What Are Sew-In Hair Extensions?
Sew-in hair extensions, also known as weave extensions, are a semi-permanent method of adding length, volume, and versatility to your natural hair. Unlike clip-ins or tape-ins, sew-ins are braided into your natural hair and then secured with a needle and thread for a long-lasting hold. At RedoHair, we specialize in high-quality, natural-looking sew-in extensions that blend seamlessly with your hair. Whether you want to add thickness, experiment with different styles, or protect your natural hair, sew-ins are a game-changer for achieving flawless, salon-worthy results.
Why Choose Sew-In Hair Extensions?
Sew-in extensions offer numerous benefits that make them a top choice for hair enthusiasts. First, they provide a secure and long-lasting hold, often staying in place for 6-8 weeks with proper maintenance. Unlike glue or tape extensions, sew-ins are gentle on your hair, reducing the risk of damage. They also allow for versatile styling—curly, straight, updos, and more—without worrying about slippage. At RedoHair, our premium extensions ensure a natural look and feel, giving you the confidence to flaunt gorgeous, voluminous hair every day.
Different Types of Sew-In Hair Extensions
Not all sew-in extensions are the same, and choosing the right type depends on your hair goals. The most popular options include:
-
Traditional Sew-In: Hair wefts are sewn onto braided cornrows for a flat, seamless look.
-
Invisible Sew-In: Leaves some natural hair out for a more blended appearance.
-
Quick Weave: Uses a protective cap before sewing for added security.
-
Closure/Frontal Sew-In: Includes a lace closure or frontal piece for a natural hairline.
At RedoHair, we offer a variety of textures—straight, wavy, curly, and kinky—so you can find the perfect match for your style.
How to Prepare for a Sew-In Installation
Proper preparation ensures your sew-in extensions look flawless and last longer. Start by washing and deep-conditioning your natural hair to keep it healthy underneath. Trim any split ends to prevent breakage. It’s also crucial to braid your hair neatly in cornrows, as this foundation determines how natural your sew-in will look. If you’re unsure about installation, trust the experts at RedoHair—our stylists specialize in seamless, comfortable sew-ins that enhance your beauty without compromising hair health.
How to Maintain Your Sew-In Hair Extensions
To keep your sew-in extensions looking fresh, follow these maintenance tips:
-
Wash Gently: Use a sulfate-free shampoo and focus on the scalp to avoid loosening the braids.
-
Moisturize Regularly: Apply lightweight oils or leave-in conditioners to keep your natural hair hydrated.
-
Protect at Night: Wrap your hair in a silk scarf or use a satin pillowcase to prevent frizz and tangling.
-
Avoid Excessive Heat: While sew-ins allow heat styling, overuse can damage both the extensions and your natural hair.
At RedoHair, we recommend scheduling a maintenance check every 4-6 weeks to keep your sew-in looking flawless.
