Lavy Hair Extensions
Price Point: $$ ($31-$275)
An Instagram favorite, China-based Lavy provides high-quality tresses at a fraction of the cost! While the company boasts an expansive list of hair for choosing, we highly recommend the natural textures: Kinky Curly and Kinky Straight, as they offer seamless blends. Moreover, due to its already kinky state less heat is required while styling leave-outs. And who doesn’t jump for joy at the thought of that? Breakage is real!
