Curly Hair Extensions
If you’ve been blessed with curly hair then you’re more than aware that styling your curls can be quite a mission.
Curly hair extensions may be woven, bonded or sewn onto clips. They create a totally different styling look whenever it’s needed. The extensions in the hair extensions London are available in a range of different lengths to offer maximum versatility and styling options. Colors available range from the brightest of blondes right through to deep black shades, suiting all skin tones and coloring. Highlighted or color streaked extensions give additional depth and movement within the hair and offer alternative fashion choices whether for short and sassy curls or luxurious waves that fall to the waist.
Finding your perfect shade is the first step to seamlessly blending curly hair extensions with your curls. Some of you may find that your curls have more than one shade in them. If this is the case then hair extensions London suggests you go with the most prominent color in your hair. You can also mix things up by combining two different shades for a multi-tonal look. This will create a more natural blend for those of you with a bit of highlight.
Before you start styling your extensions you need to identify the type of curls you have. Are they wavy? Spiral? Kinky? Ideally, for choosing your curly hair extensions, you will need to mimic your natural curl pattern and this can only be done once you know which type of curls you have.
When having a tough time trying to blend your shorter hair with your new extensions, then tries loosely curling the hair together. Also, remember to spray your extensions using a heat protecting before any heat styling.
Air drying curly hair extensions
This is the easiest technique to try and is perfect for those of you who don’t have time to style your extensions.
Start off by dampening your hair in a basin of water.
You can apply the same styling products you’d apply to your natural curls on your wefts.

We know that no one curl is the same but, trust us in the hair extensions London, we’re going to share foolproof way to blend your curly hair extensions with your curls as best as possible!
Braiding Your Wefts
Start off by dampening your braids. This can be done by dipping your braids in a basin of water or using a spray bottle. The next thing you need to do is to create simple three strand braids on each weft. If you have tight curls then, smaller braids will work best for you. If you have loose wavy curls, then bigger braids will work better with your natural hair. The best way to ensure a more realistic blend would be to combine small tight braids with a few bigger braids. We advise that you leave your braided wefts to set overnight – this will help the curls hold for longer. Once your braids have dried, untie them one by one with a comb or your fingers. This technique will leave you with beautifully textured waves and it’s also a heat friendly alternative to have a curly hair extensions!
Curling Your Extensions
If braiding your extensions doesn’t give you the curly hair extensions you’re after, then your next best option would be to curl your extensions:
Before whipping out your tongs, remember to apply a heat protector to each of your wefts to ensure that they don’t get damaged.
Start by wrapping small sections of hair around the curling tongs for no longer than 30 seconds. Do this with all of your wefts.
Remember that bigger curls will create a wavy effect while smaller curls will create tighter coils.
Once you’ve curled all the hair, rake your fingers through the wefts. This will loosen the curls and create a more natural effect. You can do this as much as you like until you’re happy with the results
