Get answers to common questions about Full Sew-In.

With regular salon maintenance and careful at-home care, a Full Sew-In usually lasts six to eight weeks before requiring tightening or removal; hair quality, growth rate, and how well you follow care instructions impact longevity.

When installed and removed by professionals, sew-ins minimize damage by keeping hair braided and protected. However, improper tension, overly tight braids, or prolonged wear without maintenance can cause stress and breakage, so professional care is essential.

Cleanse gently every one to two weeks using diluted shampoo and focus on the scalp. Avoid heavy conditioners on the wefts, air-dry thoroughly, and sleep with a satin bonnet to reduce friction and extend the sew-in's lifespan.

Yes—most quality extensions tolerate heat styling and can be colored, but always consult your stylist first. Use heat protectant, moderate temperatures, and test a small section; coloring may affect the integrity and warranty of some extension types.

Discuss texture, length, and budget with your stylist. We recommend matching your natural curl or straight pattern and selecting high-quality human hair for the most realistic movement, longevity, and easiest blending with your natural hair.

Schedule maintenance every four to six weeks for tightening, scalp checks, and edging. Some clients prefer six to eight weeks depending on hair growth and lifestyle; regular appointments prevent matting and keep the install comfortable and secure.
