Ok, Ladies....i just received 2 wefts of Amm's 22 inch Remy Gold hair today. It is truly stunning and feels like silk! But I have a dilemma I need help with! She was nice enough to ship it overnight to me so I could have it in time for my hair appt.....but she didn't have it in a dark brown. So I got # 7 ( a very pretty light golden brown). I am a level 2-3 with major red tones. I need to DEPOSIT color to this hair and was wondering if any of you could offer advice? Brands? Developer level? Suggestions to keep it from fading?
PLEASE HELP! I can't afford to mess up!

| Ok-- I am still stressing over this. I have to do it tomorrow! I have beed reading for hours now on the subject and am thinking I should use a filler beforehand to ensure an even color application? If the hair has been bleached, then would I only want to use a demi permanent so no further damage is done to the hair? Or would a permanent color with 15-20 vol. give it more holding power? If this hair turns back to light golden brown, I am going to look ridiculous! Maybe if I color it before install...then 2-3 weeks after...color it again to ensure the color "grabs" better? HELP Please! |

I've seen GL put the hair in first and colored everything after the install on a customer once. It looked good, but that's all I can tell you. I don't know if that was the right thing to do or not, but good luck to you. I'm sure you'll work it out and look great!  ------------- I learn to love and try to understand everyone I meet.

If you only can go to sally's, try clairol color radiance it's a gloss
kind of color. I think it's in a round blueish bottle. and you need
their special developer to go with it. Or you can try clairol's
Second Nature. That is deposit only color. I think you can use 10 vol
developer with it. These are both nice colors to use for going
darker. I just saw you are from Belgium.. so Sally's may not be of help Just try to use a color that only deposits color. Because you don't need it to lighten, just darken. Good luck |

When I dyed my hair and my extension hair from Blonde to Brown. I did it while it was in my head. I used a semipermanent color and when it started to fade just colored it again. I did not use a filler. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/prncezzral/ |

I just got done another coloring adventure. Go to Sally's, they are easy and inexpensive. I always get the Ion brand color. It is ALWAYS gentle on my hair and my extension hair. I would get 1-2 bottles of the Liquid color. The creme is nice, but thick. The liquid for me goes a lot further. I use a #3 red copper and LOVE it! Get yourself a bottle of the Ion sensative scalp developer #20. You will want to cut this 50/50 with water to bring it down to a #10 developer. Since you are only adding(depositing) color you only need a 10. You will need a color bottle too. Add 1 bottle of color(2oz), 1oz of developer and 1 oz of water and you are in business. Read the directions for how long to leave it on there, I think it 25-35 min for deposit only.
You prolly don't need a filler. I don't use them on my extension hair. I never have a problem with this color brand either. You prolly do want to get a conditioning/repairing treatment. I use Ion again, just the little packet they sell at the register...
Good luck, don't panic!! It's easy....

Thanks, ladies...for all the advice! I truly appreciate it! Just an update on how it turned out: I colored this #7 hair to a level #3 successfully! I used the Ion color from Sally's. I actually blended 3 different colors to get the perfect match...only after doing about 6 different color combos and realizing I needed to add a bit of neutral brown to keep the hair from grabbing so much RED. I used equal red brown copper, a red brown violet, and 1/4 part neutral brown. With that, I mixed a neutral protein filler to ensure even coverage and a 10 volume developer for deposit only. Processed 30 minutes. The color is right on-- a rich brown with a hint of red. I have washed it twice now and it has faded down just a bit. I hope it doesnt eventually all fade out too soon!
This hair is nice and thick... took color well...the only issue I am having is a bit of tangling on the underside. I am wearing my hair VERY long this time...almost to the bottom of my back...so not sure if tangling just comes with the territory at this length? It isn't horrible....but more than I have experienced before. I brush it about 4-5 times daily so it doesn't have a chance to get too bad. Do you think this has anything to do with the color I applied? I colored the Wagman hair before ( lifted it 2 levels with 20 volume color only in one step.) and it didn't tangle A BIT. I was under the understanding that this Remy Gold is from Wagman too....so I'm puzzled here. I am not freaking out about it at this point....but have only had it in for a week. I just hope this doesn't mean that in 2-3 weeks, it will be a big tangle factory from hell! Anyone have an opinion here? Thanks! |

| I think the darker reds/browns do tend to fade a bit at first. They mellow a bit on me too. You may want to invest in pureology. Not only are they great for extension hair, but they are gentle on your color too. The Hydrate line I swear by, and the conditioner is far and away the BEST product ever! |

| wow...I keep hearing that about Pureology. I will have to try it! I keep trying other things and always end up going back to my tried and true Kerasilk conditioner. It is truly awesome. I use the Abba sulfate-free shampoo. Smells minty fresh! I think the only thing I HAVENT tried is Pureology. |

| Sometimes at the salon you can find smaller bottles of it for about $5. It's a nice way to try the formulas they have with out shelling out almost $50 bucks for shampoo & conditioner. It isn't cheap, but worth every penny!! |
