Do's & Dont's: Reasons why no one should have a BAD weave

Now I don't have a problem with wearing weave because I wear weave myself.  What I do have a problem with is BAD weaves.  Since I have been out and about lately I have been noticing some women who wear weaves, but are not taking care of them.  There are many ways to maintain a weave, and here are some tips that might help....

Tip 1  

Don't:  STOP TREATING YOU WEAVE LIKE A WEAVE!!...Weaves can not take care of themselves, I know it looks good the first day, but it does not stay that way for long.

Do: Take care of your weave like it is your hair growing out of your scalp.  Wash your weave with the good shampoo and conditioner, buy that good flat iron.  When I have my weave in I try to wash it every 2 weeks, just to give it a fresh look.

Tip 2
Don't: Try not to be cheap with your weave. Sometimes cheap weave can lead to bad weaves.

Do: Yes some weaves can get a little pricey but you are better off getting a higher end weave and reusing it, instead of always buying the cheap hair every one to two months. 

Tip 3

Don't: Have two different colors in your hair.  If your real hair is black, do NOT put a blonde weave in your hair.

Do: Try your best to make your weave look natural.  Blend...Blend..Blend.  If your are going to wear a weave own it and maintain it as if it is your own.

Tip 4

And last but not least the biggest tip that I can give is to not let your weave be your security blanket.   For years I have held onto my weave, because it made me feel prettier, or I wanted to fit in, or I just felt naked without it.  But the other day I thought to my self that it is time for a life style change, and as you will see in the next couple of post coming up I will be preparing my self for a challenge......so stay tuned!!!
