This is the straightest of all hair textures and based on the easy to use hair texture definition by Andre Walker this is known as type 1 hair.
Silky straight hair extensions suit those whose hair is either naturally straight or has been chemically straightened (those with chemically straightened hair may find silky straight micro ring hair extensions too silky a texture).
Just because it's straight, doesn't mean you can't curl it. You can use heat styling tools with micro ring hair extensions (but they shouldn't come into contact with the actual micro rings).

It might not seem obvious but micro ring hair extensions are available as Yaki straight or relaxed straight hair.
The Yaki straight texture and its variations (light yaki, Italian yaki, or relaxed hair) resemble Afro hair or very kinky coil textured hair that has been chemically (relaxed) or heat straightened.
Yaki hair has fluidity and lustre and is the go to texture for those with Afro hair looking for a straight texture that would be achievable with natural Afro hair.

Keep the hair moisturised daily with oil free sprays or moisturizers without mineral oils - it may sound like a daunting task but there are plenty of plant-derived oils for hair that are better suited to your yaki straight hair extensions.
Not a lot of people would've thunk it, but micro ring hair extensions are available in the kinky straight texture - hooray!
