Leave-out vs Lace sew-ins

Leave-out vs Lace sew-ins

Hey bestie! It's time to dive into the glamorous world of hair extensions and explore the pros and cons of leave-out sew-ins and lace sew-ins for our stunning Black queens. We want you to have all the deets before you make your hair transformation, so let's get started on this informative journey together!

First up, leave-out sew-ins. This technique involves leaving out a portion of your natural hair to blend seamlessly with your extensions. The advantage of leave-out sew-ins is that they offer a natural look, mimicking your own hair effortlessly. You can style your leave-out to match your extensions, creating a flawless and undetectable finish.

Leave-out sew-ins also give you the flexibility to switch up hairstyles. You can straighten or curl your leave-out to match the texture of your extensions, allowing you to rock a variety of looks. It's like having the best of both worlds—your natural hair on display with the added volume and length of the extensions.

However, it's important to note that leave-out sew-ins require regular maintenance. Your natural hair must be blended and manipulated to match the extensions, which means more styling and potential heat damage. Additionally, some babes may find it challenging to achieve a seamless blend between their natural hair and the extensions, especially if their hair type doesn't perfectly match the texture and length.

Now, let's talk about lace sew-ins, also known as closure sew-ins. This method involves using a lace closure or frontal to create a natural-looking hairline and eliminate the need for leave-out. Lace sew-ins offer a flawless and realistic appearance, as the lace mimics the look of your scalp, giving the illusion of hair growing directly from it.

The advantage of lace sew-ins is that they provide versatility in styling. You can part your hair in any direction without worrying about exposing tracks or extension attachment points. The lace closure or frontal acts as a seamless blending point, leaving you with a stunning and believable hairstyle.

Lace sew-ins are also great for protecting your natural hair. By not requiring any leave-out, you eliminate the risk of heat damage and excessive styling on your own hair. This method allows your natural hair to grow and thrive with minimal manipulation.

However, lace sew-ins may require a more meticulous installation process. Attaching the lace closure or frontal properly is crucial to achieving a natural look. This may require the expertise of a professional, or some serious YouTube tutorials if you're a DIY queen. Lace sew-ins also need gentle care and attention to maintain the longevity of the closures or frontals.

So, bestie, what's the tea? Both leave-out sew-ins and lace sew-ins have their own unique advantages and considerations. Leave-out sew-ins offer versatility in styling and a natural appearance, but require regular maintenance and may not blend seamlessly for everyone. Lace sew-ins provide a flawless hairline and protection for your natural hair, but require meticulous installation and maintenance to keep them looking fabulous.

Ultimately, the choice between leave-out sew-ins and lace sew-ins comes down to your personal preferences, desired style, and how much maintenance you're willing to put in. We recommend consulting with a professional hairstylist who can assess your hair and help you make the best decision for you.
