Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Sew-In.

A professionally installed Full Sew-In can last four to eight weeks depending on hair growth, maintenance, and activities. Regular cleansing, minimal heat, and a protective night routine help preserve the install; schedule a maintenance appointment around six weeks.

When installed by experienced stylists, a Full Sew-In protects ends and reduces manipulation. Damage risks arise from overly tight braids, heavy extensions, or prolonged installs; we customize tension and advise care to minimize strain and keep hair healthy.

Pricing varies with hair type, length, and stylist experience. We offer transparent quotes after consultation, including installation time and materials. Contact Charlotte African hair braiding for a personalized estimate and to discuss premium or budget-friendly extension options.

Yes — you can wash and style a Full Sew-In carefully. Use sulfate-free shampoo, dilute products, and gently cleanse along the braids. Avoid heavy soaking and rough drying; always air-dry or low-heat style and follow aftercare instructions for lasting results.

Wait at least forty-eight to seventy-two hours before swimming or heavy sweating to let the installation settle. Wear a swim cap, rinse extensions promptly, and secure hair during exercise to reduce tangling and preserve the sew-in.

We recommend high-quality human hair extensions for the most natural movement and longevity, including Remy or virgin options. Synthetic hair can be used for budget looks but may limit styling. Your stylist will help choose texture and weight to match your hair.
