Limit heat styling

Most women usually use heating iron for straightening or curling. But heat styling can weaken the hair and cause breakage to your natural hair as well as the black hair extensions you are wearing, so it is better to use styling irons and blow dryers sparingly. This may be difficult, but it will pay off in the long run. Try to limit them to once a week, and then strive for longer if you can. As an alternative to blow drying, try air drying your hair either in a roller set or wet wrap. To maintain your style until your next wash, wrap your hair in the evening, or use rollers or pin curls to maintain the style. Even steam rollers would be a wiser alternative to heat styling, as they curl the hair using steam instead of dry, direct heat.
