That tightness runs from the parting down through every inch to the tips with no loosening along the shaft, and it holds its shape wash to wash because the pattern is worked right into the virgin human hair itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnough Base to Follow a Rising Coil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA coil that lifts off the head opens up more scalp around the part than a curl that lays flat does, and a five-inch square gives you the room to cover it. Run the part center, drop it to a deep side, swing it toward a corner, there's still lace under wherever it lands. The extra base a 5x5 carries past a 4x4 earns its place on a texture that climbs like this one, and it does it without stretching lace across the whole hairline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeed It, Then Seal It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCoily hair pulls moisture in fast and gives it up just as fast, so you layer it back the way you would on your own wash day: a leave-in on damp hair, a little oil over that, a curl cream last to lock the whole thing down. Do it in that order and a tight coil keeps its spring and softness rather than turning dry and cottony on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwirl the Pattern Back Between Washes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nVirgin human hair lets you refresh a slack section the way a stylist re-sets a natural curl: wet it, wind it around a finger, then leave it to air-dry, so the coil comes back. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/locksofhair.com\/blogs\/hair-education\/curly-hair-extensions-installation-and-care\"\u003eWorking with your texture\u003c\/a\u003e instead of forcing it means you rake and scrunch with your hands and put the brush away once it's dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight for a Day, Kinky by the Next Wash\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPress a flat iron through and the coil stretches out into a blowout, then one wash brings the kink right home. Water and heat loosen the links that hold the curl and those links reform once the strand dries back out, which is the whole reason it goes straight and comes back on its own. Lay a heat protectant down before every pass, and never skip it on texture this tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour Edges Stay Braided and Safe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSewn into a weave or mounted on a custom cap, this piece tops the crown, which keeps your own strands tucked away from the blending work up front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHD Mesh the Coil Helps Hide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRight at the part line the coil crowds in dense, and the HD lace under it sits sheer enough that the open parting looks like bare skin and never like mesh. Against a deep 1B it won't throw the pale film a heavier grade casts, and the packed curl on either side breaks up the light so nothing catches the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWear the Black or Take It Up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLift it to honey blonde and the 5x5's open square hands that new tone a part you can swing center or corner to corner. It lands even with no bands from old dye because the hair ships virgin, one deep pigment and nothing else fighting the lift. Match it to dyed afro kinky bundles, or wear the black as it comes in 14 or 16 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"spec-header\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"spec-header\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eHair Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e100% Virgin Human Hair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eTexture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eAfro Kinky Curly (mimics natural Type 4 curls)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eNatural Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eColoring Capability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eCan be lifted to Honey Blonde\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e14\", 16\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLace Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003e5x5 HD Lace Closure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eLace Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eHD Lace – creates a seamless blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003ePart\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eVersatile parting options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eHeat Styling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003eHeat friendly – style as desired\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-label\"\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"spec-value\"\u003ePerfect for sew-ins \u0026amp; custom wigs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA 1B That Walks Up to Blonde Without Breaking Rank\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hair ships natural black, the deepest shade on the scale, and that's the thing to know before you reach for lightener. Colour doesn't leap to blonde in one move. It has to travel a fixed run of warm undertones on the way up, from red through orange into gold and then yellow, and a black this deep starts at the very bottom of that run, so it has the longest walk of any shade before honey blonde arrives. What makes the walk clean is that this is virgin \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/hair-extension-glossary#human-hair\"\u003ehuman hair\u003c\/a\u003e with its outer layer never stripped, so the colour packed inside every strand is whole and even. The lift moves through each undertone at the same pace across the whole piece rather than jumping ahead in patches the way already-dyed hair does. Wear the 1B as it comes to sit beside dyed afro kinky bundles, or take it up yourself and know it'll climb honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoom for the Part to Roam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true afro kinky coil cut to read like natural Type 4 springs up and away from the part rather than falling over it, and that's what makes the base size matter. The 5x5 lays a square of lace five inches to a side across the crown, enough field that the part can wander center-to-corner and still land on base instead of running off onto bare scalp. Both 14 and 16 inches take heat, and both drop into a \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/hair-extension-glossary#braid-and-sew-method\"\u003esew-in\u003c\/a\u003e or mount into a custom unit.
