Sew In Weave FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Sew in Weaves
What is a sew-in weave?
A sew-in weave is a hair extension method that involves attaching weft hair to a braided foundation using a needle and thread. Contrary to common misconception, the needle and thread are not sewn into the scalp but are used to secure the wefts onto the braids. The process begins with securely braiding the hair to create a smooth surface for attachment. Once the wefts are sewn onto the braids, your hair is styled, and you're good to go! Ultimately, sew-ins offer a safe way to protect your natural hair when done correctly.
How long do sew-in weave extensions last?
A beautiful installation deserves proper care. Regular professional maintenance helps keep your style looking fresh, secure, and polished while extending the life of your installation.
For the best results, we recommend professional maintenance every 2–3 weeks and suggest not going longer than one month between maintenance appointments. Staying consistent with your maintenance allows your stylist to address new growth, loose tracks, lifting lace, blending, and other areas that may need attention—helping you maintain a beautiful, natural-looking style for longer.
Protect Your Look. Extend Your Style.
To make caring for your installation easy, we offer specialized Refresh Packages for our returning clients. Each package is designed to restore and maintain your existing installation between full installation appointments.
Depending on your installation and its needs, your Refresh service may include professional cleansing, tightening loose tracks, lace maintenance, blending, and restyling to bring your look back to a fresh, secure, salon-finished appearance.
Refresh. Restore. Maintain.
For clients who want to stay consistent with their installation care, our Refresh Series makes maintenance simple while giving you more value.
Each series combines 2 Refresh Packages + 1 Removal Package, helping you care for your installation from maintenance through removal.
As an added benefit, your series also includes a FREE Protein & Steam Treatment ($35 Value)to give your natural hair extra care along the way.
Stay on schedule, protect your natural hair, and enjoy a beautiful installation from beginning to end.
How often should you wash a sew-in weave?
Maintaining sew-in extensions can be challenging, especially for newcomers. Washing and properly drying your sew-in weave every two weeks is essential to care for your natural hair during the sew-in cycle. If you're unsure about the washing process, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with us. We prioritize healthy hair and are ready to assist, even if we didn't install your sew-in.
Can a sew-in weave damage my hair?
Improper installation of sew-in weaves can indeed damage your hair. While some may believe that tighter braids result in longer-lasting sew-ins, excessively tight braids can lead to breakage and thinning. The goal of a sew-in weave is to protect and nurture your hair, so it's crucial to avoid excessively tight weaves. To prevent damage, it's best to seek professional installation from our salon.
