Weaves<\/a> are a great way to experiment with your style and give your natural hair a break. Women across the world are choosing weaves for protective reasons.<\/p>\n

With just the right amount of care, your weave can look healthy and gorgeous.<\/p>\n

Follow these easy tips to protect and maintain your weaves.<\/p>\n

1. Shampoo Once\/Twice Every Week<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Hygiene is a priority! Clean your weave, scalp, and hair for overall hair health. Be very gentle while washing and opt for sulphate free shampoos. Treat your weave like it is your natural hair.<\/p>\n

2. Correct Combing <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Be gentle while combing your weave. Detangle the preferably wet weave extensions with your own fingers. Avoid tugging too hard; it will damage the quality of your weave.<\/p>\n

3. Dry Carefully<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The best way is to let your weave air dry, this will prevent breakage and frizz. You can also gently pat them with a soft towel. Avoid using excess heat. Use medium or low heat setting while blow drying your hair<\/p>\n

4. Deep Condition\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Make sure you deep condition your hair before sewing in a weave. We recommend a leave-in spray conditioner, which provides moisture and adds texture to the weave extensions.<\/p>\n

5. Avoid Scratching<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Using weaves and extensions might cause scalp irritation. Scratching your scalp with fingernails will cause irritation. You can use products such as scalp soother for instant relief; it will soothe the scalp and will not disrupt the braids or weaves.<\/p>\n

6. Sleep With A Scarf <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Pillow covers are harsh on your hair; it causes moisture loss. Tie a satin scarf while sleeping to save your weave from damage, breakage, and frizz.<\/p>\n

Get yourself a hair care regime, a hair professional can recommend you the right products for your weave type.<\/p>\n
