Installation time typically ranges from two to four hours depending on hair density, desired length, and customization. Your stylist will provide a time estimate during consultation based on braid pattern, extension amount, and any requested styling or cutting after the sew-in.

When installed and maintained properly, sew-ins minimize stress on hair. Lightweight wefts, correct braiding tension, and regular maintenance reduce breakage risk. Avoid leaving extensions in too long and follow aftercare instructions to protect your natural hair health.

We recommend maintenance every six to eight weeks to tighten wefts, refresh braids, and check scalp health. Regular appointments help prevent matting, ensure longevity, and allow adjustments for new growth and changing hair needs.

You can exercise and swim, but take precautions: rinse chlorine or saltwater promptly, wear a swim cap when possible, tie hair up to reduce tangling, and dry thoroughly to avoid mildew or loosening wefts.

Choose extensions that match your hair texture, density, and color for the most natural result. During consultation we discuss human hair types, lengths, and color-matching options to select hair that complements your desired look and lifestyle.

Expect a consultation, scalp and hair assessment, braiding to create a foundation, and careful sewing in of wefts. The stylist will cut and style extensions to blend, then review aftercare and schedule follow-up maintenance.
