In the sew-in technique, the weft of the weave is sewed into the braids of your hair. These braids are created by cornrowing. It is not painful and won’t prick your scalp. Every stylist knows how to do a sew-in with a weave. Though you might experience some extra weight due to extensions.

A successor of the sew-in method, the net sew-in technique is a net sewed over the cornrows. This is followed by attaching the weave onto the net. This method is great for thin hair but hardly allows any scalp access.

Quick and easy as it sounds. The hair is parted into sections and the weave is glued to the hair near the scalp, and not on the scalp.

It is a fusion of your natural hair with the extensions. Done by a skilled stylist, fusion is a process of attaching hair strand by strand with hot wax. The fusion process imparts the most natural look to your tresses but could be a bit heavy on your pocket.
Removing a weave can be a bit tricky so we would advise you not to try this at home. At least for the first-timers. It involves cutting down the threads used to sew it onto your hair. You might end up cutting your own hair if not careful. So don’t be a daredevil by removing the weave by yourself.
When weaves are on your head, these almost look like your own hair. Thus, they also need the same amount of care. This is How Often You Should Wash Your Hair Under Extensions to make them last for a longer period.
