My First Sew In Weave!

Tips  & Take-a-Ways

I never thought I would, but here I am rocking my very first sew in weave (with no closure or leave out).  You guys know I love my crochet braids.  I’ve been wearing crochet braids as a “workout proof” protective style for a year and a half now. I’ve enjoyed the convenience and freedom of experimenting with color, curls and length, all while protecting my natural hair underneath.

But, despite the ease and convenience of crochet braids, I’ve been drawn to the silky, natural texture of weave extensions.  Weaves provide access to a whole new look and texture of hair not found with crochet braids since the silky texture prevents the interlocking required to secure crochet braids.   So, after months of research and, yes many YouTube videos, I successfully installed my first sew in weave! But not without plenty mistakes and frustration.  To help you avoid making those same mistakes, I share below my top take-a-ways from my first weave installation.

Installing Your First Weave – Tips & Take-a-Ways

This is my review of the Freetress Ringlet Wand Curl.  This style is so edgy and so fierce!  I absolutely loved the finished look!  When it comes to hair and fashion, I’m such a risk taker.  I’ve been wanting to try this color combination together for a while and finally decided to just go for it.  Link to purchase hair.

The best thing about crochet braids, is you can change your hair color without dyeing your natural hair.  You can try any color, curl pattern and length you want without damaging your natural hair, so crochet braids are a true protective style for which the options are limitless!

nother workout proof crochet slay!  I came across the Femi Collection Mali Curl on sale at my local beauty supply for $2.99 a pack so I stocked up on the 1B and also picked up some in different shades.  I figured for $2.99 a pack, why not experiment with some color?  This hair was super easy to work with and the styling options are limitless.  I had so much fun styling this hair and got tons of compliments.
