WHEN IS IT TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE TO YOUR WEAVE?

Now I know that was a bold move to do the title in all caps but seriously come one people weaves don�t last forever��Now that I have your attention I would like to the 5 signs that it is time to take your weave out. I as a hairstylist and a woman who wears weaves suggest leaving it in no longer than 2 months, however, everyone is different. So with that being said LET�S GO!


1. When you scratch your scalp and the weave moves like there is a wig on your head.This means the braids under the weave have completely grown out which is great because who doesn�t want their hair to grow�Right? With that being said the new growth needs to be washed deep conditioned and combed. So if the weave is moving around its time ladies to take it down.


2. The weave smells, you can smell it and so can those around you. This especially true for those wearing a curly or wet weave.When wearing a weave shampooing your own hair is limited because after all it�s braided. After 1-2 months the hair will begin to have an odor.


3. Severe shedding is a sure sign its time to say good bye to your weave.Not the shedding of your own hair that is braided but the weave hair off the track. This goes for the hair that is not the �Indian human hair,� but, because all the hair now a days says 100% human hair chances are if the pack says that it isn�t true and that the hair I�m talking about. Now I�m not knocking that type of hair because I too use it in my own hair but it does have a life span and once used can not be reused. So if your Milky way, Capelli, Bobby Boss, Dena Cali etc. is shedding its time to take the weave down


4. It has become a project to style your hair.I have clients from time to time that just can�t say goodbye to the weave so I have to create a miracle out of mayonnaise to get the weave to look like it did 2 months ago with their new growth hanging out all over the place.


5. When your hairstylist asks, �Girl when I put this weave in your hair?�If your own stylist can�t remember chances are she�s hinting that your weave has lived its life and nature has taken its new groth course its time to take it down get a much need shampoo, deep conditioning and trim.
