Access Free Tutorial
Learn how different product combinations and styling techniques support each texture according to what it needs—from control and elongation through the natural hair to softer expansion and movement through the extensions.
Why the Styling Routine Matters
The same routine will not create a connected result.
Naturally textured hair can be lighter, flightier and more prone to shrinkage, while YL Textured Extensions carry more density, weight and a different fall. When the same product combination and styling routine are applied across the whole head, the result can look blocky and disconnected.
Throughout the tutorial, Jonina demonstrates how to support each texture differently through intentional product combinations, sectioning, curl clump consistency and diffusing—creating control where it is needed, expansion where it is wanted and beautiful connection between the natural hair and extensions.
What You’ll Discover
Different textures need different support.
Understanding Texture
Learn why lighter, flightier natural hair and extension hair need different product combinations, levels of control and styling support.
Intentional Styling
Discover how saturated hair, intentional product placement, brush direction and sectioning can create elongation, root volume and more consistent curl clumps.
Creating Connection
See how hover diffusing, controlled expansion and finishing techniques help the natural hair transition into the extensions for a beautifully connected, seamless result.
Meet the Experts Behind the Tutorial
A shared routine making textured styling feel less overwhelming.
LOHY. and YL Extensions come together to challenge the one-size-fits-all routine to curly styling, showing how intentional product combinations, sectioning and finishing can support naturally textured hair and YL Textured Extensions according to what each texture needs.
Jonina Menzies
Founder of LOHY. Curly Hair Products & Maiden Hair
LOHY. was born from the real needs of real curls. As a curl specialist with a fully booked salon in regional Australia, Jonina saw it every day... clients leaving the salon with beautiful curls only to struggle at home. They needed more than just styling tips, they needed the right products. LOHY. stands for love and hydration, with a philosophy centred around soft movement, effortless styling routines and making curly systems feel less overwhelming.
Yovanka Loria
Founder of YL Extensions
Yovanka has always believed textured hair deserves the same level of care, education and expertise as every other hair type. Together, Jonina’s curly hair knowledge and Yovanka’s textured extension expertise show how intentional styling can create connection without relying on one blanket application or excessive cutting.
