What are sew in hairstyles and why should you use them? Both answers are very simple. Sew in hair pieces are a type of weave which gets sewn onto your natural hair once it has been braided into cornrows. They look more natural than any other weave or wig available. You should use them because they are easy to maintain, and are extremely versatile. With that in mind, we have compiled for you a list of 45 sew in hairstyles which will inspire and amaze you.
