What is a sew in weave?
A sew in weave is a hair extension method that uses needle and thread to attach weft hair to a braided foundation. This method is confusing because most people think that the needle and thread is sewn to the scalp. This is definitely not true. Your hair is braided very flat which results in a much smoother surface. Afterwards, the wefts are sewn securely directly onto the braids. Then after installing the wefts, we style your hair and you’re done! Above all, sew ins are a safe way to protect your hair if done properly
How long does sew in weave extensions last?
Sew in extensions can last 6-10 weeks with proper care and maintenance. We recommend that you come in every 2 weeks to get a clarifying deep wash, conditioning treatment, and proper drying of your braids. Futhermore, leaving extensions in too long causes your hair to tangle and dread up resulting in hair loss. You do not want to lose your hair in the process of protecting it so caring it for it properly is imperative to healthy hair growth.
Can a sew in weave damage my hair?
Sew ins can definitely damage your hair if the installation is done improperly. Even though some people think tight braids equate to a longer lasting sew in, it does not. A braided foundation should not be too tight because this results in breakage and thinning of your hair. In other words, once the net cap and wefts are sewn on, it will be even tighter and in some cases, unbearable. In addition, protecting and growing your hair is the goal of a sew in weave. Having a tight weave is counterproductive.
The best way to combat damaging your hair is by scheduling a call with us to get a professional sew in weave installed.
