Let’s face it. Increase a lifespan of our weave hair is always our first concern. Have you ever thought why your weave hair does not last long enough? If the answer is yes then you possibly are not taking care of it in the right way. You must have thought about how you can inscrease the lifespan of your weave hair. In this article, we will have time to discussing about some tips to make our hair weave become more and more shiny and looks great.
Step 1: Avoid Cutting Your Weave hair
Avoiding weaving your hair is essential, because this will keep your hair in its original thickness. Instead of cutting your hair that can cause more shedding hair in the future, try to use the flip over method. This will keep your tracks in one piece and a lot of spacing and shedding of the hair will be avoided. When installing the weave on your braids when you come to the end of a section you flip your track over and start to sew on the next braid.
Step 2: Wash Your Weave Hair After Your Purchase
After purchasing your new weave hair
extensions, of course you will want to use your hair weave immediately, anyway,
we think that this would be perfect if you wash it before using it. Be sure to
wash your weave hair with cool water from root to tip, without scrubbing them
or using a circular motion. Rinse, and add your conditioner and detangle with a
wide-tooth comb, and rinse thoroughly. Pat dry and allow your bundles to air
dry completely. Doing so will remove chemicals that are used to manufacture the
weave and the dirt from the packaging.
Step 3: Brush And Detangling Regularly
Make
sure you are brushing and detangling your extensions on a regular basis,
especially if you have extensions that are shoulder length or longer. When
brushing be sure to brush from tip to root, avoiding snags, and gently
detangling your hair. Do not rush or roughly brush your extensions, because
this will induce shedding.
Wide-tooth
combs and detangling brushes are suggested and are most successfully used. Do: Brush
them prior to washing and sleeping. Remove tangles gently, avoiding pulling and
tugging. Do Not: Brush your extensions while wet, due to hair being it's
weakest.
Step 4: Air Dry Your Weave hair
Air
drying your extensions are best to double the lifespan of your extensions. By
doing so, you avoid unnecessary heat. Gently pat the hair dry and allow the
rest to happen in due time.
Step 5: Deep Condition Your Weave hair
The
best way to maintain the moisture and luster of your weave is by making sure
they are properly conditioned. If you opt to use heating tools frequently, be
sure to deep condition your hair weave once monthly. If you've colored or
bleached your extensions, deep condition your weave twice monthly.
Before
you get a sew-in, make sure to deep condition the weave. Begin by washing it in
warm water. Apply a deep conditioner to the weave from roots to ends. And then
place the hair inside a plastic cap or bag. After 10-20 minutes, rinse off any
excess conditioner and air dry. Be sure to deep condition your weave every week
or two. It will keep that just-got-my-hair-done look lasting a long, long time.
To
deep condition sewn-in weave, you again want to wash the weave and braids with
warm water. If there is product build-up on the braids, use a clarifying
shampoo. Apply the deep conditioner and place a plastic cap over your head with
all the weave inside. If you have a hooded dryer, use that otherwise, the body
heat trapped by the plastic cap will be sufficient. Rinse and air dry. Be sure
to deep condition your weave every week or two. It will keep that
just-got-my-hair-done look lasting a long, long time.
Step 6: Choose Extensions That Fit Your Lifestyle
Choose
a length, color, and texture that is not a hindrance to your daily life. Be
sure to purchase something that is discomforting, distracting, and tangles
easily will only make you want to remove the hair and not wear it anymore,
which ultimately shortens the lifespan of your weave hair extension. The best
thing you could do to double the lifespan of your weave is to treat them as if
it was your real hair. Always remember, if I won't do it my real hair, I will not
do it to my hair weave. With a little extra TLC, you can be sure your weave
hair extensions last longer then you could imagine.
Step 7: Reduce Washing Your Weave hair
Since
your weave hair is not attached to your scalp, you do not need to wash them as
you would your real hair. Wash your weave hair on an as-needed basis. Washing
your weave too often causes them to become dull and dry due to all of the
stripping of oils. Try co-washing if possible or a 'water-wash', if the shampoo
is pivotal, make sure you are using a sulfate-free shampoo.
Step 9: Do Not Use A Lot Of Products
It
is true that using lots of chemical products can harm your hair’s longevity. Using
too much hair product can make our weave hair dry and loose its vitality. Therefore,
avoid to use a lot of products can make our weave hair last longer.
After
all, we can ensure that by following these steps above, the durability of your
weave hair will be lengthened. Try some of these steps above, or all of them,
the result will make you feel great.
