Choose the length of your human hair weave. You can choose from a length as long as 25 to 30 inches! ,
Remove any tangles or knots., Wash your sew in deep wave bundles or give it a quick rinse and let them dry completely before installing.
Instead of wearing a bun or braid up high on one side, which could put too much stress on this area of the scalp, apply the weave in an updo at the top of your head, away from any areas where gravity might pull. Tie back all long locks so only short layers will need extensions added on top of their heads.
Install the human hair starting at one side of your head and working your way up. Make sure not to overlap any sections as you add more extension strands until you reach the opposite side of your head.
Once installation is complete, use a comb or brush to remove any knots that may have developed because they can be challenging to remove when they are twisted on long layers.
How long does it take to do a sew in? It takes around six hours to fully install your sew-in.
