Some KANEKALON fibers are heat-resistant.
For example, hair attachments using the KANEKALON “futura” series and “Ultima” series can be styled with curling irons and hair dryers.

Even if a product is labeled as heat-resistant, excessive heat can still cause damage to the product or injury to users. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and handle the hair attachments gently to prevent tangling or damage.

Heat resistance varies by product, so please check the packaging or manufacturer’s information before use. Use the lowest recommended heat setting, and be cautious when using heat styling tools to avoid burns, damage, or accidents.
