How to wash your weave properly at home

Weekly salon trips to wash your hair can be costly. So, rather get the right products and do it yourself. Here is a guide on how to wash it like a pro:

Step 1

Brush your hair. Divide the weave into 8 to 10 sections and plait them from root to tip.  Carefully wet the hair from the scalp to the ends, without rubbing the plaits.

Step 2

Apply shampoo on the scalp, then to the plaits individually with a light tapping motion. Rinse carefully from the scalp to the ends, without undoing the plaits.

Step 3

Apply a conditioner on the scalp, then to the plaits individually. Undo each plait as you apply.

Step 4

Rinse carefully without rubbing the hair. Tap-dry with a towel, but don’t rub. Leave the hair to air-dry instead of blow-drying it.
