3 Good Reasons: To Get You A Hair Weave!

This post might be a little unorthodox but I feel it’s completely necessary. In the era of natural hair, wearing a weave is starting to be looked down on when it shouldn’t be. If you have never had a good hair weave, then you absolutely cannot part your weave-virgin lips, thinking you’re hair is better or even healthier then us girls who know better. & if you have embraced the popular go too look, then you will agree with everything I’m about to say. 

1. If installed correctly, your hair will grow. Personally, I only wear weave when I feel like I’m just doing too much to my hair. I’m a girl, I get bored, & my hair is usually the first thing I attack. (How I even ended up going natural: boredom.) If your hair stylist is an actual hair stylist or your homegirl actually knows what she’s doing, then they should be able to give you a sew-in that doesn’t put tension or stress on your hair. The results of a good sew-in are AMAZING. Think about it: naturalistas don’t shampoo often in fear that shampoo will strip the natural oils of the hair. Completely leaving your hair alone for 2-3 months (maybe longer) at a time, gives your hair time to completely absorb its own oils. In the end when you’re ready to take the braids down, you can see, feel, and smell the oil built up and you’ll see and feel that your hair isn’t dry. [Side note: this is time when you need to use shampoo lol] The fact that your hair wasn’t put under much environmental or everyday stress from styling tools & products is what helps maintain steady hair growth. 
2. Hair weaves are very low maintenance compared to your own hair. We’ve all been there: Its 7:30am and you’re running late for your 8am and you just stare in the mirror at your hair. It needs to be washed, detangled, and moisturized but that could take hours. If you properly care for your hair weave then the prep time in the morning takes minutes! You can wrap your hair at night, wake up and just brush. Or you can still rock your messy bun w/o it being truly messy. The versatility in a hair weave is amazing. African American natural hair can be hard to bounce between styles without washing, blow-drying, twisting, ect. But a hair weave is 10x easier. I can go from straight, to curly, to an up-do, back to bone straight without putting much product in my hair which in turn saves me a lot of time. I no longer have to wash out gel to get my hair to do what I want it too. 
3. Experimenting is the funniest part about weave. You’ve been dying to try the ombre trend but don’t want to damage your hair? Get yourself a weave and ombre the ends. Or maybe you’ve been getting a little inspiration from our beloved badgalri and want to go red? Dye your weave. The sky is the limit for what you can do to your hair weave in terms of hair color and cut. You want bangs? go for it! You can do it all, without actually doing anything.
