How to take care of your leave-out sew-in installation - Hikky's Hair

You just had your leave-out installation done and you’re not sure how to take care of it? We’ve got you! Here are some essential tips and tricks for maintaining your leave-out installation like a pro. 

Gentle Cleansing is Key:

  • Start by using a sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse your scalp and roots gently. Avoid scrubbing vigorously to prevent loosening the weave or causing unnecessary tension on your natural hair.

Hydration, Hydration, Hydration:

  • Moisture is your best friend when it comes to maintaining a sew-in leave-out. Invest in a lightweight leave-in conditioner or moisturizing spray to keep your hair and scalp hydrated between washes. Focus on the leave-out area to prevent dryness and breakage.

Mindful Styling Practices:

  • When styling your leave-out, opt for heat-free methods whenever possible to minimize damage. If using heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from heat damage. Be gentle when detangling and styling to avoid unnecessary stress on your natural hair.

Nighttime Protection:

  • Invest in a satin or silk scarf or pillowcase to protect your hair while you sleep. This helps reduce friction and prevents tangling, preserving the longevity of your leave-out installation.
