Curls spell fun, attitude, and are best worn by women who wish to
look bold, beautiful, and confident. Curly hairstyles, whether tight,
wavy, or left loose, are considered a hot trend, and are flaunted by
many celebrities. Well, even if many are not blessed with natural curls,
any hairstylist can transform straight locks into ringlets with ease.
There are a variety of styles in which you can incorporate a curly
weave, where you can even do it yourself at home. For African-American
women (and those who have naturally curly hair), choosing a weave is not
just a style statement, but also a low maintenance hairstyle technique.
Things to Note
Hair
weaves are generally used when you need to add length or thickness to
natural hair. When you decide to go in for a curly weave hairstyle, you
will have to first find a good hairstylist who can do the job with
finesse. Without an experienced hairstylist, any hairdo is headed
straight toward a disaster. Curly weaves need to be worked carefully
into naturally curly or straight hair, without leaving a tangled mess
for a customer to take care of.
The point is, a professional will
know how to put your look together without it falling apart or looking
fake; it has to give others the impression that the weave is your own
hair. Synthetic hair weaves or human hair weaves are available in a
variety of colors and styles, where depending upon the hairstyle you
wish to have, the synthetic/natural hair will be braided with your
original tresses. Stores that offer an exhaustive spread of hair weaves
online, are Blackhairspray, Hairsisters, and Hairfactory, to name a few.
Weaves
can be manipulated through micro braiding, tying it up in a ponytail,
styling cornrows, or making large-sized braids; you can also keep hair
weaves open for a natural left-alone look; you are free to experiment
with any sort of hairdo, after the weave is fixed into place. The
bouncing curls will completely change the way you look and feel. You
will have tons of self-confidence and love to show your new hairstyle
off. You can include hair accessories to accentuate your hairstyle; just
make sure that you keep the overall look intact since you don't want to
go overboard. Curly weaves are a blessing when you wish to opt for a
sassy hairdo and do not really have the time for to let your tresses
grow. Plus, you don't have to wake up every morning and work on your
hairstyle for hours.

Tips for Hair Care
Well, if
you have decided to go in for a curly hair weave, you should also be
aware of the care required to maintain such hairdos. Always use a silk
scarf at night and wrap it around your head while asleep. It will help
to keep your hairdo intact and prevent it from tangling. Curly hair
tends to be difficult to manage during the rainy season, since hair
weaves need more attention and care. You will particularly notice that
curly hair weaves tend turn frizzy at the first sign of humidity.
In
that case, you must use a good conditioner and an anti-frizz serum from
a trusted company - brands like L'Oréal, Redken, and Bed Head (by
TIGI), are some of the best products that can tame frizz effectively,
including Morrocanoil, Mythic oil, or plain old-fashioned coconut oil.
Avoid using the blow dryer too often, since this can worsen the weave's
texture. Choosing the right conditioner is very important for woven
hair; find a brand that works hard to keep weave hair in shape.
A
high quality leave-in conditioner will help to balance moisture levels,
and prevent it from turning dry and bushy. Use a product designed
specifically for long use. There are many techniques used for curly hair
weaving; hair bonding, tracking, the fusion method, or even tree
braiding. Whatever the method, you need to discuss it first with your
hairstylist, before you opt for the technique. This will help you to
understand which one works for you. Many techniques tend to damage the
natural texture of one's hair, so be aware of the flip sides as well.
While hair is moist or damp, avoid brushing it and let it air-dry
instead; detangle hair later using a serum, oil, or leave-in
conditioner.
Simply run your fingers through your hair to
detangle the ends. Always ensure you have a very light and easy-to-use
cream-based moisturizer for your hair. You can use this on your curly
weave hairdo to help retain its natural shine. Woven hair is bonded to
your natural tresses, so be sure to use only high-quality products, and a
good brand of hair weave when you opt for this.
Adding curly
weaves to your hair doesn't just add versatility to your overall look,
it also gives you a chance to make yourself look different from everyone
else. Make sure your hair is washed properly and conditioned thoroughly
before you visit the salon. This way, you can guarantee that your new
hairstyle comes out looking fabulous, every single time.
Use
these tips for curly weave hairstyles and go in for a makeover without
any hassles! Be sure to choose a weave that comes in extension-style
makes, because that way the weave can easily blend in with your natural
hair texture and length. Try not to choose contrasting hair colors for
the weave. A stark difference in colors will be an obvious give-away.
Take advice from as many hairstylists, before going through with this
technique.
