| FAQ |
| |
1) Which kind of weave
or extension technique will look most natural and fitting for
a client’s hair? |
The condition of the client’s
hair from its strongest to weakest areas best determines the
correct weaving or fusion method. A weave and natural hair blend
together more beautifully when some scalp or hairline shows.
The Corn Row Sewn In method is excellent for hair that has
been damaged and needs rest from any heat styling.
The Invisible Weave method is a weave that lays flat and works
best with healthy hair. The track hair is sewn in without a
corn row to add length, bolder colors and fullness. Another
alternative for adding length, thickness and colors is achieved
through the Keratin Fusion bond method. To achieve the
most natural hair looking additions, several methods can be
combined.
May works with the client to select a weave suitable to their
lifestyle. For example, clients who exercise regularly
should choose a texture/style/cut that needs little heat or manipulation. |
| |
2) What
kind of weave or extension hair is durable and how much hair
is needed for a weave or fusion service? |
May supplies and suggests clients
to use 100% human hair or for waver hair patterns, 100% Indian
Remy hair best matches the natural hair. The hair comes in several
different patterns starting from Silky Straight to Deep French
Waves. 100% Human Remy hair feels very light, flat and is comfortable
to wear. All of the cuticles are intact and placed in the correct
directions. The hair does not matt, tangle or dry out. It
has a natural shine with no artificial gloss. The hair is very
secure to wear, lasts more than 3 months and can be shampooed
over a 100 times. Indian Remy hair best blends with most texture
hair and can be reused. However if it is not in your budget to
purchase Indian Remy hair, your other alternative is to supply
your own hair using 100% human hair. But some brands can not
be reuse more then twice.Remember higher quality hair can help
the longevity of your weave.
The texture should be one that compliments your complexion
and facial features. May will help clients select hair that
looks the way their own hair looks when straightened for a
more natural appearance.
*For full weaves, 8 ounces of hair is needed and equals to 2
packs of hair.
*For a partial weave, 4 ounces of hair is needed and equals to
1 pack of hair.
*For Fusion, the same quantity is recommended for full or partial
extensions but with loose or bulk hair instead.
May supplies 100% Remy Indian hair.
* A full payment for hair purchases is required
two weeks before the scheduled weave appointment.
For weaves: A $100. deposit is require to secure appointment
when clients choose to supply their own hair.
For extensions: A required 50% deposit is required
two weeks prior to schedule appointment |

| 3) How
long will a Weave or Extensions last? |
Hair Weaves:
The basics are important when it comes to the longevity of a good
weave. It is suggested that a weave stay in for no
more than two months with regular weekly or biweekly shampoo
and conditioning treatments. The textures hair from coarse
to fine also determines the length of time a weave should
stay in. For coarser hair, the braided hair is less likely
to matt and tangle together as with finer textures, the curl
patterns are closer together causing a greater chance for
tangles. It is also necessary to get the weave tightened
four to six weeks through the process. Keeping the weave
in any longer can cause the hair to begin dreading with the
braided hair under the weave. A strong foundation for a hair
weave is needed to help it last longer but at the same time
leaving room for hair growth. The hair is braided firmly
but not too tightly. This method allows for less hair breakage
and leaves room for hair to grow.
Extensions:
Fusions can last up to 6-16 weeks (4 months). However,
it is healthier to remove the fusions after 3 to 4 months.
As the hair grows out from the root, the fusion bonds move
along with the hair growth. When there is one to two inches
of new growth, it is best to remove the bonds to avoid any
pulling on the new hair. The bonds have less natural hair to
hold on to because as the virgin hair grows, some hair will
shed. When there is less hair for the bonds to hold on
to there is too much weight on the remaining natural hair from
the fusions. If the extensions are not removed timely,
the hair is at risk of damage to the new growth.
Rest assured that May keeps date records
for all clients’ hair care services.
NOTE: FOR EXTENSIONS SERVICES-A
RELEASE STATEMENT NEEDS TO BE SIGNED PRIOR TO SERVICE. |

4) How should a weave
be styled? |
In order to obtain a perfectly
shaped weave; cut is a major factor. Every weave
needs to be shaped after considering the client’s head
size and facial shape. Too much hair can look like a wig. May
uses the Razor or thinning method to take some of the weight
out of the weave, making the weave appear more realistic. |
| |
5) What is the maintenance
and products recommended for a weave and extensions? |
Brush-through the hair daily in
order to prevent tangling and matting. Oil-based products are
not recommended on hair that has weaves or extensions. A
gentle cleansing product such as the 1st Lather Shampoo by Kera
Care is a favorite choice as a cleansing shampoo. The
1st lather shampoo thoroughly washes out the impurities from
the scalp and hair. Mazani In-Leave Conditioner detangles
the hair without weighing it down. A light silicone base shine
product works wonders to add radiance. Use a paddle brush for
weaves and extensions.
- May encourages clients to detangle their
hair daily. Natural hair sheds and if it becomes tangled
in the braids, clients could experience unnecessary hair
loss when the tracks are removed.
- If client wash their weave at home, make
sure the hair dries properly after washing and conditioning.
If not, the wet braided hair can promote mildew (not a healthy
or pleasant smelling scalp condition). Invest in a good dryer.
- Client needs to regularly schedule appointments
for PROTEIN TREATMENTS before and
after a weave to strengthen hair and to promote new growth. Depending
on the hair condition, treatments are available ranging from
mild to extra strength.
