Tips on Styling a Human Hair Weave

Human hair weaves can add volume and length to any hair even if it is limp and dull.  You can style your weave like you would your regular hair but you must make sure that you are careful not to pull the hair out of your weave by being too rough.  A long lasting hair weave can also be ensured by being careful with styling products and curling irons that can cause damage.

• Make sure that you are careful when combing the tangles out of your weave.  A comb with wide teeth should be used to minimize pulling. Start at the bottom of the hair and work your way up.


• Be careful not to use too many styling products on your weave hair.  These products can build up over time requiring you to wash your hair more frequently.  If your weave is washed too often then it may not last as long.


• Make sure that the hair of your weave is dry before styling.  Air drying is best to keep the hair of your weave in good condition.  If you use a hair dryer, make sure that you do it as infrequently as possible and as far away from your scalp as you can.


• If you use a hair straightener or curling iron on your weave, make sure that you are careful not to keep these items on the hair of your weave for too long.  A human hair weave can withstand heat like regular hair but too much heat can damage a weave over time.


• You can use hair accessories such as clips and ties for your weave but make sure that they are not put in too tight.  Clips that are too tight may rip out the hair.


• Styling your hair in a loose hairdo will be best for the hair of your weave.  This will decrease pulling on the roots allowing for a longer lasting weave.
