We love them because you can dress them up and down so easily. Plus, there are many ways to get the curls of your dreams. You can get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingafrica.com\/nigeria\/hair-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>curly hairpiece<\/strong><\/a>, a wig or even a weave.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingafrica.com\/nigeria\/products\/weaves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Weaves<\/strong><\/a> are the preferred choice. In general, they&#8217;re low maintenance, giving you get the benefit of a protective, versatile and pretty style all rolled into one.<\/p>\n<p>Weaves allow you to create a longer, thicker or more glamorous hairstyle, using your real hair. Are you ready to add some curly fabulous to your life? Here are 4 things to consider before getting a curly weave.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Your Lifestyle<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a gym bunny or you just like to slay on campus, your lifestyle determines the curly weave to buy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re more of a low maintenance girl<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something that\u2019s easy to &#8216;tie up and go&#8217; then choose a product like the Brazilian wave. The curls are loose and flowy, making them easy to care for. Each pack comes with bundles to be installed on specific sections of the hair. This kind of weave usually includes a closure to pull the look together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re more of a high maintenance girl<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re willing to spend more time in front of the mirror, then there are several options for you. Don\u2019t be afraid to go for a fuller look like the Regina Weave. A thicker hairstyle requires you to use maybe two or three bundles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Instead of a closure, why not go for a &#8216;leave out&#8217; look? This method of installation will help your chosen weave blend better with your hair. It covers your weave tracks to reveal your real hairline for a more natural looking hairstyle.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright wp-image-8087 lazyload\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Budget &#8211; Money talks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Not all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingafrica.com\/nigeria\/products\/weaves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>weaves<\/strong><\/a> are created equal. Depending on how long you intend to keep your hairdo, you&#8217;d need to consider the price tag. Generally, you shouldn\u2019t be keeping your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingafrica.com\/nigeria\/products\/weaves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>curly weave<\/strong> <\/a>in for longer than 4-6 weeks. However, if you plan to install your weave and reuse it again at a later stage, you&#8217;d need to invest in some good quality hair.<\/p>\n<p>Good quality hair comes with maintenance. Some of the tools you\u2019d need are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Non-sulphate shampoo to keep the hair moisturised and prevent damage.<\/li>\n<li>Conditioner to soften and preserve the curls.<\/li>\n<li>Paddle brush for detangling the curls carefully and effectively.<\/li>\n<li>Silicone solution to reduce friction while combing the hair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, you&#8217;d need to determine how many bundles you would need. A sleeker look would need 2 and a fuller one between 3 and 4.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Personal style<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Who are you channeling with your curls? Beyonce or Halle Berry? The type of curls you go for will represent you. A few options you could rock are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Long wavy curls<\/li>\n<li>Big afro curls<\/li>\n<li>Corkscrew curls<\/li>\n<li>Asymmetrical curls<\/li>\n<li>Curls with a fringe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>4. Trending hair<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Finally, which curly look is the hottest at the moment? We know you like to keep up with the trends, so we\u2019ve put together a list of the most popular curly looks right now.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>1.
