Top 5 Questions About Sew-In Hair Extensions – Answered by KIWI Hair Experts
🖋️ Blog Body Content
At KIWI, we hear from hundreds of women every week who are new to sew-in hair extensions or just want to get better results. If you’ve been wondering how to care for your bundles, how many packs you need, or if sew-ins are safe for your hair—this post is for you. Let’s answer your top 5 questions with expert advice from the KIWI team.
1. How Many Bundles Do I Need for a Full Sew-In?
- It depends on the length and volume you want. Here’s a simple guide:
- 10”–16”: 2–3 bundles
- 18”–24”: 3–4 bundles
- 26”–30”: 4–5 bundles
👉 Want a fuller look? Go with an extra bundle. At KIWI, all bundles are 70–100 grams and blend seamlessly from root to tip.
2. Do Sew-In Extensions Damage My Hair?
- Not at all—when installed and removed properly. In fact, sew-ins can be a protective style, especially if you're growing out your natural hair. Our advice:
- Avoid tight braiding that causes tension
- Keep your scalp clean and moisturized
- Never keep sew-ins longer than 6–8 weeks
3. How Long Do KIWI Human Hair Bundles Last?
- Our 100% human hair bundles can last up to a year or longer with good care! That means:
- Use sulfate-free shampoo
- Deep condition regularly
- Air dry whenever possible
- Always wrap your hair before sleeping
💡 Bonus tip: For curly textures like Jerry Curl or Deep Wave, use a spray bottle with water + conditioner to refresh curls daily.
4. Can I Dye or Heat Style KIWI Hair?
Yes—but only if you choose our Natural Color bundles. All Natural Color KIWI bundles are made from 100% unprocessed human hair and can be:
- Colored
- Bleached
- Curled
- Flat ironed
Just remember to always use a heat protectant and perform a strand test before applying any chemical treatments.
👉 Note: Bundles in other shades (like #1B, #27, #30, etc.) are already professionally dyed and not suitable for further bleaching or coloring. Doing so can damage the hair or alter the color unevenly.
💡 Need a color that’s not listed? Choose our Natural Color bundles and dye them to match your unique style!

Here’s what our customers love:

- Straight – sleek, polished, perfect for styling
- Deep Wave or Jerry Curl – bouncy and voluminous for statement looks
