hair weaving

Scalp coverage technique

Hair weaving is a method of attaching additional hair—natural or synthetic—to existing hair by braiding, sewing, or bonding.

Unlike wigs, woven hair integrates with the wearer's own hair for a more natural look.

The technique adds length, volume, or coverage for thinning areas: She got a weave to give her hair more body.

Also called simply a weave.
