So you decided to get a sew-in to switch up your look, grow out your natural hair, cut down on your styling time — or all of the above. Post-install, you’re basking in the glory of your fresh style, kissing bad hair days goodbye. However, flash forward eight weeks later and you’re noticing that your once-fresh weave is feeling — and maybe even smelling — anything but; meaning: it’s time to take it out. While you may be inclined to head to the salon to see your trusted stylist for this task, it is possible to take out your sew-in all by yourself.
To prove it to you, we spoke with none other than celebrity hairstylist Nai’vasha (you’ve seen her hair magic on Tracee Ellis Ross and Nathalie Emmanuel), to give you step-by-step tips on how to safely take out your sew-in without accidentally chopping off a chunk of your own hair. Because the last thing any of us needs right now is a hair tragedy.
All of her best tricks, ahead.
