Hair weaves are very popular since they provide length and volume. In many cases, a good hair weave can transform a person's appearance. When a hair weave is done by a talented hairstylist, it can last for many months if it is properly cared for. If you are interested in getting a hair weave, it is important to know how to care for it. A hair weave that uses the highest quality hair available is not inexpensive, so if you invest your money in getting one you are sure to want it to look great for as long as possible. Use the following tips to help you care for your hair weave.

Use High-Quality Hair Products

If you're investing time and money to get a high-quality hair weave, you should also plan on buying the best shampoo and conditioner possible. A good clarifying shampoo works well for a hair weave, as it will remove any buildup on the hair. After shampooing, always apply conditioner in order to keep your hair weave looking soft and moisturized. It is also in your best interest to buy quality styling products, but when you have a hair weave, try to avoid using too much product since it can damage your hair weave over time.

Take the Time to Thoroughly Dry Your Hair

When you have a hair weave, you do not need to wash your hair daily or even every other day. But, when you do wash your hair it is extremely important to take the time to ensure that it is completely dry. With a hair weave, the natural hair is braided and the hair weave is attached to the braids. Thus, you need to make sure that both your weave and your natural hair are dry. Failure to completely dry all of the hair on your head can lead to problems that may require removing the weave prematurely.

Protect Your Hair Weave While Sleeping

The last thing that you want is for your hair weave to get tangled and snarled while you are sleeping. After getting a hair weave, it is highly recommended to also buy either a silk headscarf or a silk pillowcase. Silk is very gentle on hair and will prevent tangles while sleeping. If you use a silk headscarf or silk pillowcase at night, your hair weave will look great in the morning and will be ready to be styled.
