Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Sew-In (Full Head).

A full head sew-in typically lasts six to eight weeks before a maintenance appointment is recommended. Timing varies with growth rate, care routine, and activity level. Proper cleansing, gentle handling, and timely adjustments help extend wear and maintain hair health.

When installed and removed by an experienced stylist, sew-ins are low-damage. The included protein treatment strengthens the hair beforehand. Avoid excessive tension, prolonged wear, and heavy styling; follow aftercare guidelines to protect natural strands and encourage healthy growth.

The protein treatment rebuilds weakened hair bonds, fills gaps in the cuticle, and restores strength and elasticity. It prepares natural hair for the weight of extensions, reduces breakage risk, and improves manageability for a healthier foundation during wear.

We recommend maintenance every six to eight weeks to tighten braids, reposition or re-stitch wefts, and assess scalp and hair health. Active clients or specific hair needs may require more frequent visits to preserve the install and natural hair integrity.

You can exercise, but protect your sew-in from chlorine and saltwater by wearing a swim cap or braiding hair before swimming. Rinse, condition, and dry thoroughly after exposure. Secure hair during workouts to prevent tangling and reduce weft stress.

During your consultation, our stylists evaluate face shape, lifestyle, and natural texture to recommend length and shade. We offer custom color matching and layering suggestions to ensure a natural blend that flatters and suits daily maintenance needs.
