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.

Getting extensions that look and feel natural has been a challenge for many wearers who do not have money to burn. For many, this required weekly maintenance at a salon or the use of expensive products designed for weaves. As the years passed, the demand for a high quality product led many to find something that would be worth the money.

One area where users tend to get confused is the fact that these need care as well as their own natural locks it is attached to. Some wearers sacrifice one for the other, which can lead to disastrous results. Either the extensions are ruined, it becomes dry and brittle or breaks off at the scalp.

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.

Heat tools should be used sparingly and at a low setting, if possible. If the bonding method was used to apply the extensions, then manufacturer directives should be followed so that the hair does not loosen from the scalp area. The best candidates for weaves or extensions are persons with hair that is healthy and has a natural moisture balance. Also, the scalp should be free of cuts, visible scratches and other damage. Anyone who has concerns or questions about getting this done should seek the advice of a licensed cosmetologist who may suggest treatments so that they can wear their virgin Brazilian hair extensions without worry.
