Scalp and Hair Assessment

Before proceeding with the hair weave installation, it is essential to assess the scalp and natural hair to ensure that they are in optimal condition. Here are some key factors to consider during the assessment:

Scalp Health: Examine the scalp for any signs of scalp conditions, such as dandruff, psoriasis, or eczema If any issues are present, it is recommended to address them before the weave installation to prevent further irritation or discomfort. Consult a dermatologist or trichologist if necessary

Hair Density and Texture: Determine the density and texture of the natural hair to select the appropriate hair extensions for a seamless blend. Hair extensions should closely match the natural hair in terms of density and texture to achieve a natural-looking result Consider consulting with a professional hairstylist for guidance in selecting the right extensions.

Hair Strength and Length: Assess the strength and length of the natural hair to determine its capacity to support the weight and tension of the hair weave Fragile or damaged hair may require additional care or strengthening treatments before the installation. Ensure that the natural hair is long enough to provide a secure base for attaching the hair extensions

Scalp Sensitivity: Take note of any scalp sensitivities or allergies to adhesive or bonding products. Perform a patch test with the chosen adhesive or bonding agent to ensure that no adverse reactions occur If scalp sensitivity is a concern, explore alternative attachment methods that minimize scalp contact with adhesives.
