First things first. Here are some of the most common questions about sew in styles:

What is a sew in? Sew in hair starts with your strands braided into cornrows. After that, hair extensions are sewn to these cornrows with a special needle and thread.

How much does sew in cost? The cost of a sew-in will depend on many factors. Such as where you live and how talented your stylist is. On average, a visit alone can range from $100 to $600, excluding the extensions.

Are sew-ins bad for your hair? If the sew-in is properly installed and cared for, it will not damage your natural hair. Moreover, it is even believed that sew-ins are protective for your hair.

What’s the difference between a weave and a sew in? The word “weave” has a more general meaning. A hair weave is artificial or human hair that can be attached to one’s natural hair with the help of braiding, gluing, or sewing. The glue in quick weave mainly differs from sew in weave in terms of cost. Adhesives used in glue-ins are generally inexpensive, while those who want to have sew in extensions prefer to have them professionally installed.

How long does a sew last? Sew-ins typically last 6 to 12 weeks. The amount of time they last depends on how well the hairstylist did their job and how they were taken care of.

Can sew ins grow your hair? Yes, this is because sew-ins allow your natural hair to grow while also protecting it with extensions.

How long does a sew-in take to install? Depending on your hair texture, length, and style you want, the sew-in installation can take around 3 to 6 hours.
