Quick Weave: Step-by-Step Process

A Quick Weave is a classic, protective hairstyle where hair extensions are bonded to a protective cap placed over your natural hair, allowing for a flawless look in less time than traditional sew-ins.

Step 1: Hair Prep & Cleansing

The natural hair is thoroughly cleansed and deep conditioned to remove product buildup and ensure a healthy base.

Step 2: Hair is Braided or Molded

The natural hair is either:

• Braided flat into cornrows, or

• Molded down using styling gel or setting foam for a sleek base.

This helps create a flat surface and protects your natural hair underneath.

Step 3: Protective Cap Application

A protective weaving cap is placed over your braided or molded hair. This serves as a barrier, shielding your natural hair from direct contact with bonding glue.

Optional: Some stylists add a paper wrap or growth oil treatment under the cap for added protection.

Step 4: Wefts are Bonded

Hair extensions (wefts) are carefully glued onto the cap, starting from the nape and working up toward the crown. Each track is measured, trimmed, and applied with precision for a natural, layered finish.

Step 5: Closure or Leave-Out

Depending on the desired style:

• A closure may be added for a full protective style, or

• A small portion of natural hair is left out to blend seamlessly with the weave.

Step 6: Cut, Style, & Finish

The hair is then:

• Shaped and layered to complement your face,

• Styled using heat tools or rollers, and

• Finished with shine sprays or serums for a polished, luxurious look.
