DIY STRAIGHTENING: WHY TRUE + PURE TEXTURE EXTENSIONS ARE YOUR BEST CHOICE
True + Pure Texture uses 100% virgin human hair in their Sasha Curl (deep curl) and Island Curl (loose curl) lines. These curly textures hold up exceptionally well against heat styling, making them ideal for DIY straightening.
Their premium quality means curls bounce back beautifully after straightening, providing long-lasting style versatility without damage.
PREPARE YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS FOR STYLING A CURLY TO STRAIGHT TRANSFORMATION

Start with freshly washed and deeply conditioned extensions. Use sulfate-free shampoos and moisturizing conditioners designed for textured hair. Proper preparation is crucial to ensure hair extensions respond well to heat and stay nourished.
Key Prep Steps:
- Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb or fingers to avoid breakage.
- Apply a leave-in conditioner or lightweight moisturizing product.
- Fully dry the hair before any heat styling to prevent steam damage.
THE DIY STRAIGHTENING PROCESS: STEP-BY-STEP TECHNIQUES
1. HEAT PROTECTION IS A MUST
Apply a generous layer of heat protectant spray throughout your extensions. This step forms a protective shield against heat damage and reduces frizz.
2. SECTION YOUR HAIR FOR CONTROL
Divide extensions into small sections (about ½ inch each). Smaller sections allow for even, efficient heat distribution and reduce excess passes with your flat iron.
3. USE THE RIGHT TOOLS AND SETTINGS
Choose a ceramic or tourmaline flat iron with adjustable heat. Keep temperatures between 300°F–360°F to safely straighten without stripping moisture or loosening the curl pattern irreversibly.
4. BLOW DRY FOR A SMOOTH BASE
Before flat ironing, blow dry sections with a round brush on medium heat. This reduces the time you’ll need for flat ironing, minimizing heat exposure.
5. FLAT IRON SLOWLY AND EVENLY
Gently glide the flat iron from root to tip in one or two slow passes. Avoid going back and forth over the same section multiple times, which can cause damage.
6. FINISH WITH HYDRATION AND SHINE
Seal in moisture post-straightening with a lightweight serum or oil, concentrating on the ends to keep strands looking healthy and glossy.
COMMON DIY MISTAKES TO AVOID
- Straightening damp or wet extensions: Always ensure 100% dryness before applying heat.
- Using excessive heat: Higher temperatures don’t equal better results and increase damage risk.
- Neglecting sectioning: Thick sections lead to uneven heat, frizz, and increased passes.
- Skipping heat protection: Protectants are essential to keep both curls and straight styles vibrant.
- Over-straightening: Give hair breaks between styles to maintain elasticity.

QUICK DIY TIPS FOR STYLING STRAIGHT HAIR EXTENSIONS
- Use silk or satin scarves overnight to maintain your straightened style.
- Refresh your style by lightly misting with water and a leave-in spray; then re-flat iron small sections as needed.
- Avoid heavy products that weigh hair down or attract residue.
