Make sure to choose a barrel for your curling iron that is the same size as your own natural hair curls and set it to a medium-high position. Then, you can brush your hair extensions gently to remove tangles and prepare it up for the curls. This is an important step that can’t be missed out.

Step 3: 

After achieving a steady base for your hair extensions, you can either start to curl each lock of hair extensions independently and then apply them to your hair, or you can curl all of the hair extensions together and put the hair extensions set in beforehand. This definitely depends on you. Anyway, we advice you the best way is to hang it on a hair hanger if you decide to curl the wefts before putting them in.

Step 4: 

After curling your hair extensions and attaching it to your natural mane, rake your fingers gently through your locks. You can also use a comb to remove tangles and ensure each wave curl up naturally - whether you're going for soft, large curls for a feminine, night-out vibe or a tighter set.

After drying out your hair extensions, you can now spritz water on your hair extensions and add some oil to keep it as moisturized as your locks.

Step 3: 

Lay out all the wefts and braid it into three small strands. If your natural curls are tight, braid the wefts in small strands; if your curls are loose, braid them in larger strands, so that they will match your natural texture once they dry. Of course, it should match your curls, so if you have kinkier locks, you can go for a smaller strand braid. Meanwhile, loose curls should have larger strands.

Step 4:

Leave your wafts to dry overnight, but you can speed up the process by blow-drying them gently. Just be sure to apply some heat protectant spray to protect your hair extensions.
