How to prep hair for weave

Sew-ins are a great way to add length, volume, or thickness to your hair if you’ve had trouble blending hair extensions. While hair extensions add volume and length, sew-ins are woven into or installed over cornrowed hair, and will be the entirety of the visible hair in many cases.
