Knowing Your Extensions

The first step to getting a weave is selecting what type of extensions you want.There is processed extensions and virgin extensions to choose from when getting a hair weave.
Processed Hair
*This hair can be purchased at your local beauty supply
*Hair is stripped of cuticles and replaced with silicone
*Hair tends to tangle when silicone washes away
* Hair is already colored
*Hair looks shinny

Virgin Hair
*Hair is purchased from websites advertising virgin hair or local vendors in your area
*The hair cuticles are aligned in one direction and is not replaced with silicone
*Hair doesn't tangle due to silicone washing away
*Hair has not been colored, permed or processed in anyway
*Hair has not been blow-dried or exposed to harsh agents

Advantages of A Hair Weave

There was a time when only celebrities wore  hair weaves or could afford to wear one. During this time if you wore hair that did not actually grow out your head this was considered a hush-hush affair. Not any more! The general population is now starting to see the advantages of a hair weave. There are four main reasons why hair weave is so popular now. Hair weaves are low maintenance. This is perfect for those who have a busy schedule and do not have time to constantly style their hair. A hair weave is also a protective hair style. Your hair is actually braided and tracks are sewed to the braids. This allows the tracks tracks to to take on the wear-and-tear of styling practices. Weaves are designed to be worn for a short period of time (approximately 3 months) . This allows you to have low commitment options. You can get any hairstyle you want without the full commitment of change. Lastly, weaves allow you to experiment. You want a new color? you can have it without putting harsh coloring in your hair. You want to try a short cut or bob without cutting your hair? You can experiment with all of these without actually experimenting on your natural hair. I hope you have learned the advantages of a weave. I also hoped this had changed the view the view that only people with short hair wear weaves. Hope you this post will influence you to try out a weave :))))))))))))))
