Preventing shedding in deep curly hair weaves or wigs starts with understanding that this texture requires extra gentleness due to its tight coils and defined ringlets. The best approach is to reduce friction and keep the curls hydrated so they don’t snag or break. Always detangle slowly with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, beginning at the ends and working upward. Detangling while the hair is saturated with conditioner is especially effective, allowing the curls to glide apart without pulling.
A sulfate-free shampoo and rich moisturizing conditioner help maintain the hair’s strength, while leave-in conditioners and curl creams keep the curls soft and flexible. Avoid brushing or manipulating the hair when it's dry, as this can cause strands to snap and shed. When washing, gently scrunch rather than rub to preserve the curl pattern.
Sealing the wefts before installation is another great way to minimize shedding. A high-quality weft sealant reinforces the stitching and prevents loose strands from slipping out over time. Additionally, avoid high-temperature styling, since it can weaken curls and cause breakage. Sleeping in a satin bonnet or on a satin pillowcase reduces friction, helping your deep curly hair stay fuller, more defined, and beautifully shed-free for longer.
