As a stylist, weaves are a very important style.
You can create any style with a weave.
They can last for a few weeks or even longer. It all depends on how you care for your weave. Weaves can help make your hair grow. I know from experience. I had gotten a haircut which was too short for me and I couldn’t get used to the look. From that moment on, I have been sticking to weaves like white on rice. J
Here are some pointers when it comes to weaves:
If this is your first time, do not be afraid of what your stylist has to offer. She/he is your stylist for a reason. TRUST THEM.
Consult with your stylist. Bring pictures. ASK QUESTIONS!!
Be very clear of the look you want and the look you want to achieve.
Decide whether you want a full weave or partial. There is a difference.
While be prepped for a weave make sure that you get a deep conditioner. This helps by adding moisture to your hair.
Make sure that your hair is secure. By secure I mean tight enough where it holds but not too tight where your hair is pulling and damaging the scalp.
Too much tension around the edges can pull your hair out and also cause thinning and balding (alopecia).
While maintaining a weave, you can still have your hair shampooed and styled.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO TAKE OUT AN WEAVE BY YOURSELF IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
ALWAYS return to your stylist when taking apart your weave.
Make sure that they shampoo your hair clean, give a deep/ hydrating conditioner (your choice) and a trim.
Weaves are costly but they are worth it. It relieves your hair from all the stress of heat and chemicals. If you stick with these routines you will see a lot of growth. I have a lot of clients who have seen growth with the outcome of sticking to weaves.

ENJOY!
