I'm not going to lie, I get bored with my hair, like really bored-- and often.
My go-to style involves a daily routine of snatching all my hair up and into a ponytail "puff" on top of my head, and calling it a day. Yep, I'm a "lazy natural" and I'll admit that. But wearing the same old hairstyle day after day can get old very quickly. It's not that I don't love my hair or that I don't like versatility but more so that I just don't have the energy or the motivation to do much to my hair these days. I like wearing my hair in twist-outs coils, and all the other neat and intricate natural hair styles but sometimes I just want something cute, quick and simple.
Adding hair extensions is a great way to experiment with different styles all while protecting your own hair at the same time. Box braids have always been a favorite, and the re-emerging crochet braid trend is another popular style I've wanted to revisit. Before growing out my natural hair, wigs and hair weaves were my thing! I had the conquered the wig-making and invisible part game down to a science! LOL! I'm no stranger to finding high-quality hair weave at an affordable price and in my search for a new do, I stumbled on and rediscovered quite a few brands that specialize in providing top quality hair that closely resembles curly and Afro-textured hair.
There are many options for hair extensions that cater to curly and tightly coiled hair textures. Natural hair extensions are a great way of adding versatility to your typical natural hair routine while protecting your own delicate strands at the same time.
