All About Flip Over Sew-Ins
Knowing that the flip over sew-in is so on trend right now, we want to make sure you’re educated on the benefits, dos and don’ts of this ever so chic hairstyle. Let’s start with the basic on what exactly a flip over sew-in is.
What is a flip over sew-in?
A flip over sew-in is also referred to as a “no part” sew-in and refers to a hair weaving technique that involves braiding most of your natural hair down, leaving out a small portion of your hairline and edges, also referred to as your perimeter. A flip over sew-in allows you to style your hair in multiple seamless hairstyles, including top knots and flipped to either side.
How do you install a flip over sew-in?
Installing a flip over sew-in is very similar to installing a traditional sew-in. The biggest difference between the installation process is the way the braiding foundation is, and the amount of extra hair left out around the perimeter to achieve the flip over method. When getting a flip over sew-in, we always recommend consulting a licensed cosmetologist to ensure your natural hair is protected and you get the most professional install with your luxury Yummy extensions.
Benefits of a flip over sew-in:
If you’re considering a flip over sew-in for your next hairstyle, know that there are several pros to this look. A few of the benefits include:

- The ability to wear your luxury tresses in their natural state or pressed out
- The seamless blend of your natural hair with your luxury tresses

- The flip over sew-in is tension free on your natural hair and hairline
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for a flip over sew-in?
When trying to decide if you’re a good candidate for the flip over sew-in, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- The perimeter of your hair should be thick and full
