Be Converted into Clip-In Sections?
Potentially.
The continuous track can be professionally customised for removable use where the appropriate clips and finishing techniques are used.
Why Is Professional Fitting Recommended?
A professional needs to assess:
- Natural-hair density
- Natural-hair strength
- Total extension weight
- Row placement
- Hairline clearance
- Weft coverage
- Comfort
- Planned hairstyles
Can the Full 130g Be Too Much for Some Clients?
Potentially.
The amount of extension hair should be chosen according to what the natural hair can appropriately support rather than automatically fitting the full supplied weight.
Why Does Natural-Hair Density Matter?
The natural hair needs enough strength to support the chosen extension weight and enough coverage to conceal the fitted rows.
Are Hair Wefts Suitable for Fine Hair?
Potentially in selected cases, but not automatically.
Lower-density hair requires especially careful assessment of total weight, row position and coverage.
Are Hair Wefts Suitable for Thick Hair?
Yes, potentially.
Thicker natural hair can require enough extension density to avoid the added lengths looking too thin compared with the natural hair.
Can a 22 Inch Weft Be Fitted to Short Hair?
Potentially.
The larger difference between short natural hair and 22 inch extensions makes professional blending particularly important.
Can a 22 Inch Weft Blend with a Bob?
Potentially, but blunt natural ends can be challenging to disguise.
Professional shaping and sufficient extension density may be required.
Why Is Blending Important?
The natural haircut should transition into the extension lengths rather than sitting visibly as a separate shorter layer.
Can the Weft Be Cut into Smaller Sections?
Yes.
The current continuous 55–60 inch Weft can be divided into smaller pieces where required for the chosen fitting layout.
Should the Weft Be Cut Before Checking the Colour?
No.
Check the colour, length and suitability carefully before any irreversible modification.
Why Is That Important?
Cut, fitted or otherwise altered Hair Wefts cannot be returned as a normal change-of-mind return.
What Is Weft Sealer?
Weft sealer is a product designed for use on freshly cut Weft edges.
It can help secure and finish the modified edge before professional fitting.
Should Weft Sealer Be Used After Cutting?
Where the continuous track is cut, using a suitable Weft sealer according to its instructions can help protect the cut edge.
Can Cutting a Weft Increase Shedding?
Potentially.
Cutting interrupts the original track construction, so the newly cut edge should be handled and finished appropriately.
Can a Weft Shed Hair Without Being Cut?
Some individual hair shedding can occur through normal handling and wear, but excessive or sudden shedding should be assessed separately.
Can True Copper Wefts Be Straightened?
Yes.
Use suitable heat protection and avoid applying direct heat onto the fitted track or attachment components.
Can True Copper Wefts Be Curled?
Yes.
Curls can create extra movement and make the copper tones catch light differently through the lengths.
Can True Copper Wefts Be Waved?
Yes.
Soft waves can show the red and orange dimensions of a copper shade particularly well.
Can Straighteners Touch the Weft Track?
No.
Keep heated styling tools away from the sewn track and fitted attachment areas.
Should Heat Protection Be Used?
Yes.
Use suitable thermal protection before significant heat styling.
Does Heat Protection Make Extensions Heatproof?
No.
Use controlled temperatures and avoid unnecessary repeated high heat.
Can Heat Change Copper Extension Colour?
Repeated heat can contribute to gradual colour and condition changes over time.
Can True Copper Extensions Fade?
Yes.
Processed extension colour can gradually change through washing, heat, UV exposure, swimming and general wear.
Can Sunlight Affect True Copper Hair?
Yes.
Repeated UV exposure can contribute to dryness and colour change.
Can Chlorine Affect Copper Extensions?
Yes.
Pool chemicals can affect both extension condition and colour.
Can Salt Water Affect Copper Wefts?
Repeated sea-water exposure can contribute to dryness, tangling and colour change.
Can Hard Water Affect True Copper Hair?
Yes.
