HOW TO TAKE CARE OF KINKY CURLY WEAVES

Just like natural curly hair, kinky curly weaves requires specific maintenance. Discover all our advice.

Wash it gently

To wash weaves, a watchword: delicacy. To do this, mix your shampoo with water in a bottle and then run the mixture on your already wet hair. Gently massage your scalp to distribute the product and rinse thoroughly with cold or lukewarm water. Remember to respect the demarcations between your wicks to prevent them from tangling. You can also apply conditioner using the same technique - it will make your hair shiny and easier to comb.

Tip: Choose a mild shampoo (with neutral pH) and without sulfates.

Let your weaves air dry

Once your weaves are clean, press the tips upwards to shape your curls. Dab your extensions with a terry towel and untangle them with your fingers and a wide-tooth comb. The best is then to let your weave air dry. If you are in a hurry and wear natural extensions you can also use the cold air blast of your hair dryer (the heat promotes the appearance of bad odors). 

Adopt an adapted hair routine

Rubbing against the pillow can damage your weaves: it is therefore essential to protect it before going to sleep. To do this, tie your hair in a slightly loose braid and cover it with a scarf. You can also opt for a silk pillowcase, less aggressive than cotton. In the morning, untie your lengths, slightly moisten them and detangle them delicately, from the tips to the roots.

Tip: If knots resist you, use a little detangling serum to facilitate styling. Also remember to moisturize your lengths regularly with hair oil.
