Choosing Virgin Brazilian Hair Extensions

By Dawn Williams


A good weave cannot be compromised. When it looks and feels natural, this is enough to make some envious. This is one of many reasons that virgin Brazilian hair extensions are becoming the most popular type of hair product to use for full weaves and hairpieces.

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 problem for wearers is care of their own locks as well as the product. When one is tended to, the other may suffer, which is not only a waste of money but can cause damage. The results may be ruined extensions or the natural hair is brittle and is prone to breakage.

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.

All shampoo sessions should follow with a light conditioner. The natural hair should undergo a deep conditioning at least one time every month but in cases of dry or color treated tresses, deep conditioning treatments may be done two or three times a month. It is best to clean both the natural tresses and extensions of remaining products when shampooing.

Use a thick towel to dry extensions by gently patting them. These have a natural wave pattern that is best maintained with air drying. For anyone who does want a wet scalp or has really thick tresses, a handheld dryer may be used on areas that are hard to dry.

The extensions should be combed out carefully using a comb with wide teeth or a brush designed for maintaining extensions. After shampooing, it is best to start by separating into quarter sections or smaller. From there, comb carefully working each section until it is untangled. For extra dry tresses, this is the time to apply a light oil or moisturizer 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.
