Wow not only is extensions addictive, but this board is too! God bless an internship where I get to surf the web all day!!! YAY!
 
Has anyone ever done an install with really dark underneath and light blonde on the top? My hair right now is 613--- and I have no idea what color I would do to get that effect without it looking weird? Maybe a rich brown? Would I have to dye my own hair that is underneath dark too so it doesn't look funny???
 
I don't know, this sounds like it could be a hair experience gone bad! Hahah!
 
Let me see if I can find a picture example. What do you think?

Hi Erica! Take a look at Amanda's work. She's a longtime member of this board and is one of the best I've seen at successfully installing high and low colors.

I've done 16/18/22 blends with the underlayer being in the 2/3/4/6 range and I love it. Right now I have deep purple under blonde and it plays peek-a-boo when it swings. Don't let light/dark combos scare ya... they blend better than most think.

I have to agree.. I'm just about finished putting together my #1 & #8  RK wefts I have.. The #1 is too dark for me so I brightened it up with the #8.. When it's installed the #8 will be underneath the #1.

I have platinum (real hair) with #613 extensions on the top and a few rows of #2/#4 underneath and I don't think that it looks weird... although maybe people are just not telling me. Wink I've been doing this colour combo for a long time now, and I love the contrast. I've never seen any reason to colour the bottom parts darker.

Those are some great blending pics by amanda. Thats what I had in mind when I asked a question about colors in my Blending thread. (27/613, 2, 613,) I wasn't too sure how to blend my fine relaxed textured hair.  But I am going to take Diva's advice and get all my hair braided up. Too bad amanda too far from ChicagoSmile
Hugs and Kisses!

I've been trying to tell her that for almost 2 years! I'll just keep proposing and keep my fingers crossed. ;)
