50+ Stylish Sew-In Hairstyles That Will Make You Want a Weave
How to slay your sew-in hairstyles.
Sew-in hairstyles are one of the easiest ways to wear your hair in a protective style that offers you the flexibility to change up your look as often as you like. For the uninitiated, a sew-in is just another way of saying hair extensions, or weave hairstyles. The process can be done on any hair type (natural or relaxed), and it simply involves sewing the track of the weave into your cornrow braids. This style can be worn various ways, with different types of weave lengths and textures. What we love most about sew-in hairstyles is that you are giving your real hair the break it needs from day-to-day styling.
We’ve rounded up our favorite hairstyle ideas for you to try on your very on sew-in hairstyle:
