Ten Steps to Your Successful Summer Weave

1. For curly styles, I recommend synthetic hair. This hair holds up well in water and you have to do very little to it to keep it up!

2. If you are rocking braids or sewn in styles, be sure your stylist isn't pulling your braids too tight! This can cause pain, loss of hair (esp around the hairline), and scalp damage!

3. Take care of your own hair! Take your weave out every 2-3 weeks if bonded in to shampoo and deep condition your hair. If your hair is sewn in, shampoo and use a light spray leave in on your hair and scalp weekly.

4. Seabreeze works beautifully as a scalp cleanser and stimulator!

5. Between weaves, my best pick for shampoo and DEEP conditionong is Nioxin. They have a formula for chemically treated hair and one for natural hair. This shampoo and conditioner is designed to replenish thinning hair and is great to maintain thickness and the health of your hair while you are wearing weaves.

6. Feel free to express yourself with color! Other people don't define your beauty, you do!

7. A good cut makes your weave easier to deal with and style. Go for layers or a cute bob!

8. Its hot yall! So be sure your stylist installs your weave so that you can rock a cute ponytail! Please don't have to raise up the back of your gorgoues hair, only to reveal tracks, naps and everything else! And don't for get to get an edge! Please!

9.Do it yourselfers! Stay away from CREME bonding glue! It does not hold up well against heat, sweat or anything! I have seen very embarassing accidents because of the wrong glue!

10. Choose a style that compliments you! What you see on someone else is not guaranteed to look like that on you. Ask your stylist his/her opinion, if she says its not for you, ask her how you both can switch it up to make it for you!
