7 Burmese Curly Hair Styles to Inspire Your Next Look
1. Deep Side Part Burmese Curly Hair
A deep side part creates a dramatic silhouette by shifting the hair toward one side of the face.
How to achieve the look: Ask your stylist to create a deep side part that allows the curls to fall across the forehead and toward one shoulder. A sew-in with leave-out or a compatible lace installation can be used, depending on your preferred finish.
YUMMY's Raw Burma Curly offers the density needed to create a full side-swept appearance without excessive teasing.

2. Middle Part Burmese Curly Hair
A middle part creates a balanced appearance by allowing the curls to frame both sides of the face.
How to achieve the look: Request a centered part with the curls distributed evenly on each side. For women who prefer minimal natural hair exposure, a matching HD lace closure can create a defined part.
This style is ideal for clients who prefer a consistent hairstyle that transitions easily between professional and casual settings.

3. Flip-Over Burmese Curly Hair
A flip-over hairstyle allows the curls to move from one side to the other without a fixed part.
How to achieve the look: Ask your stylist for a flip-over sew-in with a braid pattern and track placement designed for flexible parting. A small amount of natural hair may be left out to blend with the extensions.
Once installed, gently lift the curls at the roots and direct the hair toward your preferred side. Use your fingers to position the curls across the top of the head, allowing the hair to fall naturally without creating a defined part.
For additional volume, separate and fluff the curls near the crown while maintaining their definition through the lengths.
Unlike a traditional side-part sew-in, which maintains a consistent parting line, the flip-over method allows the hair to be repositioned for different looks.

4. Layered Burmese Curly Hair with Face-Framing Curls 
Layered curls create a more sculpted silhouette by distributing volume across different lengths.
How to achieve the look: Ask your stylist for shorter face-framing pieces with longer layers throughout the back. The cut should be customized to the curls' natural shrinkage and the desired overall shape.
Because Raw Burma Curly features naturally defined ringlets, the hair will appear shorter when curled than when stretched. Your stylist should consider how the curls fall in their natural state before determining where to cut each layer.
For a softer finish, the front layers can begin near the cheekbones or jawline, depending on your face shape and styling preferences.

5. Half-Up, Half-Down Burmese Curly Hair
The half-up, half-down hairstyle combines a secured upper section with curls flowing through the remaining lengths.
How to achieve the look: Begin with YUMMY Raw Burma Curly extensions in their natural curly state. The hair is then blown out to stretch and smooth the original curl pattern before being restyled with a curling wand.
Once the hair has been curled, separate the upper section and secure it into a lifted ponytail, creating height at the crown. Style the remaining hair into large, sculpted curls that fall around the shoulders.
This technique creates a more structured finish than the texture's original ringlets while maintaining fullness throughout the hairstyle.
Although Raw Burma Curly features naturally defined curls, the texture can also be heat-styled to create different finishes, making it possible to achieve looks beyond its original curl pattern.
Always use an appropriate heat protectant and avoid excessive heat to help preserve the hair's natural curl pattern.

6. Burmese Curly Ponytail
A Burmese Curly ponytail creates a polished pulled-back hairstyle while showcasing the texture through the lengths.
How to achieve the look: Begin by smoothing and securing the natural hair into a ponytail at the desired height. Once the foundation is secure, attach the Raw Burma Curly bundles using the wrapped ponytail method, carefully wrapping the wefts around the ponytail base to build length and fullness.
Secure the extensions and conceal the attachment area for a seamless finish. Gently separate and shape the curls to create the desired volume while maintaining their natural definition.

7. Burmese Curly Silk Press
A silk press offers a temporary way to transform Burmese Curly into a smooth, straightened hairstyle.
How to achieve the look: Begin with properly cleansed and conditioned extensions. Apply heat protectant, blow-dry the hair, and straighten in small sections using the lowest effective temperature.
YUMMY's Raw Burma Curly can be heat-styled and is designed to return to its natural curl pattern after washing when properly maintained. However, excessive heat may permanently alter the curls.

