The term hair weave is used for permanent hair extensions (which are actually not permanent, but typically last for a few months). A hair weave makes natural hair longer and fuller by integrating either real or synthetic hair with it. It can also be used specifically to create a hair style such as braids or cornrows. This page is a guide on how to get a hair weave.

Introduction
- Although weaving is one method of attaching permanent hair extensions, the term hair weave is often used for all types of permanent hair extensions. A weave will make the hair look longer and fuller, and add body and texture to otherwise lifeless locks.
Step 1: Types of Hair Used
- Either natural or synthetic hair can be used for a hair weave.
- Natural hair is much more expensive, but can be treated and styled as regular hair, which especially an advantage when the hair weave is not attached in a particular style such as braiding or cornweaves and might require styling later on.
- Synthetic hair is cheaper, but often cannot be styled with hair dryer, curling irons, flat irons or other styling tools.
- Hair weaves with natural hair typically last longer.
- Natural hair is not necessarily human; sometimes animal hair is used.
Step 2: Methods
- There are many methods used to attach a hair weave.
- Hair weaves can be attached by weaving the hair into the natural hair. In this process, the hair is sewn into the natural hair.
- Hair weaves can also be attached by adhesives such as glue or by braiding.
Step 3: Getting it Done
- Hair weaves are best done by professional hair stylists or people who are experienced in hair extensions. When choosing where to get a hair weave done, consider this:
- Ask to see pictures of the person's work.
- Ask what types of method is usually used.
- Ask how often the hair weaves will need to be replaced.
- Some stylists will provide the hair extensions for you, while others will require you to purchase and bring hair extensions.
