One of the best things about human hair extensions, apart from their gorgeous looks and how easy they are to care for, is that you can style them much like your own hair! Whether you desire Lauren Conrad curls or a poker-straight Megan Fox style, anything is possible with the right tools and a little bit of imagination!
To straighten always use the lowest heat possible so as not to damage your extensions since, just like your own hair, excess heat can make them dry. Try applying a little heat protecting spray or blow-drying cream before you dry your hair after washing, then run the straighteners gently through the lengths, avoiding the bonds or glued areas.
For beachy waves like Ashlee Simpson, simply learn how to plait your hair! By braiding your locks into a simple, three-strand braid (or two if you want a tighter pattern) before bed, you will wake up with silky, mermaid-type waves. Instead of brushing just run your fingers through them with a little serum for shine and sleekness and you're ready to go!
For beautiful LA-style curls, try using a large barreled tong. Start by using a little heat protecting spray or cream to make sure your extensions are in top shape then slowly wind a section of your hair around the barrel. The larger the section, the looser the curl will be so for tighter coils use a smaller amount of hair at a time. Allow the hair to ‘set' for a few seconds then gently pull off the barrel. As with straighteners, avoid contact between the hot barrel and any glues or bonds. Spritz with a little hairspray and you're done!
