Boiling your weave is a quick and easy way to make it look and feel fresh again. First, bring a large pan of water to a boil. Then, turn it down to a simmer. Gently mix in 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of leave-in conditioner. Once you’ve mixed in the oil and conditioner, carefully submerge your weave in the water. Avoid boiling your weave if it’s dyed, since the hot water can cause the color to run. Leave your weave in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it with tongs. To dry your weave, blot it with a towel to soak up most of the water, then blow dry it for a few minutes or until its dry.
