...Wearing Quick Weaves versus Sew-ins Today women are more likely to be wearing not just the latest fashion, but also weave. There are many styles and methods when it comes to applying weaves. All techniques of weaves styles have different procedures; some may seem more difficult to apply than others. The two most popular techniques are quick weaves and sew-ins. Quick weaves and sew-ins differ in technique, care and cost. A quick weave is a method of installing hair extensions to hair without leaving out any natural hair. The hair extensions are attached to the natural hair by either adding gel to the natural hair to lay it down or by braiding the natural hair down to the scalp and then gluing the hair extensions down on top of that. With this method a person do not have to worry about choosing a color to match the natural hair, or about blending the hair extensions in with the natural hair. This method also gives a very flat and non bulky look to the hair extensions. A Quick Weave can last up to 4 weeks with proper maintenance. It could last longer but the natural hair needs to be washed and deep conditioned every month, especially when wearing braids or hair extensions regularly. To maintain a Quick Weave style a person should never put any oil based product onto the extension hair, for straight styles a person should wrap the hair every night and tie it up with a satin bonnet or satin scarf, for curly styles a person should apply light mouse and roller set to the hair overnight...

...Weave Expansion Opportunity Sitting at my desk, I turn to a popular R&B station. On the air is the host talking to the owner of a wig shop. The owner is describing different types of popular weaves worn by African American women. Weaves are extensions women use to lengthen or add volume to their own hair. The majority of the human and synthetic weaves are long, straight, and curly. The owner continues to describe how many women exert confidence women while wearing them. As a woman, I don’t disagree; there is nothing more powerful than a woman who feels beautiful. However, as an African American woman, I know the trend is natural hair. Natural hair is hairs which has not been permed or straighten –like the weaves described earlier. The owner didn’t describe any weaves of natural texture. Apparently, natural hair wearers didn’t have an option to lengthen or voluminous their hair. Nevertheless, when the owner began answering caller’s questions, my views about her product was confirmed. According to the owner, they don’t offer a weave product for natural hair –yet! Eureka, the owner spots an opportunity within the hair/weave industry and I hear her mentally formulate a plan taking the product to manufacturers, to distributors, to retailers, and finally to customers who need it –desire it. Product Mix/Product Lines So to begin, the owner of the wig shop has to fine-tune her product mix or product lines of natural hair that she can offer her customers. Because of her expertise...

In this lesson you will find answers to these and other similar questions. 6.2 Objectives After reading this lesson you will be able to do the following: describe and classify fibres; use the burning test to identify various fibres; state the characteristics of fibres; define a yarn; explain the methods of fabric formation. 84 :: Home Science 6.3 Fibres Do you know what fabrics are made of? Take a cloth and pull out a thread. Untwist to loosen this thread. You will see that it is made up of smaller threads or hair like strands. Pull out one of these. This single hair like strand is called a fibre. A fibre is a hair like strand from which all fabrics are made. Classification of fibres Instead of a cloth, now pull fibres from a ball of cotton. What do you see? These fibres are very small. These are called staple fibres. Try and pull fibres from a fibres from a nylon fabric. These are long fibres. Such fibres are called filament fibres or simply filaments. Hence, you can classify fibres into two groups. See the following box. Short fibres Long fibres Staple fibre Filament fibre Fibres can also be classifed on the basis of their origin. Natural Fibres: Some fibres are obtained from...

...Abstract Hair and health have an existing relationship, yet little is known about the relationship between stylist hair care practices and encouragement of self-care in the African American community. The hair cosmetic industry has undergone a revolutionary change over the last two decades, dramatically veering from merely cleaning to repair, increasing the tensile strength, reducing oxidative damage, and stimulating growth. Unfortunately, the psychological and physical consequences of improper hair care by stylists have resulted in “hair stress” in the African American community (Winfield, 2008). The problem under investigation is what are physical and psychological processes of growing healthy African American hair, where people look good on the outside and feel good on the inside. This study utilizes a content analysis approach for using YouTube tutorials to support the “Growing Hands Theory” that encourages proper hair care practices related to physical and mental health for people of African descent. Core Concept Definition Healthy Hair Healthy hair is a result of hair care and self-care. Hair care varies from different hair types because all hair is not the same, but all hair benefits from individuals having appropriate nutrition, hydration, exercise, stress management, and restorative sleep. Strausfogel (2013), focuses on internal and external strategies for better hair growth. Many of these products that claim...

Procedure 1) For a test at room temperature, place a small sample of the fiber in the test tube and chemical solvent are added into the tube with a 10 ml graduated pipette. (Remark: About 1 ml of solvent per 10 mg of fiber). 2) If the test is conducted at the boiling point of the solvent, first boil a beaker of water on a Bunsen burner. Place the fiber sample in the test solvent in a test tube and immerse in the heated water bath. Keep watch so that the solvent does not boil dry. 3) For the Dimethyl-formamide solvent or its mixture with formic acid, the test should be conducted in the fame cupboard. 4) Start the test at the left end of the ladder structure showed in Figure 1, i.e. treatment with cold acetone. Fiber Identification: Burning Test A. Specimen Preparation Prepare the sample by twisting the fiber sample to a long thin form of about 5 - 8 cm. If the sample is yarn, double it to a thick ribbon of suitable length. If the sample is in piece form, cut a strip of 1/2 cm wide and suitable length. B. Testing Procedure 1) Set up a small non-luminous bunsen-flame.
