The Hair Weave techniques is extremely simply and involves firstly braiding the natural hair to create a sturdy foundation for the hair extension style. Then a curved carpet needle, along with strong thread is used to reinforce the hair braid so that it does not loosen and begin to unravel. Wefts of Human Hair are then sewn onto the braided base in neat rows. A Weft of Human Hair is basically a ‘curtain’ of extension hair stitched together. There are2 different types of Extension Hair Weft; Hand wefted and machine wefted. The most common is machine wefted, this type of weft is strong and durable and the extension hair is normally supplied in two long reams that can be cut down to any size desired without the weft unravelling. Machine wefts come in a variety of sizes and the thicker wefts can often be split into separate wefts with a razor to create two ultra thin wefts perfect for use around the hairline. Hand Wefted hair is custom ordered to match exact measurements and thickness desired by the client. These wefts can not be cut down and but are very good in retaining the extension hair. With Afro hair a hair weave can cover the entire head, for a realistic finish a ‘closure hair piece’ is sewn onto a crown area. A closure hair piece is simple a wig like cap approximately 4 inches in diameter to disguise the hair extension wefts with European hair the crown area is generally left out to blend in with the extension hair.
Because this is an entirely chemical free application process there is very little risk of damage when applied by a qualified, experienced hair weave professional. Hair Weaves are extremely easy to look after and tend to last up to 8 weeks with proper aftercare. To keep your extension hair in top condition ensure you use appropriate styling products. It is recommended that you use a shampoo and conditioner set formulated for use with hair extensions. Ensure you wash your Hair Extensions at least once a week in the shower to prevent hair tangling due to product build up. A Hair Weave can usually be applied in under two hours and does not need professional maintenance; this makes it an extremely cost effective hair extension choice.
