One of the most frequently asked questions about weft hair extensions is whether they can be curled. The answer is simple: absolutely! However, it’s less about the weft itself and more about the type and quality of the hair used. At LDL International, our custom wefts are made with premium virgin hair, and just like natural hair, it curls beautifully with the right techniques.
Curling Virgin Hair vs. Factory-Processed Hair
Factory-made hair extensions, often bleached and chemically treated, may hold a curl for longer. This is due to the changes in the hair’s structure from processing, which can make it more rigid and prone to maintaining a set style.
Virgin hair, like the extensions we offer at LDL International, behaves much like natural hair. It’s soft, healthy, and free from harsh chemical treatments, which means the curl will fall naturally over time. Depending on your hair type, curls from virgin hair extensions can last between 1–3 days, just as they would with your own hair.
Factors That Affect How Long Curls Last
The longevity of your curls depends on several factors, including the type of hair you have and the products or techniques you use.
Hair Type:
• Thicker, Wavy, or Curly Hair: Curls tend to last longer in hair with natural texture, as the hair is already accustomed to holding shape.
• Bleached Hair: Processed hair often holds curls for longer due to its altered texture.
• Straight or Fine Hair: Curls in straighter or finer hair types may drop more quickly, as the hair is naturally resistant to holding shape.
Tools and Products: Using heat protectants, styling products, and the right curling tools can help enhance the longevity of your curls.
Why Virgin Hair is Best for Day-to-Day Wear
While factory-processed hair might hold a curl longer, it doesn’t offer the same natural look, feel, or durability as virgin hair. Virgin hair extensions are unmatched for everyday wear, blending seamlessly with your own hair and retaining their health and shine over time.
Tips for Curling Your Weft Hair Extensions
1. Prep Your Hair: Always use a heat protectant to prevent damage.
2. Choose the Right Temperature: Virgin hair is durable, but excessive heat can still cause damage. Use a medium heat setting for best results.
3. Set Your Curls: After curling, let the curls cool in place or pin them up for a few minutes to help them set.
4. Finish with Product: Use a light-hold hairspray or styling product to maintain your curls.
