1. Quick Lifestyle Quiz
How much time do you spend styling your hair daily?
-
Under 10 minutes: Choose Straight or Body Wave — textures that air-dry well or require minimal heat
-
10–30 minutes: Wavy or Curly fit well — perfect for soft styling or added definition
What’s your climate like?
-
Humid or rainy: Straight textures tend to stay smoother while curly and wavy may frizz or feel less defined
-
Dry or temperate: Any texture works, just match your styling habits
How often do you work out?
-
Active lifestyle: Go for lower-maintenance textures and shorter lengths
-
Less active: You can explore longer lengths or denser textures like curly or blonde
2. Texture Profiles: How Each Bundle Behaves
Straight
Naturally sleek with little to no wave. This texture lies flat, is easy to maintain, and works well in all climates — especially for those who prefer a polished, low-effort look. It air-dries smooth and responds well to heat styling.
Natural Wave
Soft, loose wave pattern that mimics naturally wavy hair. It offers a balance between straight and curly — easy to wear air-dried for a lived-in texture or styled for more volume. A versatile, everyday choice.
Curly
Defined curls that range from loose spirals to tighter ringlets, depending on the bundle. Curly textures offer high volume and drama but need more care to retain definition and prevent frizz — especially in humid climates.
Body Wave
Subtle, S-shaped waves that add volume and movement without being too curly. This texture holds styles well, blends easily with most hair types, and can be worn naturally or smoothed out. Great for a soft, glam finish with flexibility.
3. Best Length & Density
Best length for extensions depends on your desired impact and care capacity:
|
Length |
Look |
Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
|
14–16" |
Natural, shoulder to chest |
Easy upkeep, daily wear |
|
18–22" |
Mid-back glamour |
More styling time, may tangle |
|
24–30" |
Statement length |
High maintenance, needs regular care |
Density Formula:
-
2-3 bundles for lengths under 16"
-
3-4 bundles for 18–22"
-
4+ bundles for 24" and up
4. Matching Texture to Install Type

Raw Straight: Easy to detangle, rarely tangles. Use light serums.

Raw Wavy: Air-dries well. Needs occasional curl refresh or wave spray.
-
Raw Curly: Co-wash regularly. Use curl cream or leave-in for definition.
-
Body Wave: Maintain wave pattern with flexi rods or light heat.

#613 Blonde: Deep condition weekly. Use bond-repair masks to protect lightened hair.
