Straightening Curly Hair Weave

To straightening curly hair weave you will need either a straightening comb and/or a flat iron. First, of course, wash the weave hair and condition. Blow dry the hair weave as straight as possible without disturbing the weft. If you have a dome hair dryer, dry your roots by sitting under that.

Once your hair is completely dry (make certain it is completely dry, because if you don't your hair will appear "puffy"), apply a small amount of a very light hair maintenance product. Then begin using your straightening comb and/or flat iron to straighten the curly hair weave.

Coloring Weave Hair

Weave hair CAN be colored if it is human hair. Synthetic weave hair can not be colored. This is why it is important to choose weaving hair that best matches your hair color. Although human hair weave can be colored, this is not an easy process.

Lightening hair weave
To lighten a hair weave color, you will need a color booster and bleach. We prefer Miss Clariol's hair bleaching agent. Mix the hair color, 40 volume developer, and bleaching agent carefully. Place the hair weave in tin foil and apply the mixed color. The colorizing will have been successfully completed anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes depending upon the color. When you have achieved the color you want, wash the weaving hair THROUGHLY. And, condition it. Yes, you can and should condition weaving hair. Allow the a hair to air dry overnight. Then it is ready for use.

Darkening hair weave
To darken hair weave you will simply need a 20 volume developer and hair color. Mix these two together. Then apply to weave hair. I have found it best to apply dark colors to weave hair in a plastic bag. Allow the color to set until anticipated results are achieved. Most of the time, hair weave colors very quickly when you are attempting to darken it. Follow the steps above for washing, conditioning and drying hair weave after coloring.

Classic Weave Hair Styles of Janet Jackson

To achieve the "Bun ponytail" hair weave similar to Janet Jackson's, start with clean weave hair. Pull your own hair back into a ponytail and secure it with a rubber band. Take the weaving hair and put a bobby pin into the weft at the end of the weft of the weaving hair. The secure the bobby pin under the rubber band on your head. Continue to wrap the weaving hair around the rubber band on your head, securing every few wraps with a bobby pin. Once your final weft is secured, split the weaving hair in four parts. Take one of the parts and wrap it around the base of the pony tail. Continue that with all of the four parts, securing in place with bobby pins.

Hair Weave Maintenance

Hair Weave Maintenance



One of the first questions patrons ask me after receiving a full head weave it: "how to I maintain my weave". The answer to this question will astound you...you maintain your weave the same way you do your own hair! That's right, hair weave maintenance is just that simple.

Wash your hair and weave hair about once a week with a mild shampoo and conditioner. Brush the weave hair lightly while it is wet and feel free to use a leave in conditioner on your weave in hair and your own hair. For a sleek look, blow dry your weave in hair the same as you would your own hair. Then flat iron your hair and your weave hair (if that is the style you are going for).

And, last but not least, don't forget the finishing spray. Use the finishing spray sparingly.

At night don't for get to either pin curl your weave hair and your own hair or curl, and cover with a satin bonnet.

Hair Weave Tutorial

For instructions on how to create a gorgeous hair weave effect, often professionals will attend a heave weave conference or class. However, some hair weave specialists will also ask a friend to teach them how to create a hair weave. Most people just watch their hair care professional give someone else a weave in order to learn how to properly apply a hair weave.

Proper hair weave application starts with a clean head of hair. Most importantly, remember to dry the hair. If you would like your hair weave to look very natural, you will want to mold the hair first. This means that after washing and conditioning the hair, you will apply hair gel. Then wrap the hair around the head.

After the hair is COMPLETELY dry, then you can measure the weaving hair's weft and cut at the desired length. Once the weaving hair is cut, apply glue to the weft of the cut hair weave. Then apply the hair to the scalp. Continuing the above instructions until all of the required hair weave is applied.
