How to Seamlessly Blend Your Wig with Your Natural Hair Extensions
Step 1: Choose Extensions That Match Your Hair Texture and Color
The key to a natural blend is matching your extensions to your wig. CVOHAIR Extensions offers a variety of textures - from Original Cambodian Curls to LAO Straight - designed to blend beautifully with natural black hair. Take the time to choose a texture and color that complements your wig for a seamless result.Pro Tip:
If your natural hair texture is different than your extensions, consider gently straightening, curling, or using elastics to set your wig to match the texture of your extensions.
Step 2: Prep your Wig
Preparing the wig is essential to achieve the perfect blend.
1. Wash and Condition: Start by cleansing and moisturizing your hair. Use a lightweight conditioner to avoid weighing your hair down.
2. Heat Protectant: Apply a heat protectant before using hot tools to prevent heat damage.
3. Smooth and Style: Straighten or curl the wig as desired to match the extensions. Use a straightener with floating plates, like the KOSA Ceramic Straightener, for precise styling without breakage.
Step 3: Blend Like a Pro
Once you have your wig prepped and styled, it is time to blend it with your extensions.
- Technique: Lay your wig on the track of your extensions and gently comb or brush them in for a smooth transition.
- Edge Control: Use a lightweight edge control or hairspray to smooth out your roots and edges for a refined look.
- Seamless Finish: For an added blending effect, use a curling iron or straightener to blend the wig and extensions together. This ensures the textures blend perfectly.
Step 4: Stay Fresh All Day
Once you've blended your hair, the battle isn't over! Keeping your hair smooth all day long requires a little care.
- Touch-ups: Keep a small side brush or comb handy for quick touch-ups when needed.
- Protect against humidity: Use an anti-frizz spray or serum to protect your hair from humidity and keep it smooth.
- Moisturize: Use a light, non-greasy moisturizer to keep your hair naturally moisturized and prevent dryness.
Pro Tip:
If your hair starts to get back or frizzy, a small amount of texturizing spray can help hold it back in place.
Step 5: Protect Your Leave-Out Overnight
Leaving your hair out overnight is essential to keep it fresh and ready to go.
1. Wrap: Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf before going to bed. This will prevent frizz and keep your style in place.
2. Pineapple bun: If you have curly hair, tie your hair into a loose "pineapple bun" to keep the curls in place.
3. Moisturize and lock in moisture: Apply a small amount of lightweight oil to your long hair to lock in moisture overnight.
Secret to longevity
- Minimize heat use: Too much heat can cause damage or breakage. Alternate between heat-free blending methods (like elastic wands or weaves) and heat styling.
- Trim split ends: Regular trims keep your hair healthy and reduce the risk of frizz.
- Revisit your extensions: If your extensions have lost texture or shine, rejuvenate them with a deep conditioning treatment to maintain a seamless blend.
