This team has all the answers on style, hair type, haircare, reviews, and more. 

Whether you’ve just started your hair journey or joined the weave train some time ago, there are a few key things that you should know about buying your weave and caring for it. 

Afrolovely queens share their knowledge so you too can feel confident about your hair.

Find Good Quality Human Hair

Good quality hair extensions can be ridiculously pricey, but it’s worth spending the extra pennies to get yourself a weave that will last and look great for months. Afrolovely encourages you to save up and invest in high-quality human hair extensions. 

Not only will these last longer, but they’re also easier to care for. Since it is human hair, treat it like it is your own natural hair. That means shampooing, conditioning, and properly drying it as well. 

You can find quality hair from beauty supply stores, online stores like AliExpress, and social media. If you’re up for a trip, find a warehouse, but most of these are based in China.

Make sure you read reviews if you are buying online. Afrolovely covers a range of hair brand reviews and gives you their honest opinion so you can make the right choice for you. 

Their top tip, if it seems cheap, it probably is. Good quality hair is around $50 to over $100. Price is factored by quality, quantity, texture, and even color. For a full head of hair, you will need at least 3 or 4 bundles. 

Avoid Bonded Weaves

Bonded weaves are weaves that use bonding glue to attach the hair to your scalp or hair. It’s great for those who are suffering from hair loss and need a quick fix. But it suffocates your hair. 

If you want a healthy scalp and healthy natural hair, it needs to breathe. 

A fantastic alternative to bonded weaves is sew-in weaves. Sew-in weaves are gentler on the scalp and allow it to breathe. This minimizes breakage and protects your hair. They are also easier to manage and last much longer.

They require more time to install and can be pricier, but Afrolovely believes it’s worth it to care properly for your hair. With a sew-in, you can care for your hair, wash, and style it as you normally would. 

Switch it Up

Afrolovely recommends that you switch out your weave once every 6 to 8 weeks. By regularly switching out your weave, you’re allowing your scalp to breathe and relax. 

Besides, leaving the same weave in for longer than recommended could also lead to unsanitary conditions, mildew, and hair loss.

Buy two or three weaves so that you’re able to switch it up when necessary. You should buy weaves in different styles to give yourself some styling options. 

Wrap It Up

As you know, protecting your natural hair is essential. One of the best ways to do so is by wrapping it up in a silk scarf or bonnet before bed. 

Your weave is no different. To protect your weave and ensure that it remains healthy and luxurious, it is vital that you wrap it up. 

A silk scarf or bonnet protects your weave against frizz, breakage, and knotting. 

If you’re not a fan of a silk scarf or bonnet, you could also try a silk pillowcase. While it isn’t nearly as effective, sleeping on a silk pillowcase will help reduce breakage, frizz, and tangling. Using a silk scrunchy can also prevent breakage, especially if you work out a lot and would like to keep your hair out of your face. 

Find A Professional

Now, this tip really should go without saying but if you want your weave installed properly Afrolovely strongly advise that you enlist the skills of a professional. 

Not only will a professional stylist ensure ‌your weave doesn’t tug at your scalp, itch, or harm your hair, but they will also be able to style it according to your tastes. They will also know which hair brands are best to purchase.
