In this blog, we are going to talk about a few tips on how to apply colour on your hair toppers or extensions.  

Tip 1. First of all, never ever go for the entire item at your first attempt. At first, trying to do a small test on a stand is always a good idea. It will help you to see how the colour affects the hair or if there are any adverse effects. It's also crucial to remember that the colour will not adhere as evenly to the hair as it would to your actual hair.  

Tip 2. Always go for high quality dye, because the original human hair extensions are quite pricey, and you don't want to ruin them right!? Our professionals always recommend high-quality semi-permanent hair colour so that it won't ruin your extension. High quality hair dyes will deposit colour onto the extensions without causing much damage. Also never forget to read all the instructions properly before applying it to your hair extensions.  

Tip 3. Never ever use bleach on your natural hair extensions. As your original hair can get nutrients from your body, but extensions won’t, right! Bleach is extremely harmful to the hair, causing it to become dry, brittle, and break off. If you want a lighter colour, it's best to use a high-lift hair colour.  

Tips 4. After applying colours, make sure you apply a good quality nourishing conditioner to maintain the health of your hair extensions. To maintain your hair extensions healthy and hydrated after you've dyed them, apply a nourishing conditioner. To assist prevent hair damage, use a conditioner with built-in heat protectant characteristics.
