You don't have to do that, just use bio silk hair serum to maintain the hair.

No that is not normal, I flat iron, curled and dyed this hair without it melting.

No that isn't normal. I didn't have that problem with my hair. That usually means that some pieces of plastic filler were added to the hair and it's not 100% human hair.

no that is not normal that sounds like synthetic hair you should read over your order and make shore that it is virgin malaysian hair

Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron. I took a chance and bought the Conair YOU flat iron....while it doesn't get super hot (two settings hi-lo)...it has "plates" that curve around the sides which seem to deal well with the rough ends issue. It works best if you've straightened your hair with a round brush and hair dryer first....which is what I typically do. If you're going from wavy to straight the Conair You won't be hot enough. The Infinity Pro I ended up returning it was awful. Here's the link to the other if you want to check it out :) Conair YOU Style Straightener Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron.

This is a flat surface, but I can use a straightening iron to put some slight curl in my hair. It just takes a curving pull on the iron through the hair.

So far! My wife uses the curling iron and hair dryer and puts them back hot. No discoloring or melting that can be seen.

You can get a small flat iron at WalMart or a local drug store--will plug in and heat up, squeezes together, the inside or heated sides are flat. My iron came with the first batch I ordered,which were not these. I ordered these because I already had the flat iron from the other batch. They should be in the hair & beauty section--ask a sales person. cer

These flat irons get super hot (450 degrees)and therefore takes less time than most flat irons to straighten hair. Use them on a lower heat setting or infrequently so you won't have breakage like I did using them daily (stupid I know). They're too thin to straighten large portions of hair at a time plus a large section won't straighten like a small one would. So no, no large portions at a time.

Mine isn't exactly heat-resistant. After washing, I was unsure if the curls would bounce back but they did. There were a few that seemed....flat, so I tried out my curling iron on its lowest setting and it didn't go so well. It didn't flat out melt, but it did somewhat heat it into a tangled clump.

No, it should just be a white cream, very smoooth and dissolves well in the hair, it must have been exposed to some heat.

It FRIED when I straightened it. And I straightened It on the lowest lowest heat. I looked like dead hair after I straightened it. And brushing gently or not d u didn't matter it just made it a little Poofy after you brushed it

I have in between hair it left it kind of straigt but not as straight with a regular size flat iron. I think since you the heat is set at some random temp. It did not help taming any frizz

Try a lower heat. Most flat irons are too hot but there are some that have adjustable heat settings

You can create some curls or waves with this flat iron, but it would be a slight rather than tight, depending on how you work it. The great thing about this flat iron is that the long handle and plates doesn't cramp my hand. You can adjust the temperature to suit your hair needs. It also has a handy sheath as you can store it while it's still cooling and not worry about melting anything nearby.

I have straight hair and have never used a Flat Iron so I really don't know- it doesn't get very hot. I would say no! If it were a substitute for a flat iron I'm sure the manufacturer would state that in the description.

I had no problem using a flat iron, it does not take much heat. I do not know what setting however, I own a CHI straightener and it is one setting and works really well with these hair extensions. I would recommend maybe moving the flat iron faster through the extension. Hope this helps.

If your hair is color treated then your flat iron should be fine for it. Just be sure to go over each piece several times combing it straight and tangle free between hot iron passes. If your hair is virgin, you may need a flat iron that gets a bit hotter. Perhaps you can borrow one from a friend for a day.

I don't know exactly what went wrong here but I experienced the sane thing in the front of my hair . I am assuming either I left it in too long or I shouldn't have straighten so close to my roots since the product straightens the roots already . It could be flakes from scalp burning .

I would ask your hairdresser. Using this product without a professional is a mistake. I used this product with my hairdresser applying it. It worked great BUT after about 3 month my hair started breaking and falling out. You might want to find an alternative like the wrap method. Keratin will damage your hair as well. Flat irons r better just get a good one and find out what heat setting you need. Once again ask your hair stylist. Flat irons don't change the hair a chemical will damage your hair guaranteed.
