Gentle Processing, Striking Results

Each batch of hair undergoes a gentle yet thorough processing technique. This ensures that the color and texture are consistently perfect, without compromising the hair’s natural vitality. Your clients will appreciate the difference in hair that is not only beautiful but also strong and reliable.

A Palette of Possibilities

TRANSFORMATIONS

What Are Sew-In Hair Extensions?

Elegant, Enduring, Exquisite: Elevate Your Style with Timeless Elegance!

Ideal for Both Seasoned Professionals and Enthusiasts

Sew-in hair extensions are a traditional and highly popular form of hair extensions. These extensions involve wefts of hair that are sewn into beaded or braided hair rows called "tracks."

Cherished for their durability and versatility, sew-in extensions are a top choice for those seeking a semi-permanent hair transformation. Typically, a full head installation can be completed in a couple of hours.

Detailed and Personalized Installation

The process proceeds row by row with your client’s natural hair being beaded or braided into a track. Then, using a specialty needle and thread, the hair wefts are meticulously sewn onto the tracks. This method offers a secure and natural-looking result that blends seamlessly with the client’s hair.

This level of customization makes them perfect not just for your clients, but also for those looking to achieve a professional level of hair enhancement on their own.

Gentle Removal, Maintaining Integrity

When it’s time for a change, the removal of sew-in extensions is straightforward and maintains the integrity of the natural hair. The thread is carefully cut and removed, the beads or braids are undone releasing the wefts without any harsh chemicals or damaging tools.

The beauty of this process is its respect for both your time and your client’s natural hair. Post-removal, the wefts can be reused for future installations, making sew-in extensions a sustainable and cost-effective choice.

SIMPLE INSTALLATION

SEW IN HAIR EXTENSIONS FAQ

WHY SEW IN EXTENSIONS?

As a salon boutique focused on providing top-notch hair solutions, there are several reasons why we love sew-in hair extensions.

1. Natural Look and Feel

  • Seamless Integration: Sew-in hair extensions blend flawlessly with natural hair, offering a look and feel that is remarkably similar to the client’s own hair.
  • Versatility in Styling: These extensions can be styled just like natural hair, allowing clients to experiment with various hairstyles without limitations.

2. Durability and Longevity

  • Lasting Wear: Properly maintained sew-in extensions can last for several weeks, providing clients with a long-term hair solution.
  • Protection for Natural Hair: By tucking away the natural hair, sew-ins can protect it from daily wear and tear, as well as environmental factors.

3. Customization

  • Personalized for Each Client: We can tailor the extensions to match the client's hair color, texture, and desired length, ensuring a customized experience and finish.
  • Adaptable to Various Hair Types: Sew-ins are suitable for a wide range of hair types, from fine to thick, offering solutions for diverse client needs.

4. Healthier Hair Option

  • No Heat or Glue Required: Unlike some other extension methods, sew-ins do not require heat or adhesives, which can minimize potential damage to the client’s natural hair.
  • Breathability: The method allows the scalp to breathe, maintaining better scalp health.

5. Cost-Effectiveness

  • Economical Over Time: While the initial installation might be a bit costly, the long-term wear and the ability to reuse the hair wefts make it a cost-effective option.

6. Volume and Length

  • Instant Transformation: Clients seeking a dramatic change in hair volume or length can achieve their desired look instantly with sew-ins.

7. Stylist Creativity

  • A Canvas for Artistry: This method allows us, as stylists, to fully engage our creativity and skill in customizing unique looks for our clients.

In summary, sew-in hair extensions are a preferred choice due to their natural appearance, durability, customization potential, and the healthy approach they offer for hair styling. They perfectly align with our ethos of providing high-quality, personalized, and innovative hair solutions that prioritize the health and satisfaction of your clients.

Absolutely, there are different kinds of sew-in extension techniques, each with its unique application method and benefits. The two prominent types are beaded row and braided (traditional) sew-ins. Let's delve into how these two methods contrast:

Beaded Row Sew-In Extensions

1. Application Method:

  • Small beads or micro-links are attached to the client’s natural hair.
  • The hair wefts are then sewn onto these beaded rows.

2. Scalp Impact:

  • Less tension on the scalp as there are no braids.
  • Generally considered more comfortable and less heavy.

