Protect Your Sew-In. Protect Your Hair.

This guide is designed to help you maintain your sew-in, protect your natural hair, and extend the life of your install.

Following these steps is essential for healthy hair and long-lasting results.

💎 FIRST 48 HOURS (MOST IMPORTANT)

DO NOT:

❌ Apply heavy oils or grease

❌ Scratch your scalp aggressively

❌ Pull or tension the tracks

❌ Style hair tightly

Your scalp and braids need time to settle.

🧼 SCALP & CLEANSING CARE

Scalp Care

✔️ Oil scalp 2–3 times per week using a lightweight oil

✔️ Apply oil directly to the scalp — not the tracks

Washing Schedule

✔️ Shampoo every 10–14 days

✔️ Use diluted shampoo

✔️Gently massage scalp (no scrubbing)

⚠️ Avoid buildup — it leads to itching and matting.

🎀 NIGHTTIME ROUTINE (MANDATORY)

Every night:

✔️ Braid hair down or wrap securely

✔️ Cover with a silk or satin scarf

✔️Or sleep on a silk pillowcase

This prevents:

✔️ Frizz

✔️ Tangling

✔️ Track stress

🚫 COMMON SEW-IN MISTAKES

Avoid:

❌ Excessive heat on tracks

❌ Tight ponytails or buns

❌ Skipping maintenance

❌ Leaving sew-in installed too long

Ignoring maintenance can cause breakage and shedding.

⏰ MAINTENANCE TIMELINE

✔️ Sew-In Maintenance: every 2–3 weeks

✔️ Max Wear Time: 6–8 weeks

Leaving a sew-in longer than recommended risks damage to your natural hair.
