Hair care under your weave

How do I take care off my hair while I’m wearing a sew in? This is a question that I should, but don’t get very often. This post is my plea to all the weave wearers out there. You must take proper care of your hair when wearing a weave. Wearing weaves can promote hair health and hair growth but if done improperly, it can be a disaster.
The first thing you must keep in mind is the health of your hair before your weave install. If your hair is dry, brittle or breaking, installing a weave is not be a good idea. The first thing you should do is to get a deep conditioning treatment(DC) that suits the need of your hair. If you are installing at home, make the sacrifice and get a professional DC, it goes a long way.'
Some tips for your sew-in:
Keep your foundation firm but comfortable. In other words, don’t braids your hair so tight that you can’t blink,smile or make a facial expression. That is a weave crimeand the consequence is not pretty. It can lead to major breakage and scalp damage. Make sure your braids are firm enough to manipulate without coming lose but comfortable enough for you to bend you neck back and forth without discomfort.
Sew-ins should not be kept for more than 8-10 weeks. Keep in mind that your hair is growing underneath the weave and tends to matte up as it grows out. It is also extremely important to keep your hair moisturized while wearing a weave. Spraying your hair with braid spray, leave in conditioner or my aloe vera leave in three to four times a week helps a great deal. Oiling your scalp with olive or coconut oil once a week also helps.
