There lived  a time when celebrities were the only women who wore or could afford to wear hair weaves. Back then, the fact that the hair on their on their heads didn’t actually grow out of their scalps was a hush-hush affair. However, today, women experiment with hair addition in every length, colour and texture. Instead of simply being a way to add inches and volume to your style, hair weaves. If you’ve never thought to wear extensions before, find out how wearing them could actually help.

Below are 3 reasons women wear hair weaves;

Hair Weaves Are Used For Protective

In the case of sewn-in hair weaves, hair is typically braided close to the scalp and extension hair is added in wefts. The extension hair takes the daily wear and tear, so your natural hair is protected from elements as well as  your styling practices. Your hair won’t have to suffer abuse from the heat from low dryers curling irons, flat irons or hot rollers. It won’t be affected by harsh weather or cotton pillowcases. Your hair will be protected from all of those routine and outside influences that can slowly split the ends and dry it out. It’s one of the protective styles that will do your hair good, with proper care, while you wear it.

Hair Weaves Are Of Low Maintenance

If you don’t have a lot of time to spend styling your hair and are looking for low-maintenance options besides a short cut. Wearing hair weaves will allow you to style your hair in a hurry, perfect for time –crunched mornings. Synthetic hair comes pre-styled, so all you really have to do is fluff it and go. Human hair weaves offer more versatility than synthetic, but are still generally easy to care for. Weaves are also great for vacation-hair. You can relax and enjoy your getaway without spending precious minutes or hours on hairstyling.  Wear a weave for your time away and you can spend your trip enjoying the scenery instead of worrying about your mane reverting.

Many Use Hair Weaves For Experimentation

Do you want a new colour hair look? Or want to see how you look with naturally kinky locks? How about trying an ultra-short cut without having to snip your long tresses? Hair weaves can do all of this and much more. With hair weaves you can experiment with colour without worry of damage to your own hair. This can be especially helpful to women who have to be careful about the types of chemicals they use on their locks. Platinum blonde is particularly harsh shade for black hair, so being able to weave it in, while your hair stay protected, is a great benefit for those of you who’ve always wondered if blondes really have more fun.
