What Are Hair Weaves And How To Weave Hair?

Hair weaves are extensions used to enhance the length, volume, or style of natural hair. Usually made from human hair, they come in various textures, colours, and lengths. Hair weaves are attached to the natural hair through sewing, gluing, or clipping, and the natural hair is often braided or otherwise prepared to create a secure foundation. The process of applying a weave can take time and may need the expertise of a professional hairstylist.

Hair weaves are popular for allowing significant changes in hairstyle without the need to cut or chemically treat your natural hair. They can be styled in many ways, from long, flowing hair to elegant updos. Additionally, hair weaves serve as a protective style, shielding natural hair from damage caused by environmental factors, heat, or harsh chemicals. However, it is essential to maintain proper care to keep both the weave and the underlying natural hair healthy.

Types of Hair Weaves

Hair weaves are available in various types, each offering unique features and advantages. By learning about these different types, individuals can choose the one that best aligns with their personal style and hair care requirements.

  • Sew-In Weaves: These weaves are applied over the entire head by first braiding the natural hair into cornrows, then sewing the hair wefts onto the braids with a needle and thread.
  • Bonded Weaves: Bonded weaves, also called glue-in weaves, are installed by attaching hair wefts to natural hair with adhesive glue.
  • Clip-In Weaves: Clip-in weaves provide a non-permanent way to add length, volume, or colour to your hair. These extensions are secured to natural hair with small clips.
  • Fusion or Pre-Bonded Weaves: Fusion weaves use a heating tool to bond individual hair strands or small bundles to natural hair, creating a secure attachment.
  • Micro-Link or Micro-Bead Weaves: Micro-link weaves attach hair wefts to small sections of natural hair using tiny metal rings or beads, avoiding the need for braiding or glue.
  • Tape-In Weaves: Tape-in weaves use double-sided tape to secure hair wefts to natural hair, offering a semi-permanent solution that sits flat against the scalp.
  • Net Weaves: Net weaves are created by sewing a net over braided natural hair, and then attaching hair wefts to the net for added durability and a secure fit.

The Processing Steps for Non-Remy Hair Extensions in Australia

1. Sew-In Weaves: This is a popular type of weave, where the stylist braids the natural hair into cornrows across the head and then sews the weave into these braids with a needle and thread. Sew-in weaves are widely chosen for their durability and versatility in styling.

2. Glue-In Weaves: As implied by the name, glue-in weaves are applied using a special hair adhesive. While this method is convenient, improper removal can damage natural hair. Glue-in weaves are typically advised for short-term use, like for special occasions.

3. Clip-In Weaves: Clip-in weaves are the easiest type of hair weave to use, featuring clips that quickly fasten to natural hair. This weave option is ideal for anyone looking to temporarily add length or volume.

4. Fusion Weaves: Fusion weaves are the most long-lasting type of hair weave. They are applied to small sections of natural hair using keratin bonding, providing a very natural appearance. However, this method can be expensive and time-consuming to apply.

5. Net Weaves: Net weaves involve sewing a net over the braided hair, onto which the weave is attached. This method can help protect natural hair and promote its overall health and growth.

Selecting the appropriate type of hair weave largely depends on your lifestyle, the condition of your hair, and your personal preferences. Each type has its unique advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to evaluate these factors before making a choice. While hair weaves can be an excellent way to change your appearance and protect your natural hair, proper care is crucial for keeping your underlying hair healthy. Make a thoughtful choice and explore the many options that hair weaves provide!

What is Weaving Hair?

Weaving hair, or hair extensions, is a technique that adds length, volume, or various hairstyles to a person's natural hair. This method consists of attaching either synthetic or human hair to the individual’s existing hair. There are different methods and types of hair extensions available, including:

Sewing or Braiding

Sewing or braiding is a widely used method for applying hair weaves. In this technique, commonly used for sew-in weaves, the natural hair is tightly braided into cornrows or other designs on the scalp. The hair extensions are then stitched onto the braids with a needle and thread, creating a stable foundation for the weave. This method is popular due to its durability and versatility in supporting different hairstyles.

Sewing and Braiding
Clip In Extension

Clip-In Extensions

Clip-in extensions are a popular hair weave option suitable for all hair types, from straight to curly, thanks to their convenience and temporary nature. These extensions feature small clips that can be easily and securely attached to your natural hair. They are ideal for those looking to add length, volume, or colour without the commitment of a permanent weave. Additionally, clip-ins can be applied at home, making them an affordable and accessible choice for many. Maintaining clip-in extensions is also straightforward, as they can be removed at night and reapplied whenever needed.

