Frequently asked questions

  1. What is a sew-in? It's a procedure in which your natural hair is braided into cornrows, and then hair extensions are sewn onto the braids with a needle and thread. The benefits of this procedure are that your natural hair is tucked away, requiring very little maintenance.
  2. How long does a sew-in last? According to Cosmopolitan, if you show your sew-in love and care for it correctly, it can last six to eight weeks.
  3. Is sew-in good for hair? Weaves are an excellent protective style because they shield your hair from heat and chemicals.
  4. Are wigs or sew-ins better? You could have hair extensions that last up to two years if you take the time to invest in good quality bundles, making a sew-in more convenient and cost-effective. Unfortunately, wigs have a short lifespan, and even the highest-quality wigs can become unkempt after some time.
  5. What not to do with sew-in extensions? Hot styling tools should only be used when necessary. Hot styling tools can damage sew-ins, extensions and natural hair.
  6. How do you maintain a sew-in? According to Hair Extension Inc, avoid rubbing vigorously and work your way up from the roots when washing. Also, when drying, gently rub it from the roots to the ends with a towel.
  7. Do sew-in hair extensions hurt? It depends. If misapplied or on thin hair, sew-in extensions can cause pain and discomfort.
