Keeping your weave looking good and lasting long is important. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Wash Gently: Clean your weave every week or two with a mild shampoo. Focus on the scalp and roots. Be gentle to avoid tangling.
2. Use Conditioner: Apply a softening conditioner after washing. Deep condition once a week; if you have human hair, weave it to keep it shiny and smooth.
3. Hydrate Daily: Use a light leave-in conditioner or serum every day. Keep your hair moist with a water-based product to avoid dryness.
4. Protect At Night: Braiding or twisting the weave at night helps keep the texture and prevents tangles.
5. Limit Heat: Try not to use heat styling tools often. If you do, use a heat protectant spray to reduce damage.
6. Keep Scalp Happy: Once a week, use a light oil or treatment on your scalp to stop itching and flaking.
7. Skip Heavy Products: Heavy oils and creams can weigh down the weave and cause buildup. Avoid these.
8. Care For Your Hair: Give your natural hair breaks between weave installs so it can breathe and grow.
Follow this guide, and your natural hair weave can look great and last for weeks while also helping your natural hair stay healthy.​
