All About Quick Weave

Hey queens! ✨ Let’s get into the world of quick weaves and find out why everyone’s obsessing over this trend in hair styling. If you’re all about flipping your look with no strings attached or those steep salon prices, then you better stick with me, honey, ’cause we’re about to spill all the tea on quick weave magic!

What is Quick Weave?

A quick weave is a full weave involving bonding hair extensions to a thick weave cap, or directly to your hair. It’s a quicker, more affordable alternative to the traditional sew-in weave. You can rock all sorts of styles without having to spend hours in the stylist’s chair. Whether you’re longing for length, dreaming of volume, or craving color, quick weaves offer versatility without the long-term commitment.

What’s the Hype Around Quick Weave?

Time-Saver: In our busy lives, who isn’t looking to save some time? Quick weaves can be installed in a fraction of the time it takes to do sew-ins, making them perfect for last-minute events or regular style changes.
Protective Styling: While giving you a fabulous look, quick weaves also protect your natural hair. Your strands are tucked away, reducing exposure to styling heat and environmental stressors.
Cost-Effective: Compared to other weave techniques, quick weaves are easier on the wallet. You get a bomb look without breaking the bank!
Variety: With quick weaves, you can experiment with different styles, lengths, and colors more frequently. Feel like rocking a bob today and long, flowing locks next week? No problem!

Examples of Quick Weave Styles

DIY: How to Do a Quick Weave Yourself

You’ll Need:

Hair extensions
Weaving cap or wig cap
Bonding glue
Scissors
Blow dryer

Steps:

Prepare Your Hair: Cornrow your natural hair straight back. If length allows, tuck the ends of the braids and secure them flat against your head.
Cap It: Put on a weaving cap to protect your hair. This cap acts as the base for gluing your extensions.
Measure and Cut: Measure the hair weft against your head from ear to ear where you want to place it. Cut the weft slightly shorter than the measurement to ensure a clean fit.
Glue: Apply a thin layer of bonding glue along the weft of the hair. Carefully place the weft onto the cap, starting from the back and working your way to the front. Press down to secure.
Dry: Once all pieces are glued, use a blow dryer on a cool setting to help the glue set.
Style: Once the glue is dry, cut and style the weave as desired.

Voila! You’ve got yourself a stunning new look with minimal effort and time!

Final Thoughts

Quick weaves are a fantastic way to spice up your style game without exhausting your time or finances. Whether you’re a seasoned weave enthusiast or a newbie looking to experiment, quick weaves are definitely worth considering for a quick style fix!

All About Tape Ins the New, Easy Hair Extension Method

What Are Tape-Ins?

Ever wonder what all the fuss about tape-in hair extensions is about? Well, let me break it down for you. Tape-ins are one of the simplest ways to add length, volume, and even color to your natural hair. They consist of thin strips of hair, with a strip of strong, adhesive tape on one side. These extensions are applied by sandwiching small sections of your natural hair between two of these sticky strips. It’s pretty much like giving your hairstyle a quick, fabulous boost without the hassle of more permanent methods. Keep reading to see why tape-in hair extensions are worth getting!

How Many Tape Ins for a Full Head?

Thinking about transforming your look with tape-ins? You’re probably asking, “How many do I need for a full head?” Girl, the answer can vary, but generally, you’re looking at about 40 to 60 pieces. This amount can give you that full, luscious look you’re dreaming of. Of course, if you’re just looking for a little extra volume or highlights, you might use fewer. But for a complete transformation? Aim for that 40-60 range.

Where do I get Tape In Bundles?

Want to get tape in bundles? Visit https://www.perfektionhair.com/. Do you happen to be in Houston, TX? Buy the tape in bundles and get your hair slayed at Perfektion hair salon!

Address: 10910 Cullen Blvd Suite C. Houston, Tx 77047

How Long Do Tape Ins Last?

