PREPARING FOR HAIR WEAVING

Each cornrow is created by taking a small section of hair and dividing it into three equal parts. These sections are then crossed over each other, gradually adding hair from the sides as the braid progresses towards the ends The cornrows are braided tightly and neatly, ensuring that the natural hair is secure and that the braids lay flat against the scalp. The ends of the cornrows are secured with rubber bands or hair clips to prevent them from unraveling

When installing a bonding or fusion weave, a slightly different approach is taken to create the base Instead of creating cornrows, a thin layer of protective oil or gel is applied along the hairline and parting lines to safeguard the natural hair and scalp. This layer acts as a barrier between the scalp and any adhesive or bonding products used during the installation, preventing irritation. The adhesive or bonding products are carefully applied to the roots of the natural hair, ensuring an even and secure attachment

It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific adhesive or bonding product being used, as different products may have varying application techniques and drying times

Attaching and Securing the Weave

Properly attaching and securing the weave is crucial for a comfortable and long-lasting installation. This ensures that the extensions blend seamlessly with the natural hair and remain securely in place, even with regular styling and everyday activities For a sew-in weave, the hair weft or extension is aligned with the cornrow base.
