Whats the best way to wash and straighten real hair extentions?

i have hair extentions but i'm not sure how to wash or straighten them, please can you help ? thanks'xWhats the best way to wash and straighten real hair extentions?
Well since they're real hair and not synthetic crap...you can treat them like your own hair, just be gentle when it's wet and maybe use some detangling spray when styling.Whats the best way to wash and straighten real hair extentions?
Washing:


If they are fusion you can wash with your normal shampoo but be extremely gentle and wash it no more than twice a week.


If they are glued, absolutely no conditioner anywhere near you scalp. You can run A LITTLE conditioner near the ends, that's it!


Straightening:


Gently towel blot your hair.


Gently use your fingers and a blow dryer just to remove the bulk of the moisture.


With a flat paddle brush starting from ends to scalp gently on high heat blow dry your hair, staying at least 3 inches away from the scalp depending on where extensions start.


If it is not straight enough you can use a ceramic straighter again on high and avoiding three inches from the scalp.





Big Hint!


Just because it's human hair does not mean it's not processed! It is treated for lice per federal law and almost all hair is color treated hence the need to be so gentle with it.





Big Hint #2!


Always use as cold of water as possible to help keep the glue in tact, preserve color and keep the hair shiny.
It depends what kind of extensions you have?? Are the the glued in kind or are the individual strands? If they are the glued in kind they really suck. Be careful not to use a lot of conditioner or oily crap on your hair. It will melt the glue after about a week and they will start falling out. Plus removing hair extesions isnt fun either, can be quite painful depending upon how much glue you have stuck in your hair. Have fun.
you pretty much wash and straighten them just like normal hair just a little bit more gentel. like dont scrunch your hair all up on your head when you wash them. and when straightening there nothing you really need to do. umm...also when you brush your hair do it gently and your extentions will last a lot longer. i had hair extentions and this is how i took care of them and they lasted forever.
