Beauty Hacks: 6 Tips to Help Your Weave Last Longer
When you buy quality weaves (like the ones you find here) you definitely want to get your money’s worth out of it. To do this, you need to understand the kind of care it requires. Even virgin hair needs to be taken care of. The hair has been cut off from its primary source of nutrients and natural oils and the only source of supplements it can get, is the one you provide.
These tips should help you understand just what your hair needs and how to provide it.
Make sure you buy quality hair: low quality hair will be quick to shed and break, leaving you with something you can’t wear with pride anymore. Make sure to buy high quality hair that will be able to stand time, use and natural elements. Our online store is filled with several high quality weaves in different styles and colors for you to choose from.
Avoid contact with heat: as much as you want to straighten your hair, or add some gorgeous curls to it, remember that heat is very damaging to the hair. It removes moisture and natural oils from the hair and over time, would leave your hair looking dry and dull. Your best option is to choose a weave that has the texture you want naturally. For some extra curls, try using curling items that do not need heat. Your hair will last so much longer.
Avoid bleaching and dyeing: this is one of the fastest ways to ruin your hair. The chemicals used to bleach and dye hair are very damaging. They can kill off the remaining oils in the hair, also sapping hydration from the strands. If you need a particular color, try looking for that color other than buying a weave with plans to dye it.
Consider wearing a net: a net is a protective covering for your hair, the weave can be attached to the net instead of your natural hair. Using a net will help your weave last longer, it will hold your braids in place. Even though we are considering our weaves now, nets also protect your natural hair because this way, your stylist doesn’t sew into your braids. Before you decide, talk to your stylist on what you want done, he or she would help you make a choice that would fit your needs.
Wrap your hair up before bed: for curly hair, you can keep it twisted and for straight hair, you can wrap it up. To prevent wear and to protect your hair from the elements, it is best to keep it in this ‘maintainance mode’ when you’re at home or about to go to bed. This way, your hair won’t get rough or frizzy but will stay well groomed for as long as you need it to.
Get a professional touch up once in a while: it is important to get a stylist to give you a professional touch up once in a while. Too many DIYs may turn out to be a not so good option. A professional touch up is necessary to keep your hair well groomed.
Remember to be kind to your weave, it is even more fragile than your natural hair and needs to be protected. If you treat it well, your weave should stay glossy and healthy looking for a long time. That’s money well spent!
