So I have come to the conclusion: there will never be a perfect weave - or one that does what it says on the package.
First of all, when your purchasing your first weave or trying another brand of hair; you have to keep your guard up to not be disappointed in the end.
No matter how luxurious the brand is/how much you pay, no hair or weave will ever be 100% perfect. The best way to find the hair you love is to test many different brands of hair - Let me tell, it took me a long time before I found hair that actually met my standards.
My standards of "Good Hair"
- Does not become straw like after wash.
- Has minimal shedding.
- The color of the hair will not wash out when washed.
- Has little>no tangling.
- Good for multiple installations.
- If "Virgin" can be dyed, or styled without turning nasty.
- 100% human hair
What to expect in a weave
- No Tangling: Trust me, all hair tangles. I have tried luxurious brands of hair > to lower brands of hair and they all tangled. But for a good weave tangling should be very minimal, and nothing to rigorous that you wouldn't be able to fix with a comb and hair oil. Never sleep with your hair freely if you have clips take them out, but if you have a sew in braid the into two braids and then wrap in a scarf so no tangling is created while your asleep.
- No shedding: ALL HAIR WILL SHED, it's just something you have to be used to. (No matter what you pay or what brand it is, it will shed). Hair extensions are wefted together to make a weave, so there's no chance all the hairs could be wefted on. There may be some that shed less but never expect it to never shed. But thank god to weft sealers.
- Gray hairs: Hair donors range from old to young, but don't freak at least you know you have real human hair, just kidding. If the gray hairs are minimal they could be plucked out, but another alternative it to give the hair a color bath. But never FREAK OUT you may just have hair from an older donor, but it happens.
- Minimal care effort: This is the reason some YouTube gurus can't be trusted. With any weave comes with extra care a weave should be cared for likes a baby. A weave doesn't receive any nutrients or proteins your own hair gets, so for any styling you do give it extra love. And with better care comes with a longer use.
So here this post comes to an end, I hope I helped someone with their weave, but happy thanksgiving here I am eating pie.