Mineral build-up can affect softness, manageability and colour tone.
Can Copper Extensions Become Duller Over Time?
Yes.
Product build-up, mineral deposits, heat and environmental exposure can all affect how vibrant the colour appears.
Can True Copper Extensions Be Dyed?
Further colouring carries risk because extension hair has already undergone processing.
Choosing the closest available shade before fitting is preferable.
Can #33 True Copper Be Bleached?
Further bleaching or lightening is generally best avoided unless the specific product is designed and approved for additional chemical processing.
Can True Copper Extensions Be Toned?
Colour-depositing products can alter processed extension hair unpredictably and may take unevenly.
Can Purple Shampoo Be Used on Copper Extensions?
Purple shampoo is designed to alter yellow-toned blonde hair and can change warm copper shades in unwanted ways.
It should not be used simply as a general extension shampoo.
Can Blue Shampoo Be Used on Copper Hair?
Blue pigment can neutralise orange tones, which could reduce the very copper character that #33 is chosen for.
Use colour-depositing products only where a specific tonal change is intended and appropriate.
How Should a Copper Hair Weft Be Washed?
- Gently detangle before washing.
- Wet the hair thoroughly.
- Apply suitable shampoo to the scalp and hair.
- Clean carefully around fitted rows.
- Avoid aggressively rubbing the Weft lengths together.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Apply conditioner mainly through the mid-lengths and ends.
- Rinse again.
- Gently remove excess water.
- Dry the roots, natural hair beneath the Weft and fitted rows thoroughly.
Can Conditioner Be Used on a Hair Weft?
Yes.
Apply suitable conditioner mainly through the mid-lengths and ends rather than repeatedly saturating fitted attachment areas.
Can Hair Masks Be Used?
Yes, where suitable for human hair extensions.
Use richer treatments mainly through the extension lengths.
Can Hair Oil Be Used on Copper Wefts?
Yes, sparingly through suitable mid-lengths and ends.
Avoid unnecessarily coating the fitted row or attachment components.
How Should a Hair Weft Be Brushed?
Start at the ends and gradually work upwards.
Support the extension hair close to the fitted row to reduce unnecessary pulling.
Should You Brush Directly Across the Weft Track?
Avoid repeatedly dragging a brush aggressively across the sewn track or attachment row.
Can Hair Wefts Tangle?
Yes.
Human hair extensions can tangle through friction, movement, washing, styling and insufficient detangling.
Can Hair Wefts Matt Around the Rows?
Yes.
Naturally shed hair and friction can contribute to tangling around fitted areas if the roots are not maintained properly.
Can a Hair Weft Be Blow-Dried?
Yes.
Use controlled heat and make sure the natural hair, roots, Weft track and attachment areas are thoroughly dry.
Can a Hair Weft Air-Dry?
The free lengths may partly air-dry, but fitted root and attachment areas should not repeatedly remain damp for prolonged periods.
Can You Sleep with a Wet Hair Weft?
No.
Wet or damp fitted extensions are more likely to tangle and matt during sleep.
How Should 22 Inch Wefts Be Worn at Night?
Once completely dry, gently brush the hair and loosely secure the longer lengths where appropriate.
A loose braid or low ponytail can help control long hair overnight.
Can You Exercise with Hair Wefts?
Yes.
If the scalp and fitted rows become damp with perspiration, dry them properly afterwards.
Can You Swim with a Hair Weft?
Fitted Wefts can remain attached, but chlorine, salt water and repeated soaking can affect hair condition, colour and the fitted attachment area.
What Should You Do After Swimming?
Rinse the hair with fresh water as soon as practical, gently detangle and dry the fitted rows thoroughly.
Can Sunscreen Affect Copper Extensions?
Some sunscreen products can transfer onto longer extension hair, particularly where the hair rests against the neck, shoulders or back.
Can Fake Tan Affect Copper Extensions?
Yes.
