Once all the extensions are attached, gently comb through your hair to blend your natural hair with the hair extensions.
Use Insert Waves Here first to match the wave pattern. The longer the hold & higher heat the deeper the wave, but test gradually and keep in mind the suggested temperatures for each hair type listed below.
Fine, thin, or damaged hair: 320-340 ℉
Normal, medium, healthy hair: 340-360 ℉
Thick, coarse, curly hair: 360-430 ℉
450℉ setting is recommended for professional use.
2. Secure the back of your natural hair
Use INH BB pins to secure it, this will help you create a more blended, natural look.
