Many women enjoy the benefits of weave hairstyles. These flexible alternatives to hair styling have become popular especially in these modern days when quick fixes and convenience make hectic schedules more manageable. But it also means that many ladies end up with hair thinning from weave.
This is a situation that can occurs whether the style is done professionally or at home. It usually results from the techniques used to create the hairstyle along with the methods used to maintain it. Sometimes even the removal of the hair-do can trigger hair thinning or loss.
One of the methods of installing weaves is by sewing them in. This method entails a process in which the stylist first creates some cornrows in the customers hair. This is followed by the sewing of wefts of locks into the cornrows. The tightness of the cornrows themselves places intense pressure on the follicles causing breakage and loss as well as thinning. More of this happens when the thread is cut from the cornrows, taking with it some of the strands, as the style is removed.
This thinning effect is often because of the glue that is used during the installation of weaves. The glue is often used to line cornrows of hair to which each waft of locks is attached. When this is being removed, original strands rooted in the scalp can become attached to the glue and then get pulled away from their roots leading to thinning or bald spots.
Bacterial infections are common with tight weaves, which occur with both sew-ins as well as glue-ins. If the braids that are used as the foundation for the style are too tight they may break the skin at the hairline or in other areas of the scalp. When the broken skin is infiltrated by dirt or bacteria infection results. This infection, if not treated can lead to permanent thinning or balding.
Sometimes the manner in which the natural locks are cared for causes thinning to occur under the weave. Strands of hair are often lost through bad weave maintenance practices. Many women try to get the most out of their weaves by keeping them in for longer than recommended. This also contributes to the thinning or balding effect. According to experts in the field this is a hairstyle that should never be kept in for longer than twelve weeks.
Allergic or other negative reactions to the products used account for many of the weave-related balding or thinning issues. Many women do not realize until it is too late that they are allergic to the hair glue or the synthetic tresses that they wear. Some do not even recognize the signs until it is too late.
For many women the hair loss may be temporary, but for some it turns into a permanent condition. This has a really negative impact on the woman's self esteem. This is why so many victims of this conditions seek the assistance of experts in the fields of dermatology or trichology.