Now, let’s talk about how long you can rock those gorgeous tape-ins. With proper care, tape-in extensions can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. Remember, they do require a bit of maintenance, which includes gentle washing, avoiding oily products near the adhesive, and using a soft brush. But with the right love and care, these beauties will keep you looking fly for a good while!

DIY Tape Ins

Things you’ll learn in this video:

Detailed instructions on how to install the tape
Place the tape on the hair not the scalp
If needed, how to cut the tape to fit the middle layer
3 rows but technically 6 because it’s double-sided
How to go in with a flat iron
Leave out enough hair around the premier, so you can be able to put your hair in a ponytail

How to Remove Tape Ins

Alright, it’s been a few weeks, and you’re ready to say goodbye to your tape-ins (just for now!). How do you take them out without causing a scene (or damage)? You’ll need a special tape-in extension remover, which is designed to loosen the adhesive. Apply the remover along the tape, let it sit for a minute, then gently peel the extensions off. If they’re being stubborn, apply a little more remover. Remember, patience is key—rushing can pull on your natural hair and cause breakage.

Our Recommended tape remover spray: is PRO REMOVER™ TAPE IN & KERATIN HAIR EXTENSION REMOVER
- Price: $9.99

How Much Are Tape Ins?

And finally, let’s talk numbers. The cost of getting tape-in extensions can vary depending on the quality and length of the hair you choose. At Perfektion Hair Salon, where we make sure you get nothing but the best, prices for a full head of tape-ins start around $200 and can go up, not including the cost of installation. Think of it as an investment in your fabulousness—worth every penny for looking and feeling amazing.

Loc Extensions: Where to Buy Them, How to Install Them, and More

loc extensions human hair

Hey! Are you looking to switch up your hairstyle with loc extensions but not sure where to start? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Loc extensions are a fantastic way to get that dreadlock look instantly without the long wait. Whether you’re all about that natural vibe or you just want a new bold look, I’ve got the lowdown on everything you need to know about rocking loc extensions. Plus, a little shoutout to Perfektion Hair Salon in Houston – the spot to hit up if you’re looking to get this style done flawlessly.

What Exactly Are Loc Extensions?

100% Human hair loc extensions

Loc extensions are basically your shortcut to dreadlocks. You can get them in different sizes, but the real deal is those made from human hair, which look super natural and blend perfectly with your own hair. Micro loc extensions are perfect if you like a finer, more detailed look. But if you’re about that bold life, you might want bigger ones.

Softening Up Those Loc Extensions

When you first get your loc extensions, they might feel a bit stiff. No worries though, there are some simple tricks to get them soft and natural-feeling:

Condition Them: Soak your loc extensions in some warm water mixed with a gentle conditioner. This can make them softer and more flexible.
Oil Them Up: Work some natural oils like coconut or jojoba oil through those locs. It’ll help condition them and give them a nice sheen.
Keep Them Clean: Wash these babies regularly. Use a mild shampoo and follow up with a hydrating conditioner to keep them soft and healthy.

Installing Loc Extensions

Want to DIY this? Here’s how to install those loc extensions yourself:

Clean and Dry: Start with clean, dry hair. This makes the installation process smoother and ensures your locs will hold better.
Section Your Hair: Part your hair into sections. The size of each section should match the thickness of the loc extensions.
Hook and Wrap: Using a crochet hook, pull your natural hair through the loc extension loop, then wrap your hair around the extension from top to bottom.
Secure the Base: Make sure the base of each loc is tight and secure. Use a bit of lock gel or wax to keep everything in place.

How Much Are Loc Extensions?

The price of these ones above start at $45 for 6/8 inches to $90 for 16/18 inches. You can check it out on Esty by clicking this link.

The price tag on loc extensions can vary a lot. Typically, you’re looking at anywhere from $45 to over 200 bucks for top-notch human hair extensions. Remember, you might also need to pay for professional installation, unless you’re feeling confident about your DIY skills.

How Long Do They Last?

