advice// dying extensions?

aaawh, well you know when you have regualr hair bleach white powder mixed with developer, this is BLUE powder bleach:D it helps tone down the orange and yellow in one step:) Most brands of bleach have a blue and white version, i use Indola Rapid Blonde professional bleach....I would advise you to go to the Hair Colour section on hairboutique:D you can get loads of recomendations there:D:D

Ur welcome honey:) hope it works out for yah

I would HIGHLY recommend that you NOT try to LIFT the color. Please read the posts here or do a search. Depositing color can turn out ok most of the time if done carefully, but lifting is another story completely.

First off...blondes are already highly processed. Another process could FRY the hair. Second, sometimes the manufacturers use a fabric type dye instead of the usual hair type dyes, to dye the hair and will NOT lift correctly with bleach.

If its too yellow, you can use a purple shampoo or mousse or a few other products to help with the brassiness. But if the hair is too dark then you might either try selling it or exchanging it (sometimes they let you, sometimes they dont)

Im sure if you got remy cuticle hair, it was probably expensive. You wouldnt want to throw your money down the drain. If it was cheap hair then it wouldnt be a great loss if bleaching didnt work out.

My experience with bleaching extension hair that was not virgin indian remy, was not so good.  The hair turned purple and fell apart!!!  Try a toner on a strand, or use a color shampoo like Sherrie suggested.  If all else fails, try re-selling the hair.

Good luck.

Nicci,

Yeah def. try to get the company to offer you a refund or something.  You haven't used it yet, but some companies don't offer a refund due to the nature of the product.

I absolutely hate the brassy orange look, however for some reason some of the hair I have received always has that color tone to it!

Goodluck!
