Get answers to common questions about Traditional Sew-In.

A Traditional Sew-In typically lasts six to eight weeks with proper care. Some clients keep them longer by minimizing tension and maintaining scalp hygiene, but regular maintenance appointments every 6–8 weeks help preserve attachment integrity and hair health.

When installed correctly by an experienced stylist and with controlled tension, a sew-in minimizes damage. Regular scalp care, not wearing overly tight braids, and taking periodic breaks between installations are key to protecting your natural hair and encouraging healthy growth.

Yes — you can wash and style a sew-in, but wait at least 48 hours after installation. Use sulfate-free shampoos, gentle conditioners, and avoid heavy oils at the tracks. Always dry thoroughly and use heat protectant when styling to maintain bond longevity and hair health.

Our stylists offer a personalized consultation to match your natural hair texture, color, and lifestyle. We recommend high-quality Remy or human hair and can blend textures or custom-color to achieve a seamless, natural result that’s easy to maintain and style.

Appointments generally range from two to four hours depending on hair length, density, and desired style. Prep, braiding, sewing, and finishing styling all factor in. Longer or custom installs may require extra time, which we’ll confirm during your consultation.

Sleep on a satin pillowcase or use a satin bonnet, cleanse and condition gently every one to two weeks, moisturize your scalp with lightweight products, avoid heavy oils near the tracks, and avoid excessive pulling. Schedule maintenance appointments to adjust braids and protect natural hair.
