Quickweave on 4c Hair✨

Okay, so I finally did it! After seeing so many beautiful quickweave styles, I decided it was time to lose my quickweave virginity and try one myself, specifically on my natural 4C hair. I know, I know, quickweaves get a bad rap sometimes, but I was determined to do it right and share my honest journey with you all. So, let's do a quickweave on 4C hair – here’s how my first attempt went down and all the products I used! First things first, preparation is absolutely key, especially for us 4C naturals. I started by giving my hair a good wash and deep conditioning treatment to ensure it was clean and moisturized. Then, I cornrowed my hair into a flat, circular pattern, leaving a small section out around my perimeter for a natural-looking hairline (if you choose to). This braiding foundation is crucial for a smooth and secure quickweave. After braiding, I applied a protective liquid cap onto my cornrows to create a barrier between my hair and the weave glue. This step is non-negotiable for preventing damage and making removal easier! Now for the fun part: doing the quickweave itself! I used two bundles of 18-inch body wave hair – opting for a texture that blends well with styled 4C hair. Once my cap was dry, I started gluing the tracks, beginning from the nape of my neck and working my way up. I cut the wefts to fit the shape of my head, applying a thin line of hair glue to the track and pressing it firmly onto the cap. Patience is your best friend here! You want each track to be secure and lay flat. A big question I had, and I know many of you do too, is about holding sprays. For styling and laying down flyaways, I decided to try out the Got2B Glued Blasting Freeze Spray. I've seen it everywhere for edges and lace fronts, so I figured I'd give it a whirl for my quickweave edges and to tame any loose strands. My Got2B Glued Blasting Freeze Spray review for this particular use? It definitely provides an incredible hold! When I used it to smooth down my leave-out and blend it with the weave, it worked like a charm. It dried quickly and kept everything in place without feeling super stiff or sticky. However, a word of caution: use it sparingly and strategically. While it gives a strong hold, over-reliance can lead to product buildup, and you definitely don't want that on your natural hair or the weave. For removal, I found that a little warm water and conditioner helped to break down the hold without causing excessive pulling. Overall, I was genuinely surprised by how manageable it was to achieve this look for my first time. My tips for anyone else doing a quickweave on 4C hair? Don't rush it! Take your time with the braiding foundation and track placement. Invest in good quality hair and protective products. And yes, give Got2B Glued Spray a shot for those finishing touches, but remember less is more. This quickweave has been a fantastic protective style for me, giving my natural hair a break while allowing me to switch up my look. If I, a complete quickweave newbie, can do it on my 4C hair, so can you! It’s a great way to experiment with different styles without a major commitment. Would I do it again? Absolutely! It truly felt empowering to achieve this style myself. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts!
