Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Installment (Sew-in).

Timing varies based on natural hair thickness and chosen weave fullness. Most sew-ins take between two to five hours. We schedule accordingly and provide an estimate during consultation so you can plan comfortably for your salon visit.

Properly installed sew-ins protect hair when braids are neat and tension is low. Avoid overly tight braiding, prolonged wear, or neglecting scalp care. Our stylists braid with care and provide aftercare guidance to minimize breakage and promote healthy growth.

We recommend reinstallation or adjustments every six to eight weeks, depending on hair growth, braid integrity, and weave condition. Regular check-ins let us address tension, fraying, or lifting to preserve your scalp health and the style's longevity.

Yes — you can wash and condition. Use gentle, diluted shampoo to cleanse the scalp, avoid heavy saturation of the wefts, gently squeeze water out, and fully dry to prevent odor. Follow our aftercare routine to maintain the installation.

Sew-ins suit many textures: natural, relaxed, coarse, or fine hair with adequate length for secure braiding. Stylists adapt braid patterns and techniques to accommodate density and texture. Consult with us for a personalized assessment and recommended approach.

Keep scalp clean and moisturized, use lightweight oils or leave-in sprays, gently massage to stimulate circulation, avoid heavy products that cause buildup, sleep with a silk scarf, and book touch-ups if you feel tightness. Contact us for customized product recommendations.
