Okay ladies, let's talk about how to achieve a natural look with a sew in weave.
A BAD WEAVE will be a reality for you, or someone you know at some point in your life. It goes something like this..... you have a friend, or family member that has in a weave. And she is wearing it like it is a $2000 hairdo. But, you can see that something is really wrong with the weave. It might be that the hair is not blended well, the color or texture is completely wrong, or it just doesn't look good on her. Of course, you don't want to hurt her feelings so you don't say anything.
Here are some tips on how to achieve a natural look while wearing a weave:
1) Try to match the hair to YOUR hair and hair color the best you can. If you do not have BONE STRAIGHT HAIR, please, please don't spend your money on hair that doesn't match yours. You want your weave to look as natural as possible. If you want to go lighter, you can always color your hair to achieve this look by using a temporary or permanent dye. If you’re going to spend your money on hair, be sure to purchase top quality hair, you will more than likely get the look that you are going for. You buy cheap, you get a cheap look.
2) Blend, Blend and keep Blending the hair together. If you get a full weave and you leave out some of your hair for a more natural look, there are a few ways to style it so that it will blend with the hair weaved in. Be sure to purchase a good curling iron or flat iron. Make sure you curl or flat iron the hair so it blends easier.
3) Take care of your weave the same way you would with your natural hair, and it will last much longer. Make sure you comb it out before washing it and avoid using alcohol and harsh products that can dry the hair out. Always condition the hair. If you don't mind making the investment, go back to the salon to have your stylist wash, condition and style your weave. This way you know it will be done correctly.
Be sure to take care of the hair, it will last longer and look more natural.
