Q&A for How to Boil a Weave

All you have to do is boil some water on high/medium. Then when the weave is in your hair, carefully tip your head and boil the ends on your weave.

It only takes about 10 minutes to properly boil a weave, but it's important that you add a few items to help moisturize and maintain the weave. Once the water starts boiling, add a teaspoon of a natural oil like olive or coconut oil to the water. Then, stir in about 2 tablespoons of a leave-in conditioner. You can then add your weave to the bubbling water and let it boil for 10 minutes.

Boiling your weave is an easy way to soften and revitalize it. Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil and then add a teaspoon of olive or coconut oil to help moisturize your weave. Then, add about 2 tablespoons of leave-in conditioner to soften the weave. Let it boil for about 10 minutes, then use a pair of tongs to pull your weave out of the water to let it dry.

You can add a small amount of baby oil to your weave while it's still wet after you boil it. Avoid applying baby oil to a dry weave or it will look greasy and wet. After you apply the baby oil to a damp weave, use a hairdryer to fully dry it.
