Tips on Dyeing Hair Extensions

Tips on Dyeing Hair Extensions

Lifetime of human hair extensions vary from a few months to a few years depending on the type and quality of the extensions. Human hair extensions that are permanently sewed in to your real hair usually last for a few months and often up to six months. In the lifetime of a hair weave, it is natural to want to change its color to match with your new look. Is that acceptable and can you change the color of hair extensions as you please?

Sampling

Human hair extensions are the same as one’s own hair and therefore anything you can do with natural hair can also be done with these extensions. So as with your own hair, it is possible to dye and heat style natural hair extensions.

When coloring (dyeing) hair weaves, Strand Testing is critical for the safety of the hair extension. This test basically confirms whether or not the dyeing process can damage the hair weaves. The dye must be prepared as per directions and then applied to a small portion of the hair extensions first for testing. Allow several hours, ideally 24 hours to see the effect and then continue with dyeing the rest of the hair. A lot of companies allow you to order samples of hair extensions that you can test with even before actually buying them.

Virgin Hair Extensions

Perfect hair type for coloring are the  Virgin  Hair Extensions. This type of hair would’ve never been chemically processed before you receive them and hence should be ideal for dyeing. Coloring of virgin hair extensions is much like doing them for natural hair and a lot of care must be taken to protect them from harsh chemical agents. Most other types of hair, especially synthetic hair, are unsuitable for dyeing as they tend to become really weak because of exposure to chemicals and dyeing them will irreversibly damage your hair extensions. Reiterating that strand testing is the best method to prevent damage from dyeing.

Lightening effect

Lightening is more difficult and risky than darkening. Lightening usually requires bleaching hair extensions which can really damage the hair extensions. To avoid bleaching, you can directly dye the darker hair into the color you desire, but that usually leaves a tint of dark shade. The hair ends up with shades of slightly orange. However, re-doing the coloring over and over again should remove the orange shade and eventually get you to the light color that you had wanted. Usually you need three iterations to obtain the perfect match. Colorings will have to be repeated in intervals of a few days.

Risks of Bleaching

If you still decide to bleach, you could use a stripper or eraser first. In general, for black hair, applying stripper twice reduces it to brown. Allow some time between using the stripper and bleach so the hair is not damaged too much. Get a good brand of bleach and prepare the solution using instructions on the box, and then soak the hair extensions in the prepared solution. Let it soak for a little while before washing away the bleach. Always remember that this process could severely damage the hair extensions and you may be required to apply bleach a few times when lightening hair. So follow the instructions carefully and pay close attention to any usage warnings. You could also try a toner to help with any left over tint after coloring.

HOW DOES HAIR VOLUMIZER WORK?

  1. How Does Hair Volumizer Work? thumbnail

    What It Is

    • A hair volumizer is a hair styling product that adds volume and body to thin or flat hair. Often in the form of shampoos, conditioners or mousses, hair volumizers temporarily give flat hair some much-needed thickness. Some hair volumizers are also found in the forms of hair sprays, pomades, hair masks and thickening creams.

    How It Works

    • Hair volumizers contain humectants that swell the hair shaft, temporarily making it look thicker. Polymers in the hair volumizers coat each strand, also adding to the thicker look. A humectant is a non-oily substance that pulls in moisture from the surrounding environment and attracts it to the hair strand. The increased moisture also helps each strand of hair look thicker. These ingredients give hair body, bounce and fullness.

    How To Use

    • Hair volumizers are relatively easy to use, depending on what form. A hair volumizing shampoo and conditioner are used just like regular shampoo and conditioners. Volumizing sprays and mousses are worked into dry or wet hair, while hair masks are left in wet hair for a few minutes to give it body and fullness. Volumizers can be found at drugstores, supermarkets and beauty salons.

      Homemade Hair Volumizers

      Add volume and body to your hair with a homemade hair volumizer made from common items in the kitchen.

      There are many ways to add volume to your hair, including thickening, plumping and adding bounce. Most store-bought shampoos, conditioners and mousses achieve this action through polymers and humectants that coat the hair, causing the hair’s shaft to increase in size. However, these products can be expensive. Luckily, there is a cheaper, faster alternative to adding volume to your hair. You can make a homemade hair volumizer using products you already have in your house to achieve the desired effect.

      1. Beer Spray

        • Yeast causes bread to rise, but it can also add volume to limp and lifeless hair. You can create a homemade hair volumizer by mixing a can of regular beer to ¼ cup of water. Do not use light beer, as this will not achieve the proper volume. Add 1 tbsp. of lemon or lime juice to the mixture for an improved aroma. Add the mixture to a spray bottle and spritz a generous amount onto the roots of you hair and massage into the scalp. Allow the beer to dry and style your hair as usual

        Beer Shampoo

        • Some people might be worried about the lingering odor of beer in their hair when using it as a volumizer. You can reduce the odor and achieve the same effect by creating a beer volumizing shampoo. On the stove, boil ¾ of a cup of regular beer down until it reduces to ¼ cup. Once the beer has cooled, add it to one cup of shampoo. Massage the beer shampoo into your scalp and leave in for five minutes before rinsing to achieve the best effects.

        Gelatin

        • While powdered gelatin is typically an ingredient for molded desserts, gelatin can also add thickness and volume to your hair. Create a volumizing shampoo by adding 1 tbsp. of powdered gelatin to your shampoo bottle. Mix thoroughly and shampoo your hair as usual.

        Sugar

        • Sugar also acts as a volumizer, creating bouncy, voluminous hair. You can create a homemade volumizing spray using sugar as the main ingredient. Add two packets of real sugar to one 20-oz. bottle of water. Mix thoroughly and spritz the mixture onto the roots of your hair prior to styling.

        Dairy Products

        • Milk products make an excellent leave-in homemade volumizing treatment. While you are in the shower, saturate your hair from root to tip in half-and-half and leave in for five minutes. Rinse your hair, blow-dry and style as usual. Another leave-in treatment involves mixing three egg whites with water to form a runny consistency. Leave the egg mixture in your hair for five minutes before rinsing.

          If you are not keen on using animal products, you can create the same effect using coconut milk. However, when using coconut milk, you do not have to rinse. Spray coconut milk onto clean, wet hair, blow-dry and style your hair with added thickness and volume.
