But here’s the real beauty of Burma Curly Hair Extensions: No matter how many times you silk press, flat iron, or blow out this texture, with the right care, it always reverts back to its natural, bouncy curls. If you’ve ever been afraid to straighten your luxury hair extensions out of fear they won’t return to their original pattern, this guide will walk you through how to safely press out your Burma Curly extensions and restore them back to their natural curl pattern without damage. 

The Versatility of Burma Curly Hair Extensions

Step 1: Prepping for the Silk Press – Protect Your Curls First 

Before straightening any curly raw hair extensions, proper preparation is key to maintaining the integrity of the curl pattern. Without the right prep, high heat can loosen curls over time. Here’s how to get started: 

 

1. Cleanse and Deep Condition Your Extensions

Start with a clean base! Straightening tangle-free hair extensions over product buildup, oil, or residue can cause unnecessary heat damage.
  • Use a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo to gently cleanse the hair.
  • Follow with a deep conditioner to restore moisture and protect the strands from drying before heat styling.
  • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and detangle using a Denman brush. 

 

2. Apply a Heat Protectant 

To maintain the longevity of your Burma Curly Hair Extensions, you need a high-quality heat protectant spray or serum. 

  • Apply evenly throughout the hair to create a barrier between the strands and the heat. 

  • Opt for a lightweight, non-greasy formula to avoid weighing down the hair. 

 

3. Blow Dry with the Right Tools 

A great silk press starts with an efficient blowout. 

  • Blow-dry in small sections, using a round brush or paddle brush to stretch out the curls. 

  • Keep the heat on medium to high and always blow dry downward to prevent frizz. 

 

Step 2: How to Properly Flat Iron Burma Curly Hair Extensions 

Now that your long-lasting hair extensions are prepped and dry, it’s time to silk press for a sleek, straight finish! 

 

1. Section Your Hair for a Flawless Silk Press 

  • Part your hair into 4 to 6 sections for easier manageability. 

  • Clip away sections you aren’t working on to keep everything organized and tangle-free. 

 

2. Choose the Right Flat Iron 

Using the right tool makes all the difference! 

  • Set the heat to 380-450°F, depending on the density of the hair. 

  • If you have finer strands, opt for a lower setting to prevent heat damage. 

 

3. Use the Chase Method for a Sleek Finish 

The chase method is the best technique for getting that bone-straight look while using the least amount of passes over each section. 

  • Take a fine-tooth comb and place it in front of the flat iron. 

  • As you slowly glide the flat iron down the section, chase it with the comb to ensure every strand is smooth and silky. 

 

4. Lock in the Shine 

Once fully straightened, finish off with a lightweight serum or shine spray to keep the hair sleek and frizz-free. 

Step 3: Bringing Your Burma Curls Back to Life 

The beauty of Burma Curly Hair Extensions is that they always revert back to their natural texture with proper care. If you’re ready to bring your curls back after rocking your straight look, follow these steps: 

 

1. Cleanse & Hydrate 

  • Start by wetting the hair with lukewarm water to begin activating the curl pattern. 

  • Use a moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse any product buildup. 

 

2. Apply a Deep Conditioner for Curl Restoration 

After straightening, your premium hair extensions need intense hydration to restore elasticity. 

  • Apply a rich, hydrating deep conditioner and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. 

  • For best results, use a steamer or heat cap to allow deeper moisture penetration. 

 

3. Detangle & Define Your Curls 

  • While the conditioner is in, use a Denman brush or wide-tooth comb to detangle from ends to roots. 

  • This helps encourage the natural curl pattern to spring back. 

 

4. Rinse & Scrunch for Extra Definition 

  • Rinse out the conditioner using cool water to seal the cuticle. 

  • While the hair is damp, scrunch the curls with your hands to help enhance definition. 

5. Diffuse or Air Dry 

You can let your curls air dry or use a KOSA Blow Dryer with a diffuser attachment to speed up drying while keeping frizz to a minimum.
