subject: Clip In Wavy Hair Extensions [print this page] If youve been searching for hair extensions and you have naturally wavy hair, you may have noticed that a lot of the brands you find sell straight hair extensions. If your wavy hair is a little on the fine side or maybe its just too short, you can find hair extensions to fill in your styles, though its a lot easier to find ones made for straight hair rather than wavy or curly hair.
With clip ins, you can obtain instant results in the comfort of your own home. These extensions come in wefts, and these wefts feature comb-like clips along the top that are fastened to your natural locks. Clip in extensions have been gaining popularity because theyre so easy to use and a great temporary way to gain length and volume.
There are two types of clip in hair extensions, natural and synthetic. Synthetic hair extensions are much cheaper but the results arent as natural looking. The synthetic hair is made with artificial fibers like monofilament silicone and polyester, making it heavier than human hair and more difficult to style, plus you cant use heat styling tools or dyes on them. With natural clip in extensions you get human hair that is divided into different grades according to quality. For example the highest grade would be A, with 100 percent human hair that has the cuticles intact and aligned. Next come grades B and C with lower quality and a cheaper price. With synthetic hair extensions, even though theyre cheaper, wont create the same results as natural ones. Also, synthetic hair is more difficult to put waves in, should you want them.
What a lot of people do is buy a set of straight hair extensions and then they straighten their natural hair so that the difference between textures isnt noticeable. But maybe you prefer not to apply a heat styling tool to your hair often, or you simply want long, flowing waves. Clipping in straight hair extensions wont do much to obtain a wavy style, but if the hair is 100 percent human you can style it with a curling iron and do the same to the rest of your hair to blend it in with the extensions.
There are also some brands that provide wavy and curly hair extensions made with 100 percent human hair that look natural and give you the best results. Find the extensions that match your texture the best when you buy.
