How to Use Curly Hair Extensions


Looking to add volume to your hair? If so, adding curly hair extensions can add both volume and length. If you have had straight hair all of your life and are looking for something different, try curly hair extensions. Curly hair extensions are so simple to use, there is no reason not to try them.


  1. Use curly hair extensions by
    braiding them into your hair. This is best used for individual
    braids, as opposed to an all over hairstyle. The curly extension braiding
    hair has two types, synthetic (less expensive, but cannot be washed)
    and human hair (more expensive, but easily washed).

  2. Use bonding to apply curly hair
    extensions. This method involves gluing extensions to the scalp.
    There is a special type of glue that must be used. Bonding can be
    quite messy, but it is quick and lasts until the hair is washed.

  3. Add extensions to a ponytail. This
    method is probably the cleanest and fastest extension method. It involves pinning
    curly hair extensions into a ponytail. Clipping the hair extensions
    (using a circular pattern) around the base of the ponytail secure
    the extensions into the place. The thickness of the ponytail depends
    on the amount of hair that is added. For a full and thick ponytail,
    add more extensions.

  4. Clip the curly extensions into the
    hair. Clip-in extensions are popular because they are quite an easy
    way to add both volume and length. The hair is already curled and
    has been pasted to a clip-in comb. Clipping the comb into the
    desired spots creates volume where you want it.

  5. Weave curly hair extensions into
    the hair. Weaving curly hair extensions into the hair involves
    weaving the hair into cornrows and sewing the extensions on top of
    the cornrows with a noodle and thread.
