#23: Blonde Ombre Sew-In Hairstyle
A blonde ombre is a great way to lighten your black girl hairstyle. Opt for it on a layered, asymmetrical, neck-length bob cut like this one by master cosmetologist Lady Butterfly of Georgia.
This is a razor-cut bob using a straight razor and guard. It can be achieved with a bond-in (glue) or sew-in (needle and thread) service. It’s low maintenance and easy to manage.
She explains, “If you leave your natural hair within the style, the maintenance level rises to medium. Use a heat protectant when trying to maintain the blending of the hair with extensions. I would not recommend flat ironing the natural hair daily when trying to achieve a freshly curled or straightened look. This will cause damage and breakage. Instead, try wrapping the hair at night to help with the natural heat from the head to keep your hair straighter and longer.”
After two weeks, Lady Butterfly recommends a maintenance service to have the closure shampooed and reinstalled to look like a fresh new style without paying for a full service all over again.
A sew-in bob is a type of weave hairstyle for women with natural hair that ranges from neck to shoulder length. This technique creates super-sleek looks that let your natural hair breathe!
Sew-ins are a top alternative for glued-in or full-lace weaves. A sew-in bob can last long and help your hair grow without damage. That’s why you always see Taraji P. Henson and Zoe Kravitz donning their lustrous sew-in bobs on the carpet!
Work with someone with top skills in sewing and cutting, like Ciara Coleman from Detroit, MI! Her number one rule for this look is the length of the bob cannot be shorter than the natural leave out. “If your hair is long and you want short extensions, I recommend utilizing a lace closure. This also works on curly hair if you want straight extensions,” she says.
Consider buying quality hair products to maintain your bob that’s sewed-in. Coleman tells us the product that every woman with a bob sew-in needs is a holding spray! Holding spray maintains the style’s shape, texture, and body. Also, it helps to combat oiliness once the installation ages.
Before getting a bob with a sew-in, Coleman recommends giving your hair extra TLC. She explains, “You’re about to have your natural hair all tucked away for 4-8 weeks. Get a nice scalp detox and a hydrating steam treatment with your favorite masque. Then, trim those ends, and you’ll be good to go.”
