Kinky Curly Textured Clip In Hair Extensions

I have noticed a few cool companies popping up with curly hair extensions which has me super happy. I’m a curly girl myself and there’s been a gap in the market for too long. Kinky curly textures can be tighter than my natural curl. When purchasing the extensions, check out the reviews, and look for pictures, kinky curly clip in hair extensions can come tight, loose, or wavy. There isn’t really a regulation and companies vary on how they grade hair/textures. Check out my kinky curly clip in hair extension transformation below.

Kinky Curly Clip in Hair Extensions, Synthetic or Real?

Hair extensions are a grey area when it comes to advertising hair quality. Usually, you can buy curly hair extensions in synthetic, or ”real.” What I have to say with curly hair extensions is they can tangle, so synthetic I find don’t last past a few uses. They matte quite easily. Real hair will still tangle a little and require you to work at smoothing it out.

Kinky Curly Hair Extension Grades

Remy, 3A-9A, virgin hair. Confusing right? This system is not regulated so, I thought I’d break it down a bit. Remy hair means the hair is organized root to point in the same direction, this is a very good thing, as it reduces damage and tangles. 3A-9A generally means 3A is the lower quality mix and 9A is the higher. Virgin hair means no chemical process, which I struggle to believe. Personally, looking at reviews is your answer to questions.

Kinky Curly Clip In Hair Extensions Tip

One thing I have found with curly hair extensions is that over time, the hair has lost some bounce. The curls stretch a little and the look gets looser. My recommendation is to go for a tighter curl than your natural, so they last you better. Curls naturally have different textures, and I find curls are usually tighter on the ends so if you’re adding length, go for kinky curly clip in hair extensions with a slightly tighter curl.

Kinky Curly Clip In Extensions Home Care

Washing the hair extensions may require you to be gentle. With the hair being curly and chemically processed it will tangle easily, so don’t go crazy gently massage in shampoo and use a good deep conditioner. Luckily kinky curly hair extensions won’t regularly need a wash if their clip-ins. They last out better than more permanent extensions hair wash-wise.

Applying Kinky Curly Clip In Hair Extensions

Kinky Curly Clip in Hair Extension How to Apply

Putting clip in hair extensions comes naturally to some and not so to others. I recommend working from the bottom of the neck upwards, row by row. Section away for ease, if your clips slip out because you have a silky hair type, a little backcombing and spray in the areas where the clips are will re-enforce hold at the clip.

Frizzy Kinky Curly Clip In Hair Extensions

If your kinky curly clip-in hair extensions have gone frizzy, they may need an injection of moisture. Using conditioning curl creams and oils like castor oil can help. Also, I like to use spray-in conditioners to smooth and reactivate lived-in curls. I find kinky curly clip in hair extensions way more thirsty than smooth hair types, so don’t be afraid to go heavy with the conditioning products. 

Styling Kinky Curly Clip In Hair Extensions

Kinky curly clip in hair extensions may need a little styling if it has gone far from the original curl form. Damp the hair, smooth over the curl cream, and twist the hair into coils. Leave the hair alone to air dry completely. I find air drying is best for curls. Also don’t scrunch, it encourages frizz, once the hair is twisted, LEAVE IT ALONE. Once dry, break up the coils a little to give a less uniform look. Check out this video of how I twist curls for definition –

Cutting Kinky Curly Clip In Extensions

Curls are such a hard texture to master cutting so I really really recommend you ask a professional to cut your extensions to match your hair. Too often I see videos of curly hair extensions just plonked in without a haircut. For me, I can see where the real/natural hair and extension hair sits. Getting a cut can be the difference between real and fake-looking kinky curly clip in extensions.

Kinky Curly Clip In Extensions Layers

One thing that helps blend those curls from a short to long texture is layers. This doesn’t mean you have to go heavy with layers. Maybe a gentle face frame and the top row of extensions have a layer cut in to join your short length to a long length. I find having one row as a layer is great to use alone too, for those days I just want to add thickness and not length to my hair. You can get nice curtain bangs on curly hair to frame your face.
