How Should Sew-In Hair Weaves Be Maintained?
1. Before washing, untangle your hair weave.
Before washing, comb and detangle hair extensions. To untangle your hair weave, it is advised to use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Gently comb your hair weave, working your way up from the ends. Don't make the hair tense.
2. Wash your sew-in weaves every seven to fourteen days.
As with your natural hair, wash your hair weaves on a regular basis. Fill your palm with the appropriate amount of shampoo, then rub it through your extensions and into your scalp. Avoid coming into contact with the sewed portion. Use circular strokes to massage your hair.
3. Condition your hair correctly
It is critical to condition your hair correctly, especially curly-textured hair.
Apply the proper amount of the conditioner below the sewn part, since if you apply too much conditioner where the extensions connect with your natural hair, your extensions may fall out.
In addition, avoid applying the condition too close to your scalp, which may cause your hair to become greasy.
4. Let your hair totally dry.
To prevent losing the remaining extensions, make sure your hair is totally dry. Even though it can take longer, think about drying your hair using a blow dryer on a lower heat setting. However, your hair will last longer and be healthier. Before blow-drying your hair, don't forget to use a heat protectant.
5. Don't use heat tools too much
Heat tools are necessary for everyday hair styling, but excessive use might shorten the life of your sew-in weave. Prior to heat styling your hair, always apply a heat protectant. It is preferable to utilize heat tools sparingly or to substitute them with other tools, such as magic hair rollers.
6. Sleep with a silk scarf/cap
When you sleep, the contact between your pillow and hair might cause tangles. Therefore, wearing a silk scarf or cap is the greatest technique to reduce friction. Put a silk hat on all of your hair. You can braid your hair loosely before donning the silk cap if you have curly hair. Additionally, switching to a silk pillowcase is another effective way to reduce friction.
