SHIMMERING SPIRALS
NORTH CHARLESTON, SC

Ange Kovako of Upscale Hair Salon in North Charleston, SC, uses sew-in hair extensions to create a voluminous style.

These delicate spirals are the perfect balance between tight curls and ultra-loose waves. Strands are braided into cornrows to prepare for a sew-in weave application, leaving tresses out on top to keep the look more natural. A sewing net is applied over cornrows and off-black 18-inch virgin Indian extensions are sewn in. Extensions are then razored around the face, with shears used to layer the back. Softening spirals with a brush creates a wavy look, while a flat iron is used to smooth crown lengths. A light oil sheen and holding spray are used to finished coif.

REAL-WEAR TIPS

Weave guru and celebrity stylist Dr. Boogie offers up great information about weave selection and maintenance…

CHOOSE THE RIGHT TEXTURE “Get hair the matches your hair texture,” comments Dr. Boogie. “It boils down to picking the texture that blends with your own hair.”

TREAT YOUR TRESSES “When you have a weave and your hair is braided up underneath, it’s very important you take that opportunity to oil your scalp—especially if your edges are thin or pulled back,” explains the weave expert.
