A Sew-In with Leave Out is a protective, natural-looking hairstyle where extensions are sewn onto braided hair, leaving a small portion of your real hair “out” to blend perfectly with the added hair.
At Beauty by Style & Smile, our sew-ins are expertly installed to give you a flawless, full-bodied, and realistic look that feels just like your own hair!

Detailed Steps:

• First, your natural hair is braided down in a flat, secure pattern, leaving a carefully chosen section (the “leave out”) unbraided at the top or sides.
• Hair wefts (extensions) are then sewn onto the braids using a needle and thread.
• The leave-out hair is then blended carefully with the extensions — either straightened, curled, or styled — to create a seamless finish where no tracks are visible.
• The result is a natural, free-flowing hairstyle that allows you to style your leave-out however you like, while keeping most of your real hair protected underneath.

Look and Feel:

• Natural and Seamless – almost impossible to tell it’s a weave.
• Flexible Styling – you can part your hair, curl it, or flat iron it just like your real hair.
• Protective – reduces daily manipulation on most of your natural hair, promoting growth.

Best For:

• Clients who want a versatile, real-hair look without fully committing to wigs or full sew-ins.
• Perfect for those looking to add volume, length, or fullness while still showing off some of their natural hair.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regular heat protection and moisturizing the leave-out hair are important to keep it healthy and prevent breakage.
• Wrapping or covering your hair at night helps preserve the style and blend.

✅ Special Note:
You can choose different textures (straight, body wave, curly) so that your leave-out matches perfectly for a flawless result.
