Hair Weaving

A woman's clothing, attitude, and presence are all ways that she can define her personality. Hair weaving is a very popular way of allowing women to express themselves through their hairstyles. Weaves are often called 'hair integration' or 'extensions'.

If you're afraid of weaves, it's important to keep in mind that the styles have changed a lot since the 'awful' weaves of the 60s. These weaves never properly blended with the natural hair and always looked fake. With today's modern hair-weaving techniques, short styles like pixie cuts, bobs, and other chin-length styles look even better!

If you're considering getting a hair weave, there are many different factors to consider. First of all, you will need to choose a type of extension hair to add to your existing hair. Extension hair comes in two basic types: human hair and synthetic hair. Human hair is recommended for most styles because it's versatile, easy to style with heated styling tools, and gives a desirable 'natural' look. Synthetic hair is less expensive than human hair, and often you can find good-quality synthetic hair that can be styled with heated styling tools. The choice is yours.

There are also three basic types of attachment methods: sewn-in, bonded, and fusion. The sewn-in method is favored because the process does not use any glues or chemicals, making it the healthiest choice for your hair. The bonded method uses bond adhesive to attach the hair, and the fusion method uses melted adhesive.

If you're considering getting any type of hair weave, here are some things you should remember:

1. Always visit your stylist bi-weekly to ensure your hair and scalp are being properly maintained.

2. A hair weave needs tightening or reattaching throughout its lifetime. This is because a weave is blended with your natural hair, and natural hair grows. Make sure to check with your stylist for specific instructions on caring for your new hair weave.

3. Wait at least two weeks before washing your hair after you get a hair weave. This will give the weave ample time to set.

4. A cotton pillowcase may adversely affect the shine of your hair weave. Try using a satin pillowcase while your weave is in.

Weaves can be a handful, and it's very important to take care of them. But it's also important that you don't neglect the condition of your scalp while your weave is in place. Build-up on the scalp can lead to skin irritation, so you must shampoo and moisturize regularly. If your hair becomes dry, use a crme- based moisturizer. Check with your stylist to find out what they recommend for your particular type of weave. For example, bonded weaves cannot be washed and conditioned.

A stylist will charge you depending on the length of your extension hair, the attachment method, and the type of hair used. The price for hair weaving services may range from $200 to $1,500.

With the proper care and maintenance, your weave can give you anywhere from six to eight weeks of beautiful hair.
