First, the good news: Kanekalon™ extensions are heat-resistant, so you can use all your favorite heat styling tools without worrying about damage. Whether you're straightening or curling, we've got the tips you need to slay your new look.
Straightening
To start, grab a Tempro™ flat iron and set it to low heat to prevent any damage to your extensions. Remember to use a heat protectant spray to shield your tresses from heat damage.
Before straightening, make sure your extensions are free of tangles by gently combing through them with a wide-toothed comb. This will not only help to prevent breakage but will also make the straightening process much easier.
With your Tempro™ flat iron in hand, take small sections of your extensions and slowly glide the iron down the length of the hair, ensuring that you keep the iron moving to avoid overheating and frying your extensions. And voila! You now have gorgeously straightened Kanekalon™ hair extensions that are sure to turn heads.
Curling
With so many ways to curl your Kanekalon™ extensions, it's normal to feel a bit lost in a sea of options. But fear not, gorgeous! We're here to spill all the tea on how to curl your hair extensions like a pro.
For a heatless option that's gentle on your extensions, try using the Heatless Halo® Curler. Simply wrap your extensions around the curler, spray them with water, and then leave them until they’re dry! When you're ready to take them out, you'll have gorgeous, natural-looking curls that are perfect for any occasion.
If you prefer to use a curling iron, the process can be a bit more complex, but the results are totally worth it! Section off your hair into small, manageable sections. Take a section of your hair extensions and wrap it around the curling iron, starting from the top and working your way down to the ends. Hold the iron in place for a few seconds before releasing the curl.
After curling each section, clip the curl in place to allow it to fully cool. This step is crucial as it helps to set the curl and ensures that it will last longer throughout the day.
Once all sections are curled and clipped, let them sit for a few minutes to fully cool down. After that, carefully remove the clips and gently run your fingers through your curls to loosen them up and create a natural-looking style.
Pro tip: For a more voluminous look, try curling your extensions in different directions. Alternate between curling towards your face and away from your face to create a natural-looking, tousled style.
For a vintage or retro vibe, try using hair rollers to curl your Kanekalon™ hair extensions. Roll them up onto the rollers, spray them with water, leave them to dry, and then remove the rollers for stunning, bouncy curls that are sure to turn heads.
So whether you prefer heatless curlers, curling irons, or hair rollers, there's a curling method that's perfect for you and your Kanekalon™ hair extensions. Get ready to show off your fabulous curls, gorgeous!
With these tips, you can take your hair game to the next level. Remember to use low heat when straightening and curling, and use a heat protectant spray. Detangle your extensions with Tangle Tamer™ Brush before styling, and consider using a heatless curler or hair rollers for a natural-looking curl.
In cleaning and styling your extensions, use gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, and avoid harsh chemicals or styling products. Proper storage in a cool, dry place is also important to prevent tangling and damage.
