Short answer: Curly, wavy and coily hair can wear extensions that blend perfectly when the extension texture matches your natural pattern. Light wefts, careful placement and a moisture-focused routine keep them comfortable and natural on wash-and-go days and straightened days.

Care for curly extensions

  • Detangle with fingers or a wide-tooth comb while conditioner is in.
  • Dry the rows fully; diffuse the rest.
  • Refresh curls with water and leave-in.
  • Move-ups about every 6 weeks.
