The long wait is over! Our curly-haired customers asked, and we listened. We're excited to announce that we are now selling curly hair care! We have received many requests to provide a curly hair care line and we've been working hard on formulating the perfect solutions for you. As you may already know, we are one of the few hair companies that provide curly hair extensions and kinky curly hair extensions for a wide range of products. We thought, why not add a curly hair care line to the mix? Products that are not only great for your natural hair but also great for color-treated hair and hair extensions! Read on to learn more about our collection of curly hair care products suitably named 'Curl Care'.
Curl Care Defining Shampoo
Our defining shampoo, like the rest of our curly hair care products, is SLS and paraben-free. We wanted to make sure that our shampoo does not strip away the natural oils in your hair, which you need to make your curly hair thrive. Our shampoo includes grapefruit extract, which helps promote strong healthy hair, prevents dandruff, and promotes hair growth. It also includes avocado oil which helps promote curl retention, moisturizes your scalp, strengthens and prevents breakage. Our shampoo boosts curls while gently removing surface impurities and protecting color-treated strands. It hydrates your curls which leaves them vibrant and frizz-free.
Curl Care Defining Conditioner
Our defining conditioner has the same properties as our shampoo. It provides maximum hydration, boosts curls, adds shine, and maintains a healthy scalp with a blend of botanical extracts. When using the conditioner apply a generous amount throughout your curls and finger comb or use a wide-toothed comb. Let the conditioner sit in your hair for about 3-5 mins so your hair can absorb all the needed moisture. If you need extra hydration, apply a small amount to your hair and use it as a leave-in conditioner.
Curl Care Definer & Amplifier
Our definer and amplifier curl cream is what curly hair dreams are made of! It consists of jojoba seed oil and sunflower extract. Jojoba seed oil is beneficial for conditioning dry hair, promotes curl elasticity, keeps your color-treated hair vibrant, and encourages hair growth. As for the sunflower seed extract it helps reduce bacteria (build-up or dry scalp), reduces hair loss, stimulates hair growth, eliminates frizz, promotes shine and moisture. Did we mention that it also has a thermal protectant, UV protectant, and is humidity resistant? When using this product, make sure to work it through towel-dried hair. You can either diffuse your hair or let it air dry. Our definer and amplifier adds depth and separates curls while adding volume, shine, and texture.
Curl Care Nourishing Spray
Just like our shampoo and conditioner, our nourishing spray consists of the same ingredients. It controls frizz, boosts shine, and provides a bouncy long-lasting hold without the stickiness or buildup. For shaping frizz-free curls, spray a generous amount to slightly damp hair. Make sure to scrunch and diffuse with a blow dryer or let it dry naturally. If you are wanting to create ringlets, twist your hair around your finger and release. To refresh or shape your curls, apply to dry hair and scrunch.
Our Curl Care line is here to let your curly hair thrive through any condition! If you are a salon owner and looking for a curly hair care line to sell in your store, reach out to us at support@perfectlocks.com. We would love to have our line at your location!

The Best Products for Curly Hair Extensions: A Complete Guide
Curly human hair extensions need products that provide moisture and definition without the buildup that dulls curl patterns over time. Here's what actually works - and what to avoid.
"The biggest mistake curly extension wearers make is using the same heavy creams and butters they use on their natural hair. Natural hair has scalp oils to counterbalance heavy products. Extensions don't, which means heavy products build up faster, weigh the curl down, and eventually cause tangling. Lightweight is the keyword for extension care."
- Priyanka Swamy, Founder of Perfect Locks
Essential Products for Curly Hair Extensions
Sulfate-free shampoo: The non-negotiable foundation. Sulfates strip the moisture that curly extensions need to maintain their curl pattern. Always wash with a sulfate-free formula. Look for moisturizing, gentle formulas - not clarifying or volumizing shampoos, which can be too stripping.
