Stylists at the Curly Hair Salon say curly hair weaves can give a woman a funky or feminine look or fill out a thin head of hair. Hair weaves are available in synthetic or human hair versions. They can suit long, medium or short hair and provide a natural fullness to curly hair without harmful chemicals and processes. Many types of curly hair weaves on the market can be applied through a salon or at home. Ideally, a hair weave matches the natural curls already present in the hair.
Bohemian
The Bohemian is ideal for short- to medium-length curly hair. Hair must first be braided into cornrows so the Bohemian can be woven into the rows. Although human hair weaves provide the most natural look, synthetic hair also can be used for this style. The curls in the Bohemian can be left tight or loosened by tussling with the fingertips for additional fullness. From the Jerry Bohemian Human Hair collection, the Bohemian comes in a five-inch track that can be customized for direct application.
Diva
The Diva is for women looking for a looser curl for longer hair. The diva comes from the Peacock Hair collection. It comes in three tracks of eight inches or shorter. The weave can be attached directly to the existing hair or onto the scalp. All three pieces in the Diva can be inserted into a net cap to create a totally new hairdo. The Diva is an excellent choice for those who want to stand out with multi-colored layers in their weaves, because it's long enough to support two or more variations along the track.
Jerry Curl
The Afro Jerry Curl is a small, tight spiral weave that comes in track lengths of 10 inches or less. The Jerry Curl is part of the Janet Gold Collection of weaves and comes one track to a pack. The Jerry Curl gives women a retro look that can be worn short or long. The curls are springy and swing independently to provide hair motion in every movement. Jerry Curls can be woven into existing curls but are best suited to a net cap unless the woman has tight curls that blend well with the weave.
Water Wave
The Water Wave, designed by the Bally Tress Hair Collection, is a very loose and feminine curl that flows like water and provides a natural-looking weave. The Water Wave comes in six-inch tracks of loose spiral curls or in a straighter version sold in eight-inch tracks. Two pieces come in a Water Wave package. The Water Wave is a good choice for those with more relaxed curls and can be woven into the hair for fullness.
