A common misconception in the extension world is that tape in extensions only work for women with straight or wavy hair. This belief keeps too many women with naturally curly or coily textures from exploring a method that, with the right approach, works wonderfully for them too. The reality is that tape in extensions are adaptable, and GOO GOO Hair's range of shades, textures, and lengths makes them accessible to a far wider range of women than many people realize.
Straight Hair and Tape In Extensions
Women with naturally straight hair have the easiest path to seamless extension blending. The flat profile of the tape weft lies naturally against straight strands, and the extension hair hangs in the same direction as the natural hair below it.
The main consideration for straight haired women is color matching at the ends, where the transition between natural hair and extension hair is most visible. GOO GOO Hair's hand matched color selection process ensures that color transitions look natural at every point in the strand.
Tape in extensions on straight hair can be worn completely natural or curled for event styling, and the results are consistently beautiful.
Wavy Hair and Tape In Extensions
Wavy hair is arguably the most forgiving texture for extensions because the natural wave pattern hides attachment points effortlessly. Even if an extension weft is slightly visible at the root, the surrounding wave texture provides visual cover.
The challenge with wavy hair is maintaining a conasistent wave pattern between the natural hair and the extension. Because GOO GOO Hair extensions are 100% Remy human hair, they curl and wave exactly as natural hair does when styled with a curling wand or braided overnight for heatless waves.
Getting the Wave Pattern Right
For the most natural result, style your entire head after installation rather than trying to match extension texture to your natural wave. Use a medium barrel curling iron or wand on both your natural hair and the extensions, working in the same direction throughout. The heat safe formulation of GOO GOO Hair extensions holds up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, giving you full flexibility to match any wave pattern.
Curly Hair and Tape In Extensions
Curly hair presents the most unique approach to tape in extensions. The natural curl pattern can actually work in your favor because tight curls provide excellent visual cover for attachment points. However, the texture matching requires more attention.
Hair extensions human hair tape from GOO GOO Hair in their straight or wavy styles can be styled with heat to match a looser curl pattern. Women with tighter curl patterns often use the extensions for straightened styles rather than attempting to match their natural curl texture precisely.
The key for curly haired women is working with a stylist who has specific experience installing extensions on curly hair, as the sectioning and placement differ from the standard approach used for straight hair.

- Always consult with an experienced stylist before your first installation
- Choose lengths that complement rather than overwhelm your natural texture

- Adjust your care routine based on your texture, curly hair needs more moisture
- Do not be afraid to experiment, extensions give you the freedom to try styles you could never achieve with your natural hair alone
