Okay, I have a sew in for the first time. I got it for prom but it looks really nice and I plan on wearing them for a while. I have LOTS of questions. So if you can answer them or some, I'd appreciate it. ^_^ Or if you have things that I should know about wearing these, that would definitely be appreciated as well.
-How do I keep MY hair under the sew in moisturized?
-It's braided, what do I use to oil my scalp?
-Can I wash this stuff while it's sewed in?
-How do I oil my scalp withouth getting too much on the weave so that it doesn't look oily and weighed down?
-What oil should I use?
-Can I use the same hair after it's taken down? If so, how do I clean it?

Diva has it down! I can't help a whole lot since I don't wear sew-ins, but I would agree that taking care of your weave hair should help in taking care of your hair underneath. You definitely want to shampoo and condition the weave hair -- that will help it to last. Use leave-in conditioners, but nothing heavy. You can definitely re-use extension hair especially if you take care of it. Hope it works out for you! ------------- Love clip-ins and tape! |

How do I keep MY hair under the sew in moisturized?
-It's braided, what do I use to oil my scalp?
Olive oil, or organic root stimulator has shea butter.
-Can I wash this stuff while it's sewed in?
Always shampoo hair in the shower, because you don't want to have matting or tangling.
-How do I oil my scalp withouth getting too much on the weave so that it doesn't look oily and weighed down?
Sally's has applicator bottles with spouts on the tip. -
What oil should I use?
Fill the bottle with olive oil.
-Can I use the same hair after it's taken down? If so, how do I clean it?
You can use the hair if it is reputable hair, ex: extension plus, Halley's curl, Saga Remy ect.
The thing that I tell my clients is, there is no need to oil the scalp heavily, this will cause a build up and cause odor. Lightly oiling as needed is what I say. If the hair is long enough to make plaits, plait it and put rubber bands on the ends and proceed to shampoo. When your weave gets old you can use a rat tail comb to relieve you of the itching. I use a tea tree shampoo and Redken allsoft on my clients. It does two things at once.
Goodluck
