Quick Weave Worksheet 💇🏽‍♀️

📝 Introduction to Quick Weaves

A quick weave is a hairstyling method where hair extensions are glued or bonded onto a protective cap that covers the natural hair. This method is popular because it’s fast, versatile, and affordable, giving clients a polished look in less time than traditional sew-ins.

✨ Key Steps in Quick Weave Application

1. Preparation & Protection

• Shampoo, condition, and completely dry natural hair.

• Braid hair down or slick it back with gel.

• Apply a protective cap or wrap to keep natural hair safe.

• Optional: Use morning glory/protective shield to create an extra barrier.

2. Bonding & Gluing Tracks

• Measure weft (track) to fit the head shape.

• Apply bonding glue to the track.

• Press track onto the protective cap starting from the back, working upward.

• Allow glue to dry/set.

3. Cutting & Shaping

• After full coverage, cut tracks into layers or shape the style.

• Style with flat iron, curling iron, or razor comb.

🔑 Tips for Success

• Always protect natural hair under the cap.

• Do not apply glue directly to scalp.

• Use small sections of wefts for a more natural blend.

• Remove quick weaves safely with glue remover or conditioner-based method.
