It
is not because one has a weave that one must forget his hair underneath
and that one does not take care of them. On the contrary, you must
redouble your vigilance. After several weeks with weaving, you can opt
for Brazilian hair bundles.
Once
plait was removed, you might find your hair slightly pushed and in
fairly good condition. When you wear box braids or vanilla as a
protective hairstyle, sebum flows much more easily than with a weave or
with braids hook. It is therefore quite logical that they are a little
drier than usual.
As mentioned above, the disadvantage of
weaving is that it tends to dry out the hair which can lead to its
breakage. The maintenance that you will give to your hair will therefore
have as main objective to limit as much as possible the dryness of your
hair in order to avoid a drama once the weaving is removed.
Weekly
maintenance will be the washing of your weaving and the care that will
follow, whether your wear a protective hairstyle or not. It is important
to note that you will need to be tricky during this step. Indeed, in
order not to damage your hairstyle, it will be necessary to proceed
smoothly and limit the manipulation.
First of all, use a
moisturizing shampoo – it will suit quite to natural hair and you will
feel really good. To facilitate the application of shampoo, dilute it in
a spray with water. Once your shampoo is rinsed, apply a leave in
conditioner (care without rinsing to put after shampooing). Be advised
that you to choose a leave in spray to facilitate the application and
apply this leave in your hair right under the weave. Depending on your
hair needs you can opt for a protein or moisturizing leave.
Once
this product is applied, comes the time of drying. With a weaving, the
drying stage is essential. Indeed, under the locks your real hair has
difficulty to dry. You may therefore have itching and especially having
bad odours if your hair below the weave is not dried properly. Do not
forget to dry your hair and especially your braids at the root.
But
who says hair dryer says heat protector. Before switching on the hair
dryer, apply a heat shield on your extensions but also and especially on
your real hair at the root. This will allow all of your hair (true hair
+ extensions) to be protected during this heat wave.