3. Versatility and Adjustability:

  • Easier to adjust, as the beads can be moved or removed with relative ease.

4. Maintenance and Accessibility:

  • Easier access to the scalp and natural hair for washing and maintenance.
  • Often preferred for clients with finer hair types.

5. Installation Time:

  • Typically quicker than braided methods.

Braided (Traditional) Sew-In Extensions

1. Application Method:

  • The client’s natural hair is braided into cornrows.
  • Hair wefts are then sewn onto these braids.

2. Scalp Impact:

  • Can be heavier and tighter, potentially causing more tension on the scalp.
  • Some clients may find this method less comfortable initially.

3. Versatility and Adjustability:

Less flexibility for adjustments once installed.

4. Maintenance and Accessibility:

  • More challenging to access the scalp and natural hair for washing and maintenance.
  • Often preferred for thicker, coarser hair types.

5. Installation Time:

  • Generally takes longer than beaded methods due to the braiding process.

Summary

  • Beaded Row Extensions: Offer a lighter, more flexible option with easier scalp access and maintenance, ideal for clients with all hair types.
  • Braided Sew-In Extensions: Provides a secure, long-lasting option, for clients with thicker hair that can handle the weight and tension of the braids.

Both methods are chosen based on the client's hair type, scalp sensitivity, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences. As a stylist, understanding these differences allows you to recommend the most suitable method for each client, ensuring their comfort and satisfaction with the extensions.

Sew-in wefts come in various types, each with unique characteristics and benefits. Here's a breakdown of the different kinds:

  1. Machine-Tied Wefts: These are created using a sewing machine (thus the name), which makes them robust and durable. They are typically thicker and heavier compared to other weft types, making them suitable for clients with denser hair. The machine-tied method ensures a secure, long-lasting weft, but they are bulkier than other types. Since wefted hair is directional, it has a fold at the top. Some types of wefts hide this "return hair." On traditional machine wefts, the return hair is not hidden and the folded hair is visible at the top.
  2. Hand-Tied Wefts: As the name suggests, these wefts are made by hand, which results in a thinner, more delicate weft. The stitches are tiny and wefts lay flatter against the scalp, providing a more natural look and feel. Hand-tied wefts are ideal for clients with finer or thinner hair, as they blend seamlessly without adding unnecessary bulk. They do not hold as much hair as machine wefts and are often layered or stacked 3 to 4 wefts to maintain a small stitching profile, but create a thicker density. Hand tied wefts also need a drop of adhesive if the weft stitching is cut.
  3. Genius Wefts: These are a newer innovation in the hair extension industry. Genius wefts combine features of machine-tied and hand-tied wefts. They are not quite as thin as hand-tied wefts, but can be cut without adhesive like machine-tied wefts. We think that hand tied wefts are still a better option than genius wefts because hand tied wefts are thinner for client comfort and the only real perk is that you can cut the wefts without adhesive to secure the ends.
  4. Seamless Wefts: These wefts are designed to lie flat against the head for a no-bulk finish. Seamless wefts are similar to machine wefts in thickness, but the top looks like a ribbon instead of stitching. The return hairs are also hidden. They are perfect for clients seeking easy fullness with minimal bulk of the wefts. If you are in a situation where you need to choose between machine wefts and seamless, seamless is likely a better choice.

WHAT HAIR QUALITY IS THIS?

Remy human hair is highly sought after for its superior quality, characterized by cuticles that are uniformly aligned from root to tip. This unique feature ensures the hair remains softer, smoother, and free from tangles, significantly enhancing its longevity.

However, obtaining genuine 100% Remy human hair presents a considerable challenge. The collection process is intricate, requiring the hair to be cut in ponytails to maintain its natural direction and integrity. This careful handling is essential to preserve the quality and characteristics of Remy hair.

Further complicating the issue is the presence of dishonest vendors in the market. These vendors often falsely label their products as Remy hair, exploiting the term for higher profits. This deceptive practice emphasizes the importance of sourcing Remy hair from reputable and trustworthy suppliers.

Opting for Remy hair from a reliable source not only ensures you are providing your clients with top-tier hair extensions but also contributes to easier maintenance and client satisfaction. Satisfied clients lead to a fulfilling and successful career in hair styling.

