Long and Short Quick Weave Styles
Not all of us have the time to spend hours in the salon getting a weave sewn in or in front of the mirror melting our lace fronts into your foreheads. If you want to change your hair up really quickly without having to bring any heat, color, or pulling to your natural hair then you’re going to love the quick weave.
What makes a quick weave so quick is that your hair weave is bonded to a weave cap on your head, instead of sewn into your cornrows or added as clip on extensions. If done properly, your natural hair and scalp should be protected with the hair glue and very soon you’ll be out the door with a beautiful new hairdo. You can use any colour, texture and length you would like to achieve this low maintenance style. These styles usually only have a life span of a month at most, less than the traditional sew-in, so it’s great if you’re a style chameleon who doesn’t like to commit to anything for too long.
The best part about quick weaves is how easy and accessible they are to do yourself. They’re generally much cheaper than normal weaves and wigs and all the tools you need are readily available at any beauty supply store. You won’t end up pulling on your natural hair as much, breaking the bank or taking up too much time.

1Layered long bob
2Blunt cut bob
3The invisible part
If you’ve ever wondered how people get their weave closures to look so real and scalp like without expensive lace closures or leaving out their own hair, then look no further than the invisible part. In this closure, the weave is carefully glued to your head to make it appear as though it is coming out of your scalp while leaving your natural hair protected.
4Wavy layers
This bouncy, feathery style makes use of lots and lots of layers to achieve these swooping curls. All you’ll need is a round, ceramic brush and a hair drying once you’ve trimmed all the hair to varying layers, with the longest at the bottom and shortest towards the top. Alternatively, you can use a curling iron but a blow dryer really helps with bounce.
5Middle part with waves
Just as simple and low maintenance as your quick weave installation, this beautiful style really doesn’t take too much. If your weave hair isn’t naturally wavy, you can just run a flat iron and a brush through it for this easy, breezy look. You can opt for leave out or a lace closure at the middle part.
6Long water waves
7Angular ombre bob
8Electric blue pixie cut
9Teal and blue bob
10Chocolate brown bob
11Platinum blonde waves
A go-to for any Barbie doll, platinum blonde is a great color to try at least once in your life. It’s recommended that you choose either a lace closure or invisible part so that you’re not damaging your own hair trying to match this incredibly light shade of blonde. Of course, you can always use your hair for an ombre effect if it’s not too long.
12Swoop bang
The classic swoop bang is all the range right now in hair styling. It’s a great throwback to the early 2000s while also being a universally flattering style. It’s especially great because of how simple it is to achieve. You don’t even have to trim your hair, just part it at the side and pin it back on the other.
13Curtain bangs
14Long, bouncy waves
15Deep wave bob
16Deep curly tresses
17Black to sapphire ombre
18Blunt cut bob with bangs
19Candy pink pixie
20Flexi rod curls
Flexi-rods or bendy rollers as they are sometimes called are a great way to curl hair without heat. There are also few other curling methods that achieve this dense, defined curl. All you have to do is set your hair in the rods and either leave them in overnight or sit under a dryer for a while and you’re done!
21Auburn afro
22Skunk highlights
Skunk highlights, a way of coloring hair where the hair at the hairline is a different color to the rest of the head, are a big trend right now and you can see why. The style is just the right amount of edgy and opens the door to all sorts of color combinations like the lovely black and brown pictured.
23Extra long, loose waves
24Side part curls and burgundy highlights
25Two tone afro
Another take on an Afro style is this gorgeous look which features curls that are on the looser end of the spectrum as well as a brown and black colorway, with the brown at the front and black at the nape. This creates lovely dimension and depth as well as being more interesting than just going with one color.
26Platinum skunk highlights
27Straight and long
28Big, big curls
If you’re going to curly, why not go super big? This beautiful style uses lots and lots of layers of tight, deep curls to achieve the fullness and height we see here. You don’t have to worry about a closure either because you can create a layer of bangs when trimming the hair into these halo-like layers.
