Quick weaves have become a growing trend to attain glamorous hair in a short amount of time. It's commonly known as the cheaper, faster option to the sew-in weave. If you want to know more about the quick weave, just keep on reading, we will show you everything you need to know.
A quick weave is a weaving method where hair wefts are glued directly to a
protective weave cap placed on your head before bonding. This style can be done
at home or by a professional stylist.
Similar
to a sew-in weave, hair is braided down in cornrows or plaits. A hardening gel
can also be used to hold down the hair, instead of braiding it. The protective
cap is placed over the hair, providing coverage from the glue, and hair
extensions are then cut and glued to the cap. Once placed on the protective
cap, each weft needs to be blow-dried or air-dried to ensure a successful
application. Wefts are attached until the desired look is complete.
Requirements:
1.A single pack of weft extensions, preferably real human hair, just like Brazilian human hair (also known as virgin hair)
2.Hair
scissors and ties
3.A
flat iron and a blow dryer
4.A towel, some bonding glue, a comb, brush and a wave cap at hand.
Step-By-Step:
After
preparing all the tools, we can begin to do a quick weave step by step in the
right way:
1.You
need to brushing hair extensions first slightly. But the prerequisite is to
choose the best hair extensions that match the texture of your natural hair. It
is also a good idea to apply a setting solution to your natural hair so that
hair stays in place during the entire process. Finally, create a part of your
hair that forms the rectangle-your wefts will all be installed below the part
you just created.
2.Now
it's time to get your weft ready for installation. Form a u-shape with the weft
and cut it according to the part in your hair that you created in the first
step. Apply some binding glue and use a blow dryer to soften the glue.
3.Apply
the weft hair to your natural hair in such a way that the glue faces towards
your own hair. Remember that you don't want to apply the hair directly to your
scalp.
4.Wait
for the glue to dry then tug the hair to ensure it has properly attached to
your own hair. Now repeat this process until all of the weft hair has been
applied.
5.Finally, comb through your hair to blend the weft hair with your natural hair.
A typical install of a quick weave is $100 and when you include the cost of the hair (~$60), the whole look is achieved for $160.
Quick weaves may not last as long as sew-in weaves because the bonding glue may begin to wear out naturally. If done properly, a quick weave can last up to 4 weeks before it becomes necessary to remove. Even though quick weaves are fast and easy to install, the style is not healthy for natural hair.
Can
u wash a quick weave?
Yes,you can.The adhesive used to bond a glued-in hair weave is not water-soluble and is perfectly safe to wash. A well-cared for glued-in weave will last roughly one to two months before the glue begins to loosen. During that time, you will have to wash your hair regularly to prevent salt, dirt, and mold from accumulating. It is highly suggested that you should wash your quick weave if you don’t want the glue to be loosened or accumulated with the mold, dirt or salt.
How many bundles do you need for a quick weave?
Usually, you can get three bundles with closure or frontal for your primary sew in, that's typically the magic number for your average sew in. With three bundles anywhere from 8 inches to 18 inches, your weave will be full, flowy, and glamorous.Quick weave with lace closure is very popular in the market.
It is important to be careful when swimming with a hair weave, especially if glue has been used to help hold your extensions. Chlorine and other chemicals in the water--as well as salt from the ocean--can break down the glue and build up in the braids. This is not healthy for your hair and it can loosen your weave.
Most
hairstylists suggest opting for the sew-in weave because it can be healthier
and look more natural for your hair. Of course, braids need to be done
properly. "A quick weave is great for when you want to change your
hairstyles within a short period of time, or you're unable to braid your hair.
There
are 2 kinds of hair used to make quick weave namely human hair and synthetic
hair. A quick weave made from human hair looks more natural and realistic but
more expensive than synthetic hair. Besides, it also needs more careful caring.
The origins of human hair will decide on its quality. Undoubtedly, healthy hair
must be better than unhealthy hair because weak hair can make dry and brittle
extensions. The human hair is also considered the best hair for quick weave
bob.
