Any Good Hair Sites?

I'm african american and I have an appointment next week to get a hair weave. I have plenty of magazines with nice styles but I was wondering there were any websites that offer styles as well as tips on how to manage weave after I get it.

Plus this is my very first weave. I like to keep my hair short but this summer I would like to try something different.

Any Good Hair Sites?

For weaves, I love www.hairsisters.com. It not only sells hair and products, but it also gives reviews from people who have bought them before, so you can buy the best kind of weave. I also love www.treasuredlocks.com. It answers your questions about natural, relaxed, and weave hair. They also sell products, but they don't push you to buy them. Just click on reading room, and go to FAQs.

Important Care Practices

Wash the hair in the shower taking care to keep the hair hanging loose.

Avoid cheap shampoos as they tend to contain more detergent than conditioners and will dry out the hair. Use a salon quality shampoo. Not all salon products should be used with hair extensions. See our list of recommended products below.

Avoid cheap conditioners as the conditioners tend to be watered down giving less than the needed amount of conditioning to keep the hair from drying out. Remember that this hair is not growing out of the scalp and is not being replenished with natural oils.

Distribute shampoo and condioners evenly throughout the hair. Squeeze the product through the hair. Avoid scrubbing, rubbing or bunching the hair together. Condition the hair well with a good creme based conditioner.

NOTE: If you are planning to use a hair bonding product, shampoo the hair well but do not use any conditioners or styling products prior to applying the extensions. Condition the hair well after the extensions are in.

After washing and conditioning apply a good spray leave on conditioning product. Use this product to freshen the hair between washing. Never use plain water.

Pat excess water from the hair and allow the hair to dry completely before going to bed. Never sleep with with the hair wet or damp.

Let the hair air dry whenever possible

If you use a blow dryer, dry out the wefted part of the hairpiece first. Then finish drying the hair from the ends up. Avoid pulling the hair while wet.

Avoid using excess heat

Loosen hair every morning and before going to bed. Most tightly curled styles should never be combed. Shake out curly styles, comb through straight styles and use a wide tooth comb or fingers to loosen wavy hair.

Avoid applying direct heat to the bonded area.

Salt from perspiration, if allowed to buildup on the hair will strip the hair making it hard and brittle. If you excercise, make a practice of rinsing and conditioning the hair after each workout. Shampooing after a workout is not always necessary.

Use a mild stringent on the scalp in between washings. Witch hazel works well.

If you use a blow dryer use one with a diffusing tool to better circulate the heat.

If you have bonded extensions, avoid applying heat to the bonded areas

Most hair extensions have been processed. For this reason, we don't recommend you color hair extensions. If you find you must color to get a better color match, try coloring your natural hair to match the hair piece. Additional chemical treatment on hair extensions can make the hair frizzy dull and difficult to manage.
