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.
Love Kelly's hair in this picture, perfect color and blend for her
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!!!
speak on it! i myself just started wearing weaves and although i slightly disagree with the "no multi-colors" rule, i agree 103% with everything else! wearing a weave should NEVER define you let alone be your end all be all. they are cool is u want a quick change up but don't forget about what God gave u up underneath that thing. lolz be sure to let your hair breathe for about two weeks in between weaves and keep all ya homiez guessing what you are gonna do next!
