A sew-in hairstyle is a protective hairstyle made of hair extensions sewn into the natural hair. The extensions can be sewn directly to the hair, braids, or net. Three words – style, practicality, and versatility are what you’ll get with this superb hair innovation!
If you desire to try a new hairstyle but don’t have enough length or density, sew-in extensions are guaranteed to add a new definition to your hair upgrade. The process incorporates either natural or synthetic extensions to the hair. These pieces are sewed and not glued so they won’t fall off.
More benefits of sewing extensions into your natural locks include allowing your hair to grow naturally and causing less damage. Pro hairstylist Brandy Thierry from Missouri loves transforming her clients’ manes into beautifully thick locks that look natural from all angles!
Whether it’s straight or textured strands that you want, anything is achievable when you use sew-in extensions. Keep it secure and clean by washing it occasionally, and it will last for a long time!

Q&A with style creator, Tiffani Marie

How would you describe this look?
This style is a lace closure sew-in. It is considered a protective hairstyle, meaning the client’s real hair is shampooed, conditioned, blow-dried, and braided down underneath the weave. None of her real hair is left out, giving her real hair a break from daily exposure and other hazards from brushing, combing, friction from sleeping on pillows, etc.
Any advice for someone considering it?
It is very low maintenance, so there is only a little you would have to do besides brushing it with a paddle brush daily. You can curl it and style it how you like. You can exercise and do activities without worrying about messing up your real hair. This hair can be shampooed while installing. I recommend a moisture shampoo and conditioner followed by a leave-in conditioner. That is it. This style lasts up to 2 months with proper care and maintenance.
#22: Full Sew-In with a Middle Part
A full sew-in lets you skip the commitment and try that on-trend middle part! Even better, you can go for that short crop too!
