A good weave cannot be compromised. When it looks and feels natural, this is enough to make some envious. This is one of many reasons that virgin Brazilian hair extensions are becoming the most popular type of hair product to use for full weaves and hairpieces.

For many decades now, people have tried to get the natural look with many application techniques and types of tresses that may be bought. Though some were able to achieve this with expensive trips to the salon or high maintenance methods that included the use of special shampoos and conditioners, this was not enough. However, this did inspire leaders of the beauty industry to seek better quality hair for the consumer.

One problem for wearers is care of their own locks as well as the product. When one is tended to, the other may suffer, which is not only a waste of money but can cause damage. The results may be ruined extensions or the natural hair is brittle and is prone to breakage.

There is no one way for wearers to care for their extensions as natural hair types may vary. If the wearer has a scalp that gets oily scalp, a dry shampoo is good to apply to their roots during a regular shampoo. Otherwise, the extensions may be washed with a mild shampoo every two weeks. For the best wear, gently massage extensions from root to tip when shampooing.

All shampoo sessions should follow with a light conditioner. The natural hair should undergo a deep conditioning at least one time every month but in cases of dry or color treated tresses, deep conditioning treatments may be done two or three times a month. It is best to clean both the natural tresses and extensions of remaining products when shampooing.

When drying, it is best to blot with a thick towel. Air drying is best to maintain its natural wave pattern. However, if the natural locks are thick or the user does not want to leave home with a wet scalp, they can set their hand dryer on low with special attention to certain areas.

The extensions should be combed out carefully using a comb with wide teeth or a brush designed for maintaining extensions. After shampooing, it is best to start by separating into quarter sections or smaller. From there, comb carefully working each section until it is untangled. For extra dry tresses, this is the time to apply a light oil or moisturizer scalp.

Unless the wearer wants to lose the wave pattern and go completely straight, heating tools should be avoided. Curling irons may be used sparingly and if adhesives or bonding solution was used to apply the extensions, follow directions to avoid loosening or damage. Anyone who is considering this look should have a healthy head of hair that is well conditioned. A good cosmetologist can make recommendations to anyone who wants to wear virgin Brazilian hair extensions but may have challenges such as breakage or thinning.
