WEAVES, WEAVES, & MORE WEAVES!

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.
