Ok. I'm getting extensions on Friday- My hair is in very good condition- but I have a strange mix of straight and curly hair . It is fine, but I have a lot. The top layers are pretty straight, but I have cowlicks and around the hairline I have some curly areas. I really want straight extensions. Will the little curly spots around my hairline clash with the straight extensions? Opinions, Anyone? Thanks!  P.S. I tried the body wave and at first glance it is just too curly, maybe it will straighten out alot over time?------------- Early years are learning years, make them count! |

Hmm. Don't know. If your natural hair is a mix, one can assume you can use both textures in extensions as well. My opinion is that curly hair never looks good with straight extensions. However, the reverse is true -- straight hair looks good with curly. You sound like you have both. You'll just have to see how it turns out. Good luck. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Also keep in mind that "straight" extensions are rarely "bone straight" after washing. Most of the ones I've had have had a slight wave, so they might blend with your hair better than you think. If not, perhaps you can blowout your hair, or use a straightening iron on unruly parts? Good luck! |

Oh, yeah and most "bodywave" hair relaxes considerably--after the first wash, even. ------------- http://www.beautyaddictmag.com - www.beautyaddictmag.com |
