FIRST, WHAT ARE SEW-IN WEAVES?
Sew-in weaves are a form of weave for the hair that you can actually sew into your hair rather than glue onto your scalp. If you’re going to wear a sew-in while you transition, you’ll want to wear one that covers all of your hair and leaves none of it exposed. This will also save you from having to worry about blending the sew-in with your natural hair color, type and texture.

WHO WILL USE SEW-IN WEAVES?
In the natural hair community, we all go through the same issues, and many of us are transitioning, which isn’t limited to any particular hair type — and neither are sew-ins!

STEP BY STEP: HOW TO SEW-IN WEAVES?

Step 1

Shampoo, condition and blow dry your hair.

Step 2

Plan the hairstyle you want and make parts showing where the braided base will go. Separate and pin up any hair that will stay out of the weave.

Step 4

Starting from the back of the head, sew rows of extension hair onto each cornrow. Start from the very edge of the cornrow and keep the track as flat as possible. Go over the same spot a few times with the needle and thread when you start the track to secure it properly. Do the same thing when you get to the other end of the cornrow.

Step 5

Cut the track once you've secured the end to the cornrow. This helps to get the measurements exactly right.

Step 6

Continue sewing the hair onto the cornrows this way until you've completed the whole head.

Step 7
