Guys will never understand why we spend so much money and time on these things, but for us girls its worth the results. If you think that after you’ve applied you hair extensions you don’t need to do anything else, you’re wrong. Your black hair weave styles need special care with special products. We are going to give you some easy tips on how to get a longer life span for your black hair weaves. Hair maintenance depends very much on the type of your extensions: if they’re made out of natural human hair or synthetic hair.
Natural human hair weaves
If you have natural human hair weaves you’re lucky because this is the best quality you can get and they’re easier to maintain. Since your hair is natural you don’t necessarily need a special shampoo for hair extensions
. You can use shampoo for normal natural hair, but it is best for it to be a professional one, designated to sensitive hair, so it does not damage your hair. It is must that you use conditioner. It should be one that moisturizes your hair really good, preferably one that contains mango butter or Shea butter and essential oils to properly hydrate your hair. Also once or twice a week you should apply a hair treatment mask that detangles your hair and gives extra moisture. You could also apply warmed olive oil 30 minutes before you wash your hair and cover your hair in a towel.
It is preferable that you don’t style your weaves in order not to damage your hair. If you blow dry your hair try to keep the blow dryer at a distance of at least arms length (25 cm) from the hair and use the lowest temperature. If you want to use a hair straightener or a curler you must apply a special spray or hair product with heat protection, otherwise you’ll ruin your hair.
For a longer life span it is also recommended not to abuse your hair with styling products such as hair gel, hair spray or moose. As this will dry and damage your hair.
