What Is A Quick Weave? How To Install A Quick Weave Step By Step?

What is actually a quick weave?

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.

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.
