Do you have an idea of purchasing a new sew-in quick weave? Learning about the advantages and disadvantages of quick weave will be very useful for you.
A quick weave is a full-head weaving technique where tracks are glued to a wave or skull cap. The entire style is done on a foundation that's easily applied to and removed from the head. It's basically a custom-made wig.
With quick weave, you can create any look with any type of hair extension. It can be long or short, curly or straight, all one color or filled with highlights. There are some advantages and drawbacks of quick weave that you need to know.
Let your imagination runs wild! If you want a style with your hairline showing, this isn't the best weaving option for you. Look into sew-in weaves and regular bonded tracks.
There are numerous advantages in deciding to wear quick weave that make them appealing. Here are five reasons why you should to consider.
A quick weave is a great alternative to
the traditional sew-in because
it is cheaper and faster. This weaving
technique can be completed in about 1.5 hours, much faster than sewing-in.
Besides, quick weave method also causes less tension on your natural hair as
well as your scalp. Do you know why? For sew-in weaving, your hair will be
cornrowed and the hair extensions are directly threaded in to these cornrows.
This can lead to some pain and damages to both your hair and scalp, as well as
a heavy tension on them. Meanwhile, quick weave uses
bonding method to keep the hair extensions, instead of directly sewing them
into your hair.
The wefts are attached into the cap
instead of your natural hair, which makes it easier for you to remove and
replace the hair extensions. For this convenience, this method is loved by more
and more women nowadays.
Lastly, a quick weave is low maintenance. All you need to do is use a daily nighttime wrapping method. You don’t need to put much thought into or worry about how maintain a quick weave.
The quick weave is not without its critics. This hair installation process has a bad reputation for triggering a few unwanted side effects. Of course, as with anything, poor results sometimes has a lot to do with human actions and errors.
Let’s take a closer look at four cons of wearing a quick weave.
The first con of wearing a quick weave is the risk that it can be damaging to your hairline, scalp, and hair. This damage often occurs when adhesive or hair glue comes into contact with your natural hair or hairline during the installation process.
Unfortunately, the contact between your hair, scalp, and adhesive is not always so evident until it is time to remove the quick weave. Ideally, you want to avoid allowing any glue to come into contact with your hairline or hair, which means ensuring you are wearing the correct form of a quick weave cap.
Another trigger of hair loss or damage may occur if they are too tight or create tension on your scalp or hairline.
The quick weave has a shorter lifespan than the traditional sew-in. Therefore, if you are expecting to enjoy lengthy wear out of this product, you may have to reconsider. Most quick weaves last for one month. With proper care, you can rock a sew-in weave for upwards of two months. This information is also essential if you are looking to invest in more expensive hair for your quick weave. It may be more reasonable to sit for the sew-in rather than a quick weave.
Products used to seal the hair can also damage it, ruining your investment. Hair extensions much like your hair, are susceptible to collecting adhesives on the strands, which can later contribute to clumping and poor quality.
The hair wefts of your hair extensions have an increased risk for shedding due to the amount of cutting you or your stylist may have to perform to achieve the style.
In conclusion, a quick weave will allow you to create many beautiful hairstyles with weaves and promises to change your look positively. With a quick weave, you can freely change your figures with different types of hair extensions, from long to short, straight or curly, mixed with a color, or even highlights.
