Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Sew-in maintenance.

We recommend Sew-in maintenance every two weeks to maintain longevity and scalp health. Frequency can be adjusted based on hair growth, activity level, and how the sew-in is holding. Our stylists will assess and suggest a personalized schedule.

When performed gently by trained stylists, Sew-in maintenance should not damage natural hair. We focus on reducing tension, detangling carefully, and using nourishing products to prevent breakage and support healthy hair under the extensions.

Minor color touch-ups and light restyling can be done during maintenance, but full coloring or dramatic restyles require separate appointments to ensure proper processing and protect the integrity of hair and extensions.

Most Sew-in maintenance sessions take about forty-five to ninety minutes depending on adjustments, hair length, and any add-on treatments like deep conditioning. We'll provide a precise time estimate when you book so you can plan your visit.

You don't need to wash your sew-in before arriving; we include a professional shampoo during the appointment. If your sew-in is extremely dirty or product-laden, a light rinse at home helps—otherwise just arrive with dry hair and preferred accessories.

Avoid heavy oils, tight hairstyles, and excessive heat immediately after maintenance. Sleep on a silk scarf, minimize swimming in chlorinated or salty water for forty-eight hours, and follow our aftercare tips to preserve the style and scalp health.
