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. In this way, they look a lot more natural than any other weave or wig available on the market.
This idea brings us to the second question. Why sew in hairstyles? Because they are easy, look almost natural, are very easy to maintain, and are extremely versatile. With that in mind, we have compiled for you a list of 40 sew in hairstyles which will inspire and amaze you.
1. Raspberry Curly Sew In Hairstyles
Let’ start off with a classic weave. The hair has been parted to one side and curled into perfection. We absolutely love the delicious raspberry color. And, on the plus side, you can’t even see that it’s a sew in.
2. The Curly Bob Sew In Hairstyles
Here is the short version of what we detailed above, only, this time, you get to see it in striking brunette. The only visible mark of the sew in here are the little strands of hair which you can see plastered to the model’s forehead.

The quickest way to goddess hair is via sew in, of course. Protect you natural hair and hide it under this beautiful mane of artificial tresses which will definitely make you look like the queen of the night.
4. Blonde Sew In Hairstyles

We are in love with this strawberry blonde meets young chestnut shade of brown, all in a medium length cut, for which hair rollers have been used to get these wonderful low curls. Try it!

33. The Upside down Ombre
We called this hairstyle the upside down ombre for obvious reasons. Instead of the spot of color being down at the bottom, you can see it at the roots, spilling nicely all over the length of the hair, like chocolate over vanilla ice cream on a hot, summer day.
34. Tangerine Sew in Hairstyles
