What is the difference between a full sew-in and a partial sew-in weave?

The distinction between a full sew-in and a partial sew-in weave lies primarily in how much of the natural hair is incorporated into the hairstyle. A full sew-in entails completely covering the head with extensions, which provides a uniform look without any of the natural hair being visible. This technique is often chosen for a more dramatic change in style, added volume, or length.

In contrast, a partial sew-in allows some natural hair to remain exposed, typically around the edges or the crown of the head. This method can create a more blended and natural appearance, as the natural hair seamlessly integrates with the extensions. This option is often preferred by individuals who desire a less drastic change while still enjoying the benefits of added length or volume from the weaves.

Understanding this primary difference helps clients choose the most appropriate method based on their desired look and the amount of maintenance they are willing to undertake.
