How To Blend Natural Hair With Curly Weave

For many women with natural hair, adding extensions like a curly weave can bring a huge change in their look. However, achieving a seamless blend between your natural hair and the curly weave can be a bit challenging. Whether you’re a seasoned weave wearer or a newbie to the world of hair extensions, this guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of blending your natural hair with a curly weave for stunning and natural-looking hairstyles.   

1. Understanding the Basics

Before learning about how to blend natural hair with curly weave, let’s understand more about curly hair weave first:

  • Curly Weave Textures: Curly weaves come in various textures, including loose curls, deep curls, kinky curls, fumi curls, romantic curls, twist curls and more. Though there are many choices when it comes to curly hair weave, it’s better to opt for a texture that closely matches your natural curl pattern for the most natural blend.

  • Hair Preparation: Ensure your natural hair is clean, well-moisturized, and free from tangles before installing the curly weave. Hydrated hair promotes better blending and prevents damage.
  • A Protective Styling: Wearing a curly weave can be an excellent way to protect your natural hair from daily styling and manipulation, promoting healthy hair growth. That’s why many girls choose to use curly hair weaves as a way to give their hair a break from frequent styling.  

2. Step-by-Step Guide to Blending Natural Hair With Curly Weave

Step 1: Selecting the Right Curly Weave

Choosing the right curly weave texture is crucial for a seamless blend. As we have mentioned earlier, it’s important to select a weave that closely matches your natural hair curl texture. If you have tight coils, consider a kinky curly weave, and if your hair has loose curls, opt for a weave with a similar pattern. 

Step 2: Prep Your Natural Hair

Before installing the weave, you should wash and condition your natural hair thoroughly. Deep conditioning helps to moisturize your hair, making it more manageable during the blending process. Then, detangle your hair gently using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to prevent breakage.

Step 3: Installing the Curly Weave

There are various methods to install a curly weave, including sew-in, glue-in, or clip-in. For a natural blend, we recommend you use the sew-in method. The reason is that sew-in method provides a better secure fit than the clip-in and glue-in and is gentler on hair. 

You can try to create your own sew-ins by following online tutorials. Yet, it’s better to visit a professional stylist for the best result. 

Step 4: Blending Your Natural Hair and the Curly Weave

Once you finish installing the curly weave, it’s time to blend it with your natural hair seamlessly. Follow these techniques to achieve a flawless blend:

  • Bantu Knot-Out:

This technique helps to blend your natural hair with the curly weave, making the transition less noticeable. Bantu knot-out is not only an effective method for blending, but it also offers versatility in styling. Once the knots are undone, you can enjoy voluminous and well-defined curls that seamlessly integrate with the curly weave. This technique not only enhances the overall appearance but also helps maintain the health of your natural hair by avoiding excessive heat or styling products.

How to do:

Divide your hair into sections, then twist each section into a small, neat Bantu knot. After a few hours or overnight, unravel the knots and you’ll be left with perfectly blended curls.

  • Flexi-Rod Set: 

Another method to blend your hair is by doing a flexi-rod set. Flexi-Rod Set provides versatility in styling options. You can achieve various curl patterns, from loose waves to tight coils, depending on the size and placement of the flexi-rods. This versatility allows you to customize your look and create different hairstyles while maintaining a seamless blend between your natural hair and the curly weave.

How to do:

Wrap small sections of your natural hair around the flexi-rods, and do the same for the curly weave. After allowing the hair to set for a few hours, remove the rods and blend the two textures together gently using your fingers.

  • Twist-Out: 

This classic technique is a simple way to blend natural hair with extensions. The greatest thing about twist-out is that it’s super easy to create. It’s also versatile, so you can adjust the size and tightness of the twists to create different curl textures like loose waves or defined curls.

How to do: 

Twist small sections of your natural hair and the curly weave together. Once the hair is dry, unravel the twists, and you’ll have beautifully blended curls.

3. Styling Tips to Enhance Curly Hair Weave 

Now that your natural hair and curly weave are perfectly blended, it’s time to experiment with different hairstyles. Here are some styling tips to enhance the look:

  • Half-Up, Half-Down: Gather the top half of your hair and secure it in a loose bun or ponytail, leaving the curly weave to flow freely. This style allows you to showcase both textures, creating an elegant and effortless look.
  • High Ponytail: Brush your natural hair and the curly weave up into a high ponytail. Use a silk scarf or a soft hair tie to keep the hair in place without causing damage.
  • Side Swept Curls: Sweep your blended curls to one side for a glamorous and romantic hairstyle. Use bobby pins or a decorative hairpin to secure the hair in place.
  • Faux Hawk: For a bold and edgy style, create a faux hawk by slicking back the sides of your hair and leaving the curly weave at the center to stand out.
