Get answers to common questions about Full Sew-In.

Most Full Sew-In appointments take between two to four hours, depending on natural hair length, braid pattern, and desired style. Complex parts, customizations, or thicker extensions can extend time; stylist will give a precise estimate during consultation.

When installed and maintained properly, Full Sew-Ins minimize damage. Regular scalp care, correct braid tension, and timely maintenance appointments prevent breakage. Avoid excessive weight and prolonged wear; stylist will recommend safe intervals and treatments to protect your natural hair.

We recommend maintenance every four to six weeks to tighten tracks, refresh edges, and check scalp health. Clients with faster growth or heavier styles may need more frequent visits; follow stylist advice to extend wear and keep both extensions and natural hair healthy.

You can exercise with a Full Sew-In, but protect it from chlorine and salt water which can dry extensions. Wear a swim cap for swimming or rinse and condition thoroughly afterward. Secure styles and gentle cleansing preserve installation longevity.

Use sulfate-free shampoos, condition regularly, and avoid heavy oils near the braid base. Sleep on a satin scarf or pillowcase, detangle gently, and book scheduled touch-ups. Adopting these habits preserves shine, prevents matting, and extends the life of your sew-in.

Most clients wear Full Sew-Ins for six to eight weeks safely. Leaving weaves in longer increases risk of matting and breakage at the roots. Plan removal or readjustment every two months and consult your stylist if you prefer extended wear.
