Preparing your natural hair before your sew-in is equally as important as a quality installation. Making sure that your hair is at its healthiest will help you avoid the dangers of a sew-in.
Here are a few key steps to take before your installation:
WASHING YOUR HAIR:
Removing debris or foul smells is the first step in preparing your hair for you sew-in. Typically, three washes will ensure a cleansed scalp. Your first wash may not produce lather but this is okay, it is just an indication that your hair is not clean. The second & third wash will then produce the lather that we identify as “clean hair”. I enjoy using products with coconut or olive oil to penetrate my hair with natural moisturizing oils.
Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo is a very good product that I'll recommend.
CONDITIONING YOUR HAIR:
When preparing your hair for your sew-in, condition can be more important than the shampooing process. Because shampooing may cleanse the hair of its natural oils you must replace them with a moisture-intense conditioner.
Indian Hemp & Tamaniu Grow & Strengthen Treatment Masque is a great conditioning option. Because it’s a masque, you will receive optimal moisture because of it’s thick consistency.
MOISTURIZING/OILING THE SCALP:
Specturm Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is my go-to product when I want to moisturize my scalp. It can be purchased at your local grocery store. Since its organic it can be used for cooking as well as natural hair treatments.
Once you have prepared the hair (with product) it is now time to address breakage or split ends. I would suggest having your stylist trim the ends of your hair before your weave installation. Having your stylist trim your ends will allow your hair to properly grow while you wear your installation.
