Hair Weaving in South Carolina

The South Carolina climate, while it is beautiful, is not always friendly to our hair. A lot of women in South Carolina have chosen to wear hair extensions or a hair weave as it is most commonly referred to. Hair weaving offers style and convenience to many South Carolina natives. The art of hair weaving has been long practiced in the state of South Carolina and is recently among the most talked about hair processes in the industry. Right now there are more than 25,000 hair stylists in South Carolina and many of them are well trained in the art of hair weaving and extensions.

Where did Hair Weaving originate?

Hair weaving was originated in England through Africa.

Can Weaving damage your hair?

Some weaves can cause damage depending on the method being used. The bonding (adhesive) can be damaging if it's not applied properly.

What are the different types of Hair weaves?

There are several different types of hair weaves. There is the quick weave with bonding glue, and then there's the traditional sew-in.

What is the average cost for a Weave in South Carolina?

A weave can cost anywhere from $85 to $250.00 depending on what technique is being done.

Do you think people in South Carolina should weave their own hair at home?

Personally, I don't think they should because if someone doesn't know how to properly do a weave, it can cause real damage to the hair and can sometimes come out in patches.

How do you remove a hair weave?

Once again, it depends on the technique. If you have a full sew-in weave, you should start by cutting the thread on the hair and remove it track by track. If you have the bonding method, you can apply any type of oil to the scalp or bonding remover and gently massage it into the scalp until the track loosens up and slides right off the hair.

What is the difference between a regular weave and a quick weave?

A quick weave is when bonding glue is applied, a regular weave would be a traditional sew-in (a sew-in usually lasts longer).

What is the best hair to use?

Really, it depends on the person. Human hair is almost always the best hair to use. Sometimes synthetic hair can hold up just as well depending on the brand.

Do you think some people get carried away with weave length, style and color?

I know that I've seen some incredible hair colors that were just a hot mess. It's okay to have fun with your hair and express your personal style and individuality. So, if you have the right attitude, I'm sure you can pull off any type of style, but make sure you look in the mirror first and take inventory.

What if your hair is damaged or thinning? Is a weave the right choice for damaged hair?

Wearing a weave is helpful for many folks with thinning hair. It allows your hair a chance to rest up from all the everyday wear and tear of the curling irons and hairsprays. I do a lot of net-weaving with people that have thinning hair in the crown area.
