What do you do before you get a weave on? I'm answering more questions that pop up every now and then as someone who dabbles in extensions a lot. Here are my tips for you. **Chelate or Clarify your hair before you weave up. Getting rid of build up on the scalp and hair will ensure that you don't have itchy scalp within days of installation.

Even if you wash your weave and the hair under the weave, the products won't penetrate as much as when your hair is lose. ***Get a braid spray or make your own. This is to keep your hair moisturized under the weave. It's better to have it on hand prior to getting the weave so you can start the moisturizing process

I bought the Dove heat defense conditioner when it was on sale at The Game, Accra Mall. It was hard getting reviews online about this conditioner probably because it isn't really something people know of. However, the curiousity in me pushed me to pick it up and I don't regret it. What I do regret is not picking up more bottles because the price has been increased now. I talk about the consistency, slip, how I use it and how my hair responds to it.
