Yes, I was just about to ask. Okay forgive my ignorance but how would they get human hair that color? I mean would it start off as the lightest blond possible and then it is dyed that color? Isn’t that a lot of processing and wouldn’t it be much easier to use a synthetic hair like Frenchie suggested? Just curious because I’ve only ever worn natural shades.

I dyed the extensions myself, to match my natural hair, if that's what you're wondering.
doubt truth to be a liar.

If you want to try synthetic (great choice for different colours!), there's WaWa (not bad and cheap), Thermofibre (used to be avail. at shrinkies.net) and augenmerk as well as another (which I can't remember the name of right now...uggggh). You should do a search here and you will find lots of references to those synthetics. They are all fairly cheap and have just about any colour you could want!
So if I understand you correctly. This hair that you bought was originally like a very pale blond I’m guessing? And then you colored it that bright red? Yeah, that doesn’t sound like the most efficient way to do this and I’m not really surprised this happened. Try the synthetic.
No. What I mean is the synthetic would be the best option for you if you like those bright colors. Why spend $50 on human hair that is already processed and probably not the best quality at that price and THEN color it again. If anything the pigment in the bright red probably did not cause a lot of damage. It might have even sealed it a bit. The damage would have already been done when the hair was lightened initially. That’s what I’m saying. I agree with the advice you have been given and to purchase synthetic hair if you like those color options. That’s what I meant by a more efficient process.
Yeah, I've heard very good things about Thermofibre, so if you read that it accepts non-peroxide colour and some heat, then it's probably true. There are some people I have read that prefer the Thermofibre over human hair & it's so cheap that you just replace after every install --- no cleaning!!! Woopee! I say go for it.
Thats exactly it, and it smelled horrid! Like perm stuff or whatever. It looks so nice when she put it in. She gave me the left over hair, so I'll do a side by side picture tomorrow
Sounds like tha Sensationnel hair I had recently put in and taken out. Soft, pretty pretty big bouncy curls, once water hit it, smelt like a perm, color/dye was washing out and stunk and tha hair stretched out and was wavyish and itched like hell, only had it in for lil over a week it was driving me soo crazy
Price of the application isnt always a reflection on the quality of the work, however on hair it can be.
Perhaps ask the suppler the quality of the hair, by which i mean the grade, for applied extensions nothing below a grade B should be applied because of factors like you have mentioned.
Lesson learnt maybe? Always if your unsure ask for a sample of the hair prior to application, that way you can get idea of the quality, wash it etc lol. Normally this shouldnt be a problem for the company.

That is a great idea Scarlet! I will remember that (that is if I ever want to splurge and have someone ELSE do my extensions!)
