Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Sew-In Weave.

With proper installation and maintenance, Sew-In Weaves usually last six to eight weeks. Some clients extend wear to 10 weeks, but regular scalp care, avoiding heavy pulling, and timely tightening appointments help prevent slippage and protect your natural hair.

When installed by experienced stylists using proper braiding and tension techniques, Sew-Ins minimize damage. Follow aftercare, moisturize your scalp, and remove weaves promptly when needed. Overly tight braids and extended wear increase risk, so consult your stylist.

Gently shampoo and condition your scalp and extensions every one to two weeks, focusing on roots. Use diluted products, avoid heavy conditioners near the tracks, and air-dry or low-heat style. Regular moisturizing and protective nighttime routines extend the weaveโ€™s lifespan.

Yes, you can swim and exercise, but protect the weave by wearing a swim cap or tying hair up, rinsing salt or chlorine immediately, and applying light leave-in conditioner. Extra care prevents tangling and preserves the hairโ€™s integrity.
