When doing Tree Braids with synthetic hair, it is a common occurrence to have the final installation of your hairstyle to look voluminous. To tame the volume of your hairstyle, especially in terms of using synthetic braiding hair, its is best to relax the hair with low heat manipulation.
The same technique that you would do when doing a blowout on natural hair is the same in this situation as well. Most blowdryers have a setting of low, medium, and high and according to these ranges, you can slightly relax the volume of your hair on towards straightening out the hair with a blow dryer. Use caution on high blow dry settings because since this is synthetic hair, it is very possible that a high blow dry setting to melt your hair extensions.
