Keep Your Weave Clean!

I recently saw this post on MissJia.com.

Video: Bet You Didn’t Know Atlanta Had Ratchet Weave Commercials….

There is a link to a hilarious commercial for a hair extension company. In the ad, a young man takes out his boo for a surprise … to get a new weave. He complained about the odor and asks her to change it. While I found this terrifically funny, it addresses the issue of personal hygiene when it comes to extensions. I have no problem with people wearing weaves, braids, or any type of extensions. If it’s cute, do you. What I do have an issue with funky smells. There is really no excuse for it. There are several resources on how to keep your weave and hair clean.

• Good Hair Diaries – Sew-In Weave Hair Regimen 2011
• Black hair kitchen – How To Wash Your Weave
• and our good friend, Google.

Think about it this way. You probably won’t go more than a day without bathing. Imagine if you decided not to take a bath for a month. I don’t think too many people will be lining up to hang out with you. If done properly, washing your weave/extensions will not ruin the style. It may actually make it look fresh again.

Keep your weaves and extensions clean! 🙂
