Wearing Virgin Brazilian Hair Extensions

By Dawn Williams


There is nothing like the versatility of a good weave as it reflects one who appreciates quality in their style. One that is full without being bulky, soft to the touch, and retains its moisture is something of envy. This is why many are choosing virgin Brazilian hair extensions over other types of human hair.

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.

Care depends mostly on the condition of the users hair type. If the person has an extremely oily scalp, they should use a dry, or powder, shampoo for their roots. Washings should be done at least once every other week, using a mild shampoo. Instead of doing a rapid shampoo where the everything is washed at once and rubbed vigorously, working the extensions slowly from the scalp to the ends is recommended.

Follow up every shampoo a light conditioner and use a deep conditioner on a monthly basis. Locks that are chemically treated or extremely dry will benefit from deep conditioning twice a month. When shampooing, wash out products carefully to prevent scalp buildup.

Drying should be done mostly with a thick towel as this allows the wave pattern to stay in place. Anyone who has thick locks or cannot leave the house with a wet scalp should use a small dryer on the scalp or thick areas. Frequent dryer use on the extensions is not recommended.

Combing may be done with a wide tooth comb or hair extension loop brush. For those who applied the knot technique, it is best to separate into small sections and work from the roots to the ends. If the natural locks are extremely dry, this is a good time to add daily moisturizers or light oils to the 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.