Moisturizing conditioner: Curly clip-in extensions need rich conditioner every wash. Apply from mid-shaft to ends and let it sit for 3-5 minutes before rinsing. For very dry or tightly coiled extensions, use a deep conditioning mask weekly instead of regular conditioner.
Lightweight leave-in conditioner: Apply to damp extensions before styling to provide moisture that lasts between wash days. Choose a spray or water-based formula rather than a cream for curly extensions - creams can weigh the curl down and cause buildup on the weft.
Curl cream: The primary styling product for defining curl pattern in extensions. Apply to damp hair, scrunch upward to encourage clumping, and let air dry. Look for formulas without sulfates, silicones that don't rinse out (dimethicone), or heavy mineral oil.
Light-hold gel: Adds hold and reduces frizz in curly extensions. A small amount scrunched through damp, product-coated extension hair creates a "cast" as it dries that locks the curl in place. Scrunch out the crunch once completely dry for soft, defined curls without stiffness.
Lightweight argan or jojoba oil: 2-3 drops applied to the ends of dry extensions adds shine and reduces frizz without heaviness. Apply only to the lengths and ends, never near the weft base or attachment points.
Products to Avoid on Curly Hair Extensions
Not all curl products are extension-friendly. Avoid:
Products with non-water-soluble silicones (dimethicone, cyclomethicone listed in the first few ingredients): These coat the hair shaft and create buildup that's difficult to wash out without sulfate shampoos, creating a cycle that dulls curl pattern over time.
Heavy butters and oils (shea butter, castor oil, mango butter): Too heavy for extension hair, which can't rely on scalp heat to absorb and distribute these products. They cause buildup and weigh curls down.
Wax-based products: The most damaging category for extensions. Wax is nearly impossible to fully remove from extension hair and builds up inside the curl structure over time.
Products with high glycerin content in humid climates: Glycerin is a humectant that draws moisture from the air - helpful in low humidity, but causes extreme frizz in humid conditions.
Product Application Technique for Curly Extensions
How you apply products matters as much as which products you use. For curly extension hair:
Apply all products to damp, not dry hair. Work in small sections, applying product generously and evenly before moving to the next section. Scrunch upward (not squeeze downward) to encourage curl clumping. Let dry completely without touching - touching curly hair as it dries causes frizz. Once completely dry, scrunch gently to break the cast from any gel or cream used.
Frequently Asked Questions
What products are best for curly hair extensions?
The ideal product lineup for curly hair extensions is: sulfate-free shampoo, moisturizing conditioner or weekly deep conditioning mask, lightweight leave-in conditioner spray, curl cream for definition, light-hold gel for frizz control, and a few drops of argan or jojoba oil for shine on dry hair. All products should be free of heavy silicones, waxes, and heavy butters.
How do you keep curly hair extensions from frizzing?
Apply products to soaking wet hair and let dry completely without touching. Use a light-hold gel to create a frizz-resistant structure as the curl dries. Avoid heavy products that disrupt the curl clumping pattern. Sleep on a satin pillowcase or in a satin bonnet to prevent friction-caused frizz overnight. In humid weather, apply a small amount of anti-humidity serum as a finishing step.
How do you restore curl pattern in hair extensions?
Wet or mist the extensions lightly, apply a small amount of curl cream, and scrunch upward. For extensions that have lost significant curl definition, wash with sulfate-free shampoo, deep condition, then apply curl cream and gel to soaking wet hair and air dry or diffuse on low heat. Steam treatment (holding extensions over steam from a kettle at a safe distance) can also help revive curl structure.
Can you use regular hair products on curly hair extensions?
Not all regular products are safe for extensions. Products with heavy silicones, waxes, or mineral oil cause buildup on extensions that's difficult to remove without sulfate shampoos. Products with sulfates then strip the moisture extensions need. The safest approach is to choose products specifically formulated for curly hair that are free of harsh sulfates, heavy silicones, and waxes.
