What is involved in creating an afro weave?

Creating an afro weave primarily involves sewing textured hair to cornrows. This method is popular because it provides a secure and natural-looking style that can blend seamlessly with the wearer’s own hair texture. By sewing the textured hair into cornrows, the stylist can ensure that the weave remains stable and durable, allowing for a more prolonged wear without damaging the natural hair underneath.

This technique also allows for versatility in styling; the wearer can maintain their natural curl pattern while also enjoying the added length and volume that the weave provides. Furthermore, it provides a way to protect the natural hair from heat and styling products, promoting hair health. The sewing method is generally preferred over other methods, such as gluing or twisting, as it minimizes potential damage to the natural hair and can be easier to maintain.
