How to Perfectly Blend Hair with Weave

While we do offer a number of options for our customers to wear sew in hair weaves with little to no hair out such as closure pieces and lace frontals, some ladies prefer to leave a section of hair out for added versatility and a more realistic look. With this option, unless your hair's texture matches the extensions perfectly, some amount of blending will be required for a flawless installation. Note: Choosing the right color and texture is essential for a seamless blend. When selecting extensions, it's important to choose a reputable brand to ensure quality and a natural blend with your own hair. For the most natural look, go with 100% real human hair. Most ladies do not want weaves that are high maintenance, so here are a few easy tips to help you blend your weave. Remember, maintaining both your hair and the extensions is key to achieving a seamless look.

Understanding Hair Types

When it comes to perfectly blending your weave with your natural hair, understanding your hair type is absolutely essential. Every head of hair is unique, and knowing whether your natural hair is straight, wavy, curly, or coily will make all the difference in how seamlessly your hair extensions blend for a realistic, flawless finish. The right match in texture and color is key to achieving that sleek hairline and natural look you're after.

Start by identifying your hair's texture and pattern. If you have curly hair, opt for curly hair extensions that align with your natural curl pattern - this will help control frizz and make blending effortless. For those with straight hair, straight extensions will create a smooth, cohesive style. The goal is to match both the texture and the volume of your natural hair with your extensions, so the transition is undetectable.

Material matters, too. Human hair extensions are a favorite among beauty enthusiasts because they can be styled, colored, and treated just like your own hair, delivering a seamless and natural result. While synthetic extensions are more budget-friendly, they may not offer the same level of realism or durability.

Don't forget about color! For the most natural blend, choose extensions that match your hair color as closely as possible. Many brands offer a wide range of shades, so take the time to compare and even consult with stylists or use color-matching services if available. This attention to detail will help you create a cohesive, beautiful look.

Choosing the Right Weave

Selecting the perfect weave is a game-changer when it comes to achieving a seamless blend with your natural hair. The right weave not only enhances your beauty but also boosts your confidence, making every day a great hair day. To create a truly natural look, it's essential to focus on a few key factors: texture, color, material, and style.

Start by considering the texture of both your hair and the hair extensions you're interested in. Whether your natural hair is curly, wavy, or straight, there's a weave out there designed to match and blend effortlessly. Pay attention to the density and volume of your natural hair as well - choosing a weave that aligns with these qualities will help you achieve a realistic, full-bodied finish.

Virgin Hair Weaves

Material is another crucial element. High-quality human hair extensions are a favorite for their versatility and natural appearance, allowing you to style with heat and even color to match your own hair. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, synthetic weaves offer a wide range of textures and colors, though they may not deliver the same level of realism or durability. Always opt for reputable brands known for their quality and innovation to ensure your weave looks and feels natural.

Color matching is where attention to detail really pays off. For the most seamless blend, select a weave that closely matches your natural hair color. Many brands offer color-matching services, and you can also consult with stylists or use online tools to find your perfect shade.

Tame Your Edges!

Having a smooth, sleek hairline is like the icing on the cake to a great weave installation. It gives your hair a polished and more professional appearance and can even help to conceal tracks placed around the perimeter of your head. Edge slicking, controlling, and smoothing products are wildly popular these days so we suggest finding one that works well for you, but a few customer favorites are Ampro's Silk Edges ($4) and Hick's Edge Control ($16).

Twist or Braid at Night

Nothing is worse than seeing the texture of your hair extensions lying beautifully against your head - with the waves and curls popping, only to have your natural hair sitting on top like a rat's nest! Try twisting or braiding your hair at night, intertwining your hair with the hair extensions so the two textures blend together seamlessly when you undo the twists the next morning.

Control Fly-Aways

Virgin hair tends to frizz a bit in humidity, making the separation of your hair extensions and natural hair much more noticeable. Try using silicone based glossifiers to help silken both textures and block humidity from causing frizz. Also rub a bit of your edge product overtop of your leave out (lightly) to help your hair to lay nicely.

Keep It Conditioned

Whether speaking about your natural hair or your Perfect Locks hair extensions, both require regular maintenance and care to look their best. Be sure to condition your natural hair to prevent dryness and breakage and the extensions to keep them soft and supple. Hair that is in great condition looks great as well.

Try these tips and no one will be able to detect your hair from your extensions, leaving you with a perfectly blended weave!
