This makeover does not have any special prerequisites and hence can be adorned by anyone. Your hair could be under any category, thick or thin, long or short, weaving hairstyle can be tried upon you and will definitely suit you.
Weaving essentially involves the addition of strands to the scalp so that the existing hair could appear longer and thicker. This process is also known as hair integration. Addition of strands to the root area is done by weaving human or synthetic hair. This helps the hair which has been added, to merge with the scalp area and grow in a natural manner. Hair weaving requires special maintenance as they have the risk of breaking off under certain pressures.
Procedure for weaving hairstyles
Take a head bath to ensure that no dirt or oil is present in the scalp. Dry the hair thoroughly. Part the hair with the tip of a comb into different temples and leave out some strands to cover the paths visible from the sides and top of the head. Start braiding the hair from the root to the tip in mid-sized corn-rows. Once all the braids are made, collect them and bundle with the help of a rubber band. Open a pack of track hair after careful matching the color of your hair. The end of the track hair should be placed on the scalp and placed as low as possible. Cut off the track hair at the end of the right hand side of the corn-row. Once the length has been decided and cut accordingly, take a C-shaped needle and thread to stitch the track on the scalp. However, ensure to maintain the pattern of sewing around the perimeter of the head. The hair is then ironed in order to blend the sewed strands with the natural ones.
Different types of weaving hairstyles
The first question that props in your mind is "How to choose the best style?"
When it comes to addition of strands into the scalp, not all hair types can suit every person. Some might look better with natural hair while some might look good with synthetic hair. From the tapes, track hair to sewing, varied weave methods suit better than others. A hair stylist with experience in the field can be in a better position to study the color and texture of your hair and suggest an appropriate hairstyle. Let us have a look at the three most prominent weaving hair styles available in the market.
Stitched-in weave: This is one of the permanent solutions to a thin hairline. Natural or synthetic extensions are braided with the natural hair initially to form a corn-row. They are then stitched directly onto the scalp. These stitch-in hair weaves can help in modification of texture, length and color. Such styles can last for around seven to eight weeks after which either a makeover or a complete overhaul is required.
Bonding weaves: This is an alternative to the sewn-in method of weaving hair. This is mostly for those who dread the idea of getting some stitches on their scalp. A glue paste or tape is used to attach the hair extension to the scalp and make it appear natural. This kind of styling requires availability of thick hair on the scalp which can hide the tapes and bonds. Bonding weaving hairstyle is basically done to improve the volume and thickness of the hair.
Clawed weaves: These weaves are added on to the hair by attaching some claws to hold the strands. These clips are added to give an appearance of thick and lustrous hair. However, exceptional maintenance is required for these styles as they carry of risk of breakage due to entanglement. This is not a long-term solution of hair styling like the bonding or stitched-in method but add immediate solution to the problem of thin or lustre free hair.
Weaving hairstyles are here to stay in the market and have become a part and parcel of every woman's lifestyle. They are used in the same manner as hair color in the current trend.
