Everything You Need to Know About Traditional Sew-in

 


With sew-in extensions, you can have strong, flexible hair. The one issue that worries people the most is the challenging installation, particularly for the conventional sew in. Here are some suggestions you might attempt if you're seeking for ways to wear this hair extension.

What are the different kinds of sew-ins?

Knowing your goals is necessary before you can learn the right way to wear weave hair extensions. Choose a partial sew-in if you want relaxed hair that can be styled into any natural hairdo, including a ponytail or bun. 


The hairstyle's tracks will be hidden by the leftovers, giving it a more natural appearance. The sew-in method and leave-outs will depend on whether you want a middle or side parting, which will be helpful to select. Choose a classic sew in if you prefer a more laid-back appearance that won't require blending.


There are no leave-outs necessary because the sew-in covers your entire head and blends in with your natural hair. In addition to being simpler for a daily appearance, it will shield your hair from heat damage. However, there are only few hairstyles that you can wear. 


How to wear a traditional sew-in?

The difficulty starts if you decide to have a traditional sew-in. A sew-in takes longer to install because of the protective hairdo and the method for attaching the hair extension to your braids. The cornrow braid is the finest protective hairdo when wearing a weave. 

  1. 1. Your hair should be divided in the middle. Start with the first half, then remove the other from the parting by clipping it.
  2. 2. Begin with your hair in front. Start with a basic box braid and gather hair that is half an inch thick before cornrowing it down on your nape. Make a tail tie.
  3. 3. Go to the following section. Complete step two. Gather the tail from the first braid and attach it to this portion of hair before completing the braid.
  4. 4. Continue the previous steps until you reach the final area behind your head. 
  5. 5. Begin the procedure with the opposite side of your hair. Connect the tail from the other side once you've reached the last section.
  6. 6. Create a low bun by twisting the produced tail together.

It's time to sew the weave once you've finished your cornrow. Follow these simple, 10-minute instructions to create a closure to cover the hair extension and give it a more natural appearance.

  1. 1. Wrap your hair's crown with the closure.
  2. 2. To prevent the closure from contaminating the hair extension, tie it to a bun.
  3. 3. Beginning at the weave's corner nearest your hairline, sew the weave's edges around your head until you reach the opposite corner.
  4. 4. To create a good, natural frame, sew the front edges from half an inch away from the front.
  5. 5. Finally, stitch up the rear edges. Only stitch from the area where the mesh tabs are located on the weave. You can omit the central sections. You can now access your scalp and the installation process will be faster. 

And voilà! Now you can install your conventional sew-in without anyone else's assistance. You can comb the baby hairs out of the braid and into the front if you want to make it look a little more blended. Following the completion of your standard sew-in, you can style this. 


How to take care of hair extensions?

Traditional sew-ins must be treated the same as your natural hair because they are your new hair. If you do not treat it properly, it will tangle and become damaged. You must thoroughly shampoo your weave and use conditioner when cleaning it. Keep in mind that unlike your hair, the hair extension cannot produce natural oil.


When drying your hair, keep in mind that the natural hair that is behind the hair extension is still damp. Dry your hair thoroughly to prevent the growth of mold or fungi. Although it will take some time, it is essential. To untangle the weave, separate it off with a comb. To prevent pulling too hard, work your way from the tip to the roots.


Your hair extension maintenance may require additional steps. However, you must reduce it when using hair products. If you use too many products, your hair may appear greasy. Since the weave is not tied to a scalp, it won't absorb products like your hair would.


How to remove traditional sew in?

It's time to take out your hair extension after several weeks of wearing it. The traditional sew in is fairly simple to remove, especially if you sewn it according to the instructions in this post. 


Look for any threads that are loose enough for you to be able to get onto them. To make sure you are holding a thread and not your hair, feel lines in your finger. You don't have to begin with your front face. Take out your scissors, and cut the thread with the blade. 


For each thread snipped, repeat the previous technique on all sides while gently pulling the hair extension. Do not be concerned about the threads in your hair. These threads will also come off as you unravel your braid. 


Frequently Asked Questions:

How long does a traditional sew-in install?

Including the braid, a regular sew-in installation typically takes 2 to 3 hours. However, if you follow the above instructions, it won't take you more than an hour to finish. You only need to worry about the cornrows throughout the short sewing process, which takes around 10 minutes.


What is a leave-out?

Your natural hair that you do not tuck under the wig or hair extension is referred to as "leave-outs." To effectively blend in hair extensions or cover up tracks, people like to have leave-outs. Your hair will appear more natural and be more susceptible to heat damage.


Is it safe to sew in by myself? 

It is preferable to visit a nearby parlor for assistance if you are unsure how to manage a needle or braid. There are several online lessons, though, that you can use if you're by yourself and want to save money.


Summary

It can be simple enough to wear a classic sew-in by yourself. These pointers and tactics will assist you with installing one if you decide to do so.
