It has often been said that hair weaves are typically thought to be used by African Americans. Weaving is a technique that consist of sewing artificial or human hair that has been sewn onto a weft onto braids or a weaving net. A weaving net helps to protect your hair from damage caused by the tension of the thread while pulling it to secure the wefts.
Hair weaving dates back as far as Ancient Egypt and throughout history. Egyptians adored a good hair weave. It was considered a form of self-expression and common practice for them to trim their hair and create dazzling wig out of it. The men on occasion wore more dashing styles of wigs than the women. Women more so used weaving methods because of their diminishing hair. This practice is still used today for men and women who suffer from different types of hair loss.
Today weaving is a very lucrative business. Over the past 10 years the hair extension market has developed remarkably and there are more weaving techniques than ever. Growing up I can remember my aunt Jeannie, my mothers’ sister adding a hair extension ponytail made out of synthetic hair to me and my cousin Yalena, Marys’ daughters’ hair. Synthetic hair looks similar to human hair but is made out of monofilament fibers, polyfilament fibers, acrylic or polyester. She would brush our hair into a single ponytail with gel, spritz, and using rubber bands secure it. Next she would make a French braid using the synthetic hair and with a rubber band tie it to the ponytail. Then the hair left out from our ponytails was wrapped around the braid and
secured with a bobby pin. She would then finish the look by decorating it with a bow or colored
scrunchie.
When I got a little older my mother started braiding my hair. Braiding ...

...and twisted individual ponytails using small sections of hair. Over the years she has shown a great interest in doing hair so this past Christmas my mother purchased her a mannequin head from Mary’s beauty supply store. She has since learned how to use curling irons and how to braid hair, but has not mastered cornrowing or French braiding.
Educating boys and girls early in adolescents about proper hair care will help them be better aware about the possible risk and health risk associated with chemically altering the hair and wearing weaves and hair styles that cause tension and breakage. Avoiding things like braids, extensions, and ponytails that are pulled too tightly which can cause traction alopecia, and the hairline to recede. Someday I hope to teach Aniyah more hair techniques, and she will one day do hair for a hobby or maybe even become my Cosmetologist.
Hmong textiles are designed with a variety of geometric shapes and patterns. Shapes are regularly added to their dresses, headdresses, and flower cloths.

As stated in the Tapestry Handbook, “A tapestry is the interweaving of discontinuous weft yarns with tensioned warp yarns through two alternate sheds, resulting in a firm, weft-surface textile constructed concurrently with the description of its design” (Russell, 2007, p.10). Tapestries are an amazing form of textile art that has been refined and developed over centuries. Typically, these creations are usually woven over a vertical loom. Most weavers use a natural warp thread such as linen or cotton. The weft threads are usually made out of wool or cotton. They can also be made of silk, gold, silver or other materials. A tapestry is made by repeatedly weaving the weft threads over and under the warp threads, then squishing those horizontal

Weaving is a common thread among cultures around the world. Weaving is a way of producing cloth or textile. Today we have machines that weave large-scale textiles at cheap prices. Production of cloth by hand is rarely engaged in today’s Westernized societies. Not many people are thinking about how the fibers are actually constructed to make their clothes. However, in other cultures across the world the tradition of weaving still exists. By comparing three cultures that continue weaving as a part of their tradition we can see similarities and the differences between them. The reasons that each culture still weaves vary, as do the methods and materials. The desired characteristics of the cloth also vary around the world as each culture values different aesthetics.
Fake hair was one of the biggest accessories for hair. Wigs were usually worn openly without the care of other people knowing. Hair pieces were usually worn to add more volume and make their hair bigger. The hair pieces were attached to a wide velvet headband. (http://hair-and-makeup-artist.com/womens-1960s-hairstyles/).

There are two major types of hair extension: strands and wefts. Strands use techniques that apply 20 to 50 strands of synthetic or natural hair to your own hair by weaving, heat fusing, gluing, clamping, or using waxes and polymers. Hair extension wefts, on the other hand, use wefts of hair that are sewn into a small braid of your own hair that has been put across your scalp for the purpose of hair extension.
