Maintenance:

Your client no longer has a head of Black hair because it is all wound

away except for the hairline, and only the weave hair is left out so your

client now has a whole head of Oriental hair. This means that your

client’s daily maintenance will have to change, at present your client is

most probably using a lot of moisturiser on her natural hair and scalp.

Moisturiser and weave hair just do not mix, especially the curly weave

where moisturising can cause tangles and matting. So, there is a need to

use a new method of maintenance that will be beneficial to the client’s

own hair and the weave hair.

First let’s deal with the client’s own hair. All of the client’s own hair

except the hairline will be wound away and protected the whole time she

is wearing the weave. The retightening process cancels out the need to

relax the new growth as it is wound away. It may still be nesacery to

relax and moisturise the client’s natural hairline.

To retighten, just open the Instant Weave clip wind away the new growth

and re-close the clip. This process should be carried out every six to ten

weeks. Finally, after one year remove and replace the Instant-Weave, or

just relax all the new growth, because it will have grown ten inches while

it has been wound away. As for moisturising the client’s scalp, initially

there may be some itching and you will want to try moisturising, try to

resist this, because after a week or so your scalp will start to produce

natural oils for itself.
