Tips For Doing A Brazilian Remy Hair Beaded Sew-In Weave

By Antoinette Quinn


Many hairstylists would like to make available sew-in weave services to their clients but do not possess the knowledge or skill to do so. Most of the time the hairstylist knows how to sew but does not know how to do cornrows. Cornrows are the base to which the extensions are sewn to. There are other situations where the hairstylist may want to offer his or her customers a weave that lays much more flatter than what may be achieved with a cornrowed base. One way to accomplish both of these issues is to do a Brazilian Remy hair weave by using beads as a base.

Buy the beads. The beads need are the type that can be clamped together with a pair of pliers. Go to a beauty supply shop and ask a sales associate to show you the beads that are needed to do micro beads or micro links. Make an effort to match the micro beads to the natural color of the locks you are sewing the extensions to. Decorative beads or pony beads that are commonly found in craft stores will generally not work for this hairstyle.

Purchase additional weaving materials. In addition to beads, a small latch hook, a pair of pliers, scissors, a weaving needle and thread is also needed. Purchase the needle and thread at a beauty supply store. A pair of clampers is also needed to remove the beads.

Remy hair extensions are distinguished from human hair extensions in that the cuticle remains. The extensions can be curled, flat-ironed or blow-dried. Another advantage of Remy weave is that it can be used for several other extension services. Remy extensions are relatively expensive so a wise decision should be made before purchasing them. Remember, that extension weave cannot be returned or exchanged after a purchase has been made.

Watch demos online. Using beads as a base for a sew in is rather easy to learn. Go online to search for various amateur videos. Practice on a mannequin or the head of a doll. Once the procedures for attaching the beads has been mastered, sewing the extensions is the same as sewing them to cornrows.

Offer discounts. A great way to get experience on live heads is to give discounts. Tell current clients, family and friend that you are learning a new technique. Ascertain if they would like to have the service done at a discount price. Offer a guarantee in case that they are not fully satisfied with the end result.

Get testimonials. Ask people that get the beaded service done if they would be willing to write a small testimonial. These blurbs can be placed on a website to show other potential clients proof of your skill and satisfied clients.

Offer extension removal services. Removing a Brazilian Remy hair weave involves taking out the beads and the extensions. To prevent any further damage to the natural locks, encourage customers to allow you to remove the weave. As an incentive, offer a discount on removal service.
