Hollywood 10 minute sew-in

I wear a lot of my home-made clip-in hair extensions now but long before I started doing my own hair I used to sit for hours at the salon  getting my sew- in done. I would never forget the lengthy routine - the washing of the weave hair, then the washing of my hair and the drying of both. The too-tight cornrows and then the  needle-pulling-thread action to attach the hair extension  meant at least three hours - four if you count cutting , layering and styling and a week of non-stop head tension.
It's for this reason a lot of women choose to glue or clip in extensions rather than get a sew-in done. I continue to be amazed by the creative ways manufacturers are catering to the needs of hair extension wearers. A good example of such is the  Hollywood 10  minute sew-in.
Designed initially for Hollywood celebrities, the 10-minute sew-in  has the look of a  sew-in with the convenience and coverage of a wig. Since the unit does not involve tracks,  it can be washed once it is installed in the hair and wearers would have more access to their own hair.
Much like an ordinary sew-in, the 10 minute sew-in requires wearers to braid their own hair before the unit is attached.  Wefts on this unit are at the front, the top, sides and at back. Your own hair can be left out at the top and blended with the hair extension.
Although it is said that the extensions take 10 minutes to put on, users have said it takes more like 30 minutes. Still, a track by track sew-in takes a lot more time. The unit comes in Malaysian Virgin hair in straight, curly and wavy which are sold by the oz. For the wearer the use of the high end hair  means that it  can be reused.
Soon enough the unit will be available using Malaysian Remy hair. Units featuring non-Malaysian Remy hair will soon hit the market to  make the 10 minute sew-in more accessible to hair-extension wearing women.
