The Best Practices to Follow With Your Weave Closure

The moment we mention the term weave, you would naturally want to achieve a realistic look. The popularity of weaves transcends all barriers these days as women are more confident using these extensions to try new hairdos. Modern weaves let you achieve a natural look without much hassle but for that you need to adhere to some of the best practices. In this short write-up we share with you a few important tips that would let you get the best out of your weave closure. 

# Choose a Weave Closure Carefully

Whether you plan to shop for weave closure online or from a retail store you would be carefully at the choices you have. Apart from the variation in prices there is also great variation in the type of closure, color of the hair, its texture etc. that can put you into a fix. Start by choosing hair closures made from human hair instead of synthetic fibers as they appear and feel natural. Next you need to carefully choose the length, texture and color. It all depends on the style you want to achieve and how they would blend with your own hair. Talking to your hair stylist is advisable as you would get professional opinion.

# Prepare Your Scalp for the Weave
This is one of the things that many people tend to ignore and often have to suffer the adverse effects. Not preparing your scalp and hair for the weave won’t let you achieve the perfect blend that you are looking for and you would also risk damaging your own hair. You should start by deep conditioning your hair and scalp. It helps in strengthening it before you install the weave. Also once you have installed the weave you need to oil the roots and the edges once in a while as this helps keep them nourished and also fosters their growth.

# Always Insist on Weave Net
There are two ways you can install a weave – have the tracks directly sewn into your hair or these can be sewn into a net. You should always opt for the latter as this relives the stress and tension on your own hair. Also the net helps in installing and taking off the weave much faster and easier.

# Follow The Eight Week Rule
How long can I wear hair closures? This is surely one of the most searched things on the Internet about closures. And you would come across various answers to these with some stylist even saying you can wear them for 16 – 20 weeks once installed. But to prevent damage to your own hair you shouldn’t wear the weave at a stretch for more than 6 to 8 weeks. Or else your hair can become entangled and even lead to hair loss.

# Give The Weave a Miss!
Though you can replace a weave every now and then it is recommended that you give it a miss for a week or so once you have removed the piece that you were wearing until recently. The reason being your natural hair is very fragile once you remove the weave and exposing them for about a week allows them to regain their strength. In the interim period you also need to take good care of your hair and wash them carefully and oil the entire scalp. Once you want the next install condition your hair and you are ready for your next style! 

 

These few things kept in mind would allow you to enjoy all kinds of hairdo that you may have imagined with a weave closure. As we have mentioned already always insist on high quality weaves as they add to your style quotient.
