Me and my mother took a trip to the well known Dixie Outlet mall in Mississauga, having saw alot of black people came to the conclusion that I should write a blog entry on good weave maintenance.
I thought i'd share some of my personal tips for you ladies.
Curly Weaves
these weaves need lots of hairapy and lot's of daily attention
- lightly brush with a brush with bristles daily
- use a sheen spray
- use a weave finishing lotion and a wide toothed comb, so the curls do not get separated
- tie your head daily with a head tie
- protect from rain
Straight Weaves
These weaves don't need as much attention as curly weaves, but don't be fooled your hair may look like a white girls but it aint manageable like theirs.
- brush daily with a paddle brush
- straighten daily
- protect from the rain
- wrap hair and tie with a head tie
- dont apply various different weave products/ oily products to your weave stick to one or two, as it causes build up to the weave and eventually dries the hell out of it.
**here is a tip for straight weaves use when weave is very long to straighten or needs to look fresh:
simply take your hands wet them with water and lightly damp the hair, after damping the hair proceed with a paddle brush and brush the hair. Then use a white girl blow-drying brush OR the paddle brush and blow dry the hair untill it looks straight and dry. Not only will the blow dry give your weave some body it will make it look straight if youre in a hurry and will give your weave a quick makeover. give it a quick straighten and you're out the door!
signs that it is R.I.P to your weave
- looks fuzzy and dried out
- no matter how much you brush it bounces back to a tangle
- many of your friends are asking you when you're taking it out
- braids and tracks are starting to show
- tracks are very loose
- No matter how much you try to style it, it ends up looking like absolute shit.
- you're getting headaches from tapping on your head so much, tryna itch between a track.
Some good brands of hair:
Onyx ( but should be used for full heads, kinda thin... but lasts long!)
Premium Now or Premium Too
Milkyway (expensive but GREAAAT)
Indian remy (super dooper expensive but a heck of an investment)
Golden Queen
Just some tips ladies because honestly these days you guys are becoming UN-BEWEAVABLE ... weave it right or not at all, holler at me for a list of hairdressers in ya area!
