Long to Short... Short to long.. Black to Blonde... Red to Blonde... You get it...
My hair is cut in a tapered bob. But i love to switch it up sometimes. The style to left is a " Full Cap Weave". Meaning none of my hair showing.
Hair is braided back to minimize stress when combing and day to day wear. Also to make it easy when taking off the cap. You can also have your hair molded down with gel,then apply wrap strips to the molded hair to minimize exposure to glue. A cap is then placed on the either molded or braided hair and then weave is applied with glue.
Many women are afraid of glue, due to the fact that if used wrong it will pull out your hair. But if when removing your cap, you go to the salon, you'll need to sit with a oil/conditioner mix to lossen up the glue. Then remove tracks by massaging them off... NOT PULLING!!! Keep in mind, there will be sheading as most likely this cap has been on your hair from anywhere between 2-4 weeks.. Its not good to keep a cap weave past 4 weeks as your hair beneath may mat up, dry out and become brittle. The benefits though are low maintaince, you'll only need to wrap at night and comb out in the morning or simply wear a silk bonnet. Your hair will get a break from the heat (blow-drying and flat ironing). A chance to grow, basically undisturbed.
