Reflection #8
My project is to learn how to braid hair, install, and style hair. I was not as busy this week, but I did not braid as much as I planned on. I did watch videos at home and in school though. I watched "Best Braid Patter For A Sew in Weave," "Basic Sew in Start to Finish," and "Braid pattern for sew in with invisible part." In the last video it brings up the invisible part, which is a weave "closure" and none of the person's real hair is out. In the invisible part, the weave is lined up to appear as the part itself. I also read about weave being a protective style. So, some women do not get weave because they do not think their hair is long enough or nice enough, some get it to protect their already long or nice hair. Others use weave as a way to grow out their hair. For example, my sister got a perm when she was 12 and it broke her hair and it became damaged. Last year, at age 20, she decided to cut her hair, go natural, and grow it out. As a way to protect her hair, she got weaves. With weave, one does not have to continuously put heat on their own hair, but the hair they purchased. On the other hand, if a person does not have a "closure" or "invisible part", they will have to still style their leave out (hair left out of the weave) in order to blend it with the weave. Hair that is not blended looks absolutely horrible!!! That is actually one of my biggest pet peeves!!! I also hate when people's tracks (the track of weave sewed into the hair) show!! Tonight, I am going to do the circle and try and convince my cheer coach to let me install her weave because yesterday she was telling me she bought new hair and needs someone to install it.
This picture shows an invisible part sew in weave.
This picture shows hair that is not blended.
This one has her hair tracks showing.
