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.
