I was seated across from a woman as we discussed my hair. I was wearing a hybrid sew-in with micro braids in deep curly, despite having it in a ponytail. You could still see the beautiful curls at the end of my ponytail. She starts asking me more about my hair; I tell her it's from Sparkles Hair. She says she will love to get it and follows with, "I love curly hair, but is it low-maintenance?" I immediately respond, " No; Curly hair takes work, and truthfully you would be hard-pressed to find curly hair that doesn't require a bit of maintenance"
As a founder, it was important that I was honest even if it cost a sale. As beautiful as curly hair is, it does take a bit of maintenance. Each curl is intertwined and twisted with the others to get the beautiful curls you see. Because of these curls & coils, it is more prone to tangling. Which can lead to your hair requiring a bit more maintenance to prevent excessive tangling. It's also important to be gentle when detangling to ensure you don't tug and snap the curls. Additionally, depending on your preference, if you love super defined curls. You would have to spend about 10 minutes every morning to refresh the curls that got a bit frizzed up. Another part that scares people is shedding. Unlike straight/wavy bundles, where the shed hair easily slips out, with curly hair, shedding still occurs, but it doesn't slip out. So if you refresh your hair every 1-2 weeks, all the shed hair comes out at once, which can look like excessive tangling. However, it's the same amount with straight/wavy bundles; it has just accumulated.
Now I know at this point you're probably like So what are the benefits of getting curly bundles. Well, let me tell you. As much as curly bundles require a bit of maintenance, they can also be very low maintenance if the extensions match your hair texture. You won't have to go through the process of blending your leave-out everyday. Additionally with this, it's perfect if you don't want to add heat to your hair.

As someone who doesn't love to stress about her hair, I have made curly hair low maintenance for me. Currently have it in a half-wig, and I simply toss it on and go about my day. I share my 20-second morning routine with curly hair. This works for me because a little frizz doesn't bother me; I think it makes it more realistic than perfect curls. If I feel like the frizz is excessive, I refresh it again. Currently on week 3 with no refresh, and I am still loving this look. Last but not least, the curly look is simply irresistible.
