Before you start changing your lace sew-in weave, it's important to prepare your natural hair. Wash and condition your hair, then blow it out or flat iron it to straighten it. This will make it easier to work with when you're sewing in the new weave.

Step 2: Section your hair

Once your hair is prepared, you need to section it into small, even rows. Start by parting your hair down the middle, then create a horizontal part about 2 inches from your hairline. Continue creating horizontal parts until you've reached the back of your head. The size of the sections will depend on the width of your weave.

Step 3: Sew in the new weave

Now it's time to sew in the new weave. Start by threading the weaving needle with the weaving thread. Then, take a small section of your natural hair and thread it through the needle. Pull the needle through the hole in the lace weave, then tie a knot to secure it. Repeat this process all the way around your head, making sure to keep the weave close to your scalp.

Step 4: Style your weave

Once the weave is sewn in, it's time to style it. You can style the weave any way you like, but here are a few tips:

• Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle the weave.
• Apply a leave-in conditioner to the weave to keep it hydrated.
• Use hairspray to hold the weave in place.

Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble changing your lace sew-in weave, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

• The weave is too tight or too loose. If the weave is too tight, it can pull on your scalp and cause discomfort. If the weave is too loose, it can slip out of place. To adjust the tightness of the weave, simply sew it in tighter or looser.
• The weave is not blending with my natural hair. If the weave is not blending with your natural hair, it can look unnatural. To blend the weave, try using a root touch-up spray or a hairpiece that matches your natural hair color.
• The weave is shedding. If the weave is shedding, it can be a sign that the hair is damaged or the weave is not properly sewn in. To prevent shedding, make sure to use a leave-in conditioner and hairspray to keep the weave hydrated and in place.

Changing a lace sew-in weave can be a bit challenging, but it's definitely possible to do it yourself with a little practice. By following the step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting tips in this guide, you can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking lace sew-in weave that will last for weeks.