Glue-In Extensions

Glue-in extensions, also referred to as bonding or fusion weaves, are attached to natural hair using a special adhesive. This method involves applying a keratin-based adhesive to the tip of the extension and using a hot tool to melt the glue, securely fusing the extension to a small section of your hair. While this technique offers a very secure and natural appearance, it should be applied and removed by a professional to prevent damage to your natural hair. Glue-in extensions require careful maintenance and are typically recommended for short-term use or special events. Additionally, the adhesive may cause allergic reactions, so a patch test is advised before full application.

Glue In Extension
Tape In Extension

Tape-In Extensions

Tape-in extensions are a newer type of hair weave that has become popular because they are easy to install and lightweight. These extensions feature thin, pre-taped hair wefts that are placed between sections of natural hair. This method does not require heat or glue, making it gentler on the natural hair. Tape-in extensions are recognized for their seamless appearance, as they lie flat against the scalp and blend well with natural hair.

Fusion Extensions

Fusion extensions, often referred to as keratin bonds or pre-bonded extensions, are a premium choice for individuals wanting permanent length and volume. This method entails attaching small strands of extension hair to sections of your natural hair using keratin bonds. Each bond is heated and rolled around the natural hair to create a seamless appearance. The result is very natural-looking, as the extensions blend seamlessly with your hair.

Fusion
Micro Extension

Micro-Link Extensions

Micro-link extensions, sometimes called micro-bead or I-tip extensions, are a type of hair weave that provides a more permanent option without using glue, heat, or tape. These extensions are attached to the natural hair with small beads or tubes lined with silicone. The extension hair is available in small bundles, each with a solid but flexible keratin tip shaped like an "I." The natural hair goes through the bead, and the extension is then inserted into that same bead. A specialized tool is used to clamp the bead, securing the extension in place. Micro-link extensions offer a natural, flowing look as they are attached one strand at a time, allowing for a wide range of styling possibilities.

The Importance of Professional Installation

Weaving hair is often chosen by people looking to change their hairstyle quickly without having to wait for their natural hair to grow or to enhance thickness and volume. Whether you want to style your weave in waves or keep it straight, it’s crucial to have it installed by a professional to ensure proper application and avoid damaging your natural hair. Regular maintenance and care are also vital to keep the extensions looking great and protect your natural hair from damage.

Weaving Hair Frequently Asked Questions

To maintain a traditional weave, wash it regularly using a mild shampoo and conditioner. It's important to avoid excessive heat styling and to protect the hair while swimming or exercising. Additionally, regular moisturizing is recommended to prevent dryness and breakage.

Yes, you can swim and exercise while wearing a traditional weave, but it's important to protect the hair by using a swim cap or tying it back in a ponytail. It's also advisable to wash and condition the hair afterward.

To prevent damage to your hair or scalp, it's important to have a professional stylist handle the removal of a traditional weave. Trying to do it yourself may lead to pulling or cutting the hair, causing pain, discomfort, and potential harm to the weave.

The number of bundles in 200 grams of hair can vary based on the weight of each bundle. Generally, a single bundle weighs between 95 and 105 grams. Assuming an average bundle weight of 100 grams, 200 grams of hair would equal about 2 bundles. However, this can change slightly depending on the actual weight of the individual bundles. It’s important to check with your hair extension supplier to understand the specific weight of the bundles they provide.

Yes, hair weaves can be worn straight. To achieve a smooth look, you can use a hair straightener on your weaves just like you would with your natural hair. For optimal results, make sure the hair straightener is set to a safe temperature, usually between 300 and 350°F, to avoid damaging the hair. Always apply a heat protectant before styling to preserve the hair’s quality. This technique allows you to switch up your style while keeping the hair strands aligned for a natural appearance.

After hair straightenering your weave, it's essential to maintain it properly to keep it looking fresh and vibrant. Use a low-heat setting on your hair straightener to prevent damaging the hair. Applying a heat protectant spray is also important to reduce heat damage. At night, wrap your hair or wear a silk bonnet to minimize friction and avoid tangling.

To keep your weave looking stylish and healthy when worn straight, apply a light serum or natural oil regularly to maintain moisture. Gently brush the hair with a soft bristle brush to keep it smooth and tangle-free. Be sure to brush in the same direction as the hair to prevent matting and maintain a sleek look.

Most types of hair weaves, especially those made from human hair, can be styled with a hair straightener. When using a hair straightener, it’s important to adjust the temperature based on the hair type to avoid damage. Begin with a lower heat setting and increase it gradually if needed. Always make sure the hair is dry and use a thermal protectant before applying direct heat to maintain the hair's quality and extend its lifespan.

Before using a hair straightener on weaves, make sure the hair is clean and fully dry to avoid heat damage. Apply a thermal protectant to protect the hair from high temperatures. It's essential to hair straightener the hair in small sections to ensure even heat distribution and prevent overheating in any area. Always move the hair straightener in the same direction as the hair to preserve its natural pattern and alignment. Shop Our Collection.
