I have used extensions off and on during my hair journey and I genuinely think that they are a valid way to protect your hair from the elements as you allow it to grow out underneath. Hey, we all know that ‘a good regimen’ without protective styling isn’t enough for many of us to get long hair so every method helps right?
I have tried straight and kinky* curly extensions* in the past. In my experience trying to keep your natural leave out hair straight to match extensions is a nightmare and one that generally results in you having to flat iron* every day, not great.
Blending with curly extensions is also hit and miss because some hair textures just won’t hold on to the created curl pattern long enough to have a flawless blend. Again this means a LOT of manipulation on your leave out hair. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just let your leave out do it’s thing? Shrink, poof out, whatevs.
I was recently made aware of a new company that is offering extensions that blend beautifully with kinky hair textures; think stretched and combed out 4a and 4b kinks. Luckily enough YouTuber African Export has already used and installed this hair. Take a look . . .
Can I just say, WOW, after watching the video you can see that the kinky hair extensions* blend flawlessly with her real hair (which is gorgeous anyway) and the whole look is on point. Also goes to show that even at 18 inches kinky* hair will always want to shrink back to your shoulders!
What do you think ladies? Would you wear these extensions*?
No
I would! It’ll give me an idea on whether or not going full out natural would look good on me
Yes. Why not? To me it’s like where any other type of extension
HELL yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope, when I have my own kinky hair. LOL
Yes! My natural hair never looks as good as the kinky weave.
Yes Lawd!!!
I WOULD
I would! Tell me the brand name now please!!
Didn’t know they have this…now I get why everyone takes my own hair for extensions when I wear it out…
absolutely! would be awesome to have more length with my own texture (or close to it)
yup
Yes
Hell no, if i wanted natural hair then i would go natural. Why wear weave?
People who relax their hair to make it straight or wavy wear straight or wavy weaves….
That makes no sense lol…
Most def. Guess chris rock got it wrong. Ill take two bags of the afro hair thank you!
I have, but I prefer extentions more like my own hair type – kinky 4B-4A after loose twist-out waves.
YES !!!! It’s what I’ve been waiting for !!!!
probably not
I sure would. There are many styles out there and I’m about to do my own crochet weave using kinky hair and I’m excited about it.
No seems silly for me….got my own hair.
Get that #kinky with us!:) Goddessweaves Virgin Hair Bundle Deals
Shoosh yea I would s/n: currently transitioning
Yep!
Yes I would wear extension that match my hair type
Definitely. Seems like the perfect protective style.
ITA. You are protecting your hair but still dealing with a texture close to yours along with all the challenges that come along with…
Yes. I don’t mind “dealing” with my texture. I would use the protective style to cut down onto styling time every now and then. Cowashing is no fun for me during the winters so having my own hair moisturized and braided underneath a kinky weave would be a win-win for me.
YES OF COURSE
I watched the tutorial, and it was great. I was looking for this type of hair extension and of course hadn’t found it in my “local store”. Enjoyed the video tutorial and will check out the website.
Yes, I would.But, I would classify it as a protective style,and not my own if some one were to ask how I take care of my natural hair.I’ve seen pics and read women given advice in a natural hair forum with sewed in hair,and extensions.#JMO By the way, AfricanExport, is one of my YouTube gurus I watch.
mos def! 1 thousand yes I would wear complex African Textured weaves. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN FOR THE PAST 40YRS????
Perfect way to get BLACKMEN OF OUR BACKS ON, CALLING US OUT ON WANTING TO BE WHITE,LIKE ITS truth.
I could rock this style.
yes, i would where can i get them
Yes, why not?
I’m guessing or surmising that relaxed heads most likely wouldn’t, but most of us naturals would. Yes I have my own hair but as others have said it’s the perfect protective style. Plus for me it enables me to do styles that I can’t achieve with just my own hair due to not just length but thickness also. I feel so fake with straight weave. 🙂
I love this… I would wear it while my relaxed hair grows out… Not ready to cut it all off yet…. I really want this hair… Does it come on weft.
Yes I would
Gonna get sum kinky micros!!!
Love her youtube channel….African Export.
Yes definitely! My own hair is not long enough to tie in a bun. I would definitely buy this. What’s the brand name?
Yes It’s nice
Yes but they are not as popular as extra virgin brazillian
Love,love,love A.E.!!!
Yes, nice
Yes I would. Marley hair matches my hair pattern perfectly and I would use it when I want longer twist outs
The only hair I’ve ever worn was during box braids I’ve never worn any sew in or any type of weave extension or wig. My hair always been very long I’m at 16 inches now so I probably wouldn’t just stick with my braids if I want a protective style. I think that it’s cute tho.
Yes.
Yes absolutely!!
yes, it is our natural beauty.
Sporting afro kinky extensions now
Definitely!
