Color Human Hair Extensions

Hair extensions can be colored to match your natural hair.


Many women wear hair extensions to enhance their natural beauty, express themselves creatively or just do something fun and different. Celebrities often wear hair extensions for professional and personal use. There are even extensions for men who want to add a little length to their hair. Hair extensions come in a variety of textures, including European, Asian, African and others. You can style your extensions and color them to match your hair color in a few steps.


Instructions


1. Prepare your hair dye. Mix or prepare your hair dye according to the manufacturer's instructions.


2. Test your hair extensions. Cut a few strands of hair from your extensions with a pair of scissors. Perform a strand test by brushing hair dye onto the strands with an applicator brush. Let the dye sit the amount of time recommended in the instructions and rinse the strands. Visually observe any changes in the texture and feel the hair to check for damage such as roughness or poor elasticity. If the hair is damaged, do not color the extensions.


3. Place aluminum foil or a plastic cover over a counter top, sink or table to protect it from the dye. Lay the extensions flat on the plastic and begin brushing the dye onto the hair. You may use a spray bottle to apply the dye, but be careful to not spray it on furniture or appliances. Makes sure that all of the hair is covered with dye; saturate well. Allow the dye to sit per the manufacturer's recommendation.


4. Rinse the hair extensions thoroughly. Rinse until there is no more color in the water.


5. Wash and condition the extensions with a mild shampoo and conditioner. Do not rub the extensions together when washing them. Run your fingers down the hair to remove tangles. Rinse them well with warm water.


6. Allow the hair extensions to air dry and style with a flat iron or curling if you choose.
