Here are some key features of Half Sew In/Half Braids:

  1. Versatility: There are a variety of add-on's that can be included with half sew In/half braids. Here are some options I offer
    • Boho: Addition of curly hair extensions to the braided section to achieve a carefree, bohemian, or beachy look.
    • Hot water curls: Use of curl rods and hot water to create curls at the end of the braids.
    • Beads: Addition of beads, and securing them by using rubber bands at the end of the braids.
  2. Low Maintenance: Once installed, the half sew-in/half braids style requires minimal maintenance. The braids need regular oiling and care to keep the scalp moisturized, while the sew-in section requires standard care, like gentle combing, washing, and conditioning.
  3. Protective Styling: Like other protective styles, a half sew-in/half braids style protects the natural hair by tucking it away, reducing exposure to heat, styling tools, and environmental damage. The braids provide protection for the hair at the front or sides, while the sew-in covers and protects the back or other sections.
  4. Durability: This style can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the quality of the installation and how well it's maintained. The braided portion tends to stay neat longer, while the sew-in section may require more upkeep like restyling or touch-ups.

In summary, the half sew-in/half braids hairstyle is a stylish and versatile combination of braids and a sew-in weave. It allows for creativity, offers protective benefits, and provides a blend of textures that can be customized to suit individual preferences. The style is low-maintenance, long-lasting, and perfect for adding length and volume while protecting natural hair.
