So while sew-ins can be great, it's best to get some good information about taking care of your hair during the process. You know, you could always go to a salon to get maintenance with the sew-ins too, but I usually like to do mine at home.

The last couple of sew ins I had damaged my hair both because I didn't know how to take care of my natural hair with a sew in and also because the stylist braided my hair too tight. I've been getting it back to normal but I want to put my hair away in a safe and healthy way.

My hair was significantly shorter, so I decided to hide my hair away so I wouldn't have to manipulate it or style it, giving it that change to grow back. That's my main reason my getting the sew-ins.
