The braid pattern beneath your sew in closure plays a huge role in achieving a sleek, natural-looking finish. For the smoothest and flattest install, a beehive braid pattern is often the top choice. This circular braiding method creates an even, dome-like base that allows the closure to sit seamlessly against the scalp, eliminating visible bumps or gaps. It’s especially ideal for full sew ins where none of your natural hair is left out.
Alternatively, for those blending a closure with leave-out, straight-back cornrows with smaller, tighter braids around the crown can work beautifully. This ensures a secure anchor for the closure while maintaining a flat foundation throughout the install. The key is uniform tension — braids that are too loose create bulk, while overly tight braids may cause discomfort and stress on the scalp.
Before sewing down your sew in closure, make sure your braids are moisturized and fully dry to prevent frizz or mildew under the weave. Use a mesh cap if you want extra flatness and protection for your natural hair. With the right braid pattern and technique, you’ll achieve that flawless, salon-smooth look — and with 30% off during the Black Friday Sale, now’s the perfect time to refresh your closure game.
