Frequently Asked Questions

Human Hair Weave

What is a hair weave?

A hair weave is a type of hair extension method where hair wefts are sewn onto braided hair and styled to one’s desire. It's a popular method for adding length, volume, or even color to one's natural hair without the need for direct manipulation or heat styling.

Can I color my hair weave?

Yes, if your hair weave is made of human hair, it can be colored. It's recommended to have this done professionally to avoid damaging the hair. Expect better results when coloring raw hair opposed to virgin hair weave.

How do I maintain my hair weave?

To maintain your hair weave, gently wash it with a sulfate-free shampoo, condition it regularly, and use a light oil to keep it moisturized. Always dry your weave thoroughly to prevent mildew. Use a silk or satin scarf to wrap your hair at night.

Will a hair weave damage my natural hair?

When installed and maintained properly, a hair weave should not damage your natural hair. It's important to have your weave installed by a professional and ensure that it's not too tight, which can lead to tension and breakage.

How is a hair weave installed?

A hair weave is installed by first braiding your natural hair into cornrows. Then, the hair wefts are sewn onto the braids using a needle and thread. The process can take several hours, depending on the desired style and volume.
