Curly extensions give you that bouncy, voluminous, fun-with-every-toss texture — but curls are thirstier and more delicate than straight hair. Treat them right and they’ll stay defined and gorgeous for a year or more. Here are the six rules our stylists swear by.
1. Wash smart — and in sections
Use a moisturising, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner; sulfates strip the moisture curls live on. Part the hair into sections, work product through with your fingers, lather, rinse, then condition. Wash weekly if you wear it daily (or for a sew-in).
2. Leave-in is non-negotiable
Curly extensions don’t get your scalp’s natural oils, so lock in moisture with a leave-in conditioner after every wash. Bonus: it makes detangling far easier.
3. Detangle ONLY when wet
Never rake dry curls — that’s how you get breakage and shedding. Dampen with a water spray, then gently work through with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers, ends to roots.
4. Less product, not more
Curls look greasy and weighed down with too much product. Use just enough to define and soften — that’s it.
5. Skip the heat
Heat dries curls out and invites frizz. Air-dry instead of blow-drying — and if you want sleek looks often, buy a straight set rather than flat-ironing your curls.
6. Satin by night, smart storage by day
Sleep in a satin or silk bonnet or on a satin pillowcase (cotton causes friction and frizz). Store off-head pieces tangle-free in their packaging or an airtight container.
