If you get yourself some clip-in hair extensions UK, and you end up not liking its tone a lot, there is a good chance you might not be able to return them or exchange them. However, there are some ways through which you can save yourself the extra cost of buying new hair extensions and get craftier with the ones you already have.
Dying your Tape-In Extensions is a simple home process, and you can make them into a darker colour tone or alter the tone according to your preference. However, if you want to lighten the hair extensions, consult a stylist first, as lightning can be a bit trickier. However, there are a few ways through which you can get around that as well.
Before you begin the process, double-check your Clip-In Hair Extensions UK and make sure they are human hairextensions as they can be properly dyed and successfully coloured. They can be Virgin Remy Hair or even I-Tip Hair Extensions, but they are human hair extensions.
However, you might be curious as to how to colour or dye Tape-In Extensions properly. Still, it is important to understand that you can do anything with human hair extensions, including dying, cutting, and styling them accordingly. Here are a few steps you can take to dye them properly:
- Choose a colour of your liking
First of all, make sure you have a colour in mind that you want your Virgin Remy Hair or I-Tip Hair Extensions. This process can also work effectively on Tape-In Extensions UK. However, when selecting the colours, make sure you select one from a professional developer line instead of a boxed colour from a drugstore, as that might not have the perfect results. This is because a boxed colour from a drugstore might not give you a developer with it, which is an important ingredient in colouring your hair extensions. If you have Tape-In Extensions UK or U Tip Hair Extensions, there is a good chance you might damage them without using a developer to dye them. - Gather all the supplies you need to dye your human hair extensions
First of all, it is important to know that developers are good choices and should be used. The supplies you would need to dye your hair extensions effectively include a good colour and developer, along with a colour bowl and a brush. You would need hair colour gloves or latex gloves, as you wouldn’t want to get dye on your hands. A tin foil is required, along with a plastic wrap and a wide-toothed comb as well. You might also need a towel.
Morever, make sure you have your flat tip hair extensions or U-tip hair extensions lined up. You can also use this dye on I-tip hair extensions UK as there is, as various extensions are available. - Organize the supplies and start mixing the colour
First, you are supposed to set up your workspace and organize every supply on a large counter or table. Make sure you spread a sheet or a newspaper to avoid any staining. The room should be well-lit and warm. Once you’re done organizing, start reading the instructions on the colour box and then prepare the colour. Most of the colours used are made of mixing developer and equal part of colour so that you would need around 3 to 5 ounces of prepared colour. However, this can vary according to the size of your I Tip Hair Extensions UK or if it is being used on a Lace Wigs Products UK.
Ensure you wash and then comb through the Lace Wigs Products UK and I-Tip Hair Extensions to untangle them. This helps apply the dye easily and leaves no space for any part being missed out. After you’re done with this, lay the extensions on the table covered with a sheet of newspaper, and then let them dry. Make sure you don’t colour them while they are wet or damp. - Apply the colour onto the hair extensions
Once the U Tip Hair Extensions UK or Flat Tip Hair Extensions UK have dried, put on the latex gloves and take a colour brush, completely cover and saturate each part of the hair extensions with the colour solution you had prepared, and make sure you flip the extensions over and colour the backside as well. Start colouring from the top of the hair extensions and colouring to the end, covering every part as leaving anything out might lead to a bad look. Make sure you don’t apply the colour upwards as that can damage the Flat-Tip Hair Extensions UKand the Virgin Remy Hair UK. - Process the colour
Once you have applied the dye to every corner and side of the extensions, make sure you loosely cover them with plastic wrap. This can help prevent the colour from drying before it even soaks in all the dye. This is processing the colour, where you wait and place the extensions in a room temperature room for a specific amount of time. Each colour dye has a specific colour processing time written at the back of the box, so make sure you follow that. However, the usual time to process the dye onto the Virgin Remy Hair UK is 20 to 40 minutes.
After a few minutes, check a small section of the hair extensions and gently rub the colour off with a paper towel. You should reapply the colour along with the colour brush after checking. Hair colour is supposed to be dark when it’s wet and dry; it shows the right colour tone. Once the process is complete, rinse the hair extensions. - Rinsing the dye off
Once you see that the processing of the colour is over, make sure you rinse off the extensions using relatively cool water at low pressure. Use your fingers and gently work the extra dye out of the Flat-Tip Hair Extensions. Ensure the water flow in one direction of the extension to ensure that the colour is off. This can take about 15 to 20 minutes, but don’t rush this process as it is important to remove the dye completely. After this, make sure you shampoo and condition the extensions to give them a smooth after look. After you’re done rinsing it, allow it to dry and use a comb to untangle it.
Conclusion
It certainly isn’t hard to dye your Flat Tip Hair Extensions at home, but there are a few steps you need to follow to make sure it comes out perfectly. Instead of buying different tones and colours of hair extensions, you can dye them through a simple in-home process and get craftier by trying new colours and shades.
