Weave, a Protective Hairstyle Adaptable to All Styles
Weaving involves braiding natural hair into cornrows, onto which strips of hair extensions called wefts are sewn. Two main types are distinguished: the open weave, which leaves a part of the natural hair visible (often the parting or the edges), and the closed weave, where all the hair is covered, sometimes with a closure or a frontal. This Afro hairstyle technique is popular for its natural look, longevity, and ability to protect hair from external aggressions.
The Benefits of Weaving to Enhance and Protect Afro Hair
Weaving is an ideal solution to change your look without altering your natural texture. It allows you to easily add length, volume, or even test a hair color without risk. In its closed version, it fully protects the hair; in its open version, it allows you to maintain a natural look while limiting manipulation. It is also an ideal hairstyle during hair transition periods, as it offers a break while remaining stylish.
Tips for a Successful and Safe Weave Installation
To avoid negative effects (traction, breakage, irritated scalp), it is crucial that the cornrows are well done, neither too tight nor too loose. Wash and moisturize your hair thoroughly before installation. If you opt for an open weave, make sure to carefully maintain the visible parts of your natural hair. A well-maintained weave can be kept for 4 to 6 weeks. After removal, let your hair breathe for a few days and take the opportunity to do a deep restorative treatment.
