Sew-in hair extensions typically last between 6 to 8 weeks, depending on factors like your natural hair growth, hair texture, and how well you care for them.
Here's a breakdown:
- Standard Wear Time: 6 to 8 weeks
After this period, the extensions should be professionally removed and either reinstalled or replaced to avoid scalp tension or matting. - With Proper Maintenance: Up to 10 weeks
If you maintain them carefully—regular washing, moisturizing the scalp, and avoiding product buildup—they can stretch to about 10 weeks, though this is the upper limit. - Hair Reuse:
If you're using high-quality 100% human hair, such as Remy hair, the wefts themselves can be reused multiple times (up to a year) with proper care and reinstallation.
