Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Sew-In with Lace Closure.

Typically 6–8 weeks with regular maintenance; high-quality installation and careful at-home care can extend wear to 10–12 weeks. Avoid excessive tension, moisturize edges, and schedule gentle re-tightening to preserve the weave and protect natural hair health.

When installed correctly and not overly tight, sew-ins are low-damage protective styles. We prioritize gentle braiding, proper tension, and scalp care. Follow post-install instructions and avoid prolonged heavy styles to minimize breakage and maintain healthy growth.

Gently cleanse scalp weekly with diluted sulfate-free shampoo, pat dry, and avoid soaking the closure. Apply lightweight moisturizer to the braid roots, sleep on a silk scarf or pillowcase, and limit heat styling to preserve the lace and keep edges healthy.

You can swim or exercise, but take precautions. Wear a secure swim cap, rinse salt or chlorine immediately, gently blot dry, and reapply lightweight leave-in to the braids. Avoid prolonged wetness near the closure to prevent loosening.

We recommend a check-in two to three weeks after install to assess fit and edges. Full maintenance or re-tightening is typically done every six to eight weeks, depending on hair growth and your styling preferences.

We offer multiple lace types (transparent, HD), customizable parting size, bleachable knots, and color-matched lace for seamless blending. Our stylists can trim, tint, or pluck the closure to match your hairline and achieve your desired natural look.
