When I first experimented with my own Foxy Locks, I was both excited and a little nervous. I wanted that silky, runway ready finish - but I worried about damaging my extensions. If you’ve ever felt the same, trust me, you’re not alone. We’ve all stood there with straighteners in hand, unsure of where to start!
Here’s the good news: you can straighten your extensions safely - and we’ll show you exactly how. Think of this guide as your step by step companion for smooth, healthy looking locks, straight from the Foxy Locks team.
At Foxy Locks, we believe styling should be joyful, not stressful. Our extensions are designed to give you freedom - the ability to transform your look whenever you like. Whether you’re wearing Seamless Clip Ins, luxurious Tape Ins, or a bouncy Ponytail, your Foxy Locks are crafted to move naturally with you, reflecting your style, energy, and confidence.
Every set is made from premium Remy human extensions - soft, glossy, and heat friendly - which means yes, you can straighten them just like your own. With a little care and the right technique, they’ll stay looking beautiful for months.
Can You Straighten Extensions?
Absolutely. Our Remy extensions are designed to be styled - curled, waved, or straightened - while staying soft and natural.
Before styling, we recommend applying a heat protectant spray and keeping the straightener on a lower temperature. Think of your extensions like silk: delicate, beautiful, and deserving of care.
Synthetic alternatives may lose shine or melt under heat, but Foxy Locks extensions are made for real life – long lasting, radiant, and ready to make you feel confident every day.
How to Straighten Your Extensions
There are two simple ways to get a sleek finish:
- Straighten your extensions before applying.
- Straighten them while installed.
The right method depends on the type you’re wearing.
Straightening Extensions Before Applying
Best for: Seamless Clip Ins and Ponytails.
This method gives you full control and an even, polished look.
Step 1
Start with freshly washed, completely dry extensions. Our Foxy Locks Shampoo and Conditioner nourish each strand, leaving them soft and ready to style.
Step 2
Hang your extensions on a holder or hanger and gently brush to remove tangles.
Step 3
Spritz with heat protectant and let it absorb. Glide your straighteners down each section slowly, one weft at a time. Patience is the key to a flawless, smooth finish.

Straightening Extensions Before Applying
Straightening Extensions While Installed
Best for: Tape Ins or Sewn Ins.
If your extensions are already in, this method helps achieve a seamless, natural blend.
Step 1
Brush through gently and apply heat protection.
Step 2
Divide your locks into sections. More sections are needed for thicker sets.
Step 3
Starting from the bottom, straighten small sections slowly from root to tip. Repeat until your full look is sleek, soft, and glossy.
Straightening with a Blow Dryer
For a soft, bouncy finish, try blow drying instead of straightening.
Step 1
Wash, towel dry, and apply heat protection. Rough dry until slightly damp.
Step 2
Section and secure your locks.
Step 3
Use a round or paddle brush while following the nozzle downward. Smooth, steady airflow creates a polished, salon ready finish.
Step 4
Finish with a cool shot and a few drops of serum or luxury oil for mirror like shine.
