Why Natural-Hair Clients Want Kinky Clip-ins
A silky clip-in only blends with natural hair after the client flat-irons her leave-out, which is the heat damage a protective style is meant to avoid. Kinky clip-ins match the hair as it is worn, stretched, curly or coily, so the client clips in and goes. The textures take longer to set and finish than straight hair, and fewer suppliers make them, which is why brands serving Black women in the US, Canada and the UK add them to a natural-hair line.

How to Match a Client's Texture
- 1Compare the client's hair after it's styled the way they usually wear it
- 2For stretched or blown-out hair, choose Kinky Straight or Blowout
- 3For wash-and-go curls, choose Kinky Curly in the closest curl size
- 4For tight coils or twist-outs, choose Coily
We recommend a sample set in 2 to 3 textures to test against your clients' hair. See our Texture Chart.
How to Apply
- 1Part hair horizontally at the nape and flat twist or braid a small section if hair is soft
- 2Clip the widest weft on or just above the twist for extra grip
- 3Work up the head, leaving out enough natural hair to blend over each weft
- 4Finish with a twist-out, braid-out or stretch to blend
Care Tips
- Co-wash every 10 to 15 wears and apply leave-in conditioner
- Detangle with fingers or a wide-tooth comb
- Air dry on a towel or hanger; direct heat loosens the pattern
- Store braided or twisted to keep the pattern

Kinky Clip-ins FAQ
Can clients wash and restyle them?
Yes. Kinky clip-ins can be co-washed, twisted, braided or stretched like natural hair.
Do you offer matching kinky bundles and wigs?
Yes. Our kinky textures are available across bundles, wigs and extensions, so your brand can offer a full natural-hair line.
Can the clip-ins be colored?
Yes. Natural shades can be dyed darker or toned. For blonde, we can make sets in lighter shades on request.
How is the kinky clip-in MOQ counted?
5 sets per color. Each texture in each color counts on its own, for example kinky curly #1B, and lengths can be mixed.
120 g or 160 g sets?
120 g suits shorter lengths and clients who want added length with a natural fullness. 160 g suits longer lengths and clients with thick natural hair who need more hair to blend.
Will the curl pattern last?
The pattern comes back after washing. Heat and bleach loosen it over time, so we suggest clients stretch with low heat and keep color to deposit-only shades.
