In a study by DailyMakeover.com women are cutting back on hair styling costs to save money. Many women are using cheaper products, going to the salon less often and others are turning to weaves as a hair styling option.
Money generated from hair industry for weaving last year was approximately $16 billion. 30 million women are suffering from some form of hair loss. Hair weaving is a big industry.
There are several different kinds of weaves: partial weaves, full weaves, short, long, medium length waves, weaves in all different colors, and hair textures, Remi, Brazilian, Lace, Fusion, Malaysian, Human, Yak, braid weaves, and glue weaving.
Weaves can last up to 3 months. It can take 1-5 hours to add a weave to your hair. You can get weaves, cut, styled or colored any way you like. Weaves can cost anywhere from $100 - $1,000. Here are 4 benefits of a hair weave:
1. Save money on hair stylist costs
2. Protects hair from heat and styling
3. Hair grows faster
4. Provides more flexible with styling and activities – can exercise without worrying about your hairstyle, etc.
Here are 3 disadvantages of a hair weave:
1. Must care for weave on a regular basis
2. Weaves can damage hair if not put on by a trained hair professional
3. All weaves are not the same, go for the quality of a weave versus the cost of the weave
