I don't think h ow often you color counts as much with hair that is not
attached to your head. Just how much. It's not like on your
head where there are protective oils secreted by your scalp and
distributed to the hair.

yeah I agree with marie,cherrycoke.Its dicey.but I saw that the hair was virgin hair to begin with.Maybe try a color remover first.It should leave it orangey red.Which would be more than suitable to put a gentle dye over.I have never dealt with virgin hair before though,so maybe someone else will chime in.
We are talking about processed extension hair? If so Color will not lift it much if at all. I would not do it ,it's not colored the same way to begin with and when I have lightened in the past the hair comes out sticky. I would buy more hair. You can put semi permanent color on extension hair to darken. If this hair is virgin then there should not have been a problem. Hope this helps.
Hi. I had a question about coloring in another thread and was wondering if any of you more practiced colorists could tell me if it is safe to recolor hair? Like the next day? We are trying to lift some black to medium/dark brown and having no luck. We are using those hi lift brunette Loreal kits. I can't believe how hard it is to get to brown on this hair. Anyway, we let it siit for 30minutes. We really dont want to bleach. Do you think it would be safe to recolor tomorrow the very same color and let it sit longer? Will it make a difference?

When I had highlights I had a time matching colors.i had highlights and lowlights.But I bought one bag of the solid brown.And then a bag of light blonde.Then i would tone with demi dyes to match the different colors.I then made piles of different colors.And pulled them out to match each strand as close as possible.It turned out really good.The match was awsome.It was the hair that wasnt so great,lol.
You need a swatch to match her up or go to a store with her and buy it there. You will find a nice pre blended blond for her highlights and then her base and maybe eaven throw in some solid blonds. You just have to use your eyes and figure out how much you need of each. Every one is diferent if you post a photo and let us know what hair your going to use we could help more.
