Clip-in, Tape and Keratin Hair Extensions for Black Women

What color, texture to get and where do you buy some?

As a proud African American, I was always fascinated by the texture and color of our hair, needless to say, it’s much different from your average European or Asian hair.

Our hair is thicker and harder to style. However, when it comes to buying hair extensions, the choice and color recommendations are somewhat on a shorter side (unless you dye your hair).

Below, we will list some of the color and texture recommendations that should suit most of the black women (myself included):

Hair Colors for African American Hair

#1, also known as Black
#1B, often referred as Off Black
#2, a very dark brown

Hair Textures for African American Hair

Light Yaki vs. Medium Yaki vs. Curly vs. Coarse Yaki

Light Yaki, it looks and feels like straightened hair, silkiest of them all
Medium Yaki, one of the least popular options, which has crimps
Curly, just your average curly hair, pretty self-explanatory
Coarse Yaki, a hair that is very textured and coarse

Clip-in vs. Tape-in vs. Keratin for Black Women
