Buying A Manchester Full Weave

By Marissa Velazquez


These days, anyone can wear the fashionable hairstyles they want without the bulkiness that were once associated with hair extensions. The great thing is that many are affordable for most people. A Manchester full weave is no exception as there are many colors, hair types, and styles from which a person can choose.

There was once a time when only those with a lot of money were able to afford hair extensions that were not detectable. Yet, this was also during a time when high hairdos were in style and for many, the bigger the hair, the better. Since many used sprays and other hair products to give an extremely thick look, a little bulk was acceptable.

As styles gradually changed to become sleeker with less bulk, operators began to perfect new ways to add hair that looked natural. Also, the price should be affordable for many as working class people wanted a weave. Many methods that were discovered along the way came with mixed results.

Bonding was the first quick weave method that promised a full head of hair in less than an hour. While many wearers loved the quickness, the results were temporary. This method also could not withstand the use of daily conditioners or hair oils that would cause the bonding glue to loosen and the weave would eventually fall from the scalp. So this was recommended for weekend hairstyles.

Over time, other methods came along that allowed the hair to remain movable and it would hold its place for weeks at a time. Many wearers prided themselves on not having hair tracks that were bumpy or easy to detect. Operators still use some of these techniques today for a pretty nice price.

Another drawback to getting a weave was the limited selection of colors on the market. These were treated so that home coloring kits did not work so a professional was needed to blend and create highlights or unusual colors. Often operators would charge extra for this service.

When it comes to styles and textures, this is where most wearers are like a kid in a candy store. People with straight hair can have a head full of curly hair that is bouncy and full. Wearers with thick coarse tresses can have sleek hairdos that are shiny and straight.

Although it is easy to get caught up in the luxury of weaved hair, it is important to be aware of maintenance from the time the wearer leaves the salon. This includes regular shampooing and the use of a conditioner as well as regular appointments to deal with new growth. Weaves and extensions that are not maintained can look raggedy and eventually separate.

Having hair should be a fun thing as they offer a little more of a natural look than most wigs or temporary hairpieces. It also helps to have an operator that is knowledgeable about taking care of hair at home. This service can be found at most Manchester full weave salons.
