5. Straightened Protective Sew-In

For those who want a straight look without applying heat to their natural hair, a high-quality sew-in or wig is a brilliant option. When installed correctly, a straight sew-in looks incredibly natural and provides a long-lasting, versatile style that requires very little daily maintenance.

How to Make

Ensure your natural hair is braided down into a flat, secure base. Have your bundles sewn in with a leave-out or a closure piece that matches your natural hairline. Once installed, use a flat iron to blend your natural hair with the extensions for a seamless finish. This style allows you to experiment with different lengths and colors while giving your natural hair a much-needed break from manipulation and heat.

Things Needed

  • High-quality straight hair bundles
