Can I Make Cuban Twist Hair Match My Texture?

[Vshanell]

Just looking for opinion/ideas. I've been despirately wanting to make some curly clip ins to add color to my hair. I'm bored with my hair and I don't want to dye it. It's too fragile. Im thinking I can roll the twist hair in a perm rod the size of my curls and dip in in hot water?

Any ideas welcome, or hair recommendations (cheap please lol). I'm not paying $100 for these clip ins everyone is doing vids on lol.

Do you have pics of your hair and the Cuban twist hair?

Sally's sells the clips for $1 or $2. I usually make my own clip ins by sewing hair or wefts on the clips. Great idea btw

Yes what does your hair look like

My hair is a mix of 3b/c and it's fine so Cuban twist might be too coarse.

Thanks. I've attempted clip ins before but I was lazy and used glue lol

This is Cuban twist hair. I've seen people curl this and Marley hair and it silkens out a lot. I just want some color added to my hair and I'm clueless what kind of hair to get. I'm not willing to pay a lot cuz I already put enough into my hair care lol.

Rods might work, but I think the texture of your hair is silkier than the Cuban twist hair, no? If so, just dip it in boiling water for a few secs, unrolled. That will make it silkier. Then, roll it and re-dip.

Yes it is silkier and finer. Thanks for that tip! Any idea what size rods? I have some perm rods but they are too big of a curl.

I saw these on eBay and I think they look pretty close to my hair. They don't have purple like I want though.

Let me ask you, do you already have the hair? Cuz if not, you could just buy some (cheaper ) bulk braiding hair and curl that. Close to your texture and one less step.

Rod size? I'm honestly not sure bc, when I do it, I use 1.5-2" flexis. You should be able to find that info on yt, tho. Or, you could just start a new thread called "What size rods make 3 b/c curls?"

Can you dye them?
