Wrap the hair around a roller and dunk in very hot to boiling water. Remove and air dry on the roller or unwrap when the hair is damp and lay out in its curled position to dry.

I spray my strand wet, use a super hot curling iron, wait til the popping is done, tip the top of the curling iron over to catch the curl in my hand and slowly open the curling iron. I leave the curled up piece in my hand til it cools and WALA, beautiful curl.

Purple:
Amm's method should work for most synthetic hair, if not all types. 
 
Woozy's method should only be used on synthetic hair that is thermal/heat tolerant. Some synthetic hair will melt is you expose it to heat from a styling iron.

Thank you. I thought I would go with Amm's suggestions first. The popping noise of the hair would worry me with these extensions
