Thinking about getting a weave?
Sometimes you just want to give your hair a break. The two popular options are braiding and weaving, but getting a weave that looks real or close to real can be super tricky if you have natural hair. If your hair is not relaxed, leaving some uncovered to hide the tracks of your weave can also result in damage and breakage; since the only way to keep it looking good may be through repeated flat-ironing or tonging.
One good solution is to look for a curly/kinky weave that is closer to you hair texture and then part-braid the bits that are necessary to cover your tracks (no pun intended). The weave pictured here is a loose curl in off-black with brown highlights, and being synthetic; was actually quite affordable as it cost under $9. However, it was a good quality type of synthetic weave; and to make it look a little more natural I gently picked apart some of the strands and fluffed it out.
Don’t forget to take care of your hair even when it’s weaved/braided! I made sure to spritz my hair and scalp daily with a homemade moisturizer and applied some sheen to the weave regularly to keep it from looking dry and limp.
So, is this something you’d be willing to try?!
