How often should sewn-in weaves be adjusted?

Sewn-in weaves should typically be adjusted every 4 to 6 weeks, based on the rate of hair growth. This timeframe allows for the natural growth of both the client’s hair and the weave itself, preventing any potential tension or stress on the hair and scalp that could lead to breakage or discomfort. Regular adjustments also help to maintain the overall look and feel of the extensions, ensuring they remain secure and visually appealing.

Adjusting weaves too frequently, such as every 2 to 4 weeks, might lead to excessive manipulation of the hair, which can cause damage. Alternatively, waiting too long for an adjustment, such as every 6 to 8 weeks or even just once a year, could result in the weave becoming loose and less secure, leading to potential shedding or an unkempt appearance. Therefore, the 4 to 6 week range strikes a balance between maintaining the integrity of the client’s natural hair while providing a well-kept and polished look for the extensions.
