Curly Hair Extensions for longer locks
Do you want to be one of the ladies with long,
flowing tresses that are often admired? Or do you just want a fuller, sexy curly
hairdo?
If so, then you should consider the option of
getting curly hair extensions. Not everyone with long curly locks grew it naturally. The
secret to most of the stars and celebrities' long locks is human hair extensions. The beauty
of extensions is that every woman can easily and affordably change the length of their hair
by adding curly hair extensions anytime they wish.
There are
various types of curly hair extensions available on the market:
Natural/Human hair
extensions: Majority of these
come from India and China. Some of the curly hair extensions come naturally curled or you can
buy the straight human hair and have them curled by your stylist. These are the best types of
hair to get if you want that natural texture and authentic look. They are more versatile and can
be treated just like you would with your natural hair. The styles vary from large body waves to
tight afro curls.
Synthetic hair extensions: Some of them look fairly natural, but not as good and manageable as human
hair. The quality varies - the more natural looking ones are expensive. Synthetic hair
extensions tend to tangle easily and frizz out. However depending on the quality, they can
look very good if maintained well. They are great choice if you'd just want to add few pieces
of highlights for a short period of time without spending a lot of money on human hair
extensions. These are the type of extensions that are Hugely used for braiding. Try to avoid
using curling irons or straightening combs on them.
The process of applying curly hair extensions are many - here are a
few:
Weaving process- is one of the most popular methods
that is used. It is the process in which the natural hair is first braided in cornrows, creating
what is called tracks. Then the extensions are sewn on the braids
(tracks).
Bonding process- is simple and a
fast process. Glue is applied to the weft of the extensions which is then glued to the roots
of your hair. When this process is used, the extensions should not be left for a long period
of time as it tends to damage your natural hair.
Fusion or Hot glue gun process- this is probably one of the
most costly and time consuming method of adding extensions. The end result can be unbelievably
natural looking, as the extensions are directly attached to the individual strands of your own
hair. Seek
the advice of a qualified, professional hair stylist to use this
method.
Clipping In/On
- This is one of the easiest and affordable
methods of adding extensions. The hair already come pre cut and have snap clips sewn to the wefts
of the commercial hair. They can be put on and off within minutes. You can easily enhance your hair
for any occasion within a short period of time from the comfort of your home. It is recommended
that you remove them before sleeping. These come as both human and synthetic hair
extensions.
