Sew In Bob Hairstyles
The bob is one of the most popular and classic hairstyles around. The bob looks great on all hair types and you can create this style on your natural hair or with the help of extensions. A sew-in bob is a great option for those who like the style but don’t want to commit to the look long-term. Getting a sew-in bob also gives you the most styling versatility when it comes to color, texture, and length. Sew-in bobs give you the freedom to switch up your look while giving your natural hair a break from daily styling. Here’s all you need to know before getting a sew-in bob, plus 25 great sew in bob styles.
1Pre Installation Sew In Bob
Before getting any sew-in style, be sure to wash and deep condition your hair. You want to make sure you start on clean, moisturized hair so that you can make the style last as long as possible. If you haven’t clarified your hair in a while, now is a good time to do so. After deep conditioning, follow up with a hydrating leave-in conditioner; you can also do the LOC or LCO method for maximum moisture retention. You can also oil your scalp with a light oil like jojoba oil. Be careful not to go overboard with the products though, as it can cause product build-up.
2Getting A Sew In Bob
The installation process for a sew-in bob isn’t much different from other sew-in styles – the extensions are just short. Generally, a stylist will install the hair and then trim it into a bob that best frames your face. But you can also start with shorter bundles that are already the right length for a bob. Before installation, your hair will be cornrowed into a specific braid pattern, then covered with a mesh cap. The addition of the mesh cap is optional, but it is recommended because it provides more protection and puts less stress on your natural hair.
3Choosing The Best Weave For A Bob Sew In
Choosing the right hair is an essential part of getting a sew-in bob. With all the options available, it can be difficult to know which type of hair is best. Ultimately, it comes down to the look you’re going for. For example, if you’re going for a natural look, you want to choose hair that is similar to your natural texture. However, if that’s not a factor, you have much more flexibility. Human hair extensions will always look more natural, have better movement, and last longer than synthetic hair. Brazilian hair extensions are really popular because they come in multiple textures that are easy to straighten and curl using a curling iron, giving you lots of styling versatility. If you plan to have a leave-out, choose the hair texture wisely; you want a texture that will be easy to blend with your natural hair without having to use excessive heat to get the job done.
