Extensions for Curls & Coils: Part 1 — Sew-In Methods

Hey curl queens!

If you’ve ever wondered about extensions that respect your natural curls and coils — without any flat irons or heat damage — you’re in the right place. At Texture Society, I specialize in texture-matched, protective, and low-tension sew-ins that keep your hair healthy while adding length, volume, and versatility.

Extensions use different types of wefts, each designed to work with curls and coils in its own way. Curious about which weft is right for you? Check out my post, [Weft Options 101], where I break down all your choices so you can make the best pick for your hair type and desired style.

Now, let’s dive into our favorite curl-friendly sew-in methods:

Traditional Sew-In

• The classic go-to for length and fullness.

• Uses a braid foundation with leave-out that blends naturally — no heat, no straightening.

• Perfect for clients who want long-lasting protective styles while keeping their curl pattern intact.

• Great for medium to high-density curls.

💡 Pro Tip: The braid pattern matters! It sets the foundation for both longevity and natural movement.

Vixen Sew-In (Cross-Section + Perimeter Leave-Out)

• A twist on the traditional sew-in that gives you versatile styling options.

• Cross-section leave-out + perimeter leave-out means you can do half-up, ponytails, side parts, and more.

• Maintains natural curl definition — all heatless.

• Best for medium to longer hair who want styling flexibility.

💡 Pro Tip: Moisturize your leave-out regularly to keep your curls popping and prevent frizz.

Partial Sew-In (Minimal Leave-Out)

• Perfect for clients who want volume without sacrificing length.

• Small sections of leave-out blend naturally with your extensions — heat-free.

• Great for wash-and-go styles.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep your curls hydrated and use curl creams to maintain a seamless blend.

Closure Sew-In

• A zero leave-out protective style for transitioners or clients wanting full coverage.

• Closure matched by curl pattern for natural movement.

• Full protection, zero heat, edges intact.

💡 Pro Tip: Closures are great if you want a full curly/coily look while keeping your natural hair safe.

Crown Method Sew-In (Braidless Weft Install)

• Our signature technique — formerly called Crown Connection.

• No braids, just beads holding the wefts in place.

• Lightweight, low-tension, and blends perfectly with curls and coils.

• Allows for up or down styles without stress on the hairline or edges.

💡 Pro Tip: Ideal if you want fullness without bulk — especially for fine to medium-density curls.

Sol-Links (Microlink Individual Strands)

• Individual strands added strategically for volume, length, and lift.

• Heatless blending, perfectly matched to your curl pattern.

• Adds dimension without visible tracks, giving natural movement.

💡 Pro Tip: Sol-Links are great for filling in sparse areas or enhancing fullness without compromising scalp health.

Crochet Weft “Sew-In”

• A hybrid method weaving the weft into your hair with minimal sewing.

• Ultra-lightweight, low-tension, and curl-safe.

• Blends seamlessly with natural curls, giving a super natural, low-maintenance style.

💡 Pro Tip: Ideal for clients who want protective styling without heaviness or tightness.
