i stim with my hair all the time so I do my best to take care of it. after I bleach it I use shampoo and conditioner (Monday hair btw) and I apply biosilk to the ends of my hair to dry in.
plus i have always been kind of a dyke and had my hair crazy colors as a teen and that meant lots of bleaching so I'm a certified veteran o7
I don't like wigs. I tried them over and over to try and get the concept of it but it never clicked with me. I didn't like maintaining them everyday, I didn't like the dramatic baby hairs, I didn't like the glue sticking on my forehead/hairline, it was just a big NO for me. Once I switched back to traditional sew-ins, I knew I had found my go-to hairstyle. I usually go to the Dominicans to get my sew-ins and they come out bomb each and every time. The upkeep is what keeps it looking new & fresh and in this post, I'm going to tell you exactly how to do that.
For those who don't know, a traditional sew-in is when you have a portion of your hair left out to cover the tracks. This could be done in a middle or left/right side part. The first thing you want to do when you get your sew-in is to make sure you wrap it down at night, this could be done with a paddle brush, a velcro wrap or a silk scarf. This will ensure that the sew-in doesn't tangle when you wake up or sweat out.
I personally like to put a serum on my natural hair & the extensions before wrapping, the 2 serums I usually use are BioSilk & Chi Silk Infusion, both can be found on their official websites, your local or professional beauty supply stores, Amazon, or Ulta. These 2 products will make your hair manageable & silky when unwrapping it in the morning.
Sew-ins typically lasts me a month and a half before having to wash it from product and/or natural hair oils. When doing this, I use products from the same line as the Chi Silk Infusion, so that'll be the Chi Infra Shampoo & the Infra Treatment (which is a conditioner with a built-in heat protectant).
After shampooing comes blow drying. I do however use a thermal blow dry protectant by Kenra (found at Ulta or online) because I like my hair to feel and look as natural as possible, and using the right products will do so. Depending on my mood determines the style of my hair after I blow dry it. I'll usually go for the easy silk press style, or if I'm feeling fancy I will curl & flexi rod the hair. It depends. After styling, I add a little more of that Chi Silk Infusion for shine, not too much or your hair will literally be oily again, just a drop the size of a crumb.
By following these steps, your sew-in could last for a maximum of 3 months, no later than that because we still have to take care of our natural hair.
What’s your current hair care routine and what styles have you been wearing lately?
Ive been doing black tea hair rinses lately, they’re so good at reducing breakage and strengthening your hair overall.
Other than that its just my regular routine, I find that shampooing/conditioning more often works best for my hair, it keeps it moisturized and helps it break less. I also make it a point to keep my ends nourished, either with a serum (I like biosilk) or with an oil. I deep condition from time to time as well, my favorite diy is ghee+honey.
I wash my hair every few days (maximum I’ll go is a week) and I alternate between silk presses and wearing my hair curly. That’s just what works for me.

11: anything from your childhood you’ve held onto? Yes, I’ve actually held into my kola bear and a blanket that I got when I was just born so I think that’s pretty cool !!
12: brand of haircare/ bodycare/ skincare you trust 100% ? Hmmmm mines boring but probably biosilk it really helped my hair to grow and be silkier and you can use it on your skin aswell it actually cleared my skin up too !!
15: rank the methods of death: freezing, burning, drowning: okay so least to most : last for me would probably be freezing cause I feel like you’d go numb but I don’t know !! Then burning your probably pass out from the heat and then first would be drowning I have a fear of suffocating and to me drowning would just be so scary !!
19: the veggie you dislike the most: hmmm probably beetroot or asparagus im not a huge fan of veggies but if I had to pick probably those
Thank you for the ask they are always very much appreciated ❤️!!
