Most stylists recommend staying away from bleach while the weave is in place.
A sew-in weft is a type of hair extension usually done in salons where real or synthetic human hair is sewn into small braids woven tightly against the scalp. Many people believe that these extensions look more natural than most other types, such as wigs or hairpins. In most cases, a sewn fabric lasts at least three months before it is removed. This type of hair extension can be a good option for someone who is often around other people, as wefts tend to stay in place better than wigs or clips. This reduces the chances that a person will find themselves in an awkward situation if the fake hair comes out.
Wefts should only be applied to freshly washed hair.
Most of the time, it takes two to four hours for a stylist to place a sewn weave. It usually takes a long time to braid the existing hair against the scalp and then sew in the new hair. The price of a sewn-in weft can vary depending on whether real or synthetic hair is used, the amount of hair sewn in, and where the procedure is performed. Different stylists tend to charge different rates based on their experience and the average income of most of their clientele.
Chlorine can be harmful to natural and synthetic hair.
Maintaining a sewn fabric should be easy. Stylists recommend washing the weft once every 10 days. Washing more frequently than this can shorten the length of the plot. People with scalps that tend to get oily may need to shampoo at least once a week to keep the weft looking good. It’s also a good idea for one person to use conditioner with each shampoo to prevent the ends of the hair from looking brittle.
Hair bundles can be particularly beneficial for people experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy.
Most stylists recommend staying away from bleach while the weave is in place. Chlorine can be damaging to both natural and synthetic hair, and excessive exposure can cause the hair tissue to lose its shine and begin to look dry. Sewn wefts also tend to tangle easily, but this can be avoided if a person wraps their hair in a scarf while sleeping. Brushing the weft several times a day is also a good idea because one small tangle can quickly lead to another. Removing tangles as soon as they form can prevent a bigger problem in the future.