To verify the quality of your extensions as top-tier Remy hair, consider these essential characteristics:

  1. Cuticle Alignment: Premium Remy hair features cuticles that are uniformly aligned, which helps in reducing tangling and preserving a natural appearance and texture. You can test this by running your fingers along the strands; moving upwards should feel slightly more resistant.
  2. Consistency in Texture and Color: Look for uniformity in both texture and color throughout the hair. This uniformity is a hallmark of selective sourcing and careful processing.
  3. Softness and Luster: Authentic Remy hair is distinguishable by its softness and a natural luster that showcases its quality.
  4. Durability and Strength: High-grade Remy hair typically exhibits minimal breakage, indicating the strength and health of the hair fibers.
  5. Styling Compatibility: Genuine quality Remy hair should react to styling and heat tools similarly to natural hair, indicating its authenticity.
  6. The Burn Test: If you suspect you may have synthetics in your bundle, separate a few strands away from the pack and burn them with a lighter. Real human hair emits a specific sulfur-like smell when burned, unlike synthetic fibers.

Remember, when in doubt, the most reliable way to ensure you're getting authentic, high-grade Remy hair extensions is to purchase from a reputable and trusted supplier like Doctored Locks. This step is crucial for acquiring genuine quality products.

When seeking premium Remy hair extensions online, here are some key factors to ensure you're getting the best quality:

Trustworthy Supplier: At Doctored Locks, we have built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality products consistently.

Comprehensive Product Information: Our product listings provide detailed descriptions, highlighting key terms such as "Remy" and "cuticle-aligned," to inform your purchase decision.

Customer Feedback: We encourage you to read through customer reviews, focusing on remarks regarding the hair's texture and longevity.

Our superior Remy sew-in hair extensions are crafted to maintain their quality for up to 12 months or even years, contingent upon appropriate care and handling.

The longevity of these extensions is influenced by factors such as styling techniques and the level of maintenance they receive. Consistent, gentle washing and limiting exposure to high heat can significantly prolong their lifespan, ensuring they retain their beauty and functionality over time.

BUYING SEW IN EXTENSIONS ONLINE

When hunting for the best sew-in hair extensions online, keep this checklist handy:

Remy is Key: Focus on descriptions that specify 'Remy' hair. Inspect the images to ensure the hair maintains its volume and thickness all the way to the ends.

Quality of Processing: Pay attention to the hair's treatment process. You want natural, minimally processed hair for the best results. Our sew-in hair extensions are treated with care to preserve their natural beauty and strength.

Weave Perfection: Unlike tape-ins, sew-ins don't need adhesive tape, but the quality of the weft is crucial. It should be strong and durable for lasting wear.

Length and Color Range: An extensive variety of lengths and colors is vital. This allows for a perfect match with your client's natural hair, reducing the need for additional styling during the appointment.

Authentic Reviews: Read customer reviews, particularly those with photos, to get a genuine sense of how the extensions perform and look.

Reliable Return Policy: A robust return policy and proactive customer service are essential for a worry-free purchase.

Price Reflects Quality: Be wary of extremely low prices. High-quality hair extensions come at a cost, and anything too cheap might compromise on quality.

Choose a seller like Doctored Locks who is known for their transparency, detailed information, and excellent customer support for a seamless buying experience!

To make sure you find the ideal color match for our sew-in extensions online, try one of these fail-safe methods:

Utilize Our Photo Text Service: Take a photo of your client's hair in natural lighting and text it to us. We'll get back to you with images of our extensions that are the closest match. This direct visual comparison ensures you pick just the right hue.

These services are designed to make sure you always find the perfect match for your clients, every single time!

Certainly!

If the shade of your extensions doesn't match your expectations, rest assured. We provide a straightforward 30-day return policy without any complications or queries.

WHAT HAPPENS AT EXTENSION APPOINTMENTS?

Absolutely, a consultation for sew-in hair extensions is an essential step to ensure client satisfaction.