With the right care, your loc extensions style can last 10-12 weeks. A touch up may be a good idea between 6-8 weeks.

Where to Buy Loc Extensions?

You can find loc extensions at online shops, beauty stores, or directly from hair stylists. If you’re looking for a place that knows what they’re doing with locs, check out Perfektion Hair Salon in Houston. They’ve got the expertise to hook you up with some sleek, natural-looking locs.

Stunning Braid Hairstyles For Black Girls

Did you know that braiding has been an important part of black hair culture, dating back to 3500 B.C. Over the years, different braiding styles have emerged, each unique and rich in culture. But where do you start from?

In this post, I will be taking you through a collection of 17 beautiful braided hairstyles for black girls that not only protect the hair but also make a bold statement.

Without further adieu, let’s get into it.

1. Cornrow Braids

Characterized by thin, flat braids that lie close to the scalp, cornrow braids works well for both short and long hair. They are versatile and gives a lot of room to play with pattern depending on the way your hair is parted. Cornrows can be the foundation for many other styles like lemonade braids, goddess braids, and crochet braids. With cornrows, there’s a style to suit every personality and occasion.

2. Crochet Braids

Crochet braids are a type of cornrows where instead of the hair being braided for its entire length, it is only braided at the root, and the rest is left loose, usually with added hair.

This style is a great way to add volume and length to the hair, and the loose hair can be styled in various ways.

3. Box Braids

The name ‘box braid’ comes from the box-like shape formed at the root of each braid. They are popular because they are low maintenance and can be styled in different ways. With box braids, you can experiment with length, thickness, and color to create a unique look.

Convinced already? Book a hair service with our professional stylists.

4, Triangle Box Braids

Triangle box braids are a stylish variation to the traditional box braids.

Instead of the standard square or box-shaped sections, the hair is parted in triangular sections before braiding.

This unique twist adds an edge to the classic box braids.

5. Senegalese Twists

Senegalese twists are a beautiful way to protect your hair while giving it a break from daily styling. They are created by attaching synthetic or human hair to the root of your natural hair, separating it into two strands, and wrapping it all the way down each hair shaft.

The result is sleek, smooth twists, so girl, if you need a hairstyle that screams simplicity and elegance–this is it.

6. Micro Braids

Micro braids, as the name suggests, are tiny, delicate braids that are created using small sections of hair. The final results look and feel like thick strands of hair, rather than the interlaced plaits of larger braids. Because of the size, micro braids take a long time to install but can last up to eight weeks with proper care.

7. Fulani Braids

Fulani braids are a tribal African braiding style that has gained mainstream popularity. They feature a distinct pattern with one middle braid running down the back of the head, with other braids flowing in the opposite direction across the crown of the head. Fulani braids are a beautiful blend of cornrows and box braids, offering a unique look that stands out.

8. Flat Twist Braids

Flat twist braids are an elegant way to style your hair for a formal event. The braids lie flat on the scalp and can be designed in a variety of widths and angles to create a unique pattern. They offer a different texture compared to a three-strand braid, adding a soft, elegant flare to the hairstyle.

9. Havana Twists

Havana twists are large, thick twists that are typically styled in long strands.

They are a perfect match for those who love big, voluminous hair. The twists can be left loose or styled into a bun, ponytail, or half-up hairstyle.

You don’t need to break the bank to get your hair done by an expert. Let us transform your look today.

10. Passion Twists

Passion twists are a combination of goddess locs and Senegalese twists. They are created by twisting two-strand twists with curly extensions, resulting in a unique texture. Passion twists can be styled in different lengths, thickness, and colors.

Things to Consider Before Choosing a Braided Hairstyle

Before selecting a braided hairstyle, consider

the length and texture of your hair
the duration you want to keep your braids.

For short braided styles, your hair should be at least two inches long, while for lengthier versions, it should be four to five inches long.

The texture of your hair also plays an important role, as very fine hair works better in smaller braids, while thick hair can handle thicker braids.

