Get answers to common questions about Saw In Instelation.

Most Saw In Instelation sessions take between two and four hours depending on hair length, braid pattern complexity, and desired volume. We allow ample time for careful placement and secure stitching. Your stylist will provide a personalized timeframe during consultation.

When performed by experienced stylists, sew-in installation minimizes damage. We use protective braid patterns, appropriate tension, and reinforced stitching to avoid breakage. Proper aftercare and periodic maintenance are essential to protect natural hair and scalp health.

We recommend waiting forty-eight to seventy-two hours before gently washing to allow knots and stitching to settle. Use sulfate-free products, avoid heavy rubbing at the roots, and follow stylist guidance on drying and product choices.

Maintenance appointments are typically recommended every four to eight weeks to tighten braids, check stitching, and refresh edges. Frequency depends on hair growth rate and activity level; regular maintenance helps prolong wear and maintain a neat, natural appearance.

Yes, but use heat cautiously. Apply a heat protectant before styling and avoid excessive heat near the stitched tracks to prevent loosening. Low to medium temperatures and minimal heat exposure extend the lifespan and preserve the bond between wefts and braids.

Bring inspiration photos, any preferred hair extensions if already purchased, and information about your recent chemical treatments. Arrive with clean, detangled hair. If you have specific scalp sensitivities, inform your stylist so they can adapt techniques and products accordingly.
