Before You Consider Colouring Hair Extensions, There Are Two Factors To Consider

Before you consider colouring hair extensions

, there are two factors to consider:

1. Are you actually able to colour your extensions? Please check that you have human hair and not synthetic. Synthetic hair can't be coloured and styled like human hair.

2. Do you really need to colour your extensions. Quite often a subtle difference in colour between your natural hair and the extensions (i.e one to two shades difference) can be a good thing as it can create a more natural look and add another dimension to your hair. Also, if you can avoid colouring the extensions then that can help increase the life of the extensions.

Your best option is to avoid colouring by matching the hair extensions to your natural colour or as close as possible. If you can get a sample of the hair extension from your supplier before purchasing then that is really helpful. However, this is not always possible. If you are choosing a colour from a hair extension colour chart, and you think that none of the colours perfectly match your hair, try to choose a lighter shade and colour the extensions darker. This is less damaging to the hair than lightening the weaving hair extensions.

What To Consider When Colouring Extensions:When colouring, it is preferable to use a semi-permanent colour. These generally wash out in 6 to 10 shampoos and contain no potentially damaging peroxide or ammonia. Once the semi-permanent is gone, it leaves your hair the same colour as it was before. Because of its gentle nature, however, semi-permanent colourants won't change hair colour very dramatically. It has a slightly translucent quality that makes it better suited to enhancing rather than altering your natural colour.

Semi-permanent hair colour will take your hair one or two levels darker, or maybe even a shade brighter. The lack of chemicals means semi-permanents have no lightening power whatsoever. Therefore, if you are unsure about what hair extension colour to chose when purchasing, it is recommended you choose a lighter colour and dye darker.Semi-permanent colour is ideal for giving your hair a change of tone rather than radically changing your hair colour. If you have dark hair with dreams of being blonde, semi-permanent color is not for you.

Demi-permanent hair colour lasts from 12 to 20 shampoos. It contains a small amount of peroxide - which means some hair damage - but no ammonia, making demi-permanent a midway option between semi-permanent and permanent colour. Demi-permanent does a bit more than semi-permanent. It stays in hair longer before fading away. In addition, demi-permanent colour does a better job of darkening hair and adding brightness. The peroxide can lighten hair, but only slightly - usually less than half a level. Peroxide is not recommended on weave hair extensions as it will cause damage.With semi-permanent colourants, shampooing loosens their pigment molecules, causing color to progressively diminish until all the molecules are gone. Because of this, you will never experience tell-tale roots with semi permanent color.Good luck with your hair colouring and remember, if you're in doubt seek professional consultation from your hairdresser or advice from your hair extension supplier.
