What is the ideal temperature range for applying heat to bonded extensions?

The ideal temperature range for applying heat to bonded extensions is 250°F to 350°F. This temperature range is optimal because it effectively activates the bonding agent used in hair extensions without damaging the natural hair or the extensions themselves. The heat in this range allows for the bonds to soften sufficiently enough to adhere securely to the natural hair, ensuring a lasting application.

Using temperatures below 250°F may not provide enough heat to activate the bonds, resulting in a weak attachment that can lead to the extensions slipping or falling out. On the other hand, temperatures above 350°F can pose a risk of overheating, which can cause damage to both the human hair and the extensions, potentially leading to breakage or loss of integrity in the hair fibers. Therefore, maintaining the application within the 250°F to 350°F range is essential for achieving successful results without compromising hair health.
