Hey guys so i have finished reading the article, and there seems to be a lot of stuff we coud definitely fix up! Im going to do some research and see if i can contribute more sources and information to the intro. CharithF (talk) 01:56, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

It is suggested on the page that we merge this page with artificial hair integrations page what do you guys think?? there is already a section on that page for weaves but it is very brief maybe it could be included here?? Kuteyiay (talk) 01:58, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

That is a possibility, im still doing research CharithF (talk)

Hi guys! So I read the article and it really needs a lot of editing but am sure we will be able to do a great job by adding required info and discarding the irrelevant ones. The page needs remoulding as it is quite out of date. I think that we should merge this page once we finish editing it if it seems like it would blend well with the other page Osasonao (talk) 02:08, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I was looking through the hair weave techniques and they seem quite outdated, from my knowledge the current and relevant hair techniques used for hair weave now are: sew-in, glue-on and lacefront wigs and frontals. I will be researching these throughly and focusing specifically on this section for now Osasonao (talk) 02:16, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay Toke and Charith sounds good! I will be working on the general quality of the article focusing on citations and trying to make it more from a neutral standpoint. We should use this page to practice any type of text editing or formatting to show eachother what we have done or what errors we have encountered so we can help each other out!

Thanks Toke! Even though we are not yet finished editing I have proposed a merger with the Artificial hair integrations page. Kuteyiay (talk) 04:15, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

The most popular and commonly available form of hair is known as premium hair. It is sold in the majority of beauty supply stores worldwide. The roots and tips of hairs are interwoven in premium hair which causes tangling. This is due to the opposing cuticle layers catching onto one another. However; as it is the most inexpensive type of hair, it is the best seller.

Premium hair comes in two types:

• Regular premium hair: generally the least expensive type of hair. The cuticles are present in different directions and the hair is prone to tangling.
• "Tangle-free" premium hair: this is obtained by chemically removing the cuticles using an acid bath. This process reduces the friction among hairs, leaving the remains tangle-free hair. In order to give the appearance of natural healthy hair, a laminate is applied to the hair to give it a shiny and silky look.

this is what i am editing in the article from the first section about hair wefts. Kuteyiay (talk) 23:02, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

ATTN: I have copied the article to the sandbox so that we can monitor eachothers changes and edit them together before saving changes to the official wikipedia page just in case of formatting error AND keep referring to the page we will be merging with to make sure there are no duplicates and if editing a section from that page please copy the original here before saving to that page. THANKS, happy editing. Kuteyiay (talk) 05:18, 28 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Osasonao (talk • contribs)

Bami I agree with your changes and i think to make everything more organized we should move our general chatter to your talk page and just leave this page for the article and all the edits we would like to take place so right now i will copy and paste our previous chatter to your talk page !Osasonao (talk) 16:08, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

So everything has now been transferred and the sandbox is soley for editing even though we have already edited the original wikipedia page prior to this it is better now it is in the Sandbox just makes it easier for everyone.Osasonao (talk) 16:19, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks toke, I added some images to the article in the sandbox just need to create captions, I took these pictures myself and all other pictures I upload are all original work. I have now added a total of 4 pictures and I believe this is all we need.Kuteyiay (talk) 16:43, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Looking good guys! so I have taken a good look at the Artificial hair integrations page and the things which are mentioned there and also in this article are, Clip-in extensions, bonding and sealing and weaves. However these sections are minimal and can definetly be expanded upon. It also talks about virgin hair etc. I have taken the screen shots of this page before we touch it at all. Much of this Hair weaves article we are working on will have to be shortened CharithF (talk) 17:17, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I think it might be easier to write in this talk page what you are planing on changing and then preview it on the original page hair weave and then come back to the sandbox and edit it here before saving changes on the original, just because the way it is copied into the sandbox it is a bit harder to edit than on the original with the orgainzed bolded heading etc, This is just my opinion but you can do it however you want to just make sure the changes are both on the sandbox and the original all changes need to be made before 11pm tonight so that Bami can go ahead with the merge. Also I am finidng it helpful to have numerous tabs open of the sandbox talk page and 2 original articlesCharithF (talk) 17:37, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys! I made some changes to the bonding hair technique.What do you think? Bonding Bonding is an approach to hair weave that lasts for a shorter period of time in comparison to sew-in weave. It involves the application of hair glue to a section of wefted hair then onto a person's natural hair; special hair adhesives are used in bonding to prevent damage to one's natural hair. This technique is commonly used and does not cause damage to the hair unless taken out without proper directions from a professional. It is advised that weave bonding be installed for up to 3 weeks because glue begins to loosen up and lessens the attractiveness of the hair. There are 2 types of bonds: soft bond which is flexible and comfortable to wear and are made using latex,acrylic or silicon and hard bond which is the professional name for super glue. Hard bond adhesives lasts longer than soft bond adhesives because it is not water based and therefore does not fall apart. The hard bond adhesives are also not as comfortable as the soft bond adhesive because they are rigid. These bond attachments generally last 4–6 weeks before a maintenance appointment is necessaryOsasonao (talk) 22:02, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys! so i've edited the introduction, took out a lot of repeated information and added the history, here it is.

"Hair weave is a very general term used to describe human or artificial hair typically utilized for the integration with one’s natural hair. Weaves can alter one's appearance for long or short periods of time by adding further hair to one's natural hair or by covering the natural hair all together with human or synthetic hair pieces. Weaving additional human or synthetic pieces can enhance once hair by giving it volume, length, adding colour without the damage of chemicals, or adopting a different hair texture than that of their own.

The idea of hair weaves and extensions fist came about in the early days of ancient Egypt, where men and woman utilized extensions in their hair to portray a more elegant appearance. By the late 17th century, wigs in various shapes and sizes became a latest fashion trend. Hair weaves in particular, did not grow interest until the 1950’s; even during that time celebrities had been the only ones using them. When the “long, disco-haired” era evolved there started to become a widespread of hairweave. Since that era, hair weave has only become more popular, especially since the 1990s mostly among Africa American women opting for a straight-hair look definitely making it a “staple in the beauty and glamour” industry."
