YL Online Education
Most stylists treat curly and straight extensions the same. Thats exactly where results fall apart. Created by one of Australia's first textured hair extension brands, the Straight VS Curly tutorial shows you exactly how consultations, texture selection, colour matching, cutting, and aftercare changes when the texture does.

Why learn from Yovanka Loria?
We are one of the first brands in Australia to specialise in and offer textured weft hair extensions. After years of working with both straight and curly extensions, we noticed the same mistake happening over and over again. Most stylists were approaching curly installs the same way they approached straight installs. Now, we're sharing what we have mastered.
What's included
Curly installs are NOT the same as straight hair… from placement and tension, to the way curls naturally expand, move and blend. Most stylists go on autopilot and use the same approach for every hair type, but the consultation, colour match, cutting and aftercare all change depending on the texture. This tutorial shows you exactly what changes, and why it matters for seamless results.
