Weaves are a trendy way to switch your look, add fullness, or shield your natural hair. Many wonder: Do weaves hurt your real hair? It depends on how you apply, care for, and remove them.
When done right, weaves can protect hair from daily styling, heat, and bad weather. They let your hair rest and grow while you try new styles. But if not done well, weaves can cause breakage, thinning, or hair loss.
Tight braids or heavy weaves can strain your scalp. This stress can thin your hairline and make your head hurt. Avoid tight styles and tell your stylist if it hurts during the process.
Not taking care of your hair under the weave can also cause harm. Keep your scalp clean and moist. Let your hair breathe between weaves. Leaving a weave in too long or taking it out wrong can tangle or break your hair.
To avoid damage, use a good stylist, pick quality weave hair, and follow a good hair care plan. Rest your hair between weaves and choose gentle styles.
In short, weaves don't have to harm your hair but they can if ignored. With the right care, weaves can be a fun and safe way to keep your hair healthy and growing.