Braids typically last between four and six weeks with proper care. But this may vary depending on the style and how well you care for them.

Generally, the thicker the braid or twist, the quicker it will frizz, while small, tight braids and twists will last longer.

Conclusion

Braided hairstyles not only serve as protective styles but also offer an opportunity to express your individuality through your hair.

With the right care and maintenance, you can keep your braids looking fresh and vibrant for weeks, while your natural hair benefits from a break from daily styling.

Whatever braid hairstyle you choose, girl, consult a professional braider to achieve the best results and to ensure that your hair is braided in a way that protects and nurtures your natural hair.

Glue-on vs Sew-in Quick Weave, Which Is Better For You?

What's a Quick Weave?

A quick weave is a popular hair weaving technique that allows you to quickly change your hairstyle without making a long-term commitment.

It involves attaching hair extensions to your natural hair to create a desired look.

Quick weaves are a convenient option for those who want to experiment with different styles or add volume and length to their hair.

Alright, gorgeous! Let’s explore the two popular types that reign supreme in the world of quick weaves!

Glue-On Quick Weave

Enter the realm of glue-on quick weaves, where adhesive prowess meets style finesse!

With this method, hair extensions are glued to a protective wig cap before it is bonded to your scalp, demanding precision and meticulous application for a secure bond.

Pros of Glue-On Quick Weave

Swift Application: Glue-on quick weaves are typically quicker to apply compared to sew-in weaves. If you’re short on time or want a temporary style for a special occasion, a glue-on quick weave may be the ideal choice.

Versatility: With glue-on quick weaves, you have more flexibility in terms of styling options. You can easily create various hairdos, including up-dos, ponytails, and braids etc. it allows for limitless creativity. Whether you’re attending a formal event or hitting the gym, your style options remain endless.

Easy Removal: Bid farewell to your glue-on quick weave effortlessly. You can use a special adhesive remover to dissolve the glue and gently glide the extensions out of your hair. This makes it easy to transition between styles. No more tugging or pulling, just smooth and hassle-free removal.

Cons of Glue-On Quick Weave

Potential for Natural Hair Damage: Improper application or removal of glue may pose risks to your natural hair’s health, hun!. The adhesive used can sometimes lead to breakage or hair loss if it’s not handled carefully.

Perfektion hair salon, we use the best products and have the best professional stylists. So, If you need a glue-on quick weave that will not damage your natural hair, click the link to book now.

Sew-In Quick Weave

Now, let’s explore the sew-in quick weaves, where precision stitching meets enduring elegance!

This method involves utilizing a needle and thread to secure hair extensions onto a braided foundation crafted with your natural hair, ensuring a steadfast hold.

Pros of Sew-In Quick Weave:

Long-lasting: Sew-in quick weaves are known for their longevity. The tight stitching of the extensions onto the braided foundation ensures that the hair will stay in place for an extended period of time. This is especially beneficial if you prefer a low-maintenance hairstyle.

Minimal damage: Compared to glue-on quick weaves, sew-in quick weaves are generally less damaging to your natural hair. This is because the braided foundation distributes the weight of the extensions evenly, reducing the risk of breakage or traction alopecia.

Natural look and feel: Sew-in quick weaves can create a more natural appearance compared to glue-on options. The stitching technique allows the hair extensions to blend with your natural hair, resulting in a realistic look.

Cons of Sew-In Quick Weave

Longer application time: The process of installing sew-in quick weaves takes more time and effort compared to glue-on techniques. This can be a drawback if you’re looking for a quick and easy transformation.

Limited styling options: While sew-in quick weaves provide a secure hold, they can limit your styling options.

Get your sew-in quick weave at Perfektion hair salon. Click the link to book now.

Factors to consider when choosing between glue-on and sew-in quick weaves

When torn between glue-on and sew-in quick weaves, contemplate these crucial factors:

Hair Texture and Type: Think about how your natural hair texture and type will interact with each method. Because while glue-on quick weaves may offer a more secure hold for thicker hair types, sew-in quick weaves could be gentler on finer or fragile hair.

