Let’s take a look at the available weave techniques and their specifics, and the ways they can be used in diverse hairstyles.
- Extensions on adhesive tapes. These tapes are fastened to your own hair within minutes. You can have as much hair as you want but keep in mind: tapes can pop up from under your own hair in the wind or when you move your head
- Weave-on extensions. Tresses of hair are literally sewn to your head. First, your own natural hair must be braided very close to your scalp and then, weave-on tresses are fastened to these braids. Your hair is not harmed, the places where the extensions are attached are invisible even in the wind. This technique is one of the most effective for diverse hairstyles
- Extensions with clips. Such tresses are attached with the help of hair clips. They can be put on and taken off within seconds and even without anybody’s help. Such a technique is the best for quick hairstyles
- Keratin extensions. Such tresses are attached to your own hair with the help of hot keratin capsules. Such a procedure can be harmful to hair and lack longevity; however, it’s quite cheap
Now, let’s consider advantages and drawbacks of all the techniques. The adhesive tapes are visible on hair and last for a short time but they are attached quite quickly. Extensions with clips are the most suitable ones if you want to save time and do everything on your own. Keratin extensions are cheap and quickly attached but they are also easily damaged when styling and can ruin natural hair.
The extensions that are attached to braids are the best choice for curly hairstyles with weave and, in general, for comfortable wearing. The braids need to be redone every 1 to 1.5 months, depending on the individual hair growth, but the same weave can be used up to 5 times.
Let’s take a look at diverse extension techniques from the point of view of the best curly weaves styles for African hair.
Curly natural hair weave styles and the extension techniques
- Long neat curls. If you are not planning to shake your head vigorously or let somebody run their fingers through your hair, you can even use the extensions on clips. In case you want this hairstyle to last for a long time, it’s possible to use keratin extensions because the capsule won’t be visible under the mass of the hair
- Short curls with a side parting. If you are making such a hairstyle for a special occasion and don’t plan to wear it for a long time, you can create the volume with the help of quickly attachable and easily detachable extensions. If you want to wear it for several weeks or months, take advantage of the weave-on extension, which allows making the parting everywhere you want
- A high ponytail. Such a hairstyle is created with the help of a detachable ponytail, which is fastened to your own hair with the help of special clips or pins. You just need to create a smooth tail out of your own hair and then wrap it with the extension. This is one of the easiest and most impressive curly weave hair ideas
- Natural curls with some color. Again, depending on the desirable longevity of the hairstyle, you can use the colored extensions on clips or, best of all, weave-on extensions that will be attached very closely to your scalp.
- Natural curls with side braiding. In such a hairstyle, it’s very important to do the braiding first and then to attach the extensions in order to hide the places where the tresses are attached
Now when you know all the techniques you can easily choose the best weave and natural hair styles that match your beauty and taste. However, you should also remember that such a hairstyle demands a lot of care in order to retain its neat look and prevent tangling of the curls.
Choose your hairstyle and shine!
