If you have curly hair you will have to straighten your natural hair to match the texture of the extensions. If you’re unsure on the texture of your own hair with extensions, our stylists will fit a test piece in your consultation so you can feel what it’s like and trial wearing them before you commit. We also have various treatments on offer such as Nano Keratin which can help smooth your natural hair. Find out more about Nano Keratin on our website.
