November 15, 2024

It's one thing to treat yourself to gorgeous human hair, and it is another to style it to perfection.

Every. Single. Time. 😋

You know I'll never leave you hanging, right?

That's why I'm gon' to be putting you in on how to get that human hair weave looking fresh, fierce, and full-on fabulous every single day.

Don't worry; it doesn't matter that you're new to the game.

These insider hacks will make you feel like you just stepped out of a salon—no stylist is required!

So grab a mirror, get comfy, and we'll get into the juice of a flawless install.

Prep and Section Like a Pro

I know you're eager to get that weave poppin' but trust me.

Proper prep is the base of a bomb install. Clean, detangled hair is non-negotiable.

So, you want to grab your favorite sulfate-free shampoo and give your hair a fresh start.

A good wash and deep conditioning treatment will make everything smoother and more manageable, with no itching or weird funk.

And if your hair is all moisturized and happy, your installation will feel comfortable and last longer.

Now, about sectioning… this just centers around creating clean lines. All you need to do is divide your hair into sections for a solid base.

Pretty much like building a house- no solid foundation, no staying power.

Simply use a rattail comb to part your hair into neat sections, and make sure each line is even and defined.

And if you choose to leave out a bit of hair around the edges, that little leave-out?

Magic. It'll blend with your weave and keep people guessing if it's all yours. And isn't that the dream?

Stitch with Precision

You might be thinking, "How hard can it be to stitch?"

But girl, this isn't your basic sewing class. You've got to get your stitching acts together to separate the "cute" from the "oh wow, that looks GOOD."

I'll literally hold your hands to get this done. The technique I swear by is the loop and pull. It's simple, clean, and secure.

Loop your thread through the weft, pull it tight, and repeat. The trick is to place those stitches close to each other to avoid any awkward gaps or loose areas.

There's nothing worse than catching a peek of the braid underneath—no thank you! And here's a pro tip for you, sis… get a curved needle.

If you're using a straight one, honey, you're making life harder than it needs to be.

A curved needle is made for the job; it glides through like butter, especially when you're reaching those tricky spots around your head.

Loop and pull method is also useful when you install lace closures.

Double the Weft, Double the Volume

Let's talk volume.

Shall we? If you're all about that full-bodied look, then doubling up on your wefts is the trick.

Think of it as your shortcut to major volume without needing a ton of hair bundles.

But don't go piling on the wefts all willy-nilly.

There's an art to this! Start doubling up in the back where you want that thickness.

Layer two wefts together for each track and stitch them as one. This gives you that full, glam look but keeps everything lightweight and comfy.

Now, don't go too wild with the double wefting near the top of your head. Keeping it thin up there helps everything blend and keeps your style looking natural.

Nothing kills a flawless weave like a bulky top section. We're going for glam, not helmet vibes!

Save some bucks and get your bundles with closures in one deal.

Lock Those Edges Down

Girl, if there's one thing that can ruin a good install, it's unruly edges.

We want those baby hairs laid and slayed! Proper edge care isn't just for the final look—it also protects your natural hair from damage.

My secret is to start with a good edge control product, something with a strong hold but not so harsh that it leaves you with crunchy edges.

You want to apply a small amount along your edges, then wrap it up with a silk scarf for a few minutes to lock everything in place.

This trick will keep your edges sleek and your whole installation looking polished. Oh, and a little reminder: don't be too rough with the edges when you're stitching.

The goal is to have a laid look, not snatched hairlines! Less tension means less risk of breakage. Let those edges breathe, babe. And style our hairline right.

Finish with a Natural Touch

The final glam is where all the magic happens.

Blending your weave with your natural hair is the ultimate way to earn us that "is it all hers?" reaction. And for that, we're going for seamless, natural realness.

Did I mention that this is my favorite hack? Just did! It's a no-brainer to style your weave to match your own hair's texture.

If you've got a little wave, add some soft curls. If you're more of a sleek chick, give it a gentle flat iron.

You want the texture to flow from your scalp to your ends without any telltale differences.

You've got to create that illusion, baby! The final step is to use a little foundation powder along your part line to make it look like a real scalp.

Just a little dab will do; don't go overboard, or it'll look too obvious.

And voilà! You're officially in the diva territory.
