While wigs have surged in popularity lately, there is still something unmatched about the security and "realness" of traditional hair weaving. A well-executed sew-in gives you a level of confidence that the hair simply isn't going anywhere, whether you’re at the gym or caught in a breeze. The process of hair weaving involves braiding your natural tresses into a flat foundation and then meticulously sewing extensions—usually referred to as "bundles"—onto those braids. This technique is incredible for protective styling because it allows your biological hair to rest from heat and daily manipulation.
The secret to a weave that doesn't look like a "helmet" is all in the braid pattern. You want the base to be as flat as possible so the hair lays naturally against your scalp. I always advise people to invest in the highest quality human hair bundles they can find, as the hair needs to withstand 6 to 8 weeks of continuous wear. When you choose premium hair for your hair weaving session, you can wash, condition, and style it just like it’s growing from your head. Just remember to be diligent about drying your braids underneath after a wash—scalp health is just as important as the aesthetic on top!
