How to Care for Curly & Wavy Hair Extensions

Keep Your Curls Lush, Defined & Full of Life

At MINK LONDON, our curly and wavy extensions are designed to move with your natural beauty but maintaining that bounce and softness takes the right care. Whether you wear deep waves, raw Indian curls or natural wavy textures, proper maintenance ensures your luxury hair stays flawless, frizz-free, and full of vitality for years to come.

Here’s your expert guide to caring for curly and wavy hair extensions — including product suggestions that smell divine and work beautifully.


1. Hydrate Without Weighing Down

Curly textures are naturally more porous, which means they crave moisture — but not heaviness. Using the right hydrating yet lightweight products helps your curls stay plump and defined.

Products We Love:

Wella Glam Mist
A luxurious leave in hydrating mist that smells incredible and revives dry or dull curls with just a single spray. Perfect for daily use to refresh your extensions without weighing them down.

How to Use:
Mist onto damp or dry hair and scrunch gently to re-activate waves or curls. Ideal for post-wash days or a mid-week refresh.


2. Avoid Frizz with the Right Styling Cream

Styling curly or wavy hair extensions doesn't require heavy gels or harsh mousses. Instead, choose a cream that smooths and defines while maintaining softness and shine.

 Products We Love:

WOW One-Minute Transformation Cream
This miracle cream tames frizz, boosts shine, and smells absolutely gorgeous. It gives your waves and curls a polished, silky finish without stickiness or residue.

How to Use:
Apply a small amount to damp or dry hair, focusing on mid-lengths to ends. Great for smoothing out frizz after heat styling or air-drying.


3. Wash Carefully — Sulphate-Free Only

Curly extensions should be washed only when needed , using a sulphate-free shampoo followed by a nourishing conditioner. Always detangle gently while the conditioner is in, using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers.

Pro Tips:

  • Never rub the hair — squeeze water downward instead.

  • Always rinse in cool or lukewarm water to retain moisture.

  • Avoid applying conditioner or oils near the tape tabs or SNAP IN roots.

  • Apply a nourishing hair mask and leave for 5 -10 minutes.

4. Dry Smart: No Rough Towels

After washing, use a microfiber towel or a cotton T-shirt to blot excess water ,do not rub. Let curls air dry or diffuse gently with a hairdryer on cool with a diffuser attachment.

Sleeping with wet hair can cause matting or damage to your tapes — always dry before bed.


5. Sleep Like a Queen

Protect your curls at night with a silk bonnet, silk pillowcase, or loose braid. This keeps your texture intact and prevents friction, frizz, and breakage.


6. Maintain Curl Pattern Between Installs

If you wear your curly or wavy MINK extensions in and out, it’s important to clean and deep condition between installs. This restores elasticity and bounce while removing buildup.

Deep condition every 3–4 washes using a silicone-free mask. Then mist with Well Glam and finish with WOW Cream before letting dry naturally.

Curls are a luxury  and like all luxuries, they deserve to be handled with care. With the right products, routines, and tools, your curly or wavy MINK LONDON extensions will look salon-fresh every day.
