Hello members of Hair Talk!
I am new here and I've been reading up on past messages for a while now.
My question involves curly hair and extensions. My curls are type 3a - 3b according to the Curly Hair forum's posts. The curls are rather large and super soft, prone to frizzies. Some of my curls are as small as the diameter of my finger. I've looked around tons of websites that sell hair extensions and I can never find the right type of curl to match my hair. Anyone have any suggestions?

Curly hair like yours (3a/3b) can be found much more readily in darker colors. Lighter colors (blondes) become a challenge to find curly natural blondes (a genetically rare occurance..) or to find curly blondes which have not been proccessed to death (by either the coloring processes or the perming processes to mimic the curls)

That said here's a few vendors you can check out:
Wagman Primus - My guess is that the Euro Curl is probably a good match for you.
Extensions Plus - The Zig Zag hair is probably a great options for you( you will need to call and send pics to ensure that the sales rep pulls hair which matches your requirements)
My Mane Attractions - Has a LOVELY variety of curly hairs.. She may not offer everything on her website anymore since opening her store her in L.A., but it's worth a call..
Halleys Curls - Good vendor with a great rep for curly hair
Remy Hair Today - Another small vendor with a fairly good reputation.
Senghori Shells - Good rep for quality product and outstanding customer service
Giovanni & Sons - Again call and send pics to the rep of what it is you want so they can match your texture.
Bliss Tribune - Some of the most gorgeous curly hair I've have EVER seen!!!
