What is a Closure Sew In Weave?

A closure sew-in weave involves braiding your natural hair into cornrows and sewing hair extension wefts onto the braids everywhere except the top middle section of your head. In this area, a closure hair piece is sewn in place, allowing you to part your hair however you prefer, middle or side. Unlike an invisible part sew-in, where the part is fixed, a closure sew-in offers flexibility to change your parting style.

What Hair Is Used For A Closure Sew In Weave?

It is recommended to use human hair as it is the most durable, natural-looking, and less prone to tangles than synthetic hair. Virgin human hair is ideal as it has not been chemically treated, making it stronger and more natural in appearance. However, virgin hair is typically available in natural black and brown shades, meaning vibrant colours like red or blonde may be harder to find. This can be a downside if you're aiming for a coloured look.

When it comes to choosing hair you can also choose from different lengths, colours and hair textures. There are many hair textures to choose from ranging from straight to kinky curly and everything in between.

Your closure hair piece can come with a lace base or a silk base. For more details on the differences between these, check out our post on "What are closure wigs?".
