Read this before ordering hair or hitting the salon.
This installation process begins with braids. Your natural hair is braided into a series of eight to 10 cornrows , which serve as a base for sewing on hair wefts. The kind of braid pattern you select depends on the style of weave you want. For full sew-ins , circular braid patterns are often preferred by stylists since they don’t have to worry about sewing down the ends of hair, while some stylists use cornrows for installing crochet locs, twists, and curls. Once the braids are done, they’re reinforced with a thick hair weaving thread to keep them secure. Afterwards, several wefts are sewn directly onto the braids row by row, from ear to ear. If you’re getting a closure, this is when the stylist lines up the hairpiece to your natural part and sews it directly on top.
