Why can't synthetic hair extentions be curled with a curling Iron?

I plan on having (glued in) extentions in my hair on my wedding day but now I am hearing that you can't curle with and iron. Why is this, and what will happen if you do? What kind of hair can I use an Iron on?

Synthetics are sometimes made of a form of plastic and will melt with heat.

Because synthetic hair extensions are made from plasctic and they will melt

Synthetic is the key word. It's not real hair so it has little or no tolerance to heat styling. You can however get curly extensions. They also have real human hair extensions but I would still be afraid of trying it because they are more expensive.

Synthetic hair is usually made out of plastic, believe it or not. Like any plastic material it melts under extreme heat conditions, this includes curling irons. Human hair can melt and burn from curling irons also, but at a much slower rate. The advantages to using synthetic hair, is that it is generally less expensive. It also tends to tangle a bit less, because it does not have a cuticle on the hair shaft. I would not suggest that you get a bonded weave on your wedding day. It will be harder to manipulate if you do not like the style. With human extensions you can style it almost the same as your natural hair. I hope this helps. Congratulations on your engagement!!!

think of it like Barbie hair. It will melt. Next time, try human hair.

I get mine at one of those discount beauty supply stores and pay only 40 bucks for the longest human hair. Then, I take it to my stylest to get put in.

I can curl it and brush it just like normal hair. My stylest doesn't charge much to put it in because she's not paying for the hair as well.

Good luck!!! : )

hi.

synthetic hair extentions cant be curled cos' it isnt flimsy enough to get the style you wanted. synthetic hair gets damaged easily and you'll probably fry the extentions out if you ever do curl or iron them, cos' it aint all real unlike our real hair, cos' our real hair is hydrated that can handle a lil bit of heat, but for synthetic hair, its not hydrated so it burns easily. just be careful and take precautions of this.

you should've gotten the 100% human hair extentions, it costs a bomb to get them done though. but, you can maintain them like you're real natural hair, you can shampoo them with your normal shampoo, but just make sure you go easy on the conditioner so that the stubs that are attached to your real hair wont get loose.

hope this helps!

congrats for gettin married soon! hope you'll have a great wedding, though!
