Caring Hair Weave

Caring Hair Weave

Wash the hair before application. This will remove any residue from processing. Wash the hair in the shower taking care to keep the hair hanging loose.

Avoid using cheap shampoos and hair products when you care for a hair weave, because these tend to dry out the weave. Also they contain more detergent than conditioners.

Avoid cheap conditioners as the conditioners tend to be watered down giving less than the needed amount of conditioning to keep the hair from drying out. Remember that this hair is not growing out of the scalp and is not being replenished with natural oils.

Apply shampoo and condioners evenly throughout the hair. Squeeze the product through the hair. Avoid scrubbing, rubbing or bunching the hair together. Condition the hair well with a good cream based conditioner. Care weaved hair by always being gentle with products and handling. Use a quality spray on conditioner that is meant to be left in. This will help keep the hair weave soft.

Pat excess water from the hair and allow the hair to dry completely before going to bed. Never sleep with the hair wet or damp. Let the hair air dry whenever possible. If you use a blow dryer, dry out the wefted part of the hairpiece first. Then finish drying the hair from the ends up. Avoid pulling the hair while wet. Avoid using excess heat.

Loosen hair every morning and before going to bed. Most tightly curled styles should never be combed. Shake out curly styles, comb through straight styles and use a wide tooth comb or fingers to loosen wavy hair.

Avoid applying direct heat to the bonded area.

Salt from perspiration, if allowed to buildup on the hair will strip the hair making it hard `and brittle. If you exercise, make a practice of rinsing and conditioning the hair after each workout. Shampooing after a workout is not always necessary.

Use a mild stringent on the scalp in between washings. Witch hazel works well.

If you use a blow dryer use one with a diffusing tool to better circulate the heat.

If you have bonded extensions, avoid applying heat to the bonded areas.

Most hair extensions have been processed. For this reason, we don't recommend you color hair extensions. If you find you must color to get a better color match, try coloring your natural hair to match the hair piece. Additional chemical treatment on hair extensions can make the hair frizzy dull and difficult to manage.

Brazilian Hair Weaving

Brazilian Hair Weaving

Brazilian hair is real human having a nice soft texture. It's not as like other ordinary human hair weaving available in retail hair shops. Actually ordinary hair weaving can’t be treated as natural human hairs and thus sometimes they get out of control. But this is not the case in Brazilian Hair Weaving.

You can dryer them, straight them, style them any way or color them and even swim with them on. Then also they will remain as natural and as soft as ever before. And that’s why they can be used many times then other types of weaves.

Now some Information on the Procedure:

Person’s hair is braided on his own scalp either horizontally or vertically. Weave-pieces are sewed over the cornrow with thick thread. And because of thick thread, Brazilian hair weaving stays firmly for a longer period. Number of weave pieces and braided cornrows depends on how heavy hairstyle one wants to have. Brazilian Hair Weaving takes about 4 to 5 hours to put them on.

Next, your whole head is weaved by braiding all hairs and then sewing the Brazilian Weave on top of the braids. There is no need to mix your own hair with the weave hair. Rather you will only able to see the weaves and not the braids. Now, with this weaves, you can make either bangs, a parted bang on the side or layers in front and anything you wants.

Some Benefits of Brazilian Hair Weaving:

• You can comb hair with the Brazilian weave in.
• You can leave a piece of your own hair in front.
• You can weave your whole head.
• You can also weave your curly, frizzy and or straight hairs. Anything is possible.
• You can make a natural parting in the middle but if your own hair matches the Brazilian Hair Weave. But for this weaving you will need two packages of Brazilian Hair.
• It stays longer than any other type of Weaves, normally for three months, can be up to four months but after three months the cornrows may loosen up because of your hair kept growing underneath the Brazilian hair weave.
• It doesn’t damage your own hairs unless you comb your hair brutally. You should comb your Brazilian hair calmly.
• Your hair will grows faster and healthy by this weaving.
• You can use the Brazilian Hair Weaving on all types of hair.
• You can also weave your full head because you not have to take care of 2 types of hair s (your natural Hair and the weaved Hair).

