How to Curl Human Hair Extensions
Hair extensions come in a wide range of varieties, including synthetic, human and human blend. When styling your hair, it is important to know whether you have synthetic or human hair, since curling synthetic hair can burn your hair off. Curling human hair extensions is much easier to accomplish.
Things You Will Need:
- Brush
- Spray bottle
- Water
- Heat protectant
- Curling iron
- Blow dryer
- Hair clips
- Hairspray
- Brush out all of the tangles from the extensions in order to prepare the hair to be styled.
- Spray just enough water all over your hair extensions to dampen it slightly.
- Spray heat protectant over the hair extensions, so that the hair lasts longer without becoming damaged from the heat. If a good heat protectant is not used, the cuticles will become damaged and the hair becomes tangled and hard to manage. Allow the hair to air dry.
- Plug in the curling iron so that it can heat properly to the ideal temperature.
- Blow dry the hair extension, if you do not have time to wait for the hair to air dry. Most heat protectants require heat in order to activate the protective features. By blow drying the hair, you are simply activating it prior to applying the curling iron.
- Separate the hair in four sections and use ponytail holders to hold the hair in place that you are not curling at the moment.
- Curl the human hair extensions one section at a time, clipping the hair that is not being curled so that it is out of the way. Repeat with the remaining three sections.
- Brush the hair to loosen the curls if they are too tight. If you want the curls to remain tight, allow the hair to cool down and spray hairspray to maintain the curl pattern.
