Weekly Hair Extension Tip for April 11, 2012

What Do I Need to Know Before Coloring Hair Extensions?

Donna Bella Hair comes in a variety of 37 colors, ranging from jet black to platinum, to funky-colored hair to help you create the hair you want — whether it’s to match your hair,  add highlights or lowlights to it, or add vibrant color.

In some instances, when you can’t match the color you want exactly, you may need to color the hair you purchased. Since Donna Bella Hair is made from 100% human remy hair and has gone through extensive treatment processes to maintain the integrity of the hair, you can color the extensions as you would your own hair.  However, there are certain precautions to take when coloring hair extensions.  Here are a few of our recommendations:

- Deposit color to the hair; do not strip it of color.  This is particularly important to note because the process involved in lightening hair can damage the hair extensions permanently.


- Never go more than two levels when depositing the color.


- Color the hair extensions before installing them.


- Test the desired color on a strand of hair to see the results before coloring your whole batch of hair extensions.


As long as you follow these general precautions and others that may come from your particular brand of color, you will be able to achieve optimal results when coloring your Donna Bella hair extensions.

Can I Color 100% Human Remy Hair Extensions?

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Weekly Hair Extension Tip for January 18,2012

Can I Color 100% Human Remy Hair Extensions?

If at all possible, we do not recommend coloring 100% human hair extensions because we want to maintain the integrity of the hair extensions. However if you must, yes, you can color hair extensions using demi-permanent hair dye. There are hair dyes that are both permanent and demi-permanent in the same tube and you have the option to change developers, these hair dyes are not recommended. Demi-permanent color generally is ammonia free which means there is no ammonia in the tube itself.

Remember when using demi-permanent it means you are only depositing color to the extension. The rules of color do apply. If you are coloring hair more than 2 levels darker a fill maybe recommended. This has to be done with demi too. It is recommended that if you are coloring hair extensions, to choose the hair extensions that are two shades/levels lighter than the color you want to achieve.

Before coloring the extensions completely, it is best to do a strand test to avoid ruining a full set of hair.

Note that it is not possible to lift color or go lighter when coloring 100% human remy hair extensions. It will damage and compromise the quality of the hair.
