FAQ
WHAT ARE ELF CURLY CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Elf Curly Clip-In Hair Extensions are curly, ready-to-wear extensions made from 100% human hair. Designed with defined, bouncy curls, they blend seamlessly with natural curly or textured hair for a flawless, natural look.
HOW MANY GRAMS ARE IN ONE PACK OF ELF CURLY CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Our Elf Curly Clip-In Hair Extensions are designed for full, bouncy curly volume. The 18" length includes 120g, 20" includes 130g, and 22"/24" include 150g—perfect for achieving soft, defined curls with natural-looking fullness.
HOW DOES THE CURL PATTERN AFFECT THE LENGTH OF ELF CURLY CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Because all lengths are measured when straight, Elf Curls Clip-In Hair Extensions may appear shorter once worn in their natural curly texture. The tighter the curls, the shorter and more voluminous they look.
As a general guide:
- 18" may appear around 16.5"
- 20" may appear around 18"
- 22"/24" may appear around 20"–22"
This is completely normal and part of what gives curly hair its signature fullness and bounce.
HOW DO I WASH MY ELF CURLS CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS?
Wash your clip-ins every 15–20 wears or as needed to remove buildup.
Use a sulfate-free shampoo to gently cleanse the hair.
Apply a moisturizing or curl-friendly conditioner and rinse thoroughly.
Detangle with the included wide-tooth comb while the hair is damp to prevent breakage and protect the curl pattern.
Air dry for the best curl retention or use a diffuser on low heat.
HOW DO I BLEND MY ELF CURLS CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS?
For the best blend, lightly dampen both your natural hair and the extensions before styling. Scrunch the curls upward and twist small sections of your natural hair together with the extensions. This helps them wrap around each other for a seamless, natural-looking finish.
If you have straight or slightly wavy hair, use a small-barrel curling iron (around 8mm) to curl your natural hair before installing. This creates a closer match and helps the extensions blend more naturally.
Pro Tip:
Gently reshape or separate the curls and twist them with your natural hair to enhance definition and achieve a more polished, salon-like blend.

WHY DO MY ELF CURLY CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS LOOK SLIGHTLY FRIZZY WHEN FIRST TAKEN OUT?
It’s completely normal for your Elf Curly Clip-In Hair Extensions to appear slightly frizzy right out of the package. This is due to the natural curly texture and packaging process.
Simply follow the recommended care routine—lightly dampen, condition, and scrunch the curls to bring them back to life. Once styled, the curls will become soft, defined, and ready to wear.
