Before and After: 7 Shoulder Length Quick Weave Transformations That Maximize Volume
By David Miller
Can a quick weave damage thin or fragile edges?
When applied using the protective cap method, the adhesive never touches your natural hair or edges. However, braid tension can cause stress. If your edges are severely weakened, ask your stylist to omit perimeter braids and instead lay the hairline flat with a gentle aloe or setting foam beneath the protective wrap.
How many bundles of human hair are needed for a shoulder-length cut?
Two bundles are usually plenty for a realistic, high-density shoulder-length style. Because the hair is trimmed shorter, 12-inch and 14-inch bundles retain a lot of natural thickness from root to tip. Using three full bundles often makes the install look unnaturally bulky and puts unnecessary weight on the cap.
Can I wash my hair while wearing a shoulder-length quick weave?
Vigorous shampooing can loosen the bonding adhesive. However, you can use dry shampoos on the leave out, or carefully wipe down your exposed scalp parts with an astringent-dipped cotton pad. If the foundation gets completely soaked, dry it thoroughly under a hooded dryer, as damp braid foundations run the risk of developing mildew.
