When you get a full head weave and hair is left out in the front for a more natural look, there are a few ways to style it so that it will blend with the hair weaved in. It is somewhat easier to blend your hair with straight weaves. That is when a flat iron or curling iron can become useful.

When I first started getting weaves it seemed easier going with straight hair then I found that I was flat-ironing or curling my hair everyday. Lately I’ve been into curlier styles. I like to use Sensationnel Goddess Remi Deep Weaving and Sensationnel Goddess Remi French Weaving if I want a natural curly or wavy look. I found that it was a lot easier blending my hair with these styles without the daily dose of heat I was subjecting my hair to.  Below are a few easy techniques that I use to blend my hair with a wavy or curly weave. I have another more involved technique that I will share in an upcoming post.

• If it is a style with big curls I can just pull out my hot curlers or use rollers to curl my own hair.
• When I use weave with tight curls I wet set my hair with rollers small enough to wrap my hair around like rods (sponge rollers are not suggested).
• Deep wave weaves are the easiest to blend with. I would twist my hair with some leave in conditioner and let it dry naturally. Take your hair in sections that are big for loose curls and smaller for tighter curls.When it is taken down it has a nice natural deep wavy curl to it that holds its shape.
• For a more crimped wavy look you can use crimp irons or the kind of rollers made for crimping (found at most beauty supply stores). For a more natural look just braid sections of hair bigger or smaller depending on how deep you want the crimp to be. Use a good leave in conditioner or a setting lotion. Leave in conditioner usually yields the best results for me. Let it dry naturally or help it a bit with a blow dryer. After it is completely dry gently undo the braid and you have naturally crimped hair.
