Does Human Hair Weave Damage Your Own Hair?

From the biggest names in music to the most beautiful women in Hollywood, if you’re looking to the A-list for some hair inspiration, bear in mind that it might not be their own. Whether it's Rihanna talking hair length switch-ups in Vogue or Tyra Banks going weft-free on her TV show, weaves are not entertainment’ secrets anymore.

Nowadays we can buy suitable hair weave and human wigs from salons or online stores. However, along with the increasing demand for hair extensions, more and more concerns about the damage to our natural hair are also raising. So does human hair weave damage your own hair? The answer is if you make some mistakes listed below, it may cause your hair loss.

1. Braiding your hair too tight.

If you find yourself begging people to not make you laugh for fear of your face pulling on your scalp - you have a problem. Most people will wait the 2-3 days it takes for the pain to go away but I guarantee you by that time the damage has been done. Tight weaves cause excessive breakage and traction alopecia.

2. Improper installation way.

Improper installation way will damage your scalp. Your scalp can be damaged from excessive scratching, combing, burning from heat or chemical processes.

3. Synthetic Hair.

Inferior hair can tangle, shed and look unnatural. I understand that synthetic hair is cheaper but human hair is definitely better when it comes to preventing damage to your real hair.

4. Excessive heat and styling on your leave-out.

You want your leave out to be as slick as your weave, it makes sense. An obvious leave out that doesn't blend in texture or color is embarrassing. But, the problem is with the weave not your hair. If you have to slick 200 degress through your hair every morning, dye it light brown in order to blend, I've got bad news for you. Your best bet is to buy hair that matches your own in color and texture as much as possible. If anything needs to change, it's the hair. For example, you can try buying natural straight hair extensions instead of bone straight to create a more natural blend with your relaxed hair or blown out natural hair.

Human Hair Weave is a wonderful way to create a new style as it gives you the opportunity to add length to your natural hair, but the wrong application will damage your scalp and your natural hair. Although hair loss(traction alopecia) from hair extensions, weaves, and incorrect styling is reversible; you can stop the process or take them out and your hair will grow back according to explains Philip Kingsley. However, over time, irreversible damage can be done if the hair starts to grow back and is pulled out again and again. So we must stay the proper way for hair extension. Or you can just buy or make a wig. That is the safest and most natural way so far.
