To curl hair extensions with heat, especially synthetic ones, use a digital curling iron or flat iron set to a lower temperature (around 300°F, though many go up to 350°F) for the best results.
Here's a breakdown:
- Temperature Control: Digital tools provide precise temperature settings, crucial for preventing damage, especially to synthetic extensions.
- Lower Heat is Key: Synthetic hair is more susceptible to melting or damage from high heat than natural hair. Start with the lowest recommended temperature and increase gradually if needed.
- Traditional Curling Methods: Once you've selected your tool and temperature, curl the hair extension in the same way you would curl natural hair.
