How Do I Choose The Correct Texture Match?
Choosing the right texture is about blend, not curl typing perfection.The best match depends on:
- How your hair looks without heavy manipulation
- Whether you wear your hair defined, stretched, or blown out
- Your desired volume, density, and finish
Your extensions should complement your natural hair’s behavior, not force it into a new one.
