 Yes, You Can — But With Care

100% human hair extensions can handle heat styling, but overdoing it dries out the strands, weakens the hair, and shortens their lifespan. If you love your flat iron, read this first 

Heat Styling Tips for 100% luxury Human Hair Extensions

  1. Always Use a Heat Protectant
    Spray a lightweight, silicone-free heat protectant from root to tip before blow-drying, curling, or straightening.

  2. Keep Temps Low
    Never go above 180°C / 350°F. Extensions don’t self-repair like your natural hair.

  3. Air-Dry When Possible
    Let extensions dry naturally after washing. Blow-dry only when needed.

  4. Limit Heat to 1–2 Times a Week
    Try no-heat styles like braids, flexi-rods, or rollers to give your extensions a break.

Avoid:

  • Daily straightening or curling
  • Applying heat to wet hair
  • Skipping heat protection products

Bonus Tip: Rotate Your Extensions

If you love changing styles, keep two sets and alternate between them to reduce wear and tear.
