The Weave Method for Hair Extensions

Georgina’s method for artificial hair integrations is becoming increasingly popular with brides to be for their wedding day hairstyle. The weave method is safe and secure and will last up to 8 weeks if well maintained, even if you go swimming every day whilst on your honeymoon! The beauty of the weave is that is requires no glue and so the extensions will not fall out when you wash you hair or get it wet for any other reason. Because there is no glue, there is also no damage to the natural hair as bonds can weaken your hair and improper removal can result in hair being much finer than before the extensions were fitted – the last thing a beautiful new bride needs!

So you may be wondering how a weave works:

First of all, hair at the back of the head is braided flat against the scalp in what are called canerows/cornrows. This provides an anchor for the hair extensions to be attached to. The wefts then are sewn onto the braids in rows and about 5-6 rows should be sufficient to achieve a natural look.

Because at Georgina’s we use 100% human hair in our weaves, you can then go on to create an array of styles since the hair can be treated just like you natural hair i.e. it can be put in rollers or can be tonged and straightened to your heart’s content.

The added length and fullness that the hair extensions offer mean that you can achieve a fabulous up-do for your special day and still look just as glamorous for the following weeks whilst on your honeymoon, with very minimal up-keep. The extensions can be washed as normal hair would be. All that we recommend is that you buy a good quality serum for blow-drying and straightening as the extensions will sometimes get quite dry looking, particularly the blonde colours, and the oils from the serum will soon improve the look and feel of them.
