  1. Kinky

    • Kinky Straight: This texture is similar to natural Afro-textured hair that has been blow-dried straight. It offers some volume and thickness but doesn't have a sleek, smooth appearance.
    • Coarse Yaki: Resembles Afro-textured hair that has been straightened. It's a bit smoother than kinky straight but still has some texture.
    • Kinky Curly: This mimics tightly coiled Afro-textured hair. It's perfect for individuals with type 4 hair who want to add length or volume.
  2. Afro-textured

    • Afro: Mimics the look of a natural Afro. It's very tightly coiled and offers a lot of volume.
    • Afro Kinky: Resembles natural Afro-textured hair with tight coils and kinks.

When choosing hair extensions, it's important to match the texture to your natural hair for the most seamless and realistic look. However, many people also opt for textures that are different from their natural hair for a varied look. For instance, someone with straight hair might choose curly extensions for a temporary change.

Also, note that the actual texture can vary slightly based on the origin of the hair (e.g., Brazilian, Indian, Peruvian, Malaysian) and the processing it has undergone. Human hair extensions tend to be more versatile in terms of styling, as they can be dyed, heated, and treated much like natural hair.

 

Steamed processed human hair extensions" refer to a specific method used to create curls, waves, or texture in human hair extensions without using harsh chemicals. This process involves using steam and heat to physically alter the structure of the hair, making it possible to achieve various styles and patterns. Here's a brief overview of how it's done:

  1. Preparation: The human hair extensions are cleaned and conditioned to prepare them for the steaming process. This ensures that the hair is free from any impurities and is in the best possible condition.

  2. Styling: The hair is then wrapped around rods or rollers of various sizes, depending on the desired curl or wave size. The choice of rod size and the method of wrapping can create a wide range of styles, from tight ringlets to loose waves.

  3. Steaming: Once the hair is securely wrapped on the rods, it's exposed to steam. The steam's heat causes the hair's hydrogen bonds to break and then reform around the rods, effectively changing its texture. The steam is carefully controlled to penetrate the hair without damaging it.

  4. Cooling and Finishing: After steaming, the hair is allowed to cool and set in its new shape. It's then carefully removed from the rods. At this point, some additional conditioning treatments may be applied to ensure the hair remains healthy and to set the style.

Steamed processed human hair extensions are popular because they offer a durable and flexible styling option without relying on chemical treatments, which can degrade hair quality over time. This method retains the natural qualities of human hair while providing a versatile range of styling options.


Bedtime Tips

  1. Brush Before Bed: Gently brush your hair extensions with a paddle brush or a wide-tooth comb before going to bed to remove any tangles and prevent matting.  Brush or comb starting at the very ends of the hair up to the weft.  (Curly hair extensions this is only necessary on wash day.)

  2. Braid Your Hair: Loosely braid your hair or twist for waves, kinky curls put it in a loose ponytail to prevent tangling and matting while you sleep. This is particularly important for longer extensions.

  3. Use a Silk or Satin Pillowcase: Silk or satin pillowcases are smoother for the hair cuticles than cotton and can help reduce friction, which causes less tangling and matting of your hair extensions.

  4. Avoid Sleeping with Wet Hair Extensions: Going to bed with wet hair extensions can lead to tangles and matting. Ensure your hair is completely dry before you go to bed.

  5. Consider a Nightcap or Hair Wrap: Wearing a silk or satin nightcap or wrapping your hair can also protect your extensions from tangling and friction damage.
