Curly Extensions Before & After

Curly hair extensions are the classic tool in your beauty arsenal that every girlie needs. Whether you have straight or curly natural hair, curly hair extensions look killer on everyone.


Curly hair is often the go-to choice for nights out, special occasions, and important events because of the glamorous vibes a curl gives off.


Celebs like Sabrina Carpenter, JADE, and Zendaya have seriously envy-worthy hair. Why? Because it's curly, bouncy, voluminous and drop-dead gorgeous.


If you want to experience that level of hair beauty that you see on the red carpet, below are our extensions for curly hair before and after!

16" Curly Clip-Ins

This stunning set of extensions is our Deluxe 16" Synthetic Curly Clip-Ins, the shortest length available here at RiRi. Perfect for our girlies with the bobs and lobs.

If you're looking to add a few inches without drastically changing your appearance, this little weft is the one for you.


You'll also welcome insane volume and thickness if that's what you're looking for. We mean, duh, who doesn't want that?


The best part? Like all our extensions, they're available in over 30 shades, so you can easily match them to your natural hair.

Or should we say, we'll easily match them to your natural hair. Did you know we have a totally free colour match service? You do now.

20" Curly Clip-Ins

These sensational Deluxe 20" Curly Clip-In Extensions are our most popular clip-ins out of our entire collection (and they went pretty viral over on TikTok ).


Suitable for short hair, long hair, and everything in between, you can't go wrong with these extensions. Our lovely Niamh Middleton shows us exactly how these beauties look in action above, and we’re in awe of the length and volume this hair adds.

Whether you want to transform your everyday looks or bring together a show-stopping event style, our 20 inchers will be your new bestie.

24" Curly Half-Heads

Our 24" curly clip-on extensions are actually our beautiful half-head pieces in our curly and bouncy styles.


These are best sellers for a reason.


Our Curly Half-Head Extension piece is pre-styled with defined curls for a uniform look, whereas our Bouncy Half-Head Extension piece adorns a curl that's a little looser and relaxed.


Both are just as gorgeous as each other.


They're not as heavy as a wig, but they certainly add more depth and volume than our classic weft extensions. If you're looking for luscious locks, you need one of these, girls.

Wavy Hair Extensions Before & After

Wavy hair is a current trendy style that everyone is loving. And can we blame them? It's super versatile (perfect for wet looks especially), glamorous, and kinda sexy, we have to say.


Celebs like Kim K, Hailey Beiber, and Olivia Rodrigo come to mind when we think about wavy hair, and who wouldn't wanna look like these absolute baddies?


Below is our selection of beaut wavy hair extensions, fit for a mermaid princess! 

22" Wavy Clip-Ins

The soft natural waves of these Brushed Out 22" Wave Clip-In Hair Extensions are the perfect choice if you're looking for a beachy, boho, relaxed kinda vibe .

A 22" hair extension is a stunning length for girlies who don't wanna be too extra but still love their long locks.


And the brushed-out style of these extensions? Simply delish.


If you didn't think that was enough, we also have this beautiful three-piece extension set —the Summer Beach Waves Extensions.

This 230g of hair (yes, really) will give you instant mermaid vibes while adding the most sensational amount of volume and thickness to your natural hair.


The textural style of these gorgeous pieces is enough to make anyone feel 10/10.


The power of wavy hair is no joke. Prepare to feel like your best self yet.

Curly Ponytail Extensions Before & After

A ponytail takes your look to a whole new level. Will it be low, high, half-up, or mid? There are so many options to choose from, and, boy, have we got the selection for you.


A curly ponytail brings that element of full-bodiedness that a straight ponytail just can't achieve. And we love straight ponys. Imagine how much we love a curly-style pony.


Of course, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, and JLo all have that signature curly ponytail look that we all know and love, but how is it done to perfection?


You're about to find out just how a voluminous, bouncy, b-e-autiful ponytail extension will change your actual life. Let us show you what we've got...

18" Curly Ponytail

@ririhairextensions_uk The Belle ponytail🤎✨ product linked below purchase yours now 🛍️#tiktokmademebuyit #fyp #goviral ♬ I Think I Like When It Rains - WILLIS

Our Bella 18" Curly Clip-In Pony is our shortest curly pony , and she's just so cutesy. The bouncy blow-dry effect you'll achieve with this gorg extension is literally insane.

This one is perfect if your natural hair is quite short and you just want to add a little bit of volume and bounce to your ponytail. It'll truly make all the difference.


The best part is that some of our clip-in ponytails, like this one, are installed with a claw clip. This means the actual weft is attached to the clip, so all you need to do is open the clip and close it on your pony.


Genius, right? You'll have amazing hair in a matter of seconds.

22" Curly Ponytail

Our Pia Claw Clip 22" Ponytail Extension is another one with a claw clip installation, so if you fancied taking your locks a bit longer, Pia's your girl.


Imagine having a curly pony that literally never drops its curls. You won't ever look back. Seriously.

24" Wavy Ponytail

Okay, this one has that beachy wavy style like the ones you saw earlier, but this time, in the form of a ponytail.


A Hollywood glam ponytail, if you will.


Introducing our 24" Hollywood Wave Clip-In Ponytail. Isn't she a beaut? The instant length and unstoppable wavy volume this extension provides is straight out of a Hollywood movie.

This is one of our wrap-around pony's, so you'll get that extra oomph of volume at the beginning of your ponytail . It's giving Ariana Grande vibes for sure.

26" Blowdry Ponytail

Last but certainly not least is our insane Mia Sully Wrap-Around Ponytail in a whopping 26". There's nothing like going a bit OTT with your curly pony.


Have you ever tried to do a curly pony on your natural hair, but every time you try, the curls drop out because your hair is too heavy? We've all been there, girls. This ponytail will change all of that.

Not only will you achieve jaw-dropping length with this pony, but you'll also keep your curls all day and all night . No more coming home to limp, lifeless hair. You're welcome.


Wait, wait, wait, you didn’t think that was all, did you? We also have a beautiful 26” ponytail with our handy drawstring application for maximum security.
