WHAT ARE SEW-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS
It all begins with an idea.
What Are Beaded Sew-In Extensions?
When it comes to enhancing your hair with added length, volume, or even pops of color, hair extensions are a go-to solution. One popular method gaining attention in the beauty industry is beaded sew-in extensions. But what exactly are they, and how do they work?
What Are Beaded Sew-In Extensions?
Beaded sew-in extensions are a hybrid technique that combines two well-known methods: beaded rows and traditional sew-ins. Small silicone-lined beads are used to create a secure foundation along your natural hair. This allows for even distribution of weight and the silicone inside the beads protects the natural hair. Once the beads are in place, wefts (tracks) of hair are carefully sewn onto that foundation.
This creates a flat, secure, and natural-looking result without using glue or heat, making it a safer option for your natural hair.
Who Are They For?
Beaded sew-in extensions are ideal for clients who:
Want to add lighter colors without harsh chemicals.
Prefer a reusable, low-maintenance extension option.
Need a style that blends seamlessly with their natural hair.
Want flexibility (extensions can be moved up as your hair grows).
Why Choose Beaded Sew-In Extensions?
Healthier for Your Hair: No glue, tape, or heat required.
Comfortable & Lightweight: Feels natural and easy to wear.
Customizable: Works with various hair types, textures, and styles.
Reusable Hair: With proper care, the hair wefts can be reused, making it cost-effective over time.
How Long Do They Last?
Typically, beaded sew-in extensions need to be maintained every 6–8 weeks as your natural hair grows. With proper care and regular maintenance, your extensions will remain secure and look beautiful. The hair lasts up to one year in most cases.
The Bottom Line
Beaded sew-in extensions are an excellent option for anyone looking for natural-looking, long-lasting results without damaging their natural hair. Whether you’re going for fuller, thicker hair or experimenting with length, this method is versatile, safe, and customizable to fit your unique style.
