Hair Weaves FAQs
A hair weave is a hair extension method where additional hair is sewn or bonded onto your existing hair to add length, volume, or a specific style. It's installed by braiding or cornrowing your natural hair, then attaching hair extensions to the braids using thread or adhesive.
Hair weaves can be made from synthetic or human hair. Human hair weaves are generally considered the best quality, as they look more natural and can be styled like real hair. When choosing your hair weave, go for textures, colors, and length that match your natural hair. Choose a high quality hair weave, like Remy or virgin hair, for better longevity and styling versatility.
The lifespan of your hair weave depends on the quality of the hair, how it was installed, and how well it's maintained. Generally a hair weave can last anywhere from 6 weeks to several months, but it's typically recommended to keep your hair weave for no longer than 3 months. To maintain your hair weave wash your hair regularly, condition it using sulfate-free products, and protect your hair when sleeping with a satin or silk bonnet.
Hair weaves are generally safe when installed and maintained properly. But poor installation techniques, like excessive tension or tight braiding, can lead to discomfort, headaches, or even hair breakage. Make sure to have your weave installed by a qualified stylist to minimize these risks. If the weave is not properly cared for or if the underlying hair and scalp are not kept clean, it can lead to issues such as scalp irritation, dandruff, or fungal infections, so be sure to follow proper maintenance and hygiene practices.
It's recommended you have clean and dry hair before getting hair weave installed. Avoid using any heavy styling products or oils that can make the hair slippery and affect the weave's durability. If your hair is tangled, detangle it gently to ensure a smooth installation process. Let your stylist know your desired hairstyle, hair length, and texture beforehand, so they can prepare the weave and make necessary adjustments during the installation.
Yes, you can style and care for your hair weave like you would with natural hair. You can curl, straighten, or style it using heat tools, as long as you use heat protectant products and avoid excessive heat that can damage the hair. Be gentle when you detangle or brush your hair to avoid any unnecessary pulling or breakage. Follow a regular haircare routine that includes washing, conditioning, and moisturizing the weave to keep it looking and feeling healthy. Using products specifically designed for extensions or weaves can help maintain your hair weave's longevity and appearance.
