The amount you leave out depends on the thickness of your hair. Kim says "the leave-out for thick hair would be about an inch and a half wide. The thinner it is, the more you would have to leave out – about three to four inches."

Straight hair extensions are best for women with relaxed hair so there is less maintenance for blending. For any hair, Kim says you should care for it just as you would your own hair. "Our hair can act real strange. The weather can make it change texture."

If your hair is in its natural curl pattern, you can straighten your hair and wrap it. Kim, whose natural hair is very curly, usually opts for a closure piece when wearing straight hair.

You can use a curling iron to blend your hair, but it may fall throughout the day. Kim suggests using the interlock weave technique as a great way to blend both textures. By twisting your leave-out with the extension hair, you can make sure the patterns match. To maintain the blending at night, you can twist the hair and set it in a bun. The technique works whether you have relaxed hair or a natural hair pattern.