Lifestyle and Activity Level: Consider your lifestyle and daily activities when deciding between the two techniques. Glue-on quick weaves are generally more convenient for those with an active lifestyle, as they require less maintenance and allow for more versatility in styling. Sew-in quick weaves, on the other hand, may be preferred if you are willing to spend more time on maintenance and want a style that can withstand rigorous activities.

Desired Duration: Determine how long you intend to keep your hairstyle. If you’re seeking a temporary transformation for a special event or prefer frequent style changes, a glue-on quick weave might be more suitable. But if you’re looking for a longer-lasting style that requires little maintenance, a sew-in quick weave could be the way to go.

Budget: This is one factor to really give a lot of thought when choosing between the two methods. Glue-on quick weaves are more affordable because they require only a little initial investment but sew-in quick weaves are more cost-effective in the long run because they last longer and do not require a lot of maintenance.

Hair Health and Damage: Prioritize the health of your natural hair when making your decision. If you have concerns about potential damage or breakage, opt for the method that offers the least risk to your hair health. Consulting with a professional stylist can provide valuable insights into the best approach for your specific hair needs.

Maintenance and Upkeep: Are you willing to invest time and effort into maintaining your hairstyle? Although both glue-on and sew-in quick weaves require some level of maintenance, the frequency and complexity of upkeep may vary between the two methods. So, choose the option that aligns with your lifestyle and styling preferences.

Safety concerns and risks associated with glue-on and sew-in quick weaves

Girl, safety and risks associated with glue-on and sew-in quick weaves are important factors to consider when deciding between the two techniques. Here’s why

Allergic reactions: Some people may have sensitivities or allergies to the adhesive used in glue-on quick weaves. It’s important to do a patch test before applying the glue to your entire scalp to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions. Sew-in quick weaves, on the other hand, do not involve the use of adhesive, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions.

Damage to natural hair: As mentioned earlier, improper application or removal of glue-on quick weaves can lead to damage, breakage, or even hair loss. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and seek professional help if you’re unsure about the process. Sew-in quick weaves, when done correctly and maintained properly, pose less risk to your natural hair.

Scalp irritation: The chemicals and adhesives used in glue-on quick weaves may cause scalp irritation in some people. It’s essential to listen to your body and remove the quick weave if you experience any discomfort or allergic reactions. Sew-in quick weaves do not involve direct contact with the scalp, reducing the risk of irritation

At Perfektion hair salon, all these factors are what we consider before recommending or styling your hair. Want to find out yourself?

Final Verdict For Both Methods

Glue-on quick weaves provide quick and convenient installation, allowing for versatile styling options.

They can create a seamless and natural-looking result if applied correctly. But, they come with a higher risk of damage to your natural hair and scalp, along with the potential for allergic reactions and irritation.

On the other hand, sew-in quick weaves are a safer option overall, as they do not involve the use of adhesive.

They provide a more secure and long-lasting result and are less likely to cause damage or hair loss. Sew-in quick weaves also offer the flexibility to switch up hairstyles while maintaining the health of your natural hair.

Ultimately, the better option for you will depend on your specific needs, preferences, and willingness to invest time and effort into maintenance.

If you prioritize convenience and are willing to take the necessary precautions to protect your hair and scalp, a glue-on quick weave may be suitable for you.

But, if you prioritize the health and longevity of your natural hair, a sew-in quick weave is a safer and more reliable choice.

Conclusion

So hun!, when deciding between a glue-on quick weave and a sew-in quick weave, all these factors should be considered.

It is important to remember that whether you choose a glue-on or a sew-in quick weave, proper installation, maintenance, and removal are crucial.

So, consult with a professional hairstylist who has experience with both methods before making a decision.

