Bob Sew-In Options
Let’s say you’ve always wanted a stylish bob. Now you can have it. To decide on the style, you want to consider which of the following options you prefer:
- Centre-parted or side-parted?
- Asymmetrical or blunt and one Length?
- With bangs or without?
- Straight, body wave or loose wave?
What Types of Hair Works Best for Sew-in Bobs?
The most popular picks for bobs are Outre Purple Pack and Saga Remy.
How Much Hair for a Bob?
2-3 bundles of 12 or 14″ hair for a full look that you’ll have cut in the length and style you prefer. Some use just 1,5 bundles of 10″ hair, but more bundles and longer hair means you won’t have thin ends.
Concerns You May Have About Weaves
The greatest concern you may have is that your sew-in will look wiggy, unnatural, lumpy… Another one is associated with potential damage to your natural hair.
Speaking of a natural-looking weave, of course everyone understands you need to go to a licensed stylist, however, even if you do so, that is no guarantee you’ll get the result you want. The best idea we suggest is to hire someone whose work you’ve seen (better in real life) and really liked.
As long as your sew-in isn’t installed too tight and you take care of your natural hair that’s under the weave, you don’t have to worry about damage. Condition the hair underneath regularly and apply only styling mousse and shine booster to the extensions. The optimal period to wear your weave for the first time is one month. With your next weave you may go longer, 5 weeks at least.
Perfecting The Sew In Bob
You should never make a mistake of thinking that the bob is solely strict and stringent. Oh no, there are plenty of ways to wear it, and so it really is worth experimenting. Before you begin, please, browse some of our inspirational pictures. We’re certain that you’ll find something that just screams ‘you’.
