Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Netting (if you need a net add this to your service).

Netting is recommended when braids are uneven, short, or you want a flatter foundation. Add the net to your sew-in service to improve longevity, reduce bulk, and create a smoother base for sewing extensions.

Applying a net typically adds 15–30 minutes to your appointment, depending on braid size and scalp prep. Technicians ensure the net sits smoothly and is trimmed to fit, so allow a bit of extra time when booking your sew-in service.

A properly applied net is virtually undetectable and actually improves the finished look by creating a flatter, more natural foundation. You may notice slightly reduced bulk, but overall comfort and appearance are enhanced when compared to sewing directly onto loose braids.

Yes — nets are versatile and can be adapted to most braid sizes and patterns. Your technician will choose the appropriate mesh density and placement to accommodate thick or thin braids while ensuring the net lays flat and supports the sew-in securely.

Treat it like a regular sew-in: gently cleanse the scalp, avoid heavy oils on the net, and protect at night with a silk scarf. Schedule maintenance appointments to check the net and adjust tracks for long-lasting results.

No — removal is typically straightforward. Technicians carefully lift stitching and remove the net without disturbing natural braids. Because the net protects the braids, it can actually make removal gentler and reduce breakage when performed by a professional.