And for that, you do not need to search too much. Perfektion hair salon has the best professional stylists for any type of quick weave you desire. Click the link to book a service today.

Prepare your tools: Gather your essentials – a wide-toothed comb, water spray bottle, adhesive remover, and a gentle touch.

Quick Weave Styles and Installation for Black Women

In the ever-evolving world of black women’s hairstyles, quick weaves have emerged as a go-to for those of us looking for versatility, ease, and protection. Whether you’re switching up your look for a special occasion or just in the mood for a change, quick weaves offer a plethora of style options without the long-term commitment or potential damage of traditional weaves. Here’s the 411 on quick weaves and how you can rock them in style.

What's Quick Weave?

A quick weave is a weaving method where hair wefts are glued directly to a protective wig cap placed on your head, or sometimes, your natural hair is molded down and protected with a cap and bonding glue. It’s a faster, more affordable alternative to sew-ins, allowing you to experiment with various hairstyles without altering your natural hair. Plus, it’s a lifesaver when you’re pressed for time but still want to look fabulous.

The installation Process

Step 1: Prep Your Natural Hair
Before anything else, you need to protect your natural locks. You can braid your hair down, mold it with gel, or simply slick it back into a low ponytail. Whatever method you choose, the goal is to get your hair as flat as possible for a seamless installation.

Step 2: Protect Your Scalp
Next up, protect that precious scalp! Applying a protective cap is crucial. It not only keeps the glue from getting on your hair but also makes the quick weave removal process much smoother. For added security, some ladies like to double up on caps. Do you, sis!

Step 3: Measure and Cut the Wefts
Before gluing anything down, measure the wefts against your head and cut them to fit the areas you’ll be applying them to. This step is key to achieving that natural, flawless look.

Step 4: Glue Time
Using hair bonding glue, apply the wefts to the cap, starting from the back and working your way up. Make sure each weft is secure before moving on to the next. Remember, patience is your friend during this step.

Step 5: Style and Slay
Once all the wefts are in place, it’s time to cut, style, and lay those edges! Whether you’re rocking a bob, layers, or curls, this is where your quick weave comes to life.

Quick Weave Hairstyles for Black Women

1. The Classic Bob

A sleek, straight bob is timeless and perfect for any occasion. It’s chic, easy to maintain, and works well with any outfit. Plus, it’s a great way to test out shorter hair without the scissors.

2. Bombshell Curls
Who doesn’t love big, bouncy curls? They’re perfect for adding volume and drama. Whether you’re using curly wefts or curling the hair post-installation, this style is sure to turn heads.

3. Pixie Cut
For the bold and adventurous, a quick weave pixie cut offers a low-maintenance yet stylish option. It’s edgy, easy to style, and perfect for those hot summer months.

4. Half Up, Half Down
This versatile style combines the best of both worlds: the sleekness of a pulled-back top and the free-flowing beauty of loose hair. It’s ideal for those days when you can’t decide between an updo and letting your hair down.

5. Long and Layered
For those who dream of length, quick weaves can provide you with long, luxurious layers without the wait. This style offers movement and versatility, perfect for experimenting with different looks.

Care and Maintenance

While quick weaves are relatively low maintenance, proper care is essential to keep both your weave and natural hair healthy. Always wrap your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf to maintain moisture and reduce friction. Be gentle when styling, and keep the use of heat to a minimum to avoid damaging the wefts.

When it comes to removal, take your time and use a glue remover if necessary. This ensures that both your natural hair and scalp remain healthy and ready for your next hairstyle adventure.

In Conclusion

Quick weaves are an excellent option for black women looking to switch up their look without the commitment or risk of damage. With a range of styles to choose from and a relatively straightforward installation process, it’s no wonder they’ve become a staple in our hair repertoire. Remember, the key to a fabulous quick weave lies in the preparation and protection of your natural hair. So, go ahead, experiment with different styles, and embrace the versatility and convenience that quick weaves have to offer. Who knows? You might just find your next signature look.
