Maybe a bit of heat protection spray if you wish to use a flat iron* nothing more.
With your own hair you are probably using 3-4 different products during your average wash day but all you need to care for a weave is a good quality shampoo and a good moisturizing conditioner*. As your hair grows, you can then increase the lengths of your weaves to match. You end up with natural looking layers that you can have a good stylist refine with a bit of snipping to give it a more seamless look. The idea is to have the longest length, 18 inch in this case, at the bottom to give you the length and the shorter weave at the top closer to your leave out hair. If your leave out hair is 8 inches long for argument sake, you can get one pack at 12 inches and another pack at 14 inches and another one at 16-18 inches. An extreme example I know but the idea holds out.Ī good way to mitigate that effect is to layer your weave. This would not usually not be very noticeable unless your own hair is 2 inches in length while the weave is 18 inches, it just doesn’t look, well… believable. However good your weave is, sometimes you get that ‘separation’ of hair between the tracks and your leave out. Now you may not be in agreement with this but hear me out. Wear believable lengthsĪ good rule of thumb is to never wear a weave that’s more than 4 inches longer than your own hair. Even if you have thick natural hair you will need to braid in such a way that it is flat and able to hide any lumps and bumps that will undermine the finished product.
If you go to a stylist to have your weave installed then this shouldn’t be an issue but if you choose to do it yourself, don’t underestimate the importance of having your cornrows be as flat as possible. If you want to wear your hair up in a ponytail then leave half an inch around the entire perimeter of your head as well. This is usually a 1-2 inch section at the top for the part and a about 1/2 inch on the sides. You should leave out a horseshoe section for the best results. Having that little bit of leave out hair at the front to cover your tracks is a definite yes if you want it to look realistic. A partial weave can still protect majority of your hair while you wear a gorgeous realistic looking hairstyle.
