It recommened to treat a hair weave like your natural hair for it to look as natural as possible. It is recommened to wash your weave just as often as you would your naturual hair. If you wash your hair evey two weeks you would wash your weave every two week. When washing your hair it is your personal preferance to wash your braids or not.Some people prefer not to wash their braids becase this irritates the scalp and make yor hair itch. If you wash your braids you must sit underneath a sit under dryer because your braids will smell if you leave them wet.
After washing your hair you have the option of letting your hair air dry or using a blow dryer. If you use a blow dryer you could use a hand held blow dryer or a sit under blow dryer. Using a blow dryer would of cousrse speed up the process. If you plan on using any type of heating tool like curling or flat iron you must make sure you blow dry the hair completely dry.After you blow dry the extensions completely you can style as you want.
Depending on how tightly your weave was installed you may have to go over the weave and stich over the stitches previosly made when installing your weave. This will increase the longevity of the weave.
Sounds like maintaining weaves takes a lot of work. I actually prefer a little less hair maintainance.
ReplyDeleteI thought the beauty of having a weave, was to not have to worry about doing your hair has much. However, it seems like a lot is required for weave. it seems a little pointless to me.
ReplyDeleteMost people would never believe how hard it is to maintain a weave. Not only do you have to make sure it looks nice at all times, you also have to care for your natural hair under the weave. It's like pulling double duty.
