Your hair weave needs constant maintenance in order to retain its original luster and shine. That’s why you need the very best black hair weave products so your mane collection is always at its best!

Here are some of our favorite products for weaves.

The Best Shampoos for Weaves

Dirt tends to show up pretty quickly on weaves, particularly if they’re straight. However, constant washing can leave the hair damaged and brittle.

Clairol’s Shimmer Lights Shampoo offers a best of both worlds scenario – it’s normally meant for people with grey hair, but it works wonders on weaves and extensions. It makes sure your weave’s color doesn’t fade, and keeps the hair shiny and bright. Plus, it easily removes any dirt and film on the hair without stripping it of its health.

For added nourishment, try Hask Mint Almond Oil Shampoo – it totally soaks the hair in revitalizing nutrients and cleanses it while keeping it soft. We also love OGX Coconut Milk Shampoo, which is particularly suited for brazilian straight hair. This natural product has no harsh chemicals, and maintains the quality of your hair well.

Then there’s dry shampoo; we recommend the ones sold by TRESemme’. This product absorbs the dirt in your straight weaves easily, and is a great way to keep your hair looking fresh between washes. And it leaves straight extensions looking sleeker and shinier than ever!

The Best Conditioners for Weaves

Conditioners are an essential part of the hair extension upkeep routine, which is why it’s so important to invest in the right product! We highly recommend the Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol Treatment – work it through the extension, and it will leave your hair moisturized beyond belief! You could even let it in for more than an hour if you want to deep condition the hair.

For a lite conditioner, we love Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Conditioner. It works wonders on hair that has turned stiff or dry, reversing the problem until the extensions are back to their original glory. This is a product that can be used as a leave-in – apply it throughout the virgin hair weave and let it stay overnight as it dries.

Shimmer Lights Conditioner is the counterpart to Shimmer Lights Shampoo from earlier, and it too, is primarily meant for people with grey hair. However, it manages to work just fine on extensions. Use the shampoo to clean the hair, and the conditioner to keep the goodness locked in! This conditioner ensures the color remains refreshed over time, and counteracts any fading.

And finally, there’s the OGX Conditioner, which is both affordable and excellent for straight hair in particular. Not only are you going to get superb results with this product, but it’s also lightweight and smells great! It’ll keep your straight extensions silky and shiny.

If you’re not a fan of shampoos for cleansing hair, not to worry! There are plenty of conditioners that can remove dirt and buildup from your weaves, even as they offer moisture and shine. The OGX line is definitely something you should check out in this regard!

Just make sure to dry your weaves well afterwards!
