Save $200+ on your next install. This beginner-friendly sew-in method works for straight, body wave, and curly bundles.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Let us be honest \u2014 salon installs hit different… until you see the bill. $250, $300, sometimes $400+ just to get your bundles sewn in? For a lot of us, that is not realistic every 6\u20138 weeks.<\/p>

The good news? You absolutely can do a clean, natural-looking sew-in at home. All you need is the right tools, a little patience, and this step-by-step guide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What You Will Need<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

  • 3\u20134 bundles + closure\/frontal (depending on length and fullness)<\/li>
  • Weaving thread (match your hair color)<\/li>
  • Curved weaving needle<\/li>
  • Hair clips (sectioning clips are a game changer)<\/li>
  • Rat-tail comb for clean parts<\/li>
  • Scissors<\/li>
  • A mirror setup (hand mirror + wall mirror so you can see the back)<\/li>
  • Optional: Got2b Glued or hair gel for laying the closure<\/li><\/ul>

    Step 1: Braid Your Base<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

    Start with clean, detangled hair.<\/p>

    • Part your hair into your preferred leave-out pattern (or a full braid-down if you are using a closure).<\/li>
    • Braid your hair flat to your scalp in horizontal cornrows. The braids should be neat but not so tight they give you a headache.<\/li>
    • For the back, braid straight down and tuck the ends under.<\/li><\/ul>

      Pro tip: The flatter your braids, the flatter your install will be. Lumpy braids = lumpy hair. No one wants that.<\/p>

      Step 2: Measure & Cut Your Wefts<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

      Take your first bundle and hold it against the lowest braid at the nape of your neck.<\/p>

      • Measure to fit the width of your head, then cut the weft.<\/li>
      • Work your way up, row by row, cutting each weft slightly shorter as you go (your head gets narrower toward the top).<\/li><\/ul>

        Do not cut through the actual weft stitching<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 cut between the wefts to avoid shedding.<\/p>

        Step 3: Start Sewing<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

        Thread your curved needle and double-knot the end.<\/p>

        • Start at the lowest braid (nape area).<\/li>
        • Sew the weft onto the braid using an under-and-over stitch. Go through the braid, then over the weft, pull tight.<\/li>
        • Keep your stitches close together (about \u00bc inch apart) for security.<\/li>
        • When you reach the end of the weft, double-knot it before moving up to the next row.<\/li><\/ul>

          Work your way up from the bottom to the top, row by row.<\/p>

          Step 4: Install Your Closure \/ Frontal<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

          Once you get to the top rows, it is closure time.<\/p>

          • Place your closure where you want your part to be.<\/li>
          • Sew around the perimeter first \u2014 front, sides, then back.<\/li>
          • Use smaller stitches along the hairline so they are invisible.<\/li>
          • Optioal: For a melt-worthy hairline, use a little Got2b on the lace edge and blow-dry on cool.<\/li><\/ul>

            \u00a0<\/b><\/strong>Step 5: Blend & Style<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

            • Cut any excess lace if you have not already.<\/li>
            • Pluck the hairline of your closure for a more natural look (do not over-pluck \u2014 less is more).<\/li>
            • Flat iron the leave-out (if you have any) together with the bundles to blend.<\/li>
            • Lay your edges, add your favorite serum, and you are done.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

              A: 6\u20138 weeks with proper care. After that, your natural hair grows out enough that the install starts shifting and you risk matting at the roots.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

              \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

              A: Yes, absolutely! Focus on the scalp and be gentle. Use a diluted shampoo and do not scrub roughly. Always air-dry or use low heat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

              A: For lengths 10\u201318″: 3 bundles is usually enough. 20\u201326″: 3\u20134 bundles. 28″+: 4 bundles minimum. Add a closure or frontal on top of that number.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

              \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

              A: Closures give you the most natural part and protect all your natural hair underneath. Leave-out is cheaper but requires more blending and heat styling your own hair. For protective styling, closures win.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

              A: Sew it down securely around the whole perimeter, and avoid heavy oils near the hairline. If you use gel or got2b, reapply every 1\u20132 weeks as needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
