WHAT IS QUICK WEAVE?
The quick weave technique emerged shortly after Christina Jenkins introduced weaving in the 1950s. Jenkins patented her hair weaving process in 1951, revolutionizing hair techniques by incorporating it into sewing methods.
Understanding Quick Weave Quick weaving involves full-head integration, where hair wefts are sewn onto a hair cap, forming a complete headpiece. This technique offers effortless installation and removal.
How Does Quick Weave Work? In contrast to traditional sew-in weaves, where extensions are sewn into cornrowed hair, quick weaving involves applying a protective cap over natural hair, allowing extensions to be glued onto the cap. This process facilitates versatile styling options.
Quick weave applications are feasible both at home and in salons. Similar to sew-in weaves, quick weaves can utilize human hair, synthetic hair, or a blend of both, offering a wide range of fashionable styles, including sleek bobs, curls, and half-up, half-down looks.
Completed quick weave styles typically take around 2 hours, significantly less than traditional methods, which can take twice as long. These styles generally last between 4 to 8 weeks.
Maintaining and Removing Quick Weave
To maintain your quick weave, consider these tips:
Wrap your hair at night with a silk scarf or bonnet. For curly styles, use hair rollers or pipping to preserve the curls overnight. Regularly comb through the weave to remove knots, starting from the bottom and working upward.
To remove your quick weave after several weeks, massage oil (such as olive or coconut oil) into the hair to loosen the glue and tracks, making removal easier. Rinse your natural hair afterward.
Benefits of Quick Weave
Efficiency is a significant advantage of quick weaving, cutting installation time in half compared to traditional methods. Other benefits include:
Affordability: Quick weaves offer a budget-friendly alternative to sew-in weaves without compromising on appearance.
Gentleness on Natural Hair: Unlike sew-in weaves, quick weaves bond extensions to a cap rather than directly to your natural hair, minimizing tension and potential damage.
Low Maintenance: Quick weaves require minimal upkeep, allowing for easy styling and reduced morning routines.
Quick Installation: The rapid installation process makes quick weaves ideal for individuals seeking a fast style change or those with limited time.
