Straightening your hair can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you have a lot of hair to work with. However, what about hair extensions? How can you make hair straightening easy with extensions? For this, you need to have high-quality hair extensions. Moreover, the method of hair straightening matters as well. A simple flat ironing may be easier, but if you have the right hair extensions and an experienced stylist, you can also get Brazilian keratin straightening<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

Hair Straightening With Extensions On<\/h1>\n

The first method of straightening your extensions is with the extensions already in the hair. This method is fast and takes about 30 minutes<\/em> tops. You don\u2019t even need to prep anything and it will give you amazing results in the end. So, here is a step-by-step guide on how to straighten the hair when extensions are already in them.<\/p>\n

Gently Brush The Hair<\/h2>\n

Firstly, you\u2019ll need to brush your hair out, to ensure that there aren\u2019t any kinks or knots in the hair. You don\u2019t want any kind of tugging to take place, because this can loosen the extensions.<\/p>\n

Apply A Heat Protectant<\/h2>\n

Next, you\u2019ll need to apply a heat protectant to your hair. Focus it more on the length of the hair rather than the roots, because you don\u2019t want your hair to be oily. Once the heat protectant is applied, give your hair a final brush, while also plugging the straightener to get it nice and hot, ready for straightening<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Section The Hair<\/h2>\n

Now, you will divide your hair into 4 to 6 sections, depending on how thin or thick the hair is. This will make straightening a lot easier and you\u2019ll be done in no time.<\/p>\n

Straighten The Hair<\/h2>\n

Use a thin comb and put the straightener parallel to the strand of the hair, run it over the hair until you reach the tip. You also want to go over the roots, but not too much, as the heat can damage the extensions and the fusion part of the extensions.<\/p>\n

Once a strand is straightened, brush it out, push it to one side, and repeat until all of the hair is straightened. You can also touch up your roots one final time<\/em> before turning the straightener off.<\/p>\n

Hair Spray<\/h2>\n

Once your hair is straightened, you\u2019ll need a hair spray. You need to point it a bit far from your head and then you\u2019ll spray the hair spray on the hair in a light mist. This will ensure that all of the hair is in place and the style is settled in so that it will last longer.<\/p>\n

Once that is done, you can give your hair a final brush and run your fingers through the extensions and that\u2019s pretty much it. You have beautiful, sleek, and voluminous hair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Straightening Before Putting On Hair Extensions<\/h2>\n

The next method of straightening your hair is without the extensions in it. This is a 2-step process and it can also be done the night before so that you have your straightened extensions ready to go and you can apply them in the morning. This process does require a bit of prep beforehand, so that\u2019s something you need to keep in mind. Here is what you need to do in this process.<\/p>\n

Straighten Your Extensions<\/h3>\n

For this, you\u2019ll need to hang the extensions securely over a coat hanger or even a hair extension holder. Once they\u2019re dangling from the hanger, you can plug on your straightener and spray the extensions with a bit of heat protectant spray<\/em>. This technique works best for Remy or human hair extensions since synthetic hair extensions<\/a> can get damaged by straightening, so if you have real human hair extensions, then you can make this trick work.<\/p>\n

Anyways, you will run the straightener over the hair and you also want to make sure that there aren\u2019t any kinks in the extensions either, so brushing them out beforehand will do wonders.<\/p>\n

Once this is done, your extensions are ready to go. All you need to do now is let them hang on the hanger until you\u2019re ready to apply them on the head.<\/p>\n

Straighten Your Hair<\/h3>\n

The next step in this process is straightening your hair. This is pretty easy and self-explanatory. All you need for this is a heat protectant and hair straightener, along with a comb to make the hair look sleek after straightening.<\/p>\n

You will spray on the heat protectant on the hair and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes<\/strong>. This is going to make a barrier for your hair and it will protect it from the shock of heat. Once that is done, you\u2019ll also need to set the straightener in close vicinity, so that it can get warm enough.<\/p>\n

Once the hair and the straightener are ready, you\u2019ll need to run the straightener over your hair, which is divided into sections and then you\u2019ll go over another time to ensure that the hair is nice and straight. Try to go at a decent speed. You don\u2019t want to be too slow or fast, because that can end up damaging your hair and you don\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n

Once all of the hair is straightened, you can turn off the straightener and then take a comb with a bit of hair spray spritzed on the bristles and run it through the hair that\u2019s just been straightened. This is going to give your hair that professional and sleek look<\/em> and it will look like you\u2019ve gotten your hair done from the salon.<\/p>\n

Finally, spritz a medium hold hair spray on the hair and run your fingers through it and you\u2019re ready to slay your hair out and about.<\/p>\n

Straightening Hair Extensions Using A Blow Dryer<\/h2>\n

This method is healthier for the hair and it\u2019s a great alternative if you\u2019re looking for ways to straighten your hair without using too much heat. It\u2019s with a blow dryer and a hair serum. Here\u2019s how you can do it:<\/p>\n

Wash And Dry The Extensions<\/h3>\n

You will start with your hair extensions that haven\u2019t been applied to the hair. You\u2019ll wash them and let them sit on the towel for a bit. You don\u2019t want them to be sopping wet.<\/p>\n

Apply A Hair Serum<\/h3>\n

Once that is done, you\u2019ll apply a bit of hair serum on the extensions. You don\u2019t need a lot. Just a tad to get the extensions nice and slick. You\u2019ll apply the serum while the hair extensions are still wet.<\/p>\n

Use A Blow Dryer<\/h3>\n

Then, you need a blow dryer on cool heat setting and with a brush, you\u2019ll brush the extensions out until they\u2019re dry and straight. This method does require a bit of back and forth. However, you\u2019ll get there and your extensions will be straight without any heat tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Put The Extensions On<\/h3>\n

Once the extensions are straightened, you can apply them to your already-straightened hair. This method works best if you straighten the extensions separately. This is going to ensure that you\u2019re not tugging on your real hair too much. Finally, apply the extensions and brush them out one last time and you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h4>\n

Straightening your hair that too with hair extensions never sounded this easy. These ways will help you get sleek and straight hair along with the volume you want. If you have hair extensions on and you want to get a permanent hair straightening treatment done, make sure you get human hair extensions from a hair extensions salon Rockville<\/a> first before considering any treatment. However, if you want to be on the safe side, you can straighten your hair first and then buy hair extensions of the same texture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
