What Are Full Head Sew In Weaves?

A full head sew-in weave involves braiding all your natural hair into cornrows and sewing hair extension wefts onto the braids. With this type of weave, none of your natural hair is left out, meaning it will be completely undetectable once the sew-in is installed.

Full Head Sew In Weave Maintenance

Even though your natural hair is tucked away, it’s essential to care for and maintain it to keep it healthy. Here are some maintenance tips to keep both your natural hair and your weave looking fresh:

• Use a nozzle bottle: This helps distribute products like shampoos and conditioners directly to the scalp and targeted areas.
• Wash your hair regularly: Use shampoo to remove build-up, focusing on massaging the scalp with your fingertips. Gently work the shampoo down the weave hair, then follow up with a conditioner to keep your natural hair hydrated and to add slip for detangling the weave.
• Dry properly: Use a microfibre towel to soak up excess water then apply a heat protectant and blow dry your hair.
• Protect at night: Wrap your weave in a silk scarf or bonnet before bed to prevent tangling and maintain moisture.
