How To Prevent Breakage Caused By Sew-Ins
Moisturize during take-down
When removing your weave, it’s a good idea to lubricate your braids using hair oil. That’s right, you need to moisturize your hair at all times with sew-ins, prior to installation, during installation underneath the sew-in, while taking the weave out, and intensely after your extensions are all out (don’t forget to wash the extensions if you want to use them again). This will help to keep your hair from snapping and breaking as you remove the thread and take out your braids. After your hair has been braided this way for months, you’ll want to be extremely gentle as you take it down.
