Weaves can be made of various materials including synthetic, man-made, and natural hair. They are also known by different names depending on the country they are produced in, such as kinky, cornstarch, super glue, wavy weave, or braided weaves. Fabric weaves are a relatively new development that use a combination of synthetic and human hair to create the weaves. All other types of weaves are created from natural human hair, which are separated from one another using heat or chemicals, then woven together to form the weaves.
Synthetic hair weaves are also called braided weaves. These are created by weaving the synthetic hair into the scalp. A variety of synthetic fabrics are used for this purpose including nylon, silk, polyester, rayon, and acrylic. Hair weaves sewn onto natural hair are referred to as natural hair weaves or human weaves. The process of creating this type of weave is a combination of weaving the natural material and applying adhesives to the hair, then folding the material into the desired shape. Adding different hair colors to the weaves creates a stunning look that is seamless and can easily be styled.
Another popular option for hair extension weaves is hair extensions that are sewn onto existing hair. Hair extensions are simply pieces of hair that are attached to natural scalp hair with sewing. This process of attaching hair extensions is known as fusion technique. The hair strands are often pre-strung before the weaves are applied. This method of application is very inexpensive and a popular choice for those who desire natural looking weaves without the high cost of bonded extensions.
Some women prefer to have a full head weaves performed by a professional stylist every two weeks. A qualified, licensed stylist will apply the weaves using the correct techniques for the type of hair loss condition being treated. Each session usually lasts approximately 90 minutes and can be performed in one or two visits.
In addition to full head weaves there are also wigs available for the wearers who would like to cover only certain parts of their head. Wigs are typically made from synthetic fibers similar to plastic. These wigs cannot be machine washed and there is a risk of infection if the wefts are not properly cleaned. To care for the wigs, a weaver may recommend the wefts to be washed regularly with warm water and a mild shampoo. It is also important to read the manufacturer instructions on how to wash the wigs.
There are several types of hair extensions available. The most common form is the standard hair weave, which is a type of weave with a flat bottom and can be sewn in a variety of textures. Another form is the textured weaves that can be woven through multiple layers of hair using a combination of texture and color. The third type of weave is the fusion weaves which combine the benefits of both the standard and textured weaves. These hair extensions contain the protein keratin that is found in human hair and can provide the wearer with a more uniform appearance.
Some of the most popular hair extensions are the weaves with sewn in cuticles. A weft of pure hair is wrapped around a fiber, such as wool, and is attached at the scalp with clasps or Velcro. The wearer has the ability to determine the level of cuticle hair that will be included in the weave; the more cuticle hair the weaver will use, the more uniform the appearance of the weave will be.
Braided hair extensions have been very popular in the past and these are now making a comeback. There are many different styles and forms of braided weaves available to the consumer. Synthetic fiber braided hair extensions can also be created using any type of natural hair and synthetic fiber braids can be created using human hair as well. These synthetic braids can be sewn in or braided, depending upon the preference of the wearers. Regardless of which weave type is used in the synthetic braided hair extensions, the wearers of these extensions feel that they provide better looks, more durability and better results than the natural weaves.
