I want hair extensions that are very real looking that only go down to about my boobs...my hair is 2 shades of blonde with some brown weaved through...can I get extensions that my stylist can color to match? If so, how, where, and what kind?

You should really avoid doing it if you can.  You should get your colourist to dye your hair exactly how you want it then purchase extensions in they shades and wallah.  I have dyed extensions darker before but bleach defo ruins them.

It's never a problem coloring extension hair darker when you use a demi permanent color.  I would not advise trying to lighten the hair, it would most likely destroy it because it's already highly processed.

i got a "strawberry blonde" cutical hair....meaning the cuticle is still on the hair...it hasn't been processed to death.

this was really really really light for my hair, but i figured it's easier to go darker than lighter.

.....did i mention it was too light?? LOL

my hair is red....or red-brown...or chestnut...or some shade thereof.  since red hair has all these different colors in it, it's so hard to match.  I used Loving Care on it in medium brown...and that still was a bit light, but they'll be underneath and as the summer comes, i'll lighten up as well.  i'll also have colored my hair quite a few times before i take my extensions out....and i've been told as long as you condition condition condition....on good hair...you'll be okay w/ coloring.

i also don't have issue with trimming the splits as they occur - cuz this is hair like my own...and it'll get splits just from daily wear.
