How to straighten hair extensions easily and quickly at home

You can straighten hair extensions or any styling method with real human hair extensions just like you can with your own hair. If you’re still confused about straightening hair extensions for fear of damaging it, don’t worry – you can straighten hair extensions at home very quickly and easily.

Things to note before you straighten hair extensions

Before you straighten hair extensions, there are a few things that you must pay attention to if you don’t want to damage them.

• First, make sure your extensions can withstand the heat. There are ways to curl your extensions without using heat, but if you straighten hair extensions, heat is almost mandatory.

• The quality of the extension is very important when you straighten hair extensions that have large curls. Afro curly hair, for example, is frequently wavy. This means that it is very difficult to return to its original curly state if you straighten hair extensions.

• Other styles, such as bouncy or big curly hair extensions, will easily return to their curly state. Water is usually all that is required to restore these textures to their previous form.

When it comes to hair extensions, make sure you already know them. You don’t want to damage hair extensions by straightening them, especially if you only want to straighten hair extensions momentarily before going back to curls.

You can straighten hair extensions separately with temporary hair extensions such as clip-in hair extensions, quad weft, ponytail wrap,…

• Step 1: Before you straighten hair extensions, you need to prepare it. Clean your extensions with mild shampoo and conditioner. Gentle conditioners  and shampoos specifically for human hair wigs and extensions are always the best choice. Blow-drying the extensions while combing reduces the amount of heat used throughout the straightening process. If you’re going to use a tumble dryer, make sure it’s on a chilly setting.

• Step 2: Apply heat protectant (spray or gel) to the extension and let it dry after hanging it on a hook, such as a clothes hanger or something similar.

• Step 3: Preheat your iron/flatter for a few minutes to get it hot enough before you straighten hair extensions. Make portions with the hair. Take a tiny part and run it through with a flat iron from top to bottom. Move the flat iron through each part again and again until it is straight and smooth.

• Step 4: Carry on with the rest of the hair extensions in the same manner. It’s important to remember that when you straighten hair extensions, you should keep the straightener moving and not stop at a specific point, as this will severely damage the straightened hair.

Use a comb with little front teeth that are flat and comb them through your hair to straighten hair extensions easier. During the straightening process, this will keep the hair stretched.

Straighten hair extensions mixed with natural hair instruction

Permanent hair extensions, such as tape/tip-in, micro link, micro beads…. are not removable to straighten separately. This means you will need to straighten hair extensions at the same time as your natural hair.

• Step 1: The first thing is still to clean the hair to be ready to straighten hair extensions. Blow-dry and smooth the hair gently.

• Step 2: Heat must be protected from both the natural hair and the hair extensions. Apply heat protectants to your hair by spritzing or gelling your hair.
• Step 3: Preheat your iron/flatter for a few minutes to get it hot enough before you straighten hair extensions. The simplest method is to straighten hair extensions up and down. Take a portion of hair from the nape of the neck and clip the remainder of it up to avoid a tangle. Divide the hair below the neck into 2 sections and leave it in front.

• Step 4: Take a part of the hair that you split earlier and straighten hair extensions and natural hair from the top down. Repeat a few times to straighten your hair.
• Step 5: Do the same layer by layer from the bottom up. When you reach the top of your ears, start parting your hair along the middle part. Straighten the first strand of hair from your left temple. Continue in the same manner, then move to the right.

Using an iron so close to your scalp can be dangerous, so if you’re not used to it, ask someone to straighten hair extensions for you. You shouldn’t straighten your hair every day because it’s easy to damage your hair extensions from the heat and they won’t stretch you as long as you’d like.

• Step 2: A modest amount of hair smoothing serum should be used. Brush the extensions and natural hair (if applicable) gently to ensure the curls are free of knots and tangles.

• Step 3: Now turn on the dryer and set it to the cold setting to finish drying your hair. If you don’t want to acquire a cold, take off your jewelry before you straighten hair extensions.
