Versatile Sew In
Everything you need to know about our versatile sew ins at Hair Extensions, Inc.
Versatile Sew In
A versatile sew in is just like it sounds…versatile! Because the entire perimeter and parting space is left out, a versatile weave offers more flexibility in terms of styling options. We use high quality human virgin hair for all of our versatile sew ins. In a partial weave installation, we leave out the sides, back and a section at the top of the head and focus on an area around the crown. After we install your hair, we blend it into your natural hair, layer it and style it 1 of 4 ways. We either leave the hair in it’s natural state, make it bone straight, give you beachy waves or beautiful romance curls.
Benefits of A Versatile Sew In
- Maximum style flexibility
- Allows for versatile parting of the hair
- More styling options like a high bun are possible
- Can blend seamlessly into your own hair
- Hair is reusable
Who are versatile sew ins for?
This method is for you if you are good at styling your own hair at home. Because a lot more hair is left out, it will require more maintenance.
The best type of hair you can purchase is pure virgin remy hair so for that, we suggest our Luxe Virgin Hair or HD Virgin Hair. With either of these lines, they can easily last a year or more if you care for them properly. If you like hair color, we can lighten them to any shade or color them to any tone. Check out our store to see all of options we have available for your installation.
How many bundles do I need for a traditional sew in?
If you are wearing 18″ or shorter, 2-3 bundles will suffice. For 20″ to 24″, 3-4 bundles depending on how full you like your hair. And for 26″ or longer, 4-6 bundles is needed.

Versatile Sew In FYI
Risks
More hair is left out so you have to deal with the risk of heat damage if you’re not using the proper heat settings. Versatile sew ins will not damage your hair if installed properly. What damages your hair is poor maintenance, styling tools, and excessive pulling of your own hair. Excessive scratching can cause sores, bumps and scabs. The weight of the hair extensions can cause stress where the tracks begin. This is especially true for finer hair. If this occurs, you will have to get your extensions redone more often to prevent any damage.
Side Effects
Because of the braids in the foundation as well as the sewing, the first day or so of a sew in can result in tightness and temporary headaches. A simple pain reliever before installation and before bed can alleviate some of the tension.
Maintenance
Maintenance on your sew in is required every two weeks with tightening done at 4 weeks. If you have 1 fingers width of regrowth, then tightening is needed. Keep in mind that tightening is just resewing your tracks in a different way to add more tension. It will never be as tight as the original sew in. The only way to get it as tight as the original sew in is to remove and reinstall it.
Removal
When it time to remove your traditional sew in, our removal process ensures that your natural hair is protected. We gently remove your extensions, unbraid your hair, and detangle your hair. Click here to review our entire removal process.
