There are several methods to apply weaves/hair extensions, but since your question is in Beauty, Hair, & Sewing, I'll explain the sew-in method:
The hair is braided and with a needle & thread, the weft of hair is literally sewed onto the head via cornrow/braid. Sounds confusing but it really isn't. Depending on how sensitive you are and how tight your braids are, this can hurt or feel like nothing. If this is your first time having your hair braided, the braids may seem a little tight, which causes pressure. If this happens to you, tell your stylist. It's better to have the problem fixed immediately rather than having to take it all out. No pain whatsoever should come from the needle due to it not coming near nor puncturing skin.
First there are 5 ways you can add tracks to your hair.
First there is a sew-in where you braid your hair up then sew-in the tracks through the braids.
Second there is quick weave where you gel your hair down and let it dry then put a weave cap on then you glue the hair in a circular like shape then you would have to do a closure.
Third you can just glue hair straight to your hair and do not glue it on the scalp because your scalp would not be able to breathe your hair is like a human
Fourth there are infusions where they take a glue gun and glue the weave to your hair
Fifth there are braids like micros, cornrows, kinki twists and etc.
black people or white people who want to be black
First & most importantly, just about every race gets weaves, not just black. Anyway, women wear weaves for several reasons:Longer hairThicker hairConvenienceChanging hair colour/adding highlightsProtective stylingDifferent styles without cutting/damaging your own hair
Yes. But weaving alot may cause thinning hair..
Not ALL black girls wear weaves. That's the same as saying why do ALL white girls put extensions in their hair?
It depends upon the size and quality of the weaves. Choose Sassy Celebrity Weaveso get good celebrity weaves in resonable price.
