Sew-in w/ Leave Out $120+ (3 hours)

A "sew-in with a leave-out" refers to a protective hairstyle where hair extensions are sewn into the base braids of the natural hair, but a section (the "leave-out") is left free from the sewn-in hair to allow for a natural part or styling. This leave-out section typically covers the areas where you want to create a part, or where you want to leave your natural hair free to style.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
What it is:
Sew-in:
This involves braiding the natural hair into a base pattern, then sewing in hair extensions to this base for a protective style.
Leave-Out:
A section of the natural hair is purposefully left out of the braiding process, allowing it to be styled freely without being sewn in.

Benefits:
Protection:
It helps to protect the natural hair from heat and tension by keeping it away from the extensions.
Flexibility:
The leave-out allows for styling and parting variations that wouldn't be possible with a full sew-in.
Versatility:
You can create different looks by styling the leave-out hair in various ways, like a middle part or side part.

How it works:
1. Braiding:
Your hair is braided into a base pattern, often using a pattern like a zig-zag, straight-back, or 4-way vixen to allow for different parting options.
2. Leave-Out:
A specific area, usually at the front or sides, is left free from braiding, so it remains unattached to the extensions.
3. Sew-in:
The hair extensions are sewn into the base braids, creating the sew-in effect.

Considerations:
Maintenance:
Regular maintenance is important to ensure the health of the natural hair and the longevity of the sew-in.
Tension:
Excessive tension on the scalp can lead to damage, so it's important to avoid overly tight braids or sew-in techniques.
Styling:
The leave-out allows for a variety of styling options, but it's important to ensure that the extensions are blended well with the leave-out hair.
