50 Mesmerizing Sew In Hairstyles for Women in 2023

Weaves, extensions, and sew in hairstyles, in general, can be a smart and stylish step in your natural hair growth process. To put it in a nutshell, a sew-in haircut allows you to cover your hair as it grows naturally. As opposed to some weaves that use glue, these are sewn into your natural hair, causing less damage.

Embrace your natural hair transition and express your personality with any of these chic sew-in hairstyles!