Here's a brief overview of what happens during a sew-in hair extension consultation:

  1. Lifestyle and Maintenance Discussion: Right at the start, talk about your client's daily routine and how it might affect their hair extensions. It's important for them to understand the maintenance and care required for sew-in extensions to ensure longevity and to keep their natural hair healthy.
  2. Color Matching: This is a crucial step to ensure the extensions blend seamlessly with the client's natural hair. Choose the right shade that matches or complements their current hair color.
  3. Length and Style Determination: Discuss the desired length and look your client wants to achieve with the extensions. This helps in selecting the appropriate length of the wefts.
  4. Volume Assessment: Evaluate the client's natural hair and decide on the number of wefts needed. The goal is to ensure the extensions provide the right amount of volume for a natural and full appearance.
  5. Agreement and Deposit: Once all the details are confirmed, finalize the appointment with a signed agreement and take a deposit. This is also when you’ll order the necessary supplies for the sew-in service.

Having this structured consultation process guarantees a customized and satisfying sew-in hair extension experience for your clients.

During a sew-in hair extension installation appointment, the process typically includes:

  1. Final Payment and Before Photos: As the appointment commences, settle any remaining balance and take before photos to document the client's hair pre-extensions.
  2. Hair Preparation: The client’s hair should be freshly washed, dried, and free of any styling products. This step is crucial for trouble-free installation of the wefts.
  3. Creating Rows: The natural hair is beaded or braided into tracks. These serve as the foundation to which the hair wefts will be sewn.
  4. Weft Installation: Starting from the nape of the neck and working upwards, the hair wefts are meticulously sewn onto the tracks using a specialty weaving needle and bonded thread. This method ensures a secure and flat application.
  5. Cutting and Blending: Once the wefts are in place, they are cut and blended to harmonize flawlessly with the client’s natural hair, achieving a seamless transition.
  6. Final Styling: The newly extended hair is then styled to the client’s preference, often incorporating techniques to blend the extensions naturally with their own hair.
  7. After Photos: Post-styling, take after photos to capture the transformation and for your portfolio.
  8. Post-Appointment Care Instructions: Provide your client with detailed care instructions to maintain their new sew-in extensions and natural hair health.
  9. Scheduling Future Appointments: Set a reminder for a follow-up appointment to check the integrity of the extensions, make any necessary adjustments, and plan for future maintenance or removal.

Following these steps ensures a thorough and satisfying sew-in hair extension installation experience for your clients.

As a stylist, it's important to recognize that individual hair growth varies from client to client.

For those with sew-in hair extensions, the frequency of maintenance appointments can differ based on this growth rate.

Generally, it is advisable to have sew-in extensions moved up or adjusted every 6 to 8 weeks. This recommendation is based on average hair growth, which is typically about half an inch to an inch per month.

As the natural hair grows, the base row to which the extensions are attached moves further away from the scalp. This can make styling more challenging and may affect the natural look of the extensions.

Therefore, to ensure the extensions continue to look seamless and blend well with the natural hair, scheduling a maintenance appointment around this 6 to 8-week mark is usually the best course of action.

Yes, definitely!

Wefted hair extensions can be customized by cutting, which is often essential for achieving the best results. Wefted extensions can be trimmed to attain the desired length, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the client's natural hair for the perfect style.

Cutting the weft stitching:

As a stylist, you have the flexibility to tailor these extensions to each client's unique look. However, it's important to note that when working with hand-tied wefts, special care is needed. If you find it necessary to cut the weft itself, not just the hair, a key consideration is the weft stitching. Cutting through the stitching of hand-tied wefts requires an additional step to prevent unraveling. After cutting, apply a small drop of hair extension glue to the cut end of the weft. This will secure the stitching and maintain the integrity of the weft.

Remember, cutting the weft's stitching is different from cutting the hair on the weft. This distinction is crucial for maintaining the quality and longevity of the wefted hair extensions. As always, these adjustments should be made with precision and care to ensure the best outcome for your clients.

Yes, coloring sew-in hair extensions is feasible, though it comes with certain stipulations. While lightening these extensions is generally discouraged, adding darker color shades can be successfully achieved. Prior to a full color application, it's vital to perform a strand test on a small section of the extensions. This precautionary step is to ensure that the final color meets your expectations.

