Weaves are quick fix hairstyles that require little active maintenance. This is why they are so popular in today's fast paced world. Women are too busy to be worrying about the time that it will take to get a lovely hairstyle and so many of them opt for weaves. This trend has led to an increase in the occurrence of hair thinning from weave, a condition that affects women all over the world.
Women who get the hairstyles put in at home by novices face this condition but they are not alone in their plight. Customers of professional salons also face this problem as well. The main culprits behind the condition are usually, the techniques used to install or remove the style, the methods used to maintain the styles as well as the quality of the products used.
One method of installing weaves is sewing them in. This is done by first creating cornrow braids in the hair and then using weaving needle and thread to stitch the wafts of locks onto the braids.The problem with this is that sometimes the braids are done too tightly and this places great stress on the follicles leading to breakage and sometimes scarring as well. When the scalp is scarred, new follicle growth is difficult. Sewed in weaves are taken down by cutting the thread and it is easy to see how some of the natural strands may be accidentally cut in this process.
Another method for installing weaves is the use of glue. The adhesive is applied to cornrows and the wefts are then attached. Sometimes the glue is difficult to remove and in removing it the strands of hair are also puled away from the root. This often happens at the sides of the hairline as it is at these locations that hair tends to be weakest.
The tightness of the style is an issue whether the weft is sewed in or glued in. But this tightness may also be the culprit behind follicle damaging scalp infections. The braids that are used as the foundation for the weaves are sometimes so tight that the scalp is broken and when this broken skin gets exposed to bacteria and dirt buildup, infection sets in.
One of the reasons that women's hair gets thin when they wear this style is the methods they use to maintain the hairstyle. Some women attempt to lengthen the life of their weaves and this is something that all cosmetic experts warn against as it causes follicle damage and strand loss. Experts advised that the typical weave should be removed after twelve weeks and do not recommend extending its life beyond this time.
Allergic or other negative reactions to the products used account for many of the weave-related balding or thinning issues. Many women do not realize until it is too late that they are allergic to the hair glue or the synthetic tresses that they wear. Some do not even recognize the signs until it is too late.
For many women the hair loss may be temporary, but for some it turns into a permanent condition. This has a really negative impact on the woman's self esteem. This is why so many victims of this conditions seek the assistance of experts in the fields of dermatology or trichology.
