Who invented the weave for hair and in what year? That is a question that has been burning in a lot of peoples heads. We love the ability to change our look at the drop of a dime if we wish. It was a great invention and we are thankful for it. Going from a short curly do to a long wavy s*xy do all in one day is every woman’s dream.
Well an African American lady by the name of Christina Jenkins invented the hair weaving process in the nineteen fifties. She received a patent in 1951 for this process of hair weaving. Although people were wearing wigs and hair pieces for thousands of years, Christina came up with the weaving idea. She was married to a jazz musician named Duke at the time and lived in Cleveland Ohio.
Christina and Duke Jenkins formed their company Christina’s Hair Weaves in the early nineteen fifties. People were so in love with her weaves and method of applying them that they would pay her to come to their countries and teach them how to sew in hair weave. Before she invented the idea to sew the weave onto the hair, people were putting the weave on with pins placed on the scalp.
