Have you ever had a hair weave only to discover that it looks a hot mess after some time? if so, then fortunately there is something you can do about it. All it takes is a little patience and daily ritual. Your weaves will then begin to last longer than ever and every time you can look like you just stepped out of the salon. Here are a few simple steps to maintaining your hair weave:

1. Wrap the hair up at night. It is recommended to use a satin scarf to wrap the hair up before you go to bed. Not wrapping the hair up at night may cause it to frizz and look unpleasant the next morning or as time goes by.

2. Do not use too many products. Weaves are known to become weighed down rather quickly when you add too many products on a hair weave. Some products may even cause the weave to shed. use products that are usually water-based instead of oily and silicone-based products.

3. Avoid heat appliances. Heat appliances can cause damage to your hair weave overtime. Once the damage is done, it cannot be redone. It’s okay to use heat sometimes, but everyday is not recommended.

4. Do a rollerset. If your hair weave is curly, and it is losing its bounce and curls, then it is recommended to do a rollerset. The rollersets will bring the hair back to life. Also, if your hair weave is straight and you are getting bored with your old style, you can use rollersets to create a curly style instead. It is best to rollerset hair weaves when they are damp for better results.

5. Try to avoid additional friction. Most friction applied to hair weaves are from combing and brushing with a bristle brush. Instead of using a bristle brush, use a paddle brush and avoid combing as much as possible, especially with small-tooth combs. The small tooth combs can cause shedding and thinning of your hair weave.
