It is extremely important to cleanse your weaving hair and scalp properly when wearing extensions in order to keep bacteria and fungus at bay.Malaysian body wave hair has a high shine.If you are a person who desires that ultra-shiny,silky look,then Malaysian hair is for you.However,with time and a couple of washes,the hair will slowly lose that high shine and have a natural shine Properly washing your hair also ensures that your weave does not tangle,while also assisting in maintaining proper hair growth.
Maintaining clean hair,while wearing a weave is not a difficult task.If you know the various tricks and routines that work to keep your hair looking neat and tidy after a wash,it's fairly easy to do.There are several steps for cleansing and washing your malaysian hair sew in that contains added,sewn-in extensions.
Daily care consists of 3 parts - protecting,styling and maintaining.
Protecting - Before you start styling your hair in the morning the very first thing you must do is moisturise.The amount of moisturising you need to do is dependent on how good your night time routine is,the type of virgin hair you have and how old the hair is.Spray your virgin hair with a light moisturiser (you can mix conditioner and water in a spray bottle to make your own).If your night time routine is great and you've followed all the tips below then this should be very easy for you.Spray the hair very lightly and rub in with your fingers,comb through the hair with a wide tooth comb then spray again until the hair is softer.Complete this stage by adding 2 drops of Argan oil or Olive oil (or any oil you prefer) to your palms and rubbing it all over especially on the ends.Make sure this is done before styling your hair - if done well you may not even need to style the hair at all - it just falls into place
Tips,Lightly wet the hair with a spray bottle,then using a weave brush or wide tooth comb,gently work from ends to root.Kinky Curly Malaysian hair usually has a drier hair texture so while the hair is wet gently smooth over a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to help prevent frizzing throughout the day.Be careful not to use an excessive amount.Use alcohol-free products,low heat settings on hair tools,and heat protectant products for extra protection.Do not brush through hair when it is dry because it will cause frizz.If needed,work through with a large wide tooth comb.
Styling - When styling your virgin hair make sure that you are using the right tools for the job.Try to avoid tough bristle brushes to style your hair as this can scratch the hair cuticle.Once the hair cuticle becomes excessively scratched or damaged the hair will start to clump together,tangle and matte.Virgin hair is less resistant to the scratching of the bristle brush than your real hair is.So if you want to keep the hair strands smooth and silky,avoid the bristle brush.Great alternatives include a paddle brush with coated tips and wide tooth combs
If you choose to tie your hair up,make sure you avoid using elastic bands.The elastic band is any type of hair's worst nightmare.It grabs the hair and rips it out,even if you are really careful.A great alternative is to use a medium/thick hairband without the metal grip or grips and clips.Style your hair carefully.When detangling your hair after a shower,start with the bottom of the extension and work your way up to reduce pulling at the hair.Never perm or color hair extensions on your own.If you want another style or color,your stylist can sew in extensions that already have the style and color you want.Use heated styling tools sparingly to prevent extensions from becoming dry and brittle.
Maintaining - you worry that your hair may not keep its style throughout the day so you carry in your handbag a collection of combs and tools to attack the hair with every 30 minutes without realising.Stop it! Stop brushing it so much,stop running your hands through it all the time just leave it alone and let it look pretty.Remember - virgin hair cuticles are not attached to a scalp so they will not be getting any of the natural oils and nutrients your scalp would normally give your real hair.
Tips,Gently brush or comb hair using a hair extension brush (loop) or wide tooth comb starting from ends working your way up to the root.Use alcohol-free products,low heat settings on hair tools,and heat protectant products for extra protection.
Now We are not saying you should go around looking like a wild animal,if your hair needs taming then do so.Always see if you can sort it out with your fingers first and if not then bring out the brush,but make sure you start from the bottom and work your way up with the brush or comb.
