Full Weave Care

[trinidarkie1]

Hey ladies!
I have a full weave in with just a little bit out. I dont really manipulate the hair that's out at all. I havent used any heat or anything to keep it flat, a brush once or twice a week and I keep it tied down with a silk scarf.

Applied MTG to the roots once, it wasnt too hot, I guess I have to change from a spray bottle to a dye applicator.

Now I want to wash and DC, how in the world am I going to get that done properly. AND How am I going to get all my hair dry WITHOUT a hood or soft bonnet dryer?

Wash in sections, bring a clip with you in the shower, and apply shampoo to the scalp and gently massage, do not rub. As you rinse out the shampoo it will clean the ends of the weave. Apply a light conditioner to the weave, and your hair that is left out. I dont put any on the scalp. As for drying use a handheld in between each track.

I put a litle shampoo and water in a spray bottle and spray the braids. I do the same with my conditioner when I CW.

You can use a blow dryer....since I wash may hair in the evening I'm often too tired from sitting under the dryer to completely dry my braided hair. The weave will be dry but the braids are damp.

Yeah but the damp braids will stink after a while if they dont dry soon enough.
Talking from experience here.
I guess now that I know so much more about haircare etc I should have a different result.
Thanks ladies

I sweat in my head in a big way. And I lived in a different climate then.
