It also looks great on almost everyone. If you already have straight hair, you may opt to choose straight hair texture to simplify your daily styling process. This hair will increase your volume and length with minimal effort. It can look great with your hair in a wash-and-go style or styled the same way you style your natural hair. Straight hair extensions are still great for curly- or wavy-haired clients. Some customers style their hair straight to match this hair extension's sleek and shiny look. Others use the straight hair extension texture as an easy "blank slate” to curl and style the hair in a way that is similar to their natural or desired style or to try new hairdos. Suppose you’re choosing a permanent hair extension with a straight hair texture. In that case, you may use a chemical relaxer (also known as lanthionization), a Japanese thermal reconditioning, or a keratin treatment to relax your waves and simplify styling. For temporary solutions or for those who don’t want to chemically relax their hair, blow drying, straightening creams, or high-heat straighteners can help blend your style. 2 Body Wave Hair Extension Texture Body wave is a loose, natural curl. It’s not completely straight but not too curly, providing body, volume, and dimension to your hair. The wave tends to flow in a single flow, creating a full-bodied, smooth, wavy look. If you want to add a little style and intrigue to your regularly straight hair, body waves are a great option. You can replicate the body wave look in the rest of your natural hair if desired. Simply use your hair straightener to create gentle curls or hair rollers. This hair texture is also great as an extension for naturally curly or wavy hair. It will add body and volume, giving your hair a luxurious boost. Please note that the curls in the body wave start to relax over time, making the waves less pronounced. Since we always use pure Remy hair in our hair extensions, you can rejuvenate the look during hairstyling by creating flat-iron curls or using hair rollers. 3 Loose Wave Hair Extension Texture The hair texture of the loose waves is very loose, almost wave-like curls. The difference between this hair texture and the body wave is the loose waves don’t flow in a single piece like the body wave tends to. While the loose wave has loose, relaxed, and soft curls, these curls are "piece-y” enough to create texture and dimension in your hair. If desired, this look is easy to replicate in the rest of your hair by wrapping your hair around a large-barreled curling iron or curling rod or by using a thin straightener to create curls you can loosen with your fingers. Proper care and maintenance are critical since loose curls can relax over time. Don’t wash your hair more than twice a week, and deep condition once a month. You may have to re-apply the texture after every few washes since loose curls tend to relax over time. 4 Deep Waves Hair Extension Texture The deep wave hair extension texture has smooth, beautiful, tight waves. With plenty of body and tight "almost curls,” the deep wave hair offers an even and attractive feel. Just with tighter curls than in the loose wave or body wave. These are the tightest wavy hair extensions you can get without a full curl texture. When deciding how long to go with your hair extensions, remember that your hair extension length is measured when the hair is straight. If you use the length diagram on our Complete Guide for Buying Hair Extensions, add about 3 inches to the diagram measurements to achieve a similar look. If you have a naturally curly hair texture, the deep wave hair extension can help provide volume and length to your hair, creating a fuller, more luxurious look. What about straight hair? If you purchase a deep wave hair extension, you can replicate the deep wave look by wrapping your hair around a medium-sized curling iron (around 1”) or curling rod. Maintenance is vital with your deep-wave hair extension. Use a wide-toothed comb or pick to gently loosen tangles daily. Deep condition your hair often, and air-dry instead of blow-drying whenever possible. Wash your hair only 1-2 times monthly for permanent hair extensions or once every 20 years or so for clip-in or flip-in. 5 Deep Curls Hair Extension Texture Deep curls are tighter than deep waves and have a gorgeous, natural look. The deep curl hair extension texture brings a lot of body, dimension, and texture to your look. For clients who have naturally curly hair, deep curls can help add volume, length, and thickness to your hair. It can also help augment curly styling for clients with curly hair that is damaged or difficult to style. Deep curl extensions are great for adding volume, thickness, and length to naturally curly hair. They will help your hair look healthier, fuller, and richer. They also make your hair easier to style, bringing an (almost) effortless polished beauty to your curly locks. 6 Kinky Curly Hair Extension Texture Kinky curly hair is popular among clients with naturally kinky curly hair and for clients who have always dreamed of having this beautiful texture! With tight torsion twists, kinky curly hair has a tight curl characterized by a zig-zag pattern. This look has body, texture, and volume and produces a handsome, natural, healthy look. Clients with naturally kinky curly hair like to use this texture in hair extensions to amp up the volume—especially around the crown of the head, which can sometimes go flat if weighed down by heavy, long locks—and to increase length. Many of our clients without naturally kinky curly hair will have their hair professionally treated or permed to emulate the look in their natural hair, then amplify it with long, full, kinky curly hair extensions. Kinky curly hair looks strong but tends to be dry and often fragile. It’s essential to properly maintain your kinky curly hair extensions by using sulfate-free shampoo and regularly moisturizing your hair. Avoid washing your hair more than a 1-2x week when possible, and let your hair air-dry instead of using a blow dryer. 7 Funmi Hair Extension Texture Although Funmi hair has several different meanings, it typically refers to hair extensions with a curl that starts from the middle of the strand rather than the top of your hair. That is sometimes considered the "love child” of straight and curly hair extensions. Funmi hair extensions provide a beautiful, elegant look. This hair texture is great for special events such as weddings or galas or can be used daily. If you’re interested in Funmi hair for occasional use, we recommend trying clip-in hair extensions or flip-in style extensions. They can add volume, length, and a sleek design to your look in just minutes! Like other hair extension textures, proper hair care is important. This will ensure the sleek and awe-inspiring look of your Funmi hair extensions. 8 Yaki Hair Extension Texture Yaki hair is a straight, voluminous texture replicating chemically relaxed or flat-ironed African American hair. Natural African American hair often has many different curl patterns and textures. When relaxed or flat-ironed, the hair takes on a beautifully thick and straight texture. This hair texture is replicated in hair extensions using a micro-kink process on straight hair. The result is a thick, luxurious look with a unique texture. Available in many hair extensions, lengths, and styles, Yaki hair can supplement your existing hairstyle by increasing volume or length. Yaki hair looks beautiful in long and deep lengths and in shorter looks. This hair texture can also add volume and "oomph” to an afro look.