Taking care of Brazilian Hairdo:

Use a good shampoo and conditioner that you use for your own natural hairs. But wash your hair only once in a week or two. Massage gently with the top of your fingers with shampoo between the rows of the Brazilian weave hair. Rinse it out with a lot of water and repeat twice. After doing shampoo, most important thing is to BLOW Dry your hair as it can smell a lot, if remains moist or wet.

Summary:

The average retail cost of the Brazilian Hair Weave for extensions is around $150 for a 4-ounce package. But other hair weaving processes have a cost ranging from around $500 to over $2000 depending on the type of hair used, and the amount of extension applied. Prices also vary based on the area in which you live. I can tell you that fusion extension hair is generally much more expensive than hair used for braid extensions or other types of extensions. It will generally take several packages to add extensions to the entire head.

Human Hair Weaving

Human Hair Weaving

As you glance across virtually every print medium such as newspapers, magazines and catalogs, there seems to be one thing in common as far as hair cut styles is concerned. The long hair cut style is everywhere. So what are you supposed to do if you don’t have long hair and you really want the long hair cut style? Well, let’s see, human hair grows about ½” per month, so if your hair is at ear level, that would be almost two years to wait for that ‘hair cascading down your back’ look. And of course by the time you grow your hair out, the short hair cut style will be in.

“Don’t limit yourself to just adding length to your hair. Hair extensions offer a simple solution to fine hair and can add a little pizzazz to thick, curly or wavy hair in any color or style.”

In today’s society, two-year waits are OUT and immediate results are IN. The beauty industry recognized the demand for instant long natural looking hair and thus today’s hottest trend was born—Human Hair Extensions.

“Any hair type can support hair extensions”, says Rachna (Hair Weaving Specialist, The Spa East Bank Club, Chicago, Ill). Rachna makes hair extensions easy by creating cutting-edge hair styles for his clients. Some examples include sleek and straight hair, vivacious ringlets and striking color enhancements with the use of different highlighted and low lighted hair extensions. He describes the hair extension process as very painstaking and challenging as it requires many hours and various techniques to complete. The rewards are many as he is able to re-invent hair, tweak techniques and fulfill his clients’ needs.

One of Rachnas’ hair extension clients, Holly Leach of Rantoul, Illinois, says she wanted to get hair extensions because she was ready for a change and wanted Rachna to re-invent her look by adding thickness and length to her thinning hair with European Hair Extensions. She was absolutely amazed at the results. “I came into the salon (Images by Rod & Company) looking one way, and came out looking totally different”, says, Leach. Leach has had her hair extensions for about 5 months now, with absolutely no issues and no complaints. She maintains the hair extensions with non-soy based conditioning shampoo and moisturizers from Sexy Hair Concepts, and uses hair dryers and curling irons with no problems. Leach concludes, ”Hair Extensions are worth the time and money, when you can get fabulous-looking long hair instantly”.

"Hair extensions are a huge self-esteem booster because they give women the opportunity to get the long hair style look without the wait" Guinevere Werr, Manager, The Spa East Bank Club, Chicago, Ill.

Some women are concerned or have heard that hair extensions can cause damage to their natural hair, or even loss of hair. Guinevere Werr, Manager of The Spa at the East Bank Club in Chicago, Ill, says the fusion application method Rachna uses does not create any damage to the natural hair since it is applied ¼” from the scalp and not directly on the scalp. Werr assisted Rachna with applying brown hair extensions with some highlight extensions to her sisters’ hair. She adds that Rachnas’ hair extension clients have lost almost no hair extensions and have had very little maintenance issues.

So where do you start if you are thinking of getting hair extensions? You must research the different types of hair used for hair extensions, the different types of attachment methods, the hair stylists’ education and training, any maintenance schedules and of course the cost.

There are a lot of different types of hair that are used for hair extensions. There is human hair and synthetic hair. Synthetic hair is used to add the high fashion colors, such as pinks and blues. Generally speaking, if you are going for the natural, it grew out of my head, look you should go with human hair. Human hair comes in many different textures and grades. The human hair must be strong and healthy to produce extensions that will last and wear without tangling or drying. European human hair is well- known as quality human hair used for extensions.
