The experts' best tips for extensions in curly hair

"I have curls - can I wear extensions?"

Yes! Of course you can. But just as your curls need slightly different care and styling than straight hair, the same applies when you want extensions in curly hair.

We've gathered our best tips and advice for you if you want extensions in curly hair – getting exactly the natural look you're dreaming of really doesn't have to be that hard.

What should you choose: Hair extensions with curls or straight hair?

It might seem like the obvious choice to pick extensions that are already curly when you have curly hair, right?

It just isn't.

Here's why we recommend choosing extensions with straight hair, even if you have curly hair:

  • The quality is typically significantly better - creating permanent curls wears on the hair, which affects its durability.
  • No two curls are alike, so your curly hair extensions risk being a poor match for your own curls – leaving you with an unnatural look you can't really style your way out of.
  • With a straight starting point, you can style your extensions into curls that match exactly your own curls. You can do it yourself with a straightener or curling iron, or have it permed at a hairdresser.
  • If you want the option of wearing your hair straight, your extensions are much easier to style if they don't have permanent curls

But remember: It's important to choose your extensions in a good hair quality if you want hair extensions with curls, so they can actually withstand heat styling. If you can't be bothered styling your extensions yourself, a hairdresser can help you create permanent curls – but here it's important to choose our Luxury hair quality. That way you know the hair can handle the treatment and stays healthy and gorgeous.

Style your curly clip on extensions before putting them in your hair

If you want to wear ready to wear hair extensions such as clip in extensions, it's actually easiest to style them before putting them in your own hair.

You can absolutely style them with curls while they're in your hair too – you just get a bit more control over the styling if you style both your own hair and your extensions before putting them in.

And remember the heat protection when heat styling – both in your own hair and in your hair extensions.

How to make your hair extensions hold curls for longer

You can create the popular overnight curls in your curly hair extensions, or use heat styling with a straightener or curling iron. Ultimately, it comes down to what you're most comfortable with.

Whichever method you choose, here are a few tips to help ensure a lasting result:

  • Always use heat protection (with a light hold for better fixation) when styling your hair with high heat.
  • Let the curls cool before brushing the hair through - they'll hold their curl better for longer.
  • Look after your curls while you sleep. Put your hair in a loose ponytail when you sleep. It protects both your extensions and your curls.

Curls or not – there are definitely perfect hair extensions out there for you.

Incredibly skilled and service-minded staff with customer satisfaction at the centre of it all! I was trying extensions with the braid method for the first time, and was recommended wefts in Original quality. It is considerably cheaper than the Luxury hair, but for them it was not about their earnings. It was about making sure that I, as a first-time user of the braid method, would not end up regretting spending money on an expensive product if extensions turned out not to be for me.
