So I got a sew in done... I haven't taken pics yet but when I do, I will post a couple.
Soooooo..... I dont hate it.
My first go round with extensions etc so it took a min to get used to it (it's been about a week). It was WAY too long for my taste initially (I bought 14 inch extensions) so she cut it for me. Now I know to get 12 inch going forward. I don't like the hair too much.... she told me where to go and which hair to get, and it's just not a good quality hair.
It was a decent price but I would definitely pay more for GOOD hair; I'll be on the search for good hair before my next install. This hair holds a whack curl, it falls by the end of the day even with hairspray.
I feel like there are some lumps and humps and bumps that ain't cool... and I have been noticing pieces of thread coming loose already.
I paid almost $200 for this install so please believe I'm disappointed. I'm going to text her to see if she can do some tightening since I Just got it done last Wednesday..
Overall I like the concept of a sew in and I think I will keep getting them to protect my hair/grow out my relaxer.... but I will likely go to someone new in addition to getting better hair.
I love that I can do my workouts in the morning and still be relatively cute afterwards..
Right now my regimen is twice a week, moisturize my braids with Aphogee Curlific Moisture spray, and use NJoy's oil on my scalp. Cowash my leaveout weekly. Shampoo and deep condition the extensions and my real hair every two weeks. Does that sound okay?
