Imagine having the natural appearance of a sew-in with the option to change the style whichever way you’d like. That is the lure of the flip over sew-in that has become super popular this year. We’re sharing all you need to know about this trendy hairstyle. Keep reading to learn more about flip over sew-ins- the Hair And Silk way!
What is a flip over sew-in?
A flip over sew-in, also known as the flip over method, is a weaving technique in which the hair is installed in a precise way to ensure the client is able to flip the hair from one side to the other. This creates a look that is effortless and voluminous. The flexibility of this install is ideal for people who like to switch up their look and don’t need a defined part.
How is a flip over sew-in installed?
Installing a flip over sew-in is similar to that of a traditional sew-in. The main difference is while a traditional sew-in consists of cornrows with no leave-out, flip over sew-ins often have leave out around the hairline. How much leave out depends on the hairstylist’s technique or the client’s preference. The wefts of the hair are then sewn onto the cornrows in a way that allows the extensions to be flipped from side to side. The leave out is then blended with the extensions. Hair and Silk recommends booking with a professional to ensure this style is installed properly and your natural hair is protected.
Advantages of a flip over sew-in
- Bouncy hair: The method in which the wefts are installed allows movement which creates more volume in the hair. This natural looking bounce makes the hair look fuller and thicker.
- Versatile Styling: This style is perfect for clients who want the option to wear their hair differently each day. One day, they could do a middle part, and the next day, a deep side part. The options are truly endless.
- Easy to Maintain: This style requires little to no maintenance. It’s a great option for clients who prefer not to fuss with their hair every day.
- Reduces Tension on Hair: The weaving technique prevents your natural hair from experiencing the tension often experienced with traditional sew-ins. Be sure to care for your natural hair if you have leave out.
