So in order to keep your weave its best, you should opt for a cold wash which uses cold water and only conditioner. No shampoo.

3.) Use a curl activator, curl cream or serum. These products are formulated especially for curly textures to help smooth hair and leave gorgeous, silky locks.

4.) Do not blow try your curly weave. Heat and air combined will cause the hair to frizz out. Instead; towel dry your hair and let the weave hair dry naturally.

5.) Once the hair is dry do not be tempted to run your hands through the hair or handle it too much. Touching the hair often will remove the moisture from the hair and cause your hair to frizz out.
