Do Sew In Extensions Damage Your Hair? Discover the Non-Damaging Glamour Locks Hair Extension System
Introduction
If you’ve ever wondered, “Do sew-in extensions damage your hair?”—the answer depends entirely on the method used. Traditional sew-ins, tape-ins, keratin bonds, and glued wefts all carry risks of breakage, tension, and long-term damage to your natural hair. But there’s one system that changes everything: the Glamour Locks Hair Extension System — the only patented, non-damaging, tension-free sew-in method designed to protect your natural hair while delivering stunning, long-lasting results.
Let’s explore what makes Glamour Locks different and why traditional methods often lead to damage.
Why Most Hair Extension Methods Cause Damage
Tape-In Hair Extensions
Tape-ins are one of the most common types of hair extensions, but they’re also notorious for causing long-term damage. The adhesive used can weaken over time, leading to slippage and breakage. Even worse, the removal process often involves harsh solvents that can strip and dry out natural hair. Over multiple applications, this cycle of taping, gluing, and retaping can cause thinning and patchy areas near the scalp.
Keratin Bonds and Fusion Extensions
Keratin bond extensions are applied using heat or ultrasonic waves to fuse each strand to your natural hair. While the results may look sleek initially, the bonds put concentrated tension on individual strands. Over time, this leads to traction alopecia (hair loss caused by tension), breakage, and scalp sensitivity. Once removed, many clients notice that their hair feels thinner and more fragile than before.
Braid-and-Sew Weft Extensions
Traditional sew-in wefts (sometimes called braid-and-sew) start with tight braids across the scalp, onto which wefts are sewn. This method can create extreme tension, especially around the edges, leading to breakage and hair loss. The braids also restrict airflow and proper cleansing, often resulting in dryness and tangling at the roots.
Meet Glamour Locks — The Only Non-Damaging Sew-In Hair Extension System
The Glamour Locks Hair Extension System was created to eliminate every source of damage caused by traditional extensions. Unlike braid-and-sew or glued methods, Glamour Locks uses a patented tension strap that evenly distributes the weight of the extensions across the scalp. This ensures no pulling, no adhesives, and no heat — just secure, comfortable, natural-looking extensions that protect your real hair.
How It Works
Each Glamour Locks weft is attached using our innovative micro-beaded tension strap system. This creates a flexible, breathable foundation that moves naturally with your hair — without tight braids or glue. The result is a seamless, customizable look that keeps your natural hair healthy and free to grow.
Safe for All Hair Types
Whether you have fine, curly, thick, or color-treated hair, Glamour Locks is designed to work safely on all textures. Our certified stylists carefully match the weight, color, and placement to ensure your scalp remains stress-free and your extensions feel virtually weightless.
Why Glamour Locks Is the Healthiest Option for Your Hair
No Glue, No Tape, No Heat
Unlike tape-ins or keratin bonds, the Glamour Locks system uses no adhesives or heat, which are major causes of hair thinning and breakage. You’ll never experience sticky residue, product buildup, or chemical damage.
Tension-Free Design Prevents Breakage
The patented strap system keeps tension evenly distributed, eliminating the strain that causes traditional sew-ins to pull or snap fragile strands. It’s the only method proven to prevent traction alopecia and maintain scalp integrity.
Promotes Natural Hair Growth
Because your natural hair remains undisturbed and well-supported, you’ll often notice improved growth and strength over time. Many clients report their hair feeling thicker and healthier after repeated Glamour Locks installations.
