The common mistake women make while wearing Ghanaian hairstyles is rubbing in excess solid hair oil between the cornrows. Your hair will look unkempt after a week or two if you rub in your fingers. Also, solid oil takes time to melt and will not spread on the scalp evenly. So, instead of using solid hair oil, use liquid oils or hair sprays, and do not rub in your fingers. Instead, massage the hair to make the scalp absorb the oils.

Hair products for lasting Ghana weaving styles

An itchy scalp is one of the fastest ways braids age, from constantly scratching your scalp. To keep your scalp from itching and getting dry, Always have scalp oil in an applicator bottle with a nozzle tip that helps you deliver the oil directly to your scalp, between the braids; a good scalp oil should be lightweight and contain tea tree oil, for it’s antibacterial properties.
Always use a styling mousse after the braids are done to keep them looking neat for longer. Some good brands include the Lotta Body Wrap Me Mousse for loose braids and twists, and some cheaper brands are Nova Good and Above Mousse.

Finally, sometimes the itching, especially if it’s excessive, may be due to an allergic reaction to the chemicals used to treat the attachments from the factories, so you can rinse the extension (attachment) in some vinegar before using it to braid if you experience excessive itching.

How do you do a straight-back braid step by step?

Weave Ghana braids with synthetic or natural Kanekalon or other hair extension brands. Kanekalon's popularity began in Japan. The brand is famous worldwide, including in West African countries.

Kanekalon comes in many colors for all skin tones. Most African ladies love shades of black, blonde, brown, red, green, and blue. Follow these steps to plait a simple all-back Ghana weaving hairstyle:

  • Wash your hair with warm water and shampoo.
  • Rinse and comb using an electric comb with wide teeth to avoid hair breakage.
  • Rub oils and moisturizers into your hair and scalp.
  • Divide the hair into two halves (from the forehead to the back of the head).
  • Tie one half with a rubber band. Plait one half, then move to the other.
  • Start plaiting cornrows from the left or right ear to the head's center.
  • Section a portion of the hair near the ear (from the forehead to the back of the head).
  • When plaiting, use a very tinny piece of synthetic hair strands at the forehead.
  • Add more synthetic hair strands as you plait towards the back of the head.
  • You can add more synthetic hair strands to elongate the extension.
  • Some women love their cornrow extensions to fall on their shoulders or extend to their backs.
  • You can use multiple colors of Kanekalon synthetic hair strands to beautify your hair. Beads and ribbons are also excellent all-back Ghana braids decorations.

How do you make Ghana weaving last on natural hair?

Kanekalon braids hairstyles last 1-2 months if you take good care of them. Do not rub your fingers or use objects on your itchy scalp because you loosen the cornrows. Instead, apply dandruff oils when your scalp itches.

Avoid dusty places and stay in the sun for long because your head will sweat. Do not let water from the shower or rain get into your cornrows if you do not have a hair dryer. Wetness in your head will make the scalp smell.

Can I wash my Ghana weaving?

Wash them with warm water and shampoo. Massage the shampoo lightly into your scalp and squeeze the foam down your cornrows instead of running your cornrows. Rinse the cornrows with warm water and dry them in a hair dryer.

How do you style Ghana weaving?

  • Plait cornrows with a side or front-part style on the forehead.
  • Mix curvy and straight lines when plaiting cornrows.
  • Mix big and small cornrows.
  • Plait cornrows from the forehead to the middle of your head and complete the other half with braid strands, crochet, or curly extensions.
  • Hold cornrows running from the forehead to the middle of your head in a bun and allow the braided strands, crochet, or curly extensions covering the other half of your head to fall on your shoulders or back.
