Wearing hair extensions is an easy way to add length and volume to your hair. In fact, that is also why hair extensions are so popular. But the questions are that the price of hair extensions is expensive, and the available colors for you is also limitable. The good way is that if you buy the right type, you can safely color your hair extensions.
If you want to color your hair extensions, you must buy only real natural hair. Because synthetic hair is made from nylon or polyester. This kind of material can not be dyed or the color can not be kept for long time. Human hair can be dyed pretty much as it is the same as your own hair
The next job is that you need buy a box of color from a drugstore or beauty botique, it will include a developer applicator bottle and a pair of gloves. Some high-end hair color products also come with a small bottle or pouch of conditioner. However, if you buy a special product from a beauty boutique, you will have to buy these separately.
1. You may have some experience in dyeing your hair, but you still need to test a strand of the hair extension before you start the dye job. This is because the hair used in the extension may react differently. Take a small group of strands of the hair extension and clip it to separate it from the rest of hair. Mix half a spoon of dye and half a spoon of developer application and apply the mixture with gloves on. Wait for some time as specified in the instructions that come with the bottle and rinse the hair to see the effect.
2. Before you start to color your hair extension, the first thing you need to do is to comb through it and get it untangled. Pay particular importance to this because even a small tangle will result in uneven coloring of that portion of the hair extension and will look odd when you wear it. Shampoo the hair extension to remove styling products (if any) and let it dry on a towel. Use an old towel, as this one is going to get stained when you are through.
3. With your gloves on, mix the hair dye and the developer. The right way to do this is to transfer the dye into the developer bottle and shake it vigorously.
4. Apply hair color to the hair extension, making sure that you apply it to every single strand of hair. Put the hair extension on the towel and let it dry. It is crucial that you read the instructions and see how much time you should give for the mixture to dry and the color to get absorbed.
5. Use warm water and rinse thoroughly to remove the hair color. Apply conditioner and let it remain for three minutes before you rinse again.
6. Use a wide-toothed comb to gently untangle the extension while it is still wet.
So after you confirm that you bought real virgin natural hair, not poor hair or synthetic hair, you must can safely color your hair extensions, including bulk hair, wefted hair, and clip ins.
