If you’re talking about celebrity fashion and style, one of the main focal points of conversation is hair. Hair is the center of fashion and the way we wear our hair can make or break and outfit and vice versa. One of the most popular ways many celebrities choose to add to their hair is not only with hair accessories, but more times than not, many female celebs have chosen human hair extensions as a way to beef up their style.
This past February, the 2012 Pre-Grammy Party held at the Beverly Hills Hotel we were lucky enough to be graced by many different movie and music personalities. However, what caught the eyes of many was the curly kinky weave extensions sported by former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland.
Rowland has been in the music industry for some time and now in her thirties, she still has not failed to amaze her fans with her constant reinvention of her fashion sense, but most importantly through her ever changing hairstyles! She goes from short and sleek to long and curly! Any style she wears looks absolutely stunning on her slender physique.
Most recently, the long curly kinky weave Kelly wore at this most recent event was a total hit! Not only did it compliment the blue sequenced fitted dress she wore, but it also complimented her overall classy style!
Achieving Kelly’s Gorgeous Kinky Curly Weave:
Anyone can easily recreate this look by simply purchasing kinky curly hair extensions in the length of between 18 and 24 inches.
How to Achieve the Style:
The weaving of the hair extension into your natural hair must start by braiding your hair using flat braids also known as “cornrows”. Make sure you cornrow all of the hair for better blending of the hair and for a more polished look once the curly hair weave extension is added to your natural hair. Try to ensure that the cornrows are completely hidden when the hair extensions are in place.
You can achieve this by ensuring enough hair in each track stays tightly woven together as it’s added to the cornrow braid. The weaving of the hair extensions should start at the nape working your way up towards the crown. It is important to remember that it is better to have a reputable weaving professional do your weave style in order to avoid complications in the procedure.
After you finish weaving, you need to trim and shape the hair extension in your desired style in order to make it look more natural. Trimming curly hair requires different techniques than cutting straight hair. Curly hair must be cut when it is dry to avoid the “spring factor.” Using a razor is a big no-no for trimming curly hair. Cut the hair with sharp scissors at the crest of the curls and never at the mid portion of the curls.
When layering curly hair, layer the top front portion of the hair and work your way down.
The secret to Kelly’s cool curly kinky hair is the symmetrical shaping. You can also achieve this hairstyle by carefully following the above tips. Doing so will ensure you have the best curly weave extensions that looks professional, sassy and oh so natural!
