After correct installation, crochet braids can last anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks, averaging around 4 weeks. However, one major drawback of crochet braids is that you must take extra care when washing them. If you wash them like washing your own hair, there is a risk of loosening the knots and hair extensions may fall off. Sometimes people choose not to wash their crochets at all. You can probably get away with this if you do not leave them in for too long, but for those who prefer washing, the simplest way is to use a spray bottle.
After spraying your scalp with shampoo solution, lightly massage your scalp and co-wash your natural hair and synthetic hair extensions together very gently. Then, spray a leave-in conditioner onto your scalp. Finish by adding a moisturizer to your hair and sealing it with hair oil.
The second method is purchasing a Jheri curl weave. There are different variations of this type of wig; here, we will use a lace frontal wig as an example.
Unlike crochet hair extensions, weaves are almost always made up of human hair, which guarantees that your hair will look beautiful and natural. A lace frontal wig is composed of a frontal hairpiece and additional hair bundles that are later attached to the hairpiece. The frontal has a strip of hand-knotted lace sized 13x4 inches that covers your full hairline from ear to ear. This undetectable lace front reproduces a soft, seamless hairline such that its hair looks as if it grew off from your own scalp.
After attaching additional Jheri curl hair bundles, you now have a full, kinky bob wig! Compared to crochet braids, lace frontal wigs offer more versatility because you can style your hair however you want as you would do with normal hair.
You can even dye your wig whatever colour you like. The washing procedure is similar to washing your own hair too. The best thing is no matter what you choose to do to your weave, it will leave your natural hair intact. Absolutely zero worries about damaging your own hair! Lace frontal wigs also require less maintenance. They tend to last longer than crochet braids, usually 8 weeks or more, sometimes even over 1 year.
One thing to mention is that weaves tend to be more costly. That being said, compared to other hairstyles, Jheri curl weaves are curly and bouncy, so they require fewer hair bundles to complete. This makes them less expensive than other types of weaves. Overall, a Jheri curl weave the best option for someone who prefers a hassle-free experience and is seeking a long-lasting investment piece. After all, changing your hairstyle should be a fun and refreshing experience, not tedious and draining!
Whether you like to wear your weave in a beanie or with your favourite bandana, maintaining a natural look with your Jheri curl weave is important to make sure your hair always looks gorgeous and glowing. Correct maintenance is key. In general, Jheri curl weaves are prone to becoming dry and brittle, so although washing is important, try not to overdo it. Excessive shampooing strips the hair fibres of their natural oils, causing the curls to dry out even more.
You should look out for two labels on your shampoo: sulphate-free and alcohol-free. Applying these chemicals to your weave can damage it further. Just like with your own hair, you should be mindful of what your weave is exposed to and avoid harsh chemicals.
Deep conditioning is essential when combating dryness, frizz, or dandruff. Try to deep condition with a hair mask at least once a week and distribute the oil through your hair evenly with a bristle hairbrush.
Again, avoid products that contain sulphate and alcohol. Another tip to keep in mind is to refrain from overusing blow dryers.
Exposing your weave to heat can increase frizz and promote dryness. Try to air-dry your Jheri curl wig as much as possible. Another essential factor that affects how natural your weave looks is the quality of the weave itself.
In addition to these materials, you'll need activator aka Jheri juice, which keeps the curls looking moist and tight and a shower cap. Making Jheri curls the classic way requires using chemicals that can cause permanent damage to your hair. If you apply the chemicals incorrectly, use too much, or overdo it in any way, your hair could become dry and brittle, and it might even break.
This extreme hair damage is one reason why people stopped making Jheri curls the classic way in the mid-nineties. If you want the Jheri curl look without the harsh chemicals, skip down to the next section. You might want to consider having your Jheri curls put in at a salon instead of doing them yourself. You're essentially giving yourself a perm, which requires some skill and knowledge of hair.
Whether you have your hair done at a salon or do it yourself at home, you'll need regular touch ups. Treat your hair with softener. Follow the instructions to apply the softener that came with your Jheri curl kit. Smooth it all over your hair and smooth out your hair as much as possible. Leave the softener in for the allotted amount of time.
This will relax your natural curls and get your hair ready to be permed. Apply the setting solution and roll your hair up in perm rods. Following the directions in your package, saturate your hair with setting solution, divide it into sections and roll it up in the perm rods. Secure each rod and use more setting solution to begin the process of permanently curling your hair. Perm rods come in lots of different sizes. Choose the size that you want your curls to be.
Also consider the length of your hair and how long you want the curls to be when choosing perm rods. Leave the perm rods in for the specified amount of time and rinse well. Don't leave them in too long; the setting solution contains damaging chemicals that can really harm your hair if you overdo it. When time is up, rinse the solution out of your hair for at least 10 minutes. Maintain the curls with the curl activator. Apply it to your hair and use your fingers to create defined curls.
It's important to keep your hair moisturized all day long, since otherwise it will become very brittle and dry. Use the activator on your hair at night and wear a shower cap to keep your pillow from getting messy. Method 2. Use gentle, chemical-free shampoo. Shampoos containing sulfates, alcohols, and plastics are tough on African-American hair, causing it to become brittle and break more easily.
Using a chemical-free shampoo keeps the hair shaft strong, providing a good foundation for natural, soft curls.
Use a leave-in conditioner. Moisture is key when it comes to defined curls. While your hair is still wet, cover it with a good natural leave-in conditioner that contains nourishing ingredients like shea butter and argan oil. These trap moisture in to keep your hair soft. Section your hair into several parts. This will make it easier to twist your curls into shape. Each one will need to be shaped individually.
Hold the sections apart using clips. Apply curling custard or cream to the first section. Find a curling cream or custard that works well for your hair type. Curling cream or curling custard are products made with natural ingredients that promote soft, shiny curls.
Apply plenty of product to the first section, using your fingers and a wide-tooth comb to smooth it through. Flat-twist your hair. Divide the section into three sections. Twist each section, then twist the three sections together.
Roll up the twist in a perm curler. Roll it from the tips to all the way to your scalp, and secure the curler there. Repeat with the rest of your hair. If over-applied or improperly applied, it can result in brittle and dry hair making the strands delicate. Therefore, it is advisable to get this hairstyle done at a salon as it requires skills and knowledge. Maintenance of a hairstyle can be difficult than getting it.
