Remy human hair weaves are protective hairstyles, yes, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to maintain or protect them! You could easily lose your edges if you’re not careful, and the most common way this happens is when you don’t protect your leave out.

That could mean curling your hair constantly for that perfect curl pattern, or mercilessly pressing them down with a flat iron for that straight as an arrow look. Whatever you do, it leaves your hair a little stressed. So how do you avoid that stress? Well, you can use some of the hairdo’s mentioned below to give your hair weave a bit of a break.

So ultimately, they save more time than other faux locks! 2. They’re Super Secure The other plus point about sew-ins is that they are stable. The sewed wig won’t budge f...

Human hair weave  may be a protective style, but that doesn’t mean you can just ignore your real hair while wearing one! Take care of your hair when wearing extensions so it grows out healthy and beautiful under the weave. Here are some of the ways you can keep your hair well protected.

Have a straight weave? You can easily switch up its style by making it wavy. Here are a few ways you can turn your straight Remy human hair weave  wav y. Use a Curling Iron to Style Your Hair Weave Heat styling is best suited to natural Remy human hair weaves . Avoid using this technique on synthetic weaves.

While you’re curling the bottom of your hair, leave it out at the bottom – this should give you a curlier and more polished look. Keep curling until your weave is totally wavy, and then run your fingers through the hair gently so any tight curls loosen into waves. Wear Flexi-Rod...
