Yes, you can straighten your closure hair. However, one should do this very carefully since it can easily damage your closure. Closures are usually made from human or synthetic hair. The method of straightening the hair depends on the type and quality of hair used for making the closure. Here is how to straighten your closure hair safely:
- Check The Hair Type: If your closure is made from human hair, it can withstand heat styling. However, synthetic hair is more delicate and may melt or burn under high heat. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines before applying heat.
- Use Heat Protectant: For human hair closures, apply a heat protectant spray before straightening. This creates a barrier to minimize heat damage and keep the hair healthy.
- Adjust Heat Settings: Use a flat iron with adjustable heat settings. For human hair, set the temperature to a moderate level (around 300-350°F). Avoid excessive heat, as it can weaken the hair fibers.
- Straighten In Sections: Divide the closure into small sections and straighten each one slowly and evenly. Avoid going over the same section repeatedly to prevent overheating.
- Avoid The Lace: Be careful of the lace base of the closure. The lace can be damaged by too much heat, so avoid bringing the flat iron near that area.
- Aftercare: Once you have straightened your closure, use a light serum or oil to add shine and moisture. Store your closure properly to maintain its texture.
By following these steps, you can achieve a sleek, straight look while preserving the longevity of your closure.