Fresh tanning products can transfer onto extension hair and alter the visible tone.
Why Is Colour Care Important with #33 True Copper?
The vivid warm copper character is a major part of the finished result.
Any fading, staining or tonal change may therefore be more noticeable than on some darker natural shades.
How Often Does a Hair Weft Need Maintenance?
There is no universal interval that suits every client or fitting method.
Maintenance timing depends on:
- Natural-hair growth
- Fitting method
- Row movement
- Root tangling
- Extension condition
- Natural-hair condition
- Professional advice
What Happens During Hair Weft Maintenance?
The exact process depends on the fitting method.
A professional may remove or reposition the fitted row, release naturally shed hair, inspect the natural hair and assess whether the extension hair is suitable for refitting.
Why Is Loose Hair Seen During Maintenance?
Natural hair continues its normal shedding cycle while extensions are fitted.
Some shed hairs can remain held around the attachment until maintenance.
Does Shed Hair Automatically Mean Damage?
No.
Naturally shed full-length hairs are different from visible breakage or loss of natural-hair density.
Can Hair Wefts Be Reused?
Potentially.
If the extension hair and Weft track remain in suitable condition, the professional can assess whether the hair can be refitted.
Does Refitting Make the Weft New Again?
No.
Refitting changes the installation but does not reverse previous washing, heat, UV, colour or styling wear.
How Is a Hair Weft Removed?
Removal depends on the professional fitting method used.
The attachment should be fully released before the Weft is separated from the natural hair.
Should Hair Wefts Be Removed at Home?
Professional removal is recommended for semi-permanent Weft installations.
Why Is Correct Removal Important?
Cutting, pulling or dragging against fitted attachment areas can create unnecessary mechanical stress on the natural hair.
How Long Do Hair Weft Extensions Last?
There is no guaranteed lifespan that applies to every wearer.
Extension condition depends on fitting, maintenance, washing, brushing, heat styling, swimming, environmental exposure and the products used.
When Should a Hair Weft Be Replaced?
Replacement may be appropriate when the extension hair becomes:
- Severely dry
- Persistently tangled
- Very thin through the ends
- Heavily heat damaged
- Significantly faded or discoloured
- Damaged along the Weft track
Can the Weft Track Wear Out?
Yes.
Repeated cutting, fitting, stitching, brushing and general handling can gradually affect the construction.
What Should Be Checked Before Refitting?
A professional should inspect:
- The Weft track
- Any previously cut edges
- Overall hair condition
- End density
- Colour condition
- Dryness
- Tangling

Final Thoughts
This makeover is strongest when it focuses on what makes it distinctive: 22 inch #33 True Copper Hair Weft extensions professionally fitted by @i_cant_beweave_it.
The current HairX #33 Weft is approximately 56cm long, 130g in weight and supplied as one continuous double-wefted piece measuring approximately 55–60 inches across. That gives the professional plenty of extension hair to customise around the selected installation method and desired result.
The colour is equally important. #33 True Copper is distinctly brighter and more orange-red than #30 Deep Auburn, stronger in copper intensity than #27 Strawberry Blonde and much warmer and brighter than #99J Red Wine.
Choosing the right copper shade should therefore involve more than simply selecting “red hair extensions”. Comparing the extension against the natural mid-lengths and ends in good daylight can help determine whether True Copper is genuinely the best match.
Because 22 inches is the longest standard HairX Weft length, blending, total extension weight and natural-hair suitability all need careful consideration. The full 130g supplied with the product should not automatically be treated as the correct amount for every client.
Once fitted, careful washing, thorough drying, gentle brushing and controlled heat styling all help maintain the extension hair. Copper shades also benefit from sensible care around UV exposure, chlorine, hard water and colour-depositing products because these can gradually affect the visible tone.
With suitable natural hair, accurate colour matching, professional customisation and consistent aftercare, #33 True Copper can create a bold, warm 22 inch Weft transformation with a very clear identity of its own.
