Thank you for the quick reply.  I wash my hair every 3-4 days.  It does better that way.  BUT, I did try to do the wet to dry the other day, and it made it a mess. [i just did one small section]
I have some of the morrocanoil coming tomorrow, so I hope that helps as well.  This is all so new to me, and I paid a ton for these things, and dont want to fry them.  They are so comfortable too.  I cant ever feel them and I have 7 bags of hair on my head.

I think as long as you don't go through heat styling every day, you will be OK. You could concentrate the blowdryer at your roots to start and try to get them as dry as possible right away (for the bonds' sake). then you could roughly dry the rest and let air dry the rest. When it's 90 % dry, go over it with a flat iron. I find if you try to flat iron when it's too damp, it will just get frizzy because the cuticles aren't sealed. HTH!
Love clip-ins and tape!

Hi~
I am new to GL extensions.  I had clip in real hair extensions and I used to wash them, let them air dry and then flat iron them and then put them in.
Now with the GL, they are wavy, and I prefer to let them air dry except at the roots, and then I use a diffuser as well.
 
Should I dry them all the way and then flat iron, or just lv them damp.  since Ive been using serem they are really nice and shiny.
I have a Wet to Dry flat iron.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I really love to wear my hair straight.  The waves look really nice, but I prefer straight.
Thanks in advance~
