How To Make Sew In Weave Look Natural?

Choose a good color match

To be honest, you won’t have a realistic look if the color of hair extensions doesn’t match your natural hair. The primary step to have your hair blended seamlessly with extensions is choosing a good color match.

If you buy hair extensions in a store, you should put extensions on your hair and compare them side by side. When buying hair online, you should read the details of the product and see the image carefully to know whether it matches your hair color. 

An important thing you have to consider when buying hair extensions online is the return policy that allows you to return the hair back in case you don’t have your desired color.

Choose the right length 

The longer extensions don’t mean a better look. To blend the hair extensions seamlessly with your natural hair, you shouldn’t wear a weave that is more than 4 inches longer than your natural hair. 

For a natural look, you should layer your hair with different lengths. For example, if your natural hair is about 14 inches long and you want it to look longer, you should use one pack at 16 inches and some packs at 18 inches. By layering those extensions, the final result will look like they grow from your scalp.

Pay attention to the quality of the hair

Cheap hair can be bought everywhere, but it can not guarantee the quality, and can not blend well. Take the time to research and choose the best type of hair extension for you. 

As a pro in the hair industry for years, I highly recommend using 100% virgin human hair rather than any others. Hair extensions made of virgin hair are almost like your natural hair. They’re soft, smooth and silky. Wearing high quality virgin hair extensions, you won’t have to worry about tangling and shedding.

If having hair that is natural looking and closely matches your own is your goal then the quality of the hair, the texture, and the color should all be considered when trying to choose the extensions that best fit your need.
