hey brandonlee....I Had the same thing a while back and it worked out fine perming the extensions.....the extensions i bought were virgin hair so i knew that I wasn't perming onto porous hair (which would cause major snapage).......i plated bundles of hair into loose plats them dipped them into the perming lotion..left them to develope then washed them, undid the plats and had extensions with a loose wave......good luck.x
p-s- if u want a deeper wave then plat the hair a little tighter but not too tight otherwise u will just end up with a crimped look.

I've found when perming wefts the more perm rods the better. Use really small amounts of hair on each perm rod and process according to package directions. For a stronger curl use Alkaline perm, and for looser perm use acid perming solution.
