Glue-in vs. Sew-in

Which do you prefer? Change it up all the time or make it last for awhile? It is totally up to you if you prefer a glue-in versus a sew-in; they both have advantages and disadvantages. How we put together a quick list for your reference when making the choice…

Glue-in weaves...

1. Flatter results after installation.
2. Take less time.
3. Budget friendly.
4. Hard maintenance natural hair while wearing a glue-in.
5. Don’t apply too much oil. This will loosen installation.
6. Glue may cause damage hair and scalp. Please research what products are being used during installation also make sure you are not allergic to any of the products.

Sew-in weaves...

1. Can be costly.
2. Longevity (Last longer).
3. Time consuming. Plan to take about 2 – 4 hours of your day for installation and styling.
4. Easier to maintain routine maintenance of your natural and extension hair.
5. Causes less damage or hair and scalp related issues if installed and maintained properly.

So the choice is yours but always remember to consultant with a licensed-stylist before making a choice on the best application.

STYLIST SPOTLIGHT: Sarah Pennington

I Heart Hair loves to showcase other talented men and women in the fashion/beauty industry who are making huge moves. Check out our featured stylist and some of the things she HEARTS!

Name: Sarah Pennington - Eyelash Extension Specialist

What all do you do?: I have been a makeup artist for many years, but specialize in eyelash extensions.  Eyelash extensions are semi permanent synthetic eyelashes that are applied to one natural eyelash at a time.  There are several different lengths, volumes, and curl options available that are mixed together to create a custom eyelash look for each client.

How long have you been in the beauty/fashion industry?: Well, I started my first job with Clinique in 1994!  I have been doing makeup ever since, working for lines such as Laura Mercier and Chantecaille.  I do special occasion and wedding makeup primarily now.  As for eyelash extensions, I trained for the service in September of 2008 and have been doing them ever since.

What is your hair regimen?: I am pretty low maintenance when it comes to my fine, wavy/curly hair.  I shampoo every 2-3 days, and use whatever curl product I happen to have in my closet, and blow dry with my Remington Airwave hair dryer, that has a special attachment to actually twirl my locks as they dry.  I find it helps to keep my waves from getting frizzy and out of control.  I do love to wear my Remy hair clip in extensions that I made myself, to give me extra volume.

What are some of your favorite products?: I love Bobbi Brown concealers, Laura Mercier foundations, my Clairisonic face cleaner, COTZ sunscreen, Fresh Twilight Glow facial illuminator, NARS Albatross highlighting.

What Do You Heart?: Black tea, snorkeling, great fitting jeans, Nest Moroccan Amber candle, a nice Scotch, Tokyo, fresh flowers, dark chocolate, super finds on craigslist and antique stores, and experiencing new cultures through traveling.
