You can blend curly hair extensions with short hair, but you need to have at least two sets of curly hair extensions to do this. In order to make your shorter hair unnoticeable, your leave out at the top has to be minimal and twisted with the clip-in extensions.

Yes you can. Quite a few of our customers use our kinky clip-in extensions as a protective style for their natural hair.

At the top, you leave a small part of your natural hair out as your leave out, so that it naturally falls over your kinky curly clip-ins.

Yes you can! HeyCurls clip-in extensions are made from 100% human hair. Therefore, your natural hair clips can be straightened and curled. You do have to remember that you can damage the hair if you use excessive heat. We recommend using a heat protectant at all times and avoiding excessive use of straightening tools.

23. What products should I use on my curly hair extensions?

We recommend using products that you would also use on your natural hair. You don’t need to wash and style your curly hair extensions often, so you won’t break the bank using some of your most loved hair styling products.

24. How do I comb my kinky clip-in extensions?

Always comb your kinky clip-in extensions from root to bottom with a wide tooth comb after they are completely detangle. We recommend only combing the clip-ins on wash day, when they are coated with conditioner and if you are using the comb to detangle them, always start from the bottom working your way up. There is no need to comb them in between wears.

25. How do I wash my natural hair extensions?

The best way to wash your natural hair extensions is in a sink filled with water. Put a little bit of sulfate-free shampoo in the sink and submerge your clip-in extensions in the water. Wash them gently by stroking them from root to bottom. Do not tangle them up with your hands. Rinse your natural hair clip-in extensions and coat them with a very moisturizing conditioner or deep conditioner. Let the clip-ins soak up the conditioner for about 10-15 minutes and start gently finger detangling from bottom to top, until your clip-in extensions are completely untangled. Finally, lay each piece to air dry on top of a microfibre towel or cotton t-shirt on a flat surface. Once they are dry, style as usual.

26. Can I sleep with my natural hair clip-in extensions?

We do not recommend it. Other than it being very uncomfortable, the clip-in extensions can start to tangle with your own natural hair. It is very easy to clip-in your natural hair clip-in extensions in the morning, so just take them out before you go to bed ;)

27. Can I swim with my kinky hair extensions?

No, we do not recommend swimming with your kinky hair extensions. Chlorine from swimming pools and salt from ocean water is going to result in extreme tangling of the clip-ins and could be damaging if they tangle with your own natural hair. If you like to wear your kinky curly clips in the water, make sure you tie your hair up to avoid wetting them.

29. What is the difference between synthetic hair and human hair?

Human hair can be washed, coloured and straightened or curled with a heat styling tool. Human hair blends seamlessly with our own natural hair, has infinite styling options and has a very long lifespan. Synthetic hair is made out of fibre and lacks the softness and authentic texture of human hair. Synthetic hair is processed with many harmful chemicals that can cause skin irritation and are harmful to our planet. The durability of synthetic hair is only a few weeks, which makes them not a sustainable option.
