FAQ
What Are Hair Extensions?
Hair extensions are individual pieces or tracks of weave hair that are used to install onto or braid into your natural hair to add length or fullness. Hair extension installation methods include clip in, glue on and sew in. Human hair extensions are the best type of hair extension you can buy.
What Is Weave Hair?
Weave hair is a type of hair used for installing hair extensions. Weave hair is sewn onto your natural hair to create length and fullness. Weave hair is usually one long stitched together piece of hair that is wrapped around the head and sewn into braids with thread. A human hair top piece (hair closure) is usually installed on the crown to cover any tracks.
How Long Does a Sew In Weave Last?
You don’t want to keep your sew in installed any longer than 2-3 months. The reason why is because you will shed a lot of hair in that time frame. Typically you will shed about 80-100 hairs per day. That’s a lot of shed hair in 2-3 months.
The problem is the shed hair doesn’t have anywhere to go because its contained in your twists and braids. All of that hair will stay very close to the roots which will lead to matting. You should re-do your hair every 2-3 months but not to exceed 3 months. Any longer than 3 months will make locks form. The hair will become very tight within that lock and will take much longer to remove the hair extensions when it’s time to get them redone.
