Hair Stylist & Hair Extensions SpecialistDo your research and use high-quality hair. Don't use the cheapest hair you can get because you pay for what you get. Look at the work of the people who do the extensions. Look at if they're doing clean lines, clean installation, and that they're using high-quality hair. - QuestionDo I have to heat the keratin first, before applying them to my hair?
Community AnswerNo. You have to hold the extensions against your hair and then apply the heat. Heating the keratin on the hair creates a bond that attaches it. You then roll the extension to secure it.
