Tips To Know The Best Quality Of Weaves

4 Essential Things To Know Before Buying A Weave In Nigeria


Every woman knows that natural weaves which are super soft and very durable are what is in vogue now and as expected, there is a craze for it in the market.

However, before you make that move to spend your hard earned money on an expensive wig, let us tell you a few things to look out for as you buy your next weave.

1. Pay close attention to quality.

Although human hair is quite expensive and high maintenance, a lot of people still buy it. In Nigeria, possibly because the sellers import in large quantities, the price of these human hairs are way cheaper than what you may find online. However, some tricky companies, while packaging these human hairs, mix them with synthetic fibers or processed hair so as to make more profit.

This usually gives an uneven and tacky result when styling. It is therefore important to read reviews to know which brand are most trustworthy and then look out for them in the market. Also, watch out for unnatural hair colors as that is a sure sign that the hair has been altered or is not  original human hair at all.

2. Be careful of the price

If the selling price of the hair seems to good to be true, it most certainly is not quality product. Everyone likes to have a good bargain, but with human hair, keep in mind that a vendor will never sell an original the same price as you would get other synthetic or fibre strands, no matter how short the length is or what promo the business is running.


The Best Human Hair Wigs You Can Afford

Vendors usually factor in the cost of importing it, caring for it and packaging it. Invest wisely. Ensure you compare prices before making a purchase, chances are the most expensive is usually more original.

3. Check the hair texture

If you are making your way to Nigeria and looking to buy a good one, check its texture. How soft is it? Does it feel like real textured hair? As is common with businesses around the world, most vendors in Nigeria key into the idea of human hair being the ultimate premium virgin hair with the perfect texture and luster, and sell all sorts to unassuming customers, attaching its origin from faraway countries.

While there are different kinds of human hair, bear in mind that they all have one thing in common and that is their texture, they are never too coarse or too shiny. They have the texture and feel of permed natural African hair. Ensure there is a certain bounce to it and it should not feel coated or silky smooth like synthetic hair.

4. Check for shedding and bulky wefts

Some processing companies buy the hair in its original form and take on the task of processing the hair, either chemically or by steam, so as to achieve a desired wave or curl pattern and a luster that will blend with textured hair. In the process however, sometimes the original texture of the hair is tampered with and the hair is not properly sown, leading to eventual complaints of shedding and bulky wefts from patrons.

Good thing is that most original human hair comes in bundles and are not packed. Run your finger through them, shake them and if possible, put a brush through them before you buy. Check the wefts to see if it is unusually swollen and if the seams are tight. Otherwise, you are in for a bad hair experience.