What Do You Need to Recreate Your Favorite Burmese Curly Hairstyle?
Once you've found a hairstyle you love, the next step is selecting the right extensions and installation method.
Your desired length, fullness, parting preference, and amount of natural hair exposure will help determine which products are appropriate.
What Makes YUMMY Raw Burma Curly Unique?
YUMMY Raw Burma Curly is made from 100% raw Burmese human hair that is ethically sourced, single-donor, and cuticle-intact.
The texture features naturally occurring 3B–3C-inspired ringlets, full density, and medium-high luster.
Each bundle weighs approximately 3.0–3.5 ounces, and natural variations in curl pattern and color are expected.
These characteristics make the texture suitable for hairstyles that require defined curls and a full silhouette, including side parts, layered cuts, and flip-over installations.
The extensions can also be professionally colored and carefully heat-styled, providing additional options for customization.
Choosing the Right Installation for Your Burmese Curly Hairstyle
The installation method influences how the hair is parted, styled, and maintained.
Burmese Curly Sew-In With Leave-Out
A Burmese curly sew in involves attaching weft extensions to a braided foundation while leaving a small section of natural hair exposed for blending.
This option can work well for traditional side parts, layered hairstyles, and flip-over curls.
For the most seamless appearance, your natural hair should closely complement the extension texture.
YUMMY's Raw Burma Curly blends particularly well with compatible natural 3B–3C curl patterns.

Burmese Curly Sew-In With Closure
A Burmese curly closure covers a designated section at the top of the installation, allowing you to create a defined part without leaving natural hair exposed in that area.
Closures are particularly useful for recreating middle-part hairstyles or consistent side-part looks.
The appropriate closure size depends on the desired parting space and installation.

Burmese Curly Sew-In With Frontal
A Burmese curly frontal extends across the front hairline, offering greater coverage and additional parting flexibility.
This may be appropriate for clients who want to experiment with different parts or certain pulled-back hairstyles.
Frontals generally require more detailed maintenance around the lace and hairline than closures.

Burmese Curly Bundles With Closure: How Many Bundles Do You Need?
After selecting your installation method, determine how much hair you'll need to achieve your preferred length and fullness.
YUMMY provides the following general recommendations for Raw Burma Curly weft extensions.
|
Hair Length |
General Bundle Recommendation |
|
12–14 inches |
2 or more bundles |
|
16–18 inches |
3 or more bundles |
|
20–24 inches |
4 or more bundles |
|
26 inches and longer |
5–6 or more bundles |
These recommendations apply to weft extensions. The number of bundles needed may vary depending on your desired density, head size, and whether you're pairing the bundles with a closure or frontal.
For example, a full, layered installation may require more hair than a style with a lighter overall density. A lace closure or frontal may also affect how many wefts are needed to complete the installation.
YUMMY extensions are measured when pulled straight, so curly lengths may appear shorter when worn in their natural state.
Before purchasing, review the available lengths on the Raw Burma Curly product page and consult your stylist to confirm your installation requirements.
Colored Burmese Curly Hair: Styling Inspiration
Color offers another way to personalize your chosen hairstyle.
Espresso Brown: A deep shade that creates a subtle alternative to natural black.
Chocolate Brown: A warm brown tone that complements layered curls and side-part styles.
Honey Brown Highlights: Light-catching accents that can emphasize face-framing pieces.
Caramel Balayage: Dimensional color placement that adds brightness through the lengths.
YUMMY's Raw Burma Curly can be professionally colored, but chemical processing may affect its condition and curl definition.
For significant color transformations, work with an experienced colorist familiar with raw hair extensions.
How to Maintain Burmese Curly Hair and Protect Your Investment
Once your hairstyle is installed, a consistent care routine helps preserve the curls' softness, definition, and overall appearance.
1. Co-Wash Approximately Three Times Per Week
YUMMY recommends co-washing curly textures approximately three times per week, adjusting based on wear and product buildup.
Divide the hair into manageable sections, thoroughly wet each section, and apply a moisturizing conditioner.
Work through the curls gently before rinsing to remove buildup while maintaining moisture.
2. Deep Condition Regularly
Apply a moisturizing deep conditioner to help maintain softness and manageability.
Allow the treatment to sit for approximately 15–30 minutes, or according to the product instructions, before rinsing thoroughly.
Deep conditioning is especially helpful when the curls begin to feel dry or difficult to detangle.
3. Detangle While the Hair Is Wet
Separate the hair into sections and use your fingers, a wide-tooth comb, or an appropriate detangling brush.
Begin at the ends and work upward toward the roots.
Avoid aggressively brushing dry curls, as this can disrupt definition and contribute to frizz.
4. Refresh the Curls Between Washes
Lightly dampen the hair with water and apply a suitable lightweight moisturizing product.
Gently reshape the curls with your fingers or a detangling brush while wet.
Allow the hair to air-dry when possible, or use a diffuser on an appropriate setting.
5. Protect the Hair Overnight
Before bed, loosely secure the curls in a high ponytail, braid, or twist to reduce tangling.
Use a satin bonnet, scarf, or pillowcase to minimize friction while sleeping.
Avoid sleeping with wet extensions, and ensure the hair and braided foundation are properly dried after washing.
