BEAUTY KLINIC

Are you looking for an amazingly versatile hairstyle? Do you want something that is undetectable? If so, an interlock weave is perfect for you! Also known as tree braids, an interlock weave is a great strand-by-strand hair weaving method that uses cornrows as the foundation of the style.

Interlock weaves can be a little hard to understand at first, but with enough practice, you can create a beautiful weave that all your friends will ask you about. Interlocking gives you all the health of braids, but the look and feel of free-flowing hair.

The hair should be washed and conditioned thoroughly before beginning the style. Your first part will be in a circular direction around the perimeter of the head, and should be no more than 1 1/4” thick. This hair will be used to cover and blend with the weave, so you can cornrow this hair to get it out of the way.

Now you’re ready to start your interlock weave! Start by sectioning off a small piece of hair that is parallel to your cornrow. Start on one side of the part and make a small section that you will start your cornrow off with. Begin cornrowing the client’s hair in that same circular direction. Pinch off a small piece of extension hair from the pack and add this piece to the two outside strands of your braid.

Once you’ve done that, follow these instructions:

1. After you add the extension hair to the braid, cornrow just one more time.

2. Once you have cornrowed down once, remove a small section of the extension hair from the braid. Move it to the side or hold it out of the way with a butterfly clip.

3. Cornrow down once. Then, start all over again by adding the small piece of extension hair to the two outside strands of your braid.

4. Cornrow again and move a piece of the hair to the side.

5. Cornrow again and add your extension hair to the two outer strands.

Follow this pattern around the entire head. When you reach the top, you should have one long cornrow that covers the entire head and has extension hair flowing freely from the cornrow. Add extra extension hair to your cornrows when you reach the top of the head for a fuller look.

Braid the remaining hair and coil it into the cornrows. Be very careful and patient with the top; your goal is to make the top as flat as possible. Sew the braid into your existing cornrows for a secure hold. This can be challenging, but remember, practice makes perfect.

The last step in finishing your interlock weave is to remove the cornrows you created from the outer section, and using your fingers, work to blend the client’s hair in with the weave and cover any cornrows that are in sight.

best hair style for fine hair

Thinning or fine hair can be particularly difficult to style correctly. Going to the hairdressers can be a traumatic even in itself.

For guys, keeping the hair short is often the best option. Under no circumstances try to grow your hair long and hide your thinning hair. The last thing that will happen is the desired ‘covering up.

If you have a dark scalp dyeing hair dark helps to ‘camouflage’ the thinning and visa versa for lighter hair.

There are lots of hair shampoos and conditioners that add volume to thinning hair.

It is often best for women to have neck length hair cuts as hair that is too long emphasises the problem, as is similar to men.

A short bob cut works wonders for women with thinning hair, adding body, especially when used in conjunction with a layered hair cut. With the right cut thinning hair can be tranformed and the stressful visit to the hairdresser can become a much more pleasant experience.

Thinking of getting a sleek new Sienna Miller haircut this summer?

What’s becoming on a heart-shaped mug may not flatter a woman with an oblong or square-shaped face. A perfect oval may be able to pull off many different hair lengths and styles, but a soft-featured, round face looks most pleasing in longer hair.

Knowing the contours of your face and what complements it is the key to choosing a haircut that’s not only in style but also looks right on you. So important is face shape in determining how to cut hair, that many cosmetology schools devote two days to the study of face shapes.