For Weaves Sewn into Braids:

  1. Thread Cutting: Start by carefully locating and cutting the thread at the knots. Exercise caution to avoid cutting the natural hair. Using a seam ripper or small scissors can be helpful for precision.
  2. Weft Removal: Once the thread is cut and loosened, proceed to gently detach the wefts from the braided tracks. Ensure that you're lifting the wefts away from the scalp without pulling on the braids.
  3. Braid Unraveling: After the wefts are fully removed, methodically unbraid the client's hair. This might be a good time to engage in a brief consultation about their hair's condition and any future styling plans.
  4. Post-Removal Care: Offer a wash, deep conditioning, and detangling service to help restore the client's hair after the weave removal.

For Sew In Extensions with Beaded Rows:

  1. Thread Cutting: Start by carefully locating and cutting the thread at the knots. Using a seam ripper or small scissors can be helpful for precision.
  2. Weft Removal: Once the thread is loosened, proceed to gently detach the wefts from the beaded tracks. Ensure that you're lifting the wefts away from the scalp without pulling on the row.
  3. Bead Extraction: Once the wefts are off, remove any beads from the hair using a bead opener or pliers to carefully loosen the microbeads.
  4. Hair Maintenance: Post removal, provide a thorough brush out, wash, and conditioning treatment. This is an opportunity to assess the health of the client’s scalp and hair, offering professional advice for aftercare.

Professional Tips:

  • Time Management: Allocate sufficient time for the removal process, ensuring you don't rush through the steps, which might lead to hair damage or discomfort for the client.
  • Client Comfort: Keep the client informed about each step, ensuring they feel comfortable throughout the process.
  • Follow-Up Services: Discuss and recommend follow-up treatments or services that might benefit the client's hair health post-weave removal.

By following these steps, you as a professional stylist can ensure a safe, efficient, and comfortable weave removal experience for your clients.

CARE AND LIFESTYLE

Sew-in hair extensions can indeed be washed and styled quite similarly to natural hair, offering your clients versatility and ease of maintenance.

As a professional stylist, it's essential to suggest the use of professional-grade hair care products. These are specially designed to be gentle on both the natural hair and the extensions. For this purpose, the Amika's Kure line is highly recommended.

It's also important to advise your clients to limit the use of heat styling tools. Reducing the frequency of heat application will help in maintaining the quality and prolonging the lifespan of the sew-in extensions.

For the best care of sew-in hair extensions, I highly recommend the Amika Kure line. While we're not sponsored by them, our experience shows that their products are exceptionally effective in preserving the quality of Remy human hair extensions. Many typical challenges with extensions are often remedied by transitioning to this specific line of products.

Included in the Amika styling range is Glass Action, a heat protectant, which is crucial for protecting the hair against damage from heat styling tools. Regular use of these products not only helps maintain the hair’s quality but also extends its usability for multiple installations.

Certainly, your clients can comfortably sleep with their sew-in hair extensions. It's important to advise them to ensure their hair is completely dry before going to bed. A good practice is to loosely braid or tie up their hair to minimize any potential tangling or matting during the night.

This straightforward bedtime routine is key in preserving the quality and appearance of the sew-in hair extensions, helping them to maintain their beautiful look for an extended period.

Yes, your clients can swim with sew-in hair extensions, but certain precautions are recommended to protect the hair.

It's wise to caution them about the potential risks of discoloration due to mineral-rich waters and self-tanners, as well as the drying effects of chlorine and saltwater.

They should also be careful with tanning lotions and oils, as these can leave residues and build up, potentially leading to matting of the hair.

Before swimming, applying a light conditioner to the extensions can create a protective layer, and it's advisable to tie the hair up to keep it out of the water as much as possible.

For clients who plan to fully immerse themselves underwater, wearing a swim cap is a great idea to minimize exposure to these elements. Following these guidelines will help maintain the integrity and appearance of the sew-in hair extensions.

Absolutely!

Your clients can definitely participate in sports or workouts while wearing sew-in hair extensions. However, it's important to be mindful of how sweat and oils can impact the hair's quality over time, as they can lead to unintentional build-up.

It's a good idea to recommend that clients style their hair in a way that keeps it secure and out of the way during physical activities.

After exercising, it's crucial to gently detangle the extensions. This kind of regular maintenance helps in preserving the condition of the extensions and extending their longevity.
